    Will be interesting - but I suspect we see him tagging and learning as per most introductions to Snr footy

    welcome Mad Dog Warner

    I’m calling him “Hanging Chad” hope he’ll be hanging off Martin all game Sunday

    Not sure if Sportsbet knows something we don’t but Lewy Taylor is pretty short odds in the ‘anytime goal scorer’ market.... interesting considering he’s not named in the team !

    An absolute blight on Longmire, love Will but doesn’t deserve to be anywhere near the seniors this week

    I’m not keen for a first game player to be on Dusty. He would be destroyed!!

    George is the man for Dusty.

    I think they are giving him a few games off half back to see how he goes. Went ok there against the Dogs so worth another shot.

    I have no idea whether there was ever any truth to the "Coaches pet" tag Hayward has been lumbered with.
    When I first heard it, I assumed it was a one off piece of locker room banter (it sounds like something out of a primary school playground).

    But whether or not it had any substance in the first place, the sheer number of times it's been repeated has turned it into a genuine meme.
    Loose translation from the Latin is - I am tall, so I hit out.

    We certainly missed his energy and effort today.

He was making very good progress last year before he got injured. I don't see why he can't continue on that course. I think he's heading to be be our lock down small defender. It will take time to learn to control some of the most talented players in the comp. I don't envy a player in that role.

    I also would love to see Stoddart get a game, but rather replacing Mills so that Mills can finally play midfield.
    Just wanted to acknowledge you were right and I was wrong about O'Riordan. He played a good game yesterday and we can't afford to discard guys who show his endeavour without giving him a fair chance to develop and without there being a better option to replace him.

    Yes, a couple of times yesterday, I applauded the efforts of O'Riordan, in brief passages of play, were he probably wouldn't have got a stat. Both times were on the wing, and each time he harassed a Richmond player into losing possession, then ran through a shepherd to force the next opponent over the boundary. Both times shutting down potential danger.

    'Pretty bad' injuries hit star Swans, Dimma laments 'farcical' footy

    "They had no chance of scoring" dimma re the swans

    only scored from two 50m free's was his response
    "be tough, only when it gets tough"
