Seems to give 110% every week and keeps getting into the 2s best. Does he have any chance of being retained?
I've only seen him on TV this season and he still seems about 8:2, effort:skill. Anyone watched him play recently able to comment?

Anyone know what the problem was with Eli at the weekend? VFL match report just has him as 'absent'.

I loved when the carlton player knocked him down and sat on his head - and Gresh just dished off the hand pass anyways as if he always wore that bloke as a helmet!

Saturday night just proves even more how much we need Hurley, even with JC coming in!!!!! Pres, easy to bring stuff up in 6 months time!!!!! Should enter politics, get a Combover and state the obvious Donald!!!!! Love it that "JC" is coming :D Is this the real reason we moved Rooey onto t...

I don't believe the umpires are trying to do anything but their jobs - no conspiracy theorist me! - but I do think the "below the knees" rule needs clarification.

I missed the free against Hickey but I think the one we're questioning went against Dunstan - he was scrambling after the ball and a North player tripped over him. If those are gonna be paid, you'd never be able to pick the ball up off the ground!

Occasion got the better of us. Plus some iffy umpiring at crucial moments. Was it better for us to crumble in front of goal like this today or in the first week of finals? Not sure.

Boomer Harvey - must be one of the most boring people ever to have played the game. Even his closest friends couldn't think of anything to say about him. "We love him because - er - he's a good bloke".

Two options here.

1. I'm biased.

or

2. The AFL is corrupt.

Which is more likely I wonder?

Whoever said double-spread on Hickey this w/end would be kiss-of-death - hope you're wrong!

Good to see Stanley play so well at last! Gee he's been a slow-burn. Glad Geelong have had the patience. Hmn. Maybe that's why they're called "gee - long"!

Loved Seb on Marngrook - so intelligent and considered (is he really a footballer?!) Named Richo as his greatest influence and said something I've never heard anyone say about a coach before - that he's "kind" and honest. What great qualities for a coach. Kindness must be one of the most u...

Can't stand seeing Moana Hope in a Collingwood guernsey! Been brilliant for the St K Sharks - ought to be playing for us dammit.

I would've had Membrey on that list - as a +1 though - not at the expense of the three named (feel certain billings will come good).

Confirms my impression from the bit of the game I watched on TV - Josh Saunders was the only player really giving 100%. Such a pity - in another team, at another time, he'd get his chance but doesn't look like he'll make it with us.

If anyone had told me at the start of the year that I'd open the paper after round 18 and see us outright 9th on the ladder I'd've told 'em they were dreamin'! I hope we get in. But if we don't, I mostly hope we don't fall away if we happen to lose this weekend and whatever happens finish the season...

Unfortunately, Lonie is learning 'appropriate' body language from his skipper in the 1s. Roo's worst trait (aside from his new-found predilection for passing to a man under pressure).

My top 5, based strictly on my excitement factor when I see them chasing a player down:
1. Mav
2. Membrey
3. Geary
4. Armo
5. Wright

Lonie or Minch will come in for Sinclair. I would have said Jimmy W with Wrighty going forward BUT I understand he's a week or two away. Eli unlucky that we have an abundance of small forwards and AR doesn't see him in his future plans Is Eli even a small fwd? I see him as a small back. Eli is only...

What do you mean 'he put the list together' That is so incorrect He was a part of the selection panel every week....
