    I have said it before, but is it time for a rotational ruck policy? There's barely a big bloke in the league that isn't injury prone these days, due to the workload they have to put their bodies through. Have Tippett, Naismith, and Sinclair managed one game out of three in the NEAFL, and throw Reid in that mix to keep him fresh, too.
    C'mon Chels!

    Probably a bit late for that after the AFL has released this.

    My prediction is Dawson won't star in the NEAFL this week :-)

    Sensible change, Hayward brings X-factor, plus more pace and pressure to the forward line.

    Longmire on Fox League Teams shortly.

    I do find the continual non-selection of Dawson, even as an emergency, to be slightly odd. This week would be a great opportunity for him to travel with the senior team and go through the motions, given there's no NEAFL game. Foote was good last week too, but Dawson was better, and has been consistently better.

    Dawson's continued non selection worries me but I can see why they went with Will and fair enough. We might see Dawson against Freo at home.....less pressure. In regard to the umpire selection for this weeks game......just gobsmacking! The AFL don't do 'subtle' very well at all, do they?

    Dawson shouldn't be named as an emergency unless the coach is prepared to play him.
    It seems that there is no intention of playing Dawson at the moment, for whatever reason (s)
    That's cool, I'm sure they are valid, just as I'm sure they were when Mitchell was starring in the NEAFL and not getting a seniors birth, and he'd already had some time in the seniors as well.
    The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.

    Why do you think he's a dickhead? He seems to have a great attitude.
