Really hope Sunny is ok.

He's been great all season and really should win the B&F. I dont know if they can only give it to an AFL listed player though??

I've been on his bangwagon for a long time and I was of the opinion that he will get drafted for the 2012 AFL season.

The only positive is that an injury could scare other clubs off so we can take him. As selfish as that sounds.

I just want him on our list in 2012.

As far as the game today....

Something was missing today. I dont know what it was..... perhaps it was just the smaller crowd??

It got dark early and you just wanted the siren to go.

I thought Wood dominated, which he should anyway against Frankston.

Young stood out and I thought Couch was good.

Little Bull was also good for mine.

Scott Reed needs to lift.

Shae played a variaty of positions. Did ok, but I'd really like to see him dominate a game again. Finds himself open alot, but teamates seem to ignore him a bit.

Got to hear the boys sing the song with gusto. Which lifted my spirits.

Still, something just didnt feel right today. I've been sick and I didnt sit where I normally do. I forgot my American flag. But I dont know.

Happy with a 5 goal win however!! :P

Anyone go down into the rooms when the boys sang the song? Did Witts get the Powerade shower, being a debutant? I would have thought they would need a fire hose to drench him, given how big he is... :shock:

Interestingly, Witts, in perhaps a harbinger of things to come, played in the number 18 today... :wink:

LOL DTM, yeah he towers over me, but his face looks so young.

Played a very good debut game just quietly.

No statement has been put out by the club, but I would guess, from the way it was described on the LiveChat, that it was a stinger, and that he should be right to go this week...

Interesting to see Rob Condy was compared to old possum eyes himself, Alan Toovey. We've missed Toove in recent weeks, he frees up Harry O to run and carry. Will be interested if Condy gets a look in at seasons end.

Ive been impressed by him in recent weeks. Very cool in a crisis and his disposal is very good.

Rob Condy is only a VFL top up player.
