    Some might not realise that Lance is his real name though.

    I thought it was his second game that he got injured. Not that it matters...We need him to last longer than that 😞.

    I am concerned too after seeing the vision. Hopefully it will be just a fine because the player wasn't injured but he did jump off the ground. I just checked the afl site but no MRO report yet.

    $2000 fine for the bump plus a grand for accidental umpire contact...Phew.

    Plus Heeney fined $1500 for striking Lobb. Missed that one.
    Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.

    Surely any contact with umpires should be graded the way all other contact in the game is, by the severity of the resultant injury

    Seriously though, the phrase "a fine for accidental umpire contact" is so laughable.
    The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.

    Seven News tonight Buddy only less than 50%to play this week. If it is any risk to play him why not give him a week off.

    Is it the groin that was concerning him after the game?

    Yes. OTC showed vision of when Buddy felt it in the last 90 secs of the game before he took himself off.

    They (Tom Morris) also mentioned Luke Parker has to overcome a hamstring issue before he's selected this week, but did not elaborate further on the extent of it.

    I'm still scarred by the game last year when McEvoy tore us apart, and I don't think we can count on Ronke to kick 7 again. (Although I will laugh my head off if he does)

    We lack a decent tall marking target between the 50m arcs. If Buddy is out, the situation becomes desperate - it's basically Sinclair (who rucks all game on his own) and McCartin (who isn't yet old enough to shave).

    I'm not sure what the answer is though.

    Surely Dawson comes back in though, for either Buddy or perhaps Robinson (and Fox keeps his spot to help out Sinclair in the ruck a bit).

    Who is he anyway. Never heard of him until he lobbed on OTC.
