Re: Possible trade

Not sure about who to trade I think we should make the most of our early picks. What I would like to see maybe is if Lee holds up as a decent forward - which is why he was recruited. Give Nick a turn at CHB. That should give him a bit more longevity rather than getting crunched in the forward line a...

Re: Go on defend that umpiring

For what it's worth I was at the gane and was as angry as anyone during the game. I watched the game again next day and I thought on reflection the umpiring wasn't as bad as I thought. The decision against Saad was a bad one, the in the back to Priddis was very iffy, the free kick to Hurn when he dr...

Re: Why is everyone playing 'injured'?

Yes - We were saying last night looking at the game on TV that McEvoy seems a lot thinner than he was a few weeks ago.

Was it the Carlton game he played really well and then hardly taken a mark since then but has lost a lot of weight?

Re: BBBB Hall admits he should've got suspended re Goose hit

From memory I think the argument was - that it wasn't behind play which would have been a much more serious offence (at the time).

I think Barry or maybe someone else, also got off on one when he hit someone after the 1/4 time whistle but I maybe wrong about that one.

Re: BBBB Hall admits he should've got suspended re Goose hit

I was sitting right where it happened that night and although I didn't see the actual hit - because the actual play was so far away. Goose did go down for a fair bit and was on his hands and knees from memory, this allowed Hall to be free and take an easy mark and kick what may have been the first g...

Re: There's Been Worse

I was there for that Hawthorn game at Waverly - still gives me nightmares. From memory I think that was the beginning of the end for Tim Watson and when Everitt stopped trying. I think the next week we had a lead over Collingwood at half time and then lost to them in a similar way. However the worst...

I could be wrong but I think O'Brien went to Sydney with Lockett. Sydney made a huge offer for Lockett and he went. Jayson Daniels started with us went ot Sydney and then came back I think. Great club man but possibly worst kick ever. I think Daniel Healy kicked 6 goals one day - on his birthday! Ne...

Re: McGlynn hit on injured Steven

I was at the game and noticed the Swans player bump Jack. (Didn't know it was McGlynn) however it would be hard for him to say he didn't know Jack was injured as he had a trainer/runner right next to him. It was Obvious he was going off and he wasn't quite right. It looked really deliberate to me. S...

Yes - I think you are right. From memory anyone suspended for a minimum of 16 games was ineligible to play. Not saying it is right but I think that is the rule. Bakes would be well and truly over that limit.
