He isn’t very sharp that one.

Essendon said that??

Lol, enjoy the win mate. We were the better team and also stuffed chances to put them away late in the third and throughout the last.

Dal Santo puts his prong in toilet rolls with his teammates and they take photographs of it to keep on a shared drive.

Everyone is guessing. Better to just wait for the medical check.

Think it’s common to be able to walk freely with a rooted ACL. And if you’ve done it and out for the year, ice probably isn’t going to do anything.

Re Merrett. Need to refer to the actual guidelines rather than pure emotion. My understanding is if in a footy act, a player is concussed, the other player is likely suspended.

According to someone in the Hayes thread, yes.
Also on radio apparently.

Fox had gone with medial but not sounding good

They took it in the ass.
We belted them where it hurts most.
We were handball happy & most times it worked. We need a better handball kick ratio.

McGrath’s best games for 2-3 years
Reid was enormous
Hayes very impressive
McKay’s best game for the club.
Redman - jeckyl & hyde again
Loved Wright’s attack on the ball & player
Caddy was terrific
Durham is a star.
Langford, Caldwell & Perkins had no impact. Making it a better win.
Liked ADW ability to make position and SEH had a good first half.
Really think we need to move on from Shiel, Johnson would have made a better Sub.

One of if not his best game for us I reckon. His composure collecting and using the footy was as good as I’ve seen from him.

Having so many guys heading into next season on the recovery trail from ≈12 month injuries makes it quite awkward for your planning.

We are shaping up like Richmond at this rate who headed into this season with 5 or 6 blokes rehabbing ACL’s.

That’s isn’t the case, as was explained after the Mason Cox spoil attempt.

It was explained that even if it resulted in a concussion he would have been cleared as his intention was the ball and his action was reasonable

I’d seen that name around on Reddit. Don’t think it has been reported but it was out there

Did a crash course in decision making, and handball 101.
