Mate I'm just calling it how I see it, believe me if I thought he was no good I'd say so, I'm just glad you're related to John and not poor old Brent Hall.

Good luck to JA, kid certainly appears to have just what we need in terms of a KP defender coming through and whether its this year, next or whenever, I certainly hope he takes his opportunity.

Just thinking about this week not playing is a big disadvantage for Willi with playing Werribee (Bulldogs).Bulldogs played on Saturday night and players can now back up this week to, cant they?
Then I thought poor Dogs have got that many injuries probably havent got enough plays to cover anyway.

No, you need a special exemption from the VFL to play AFL listed players when your AFL affiliate has the week off, we had to get 1 for Bucks last year but he was coming off an injury, they wouldnt grant one to blokes who played AFL the week before and the AFLPA may not agree with it

What about the other way around can say the Blues play Kennedy who kicked Five for the Bullants this week.Would of been good to give Rhyce and Richards a run before coming back for this week.Thought I throw Richards in there Eddie, no how much you like him :wink:

Guy Richards, the one bloke who has done absolutely **** all at any level yet still gets games at the top level over more in form players and despite getting far better opportunities still does nothing

As for the Blues, hell yeah they can, there is no limit on AFL selection, only on VFL selection

Would any of you guys think the rookie kids Cox, Nicholls & Toovey have any chance of being selected in the next pre-season draft???

Although we are well aware of the step up from VFL to AFL level but even though these kids may not end up at Collingwood I think they can all play.

It would be fair to say that even though I've seen the least of Shannon Cox he looks the purest footballer, in terms of his size and versatility.

I've mentioned before that Tooves just never stops, I'm not saying he isn't skilled but he has a bit of Licca about him in the sense that he seems to always want to keep going.

I'm a big fan of Danny Nicholls, not comparing him in any other sense except that like browny used to do, nicholls will just put his head down and go where the footy is with no regard for his own safety it seems. Tenacious would be a very accurate word

WE could definitely use one of those. Is he a crash straight through Byron P type, or a bounce off but ignore the pain type?

definitely not the byron type, a small kid but he wants the balls and will go and get it, regardless of what is coming or who is in the way.
