game over, only a couple of minutes to go, Big Jake attacked Libba like it was the first minute of a GF, he was clearly making some kind of a statement!
If my memory serves me right Libba was concussed twice in 2023, once against Freo and then against Hawthorn. You don't need to get hit in the head to suffer a concussion just have a heavy impact. And delayed symptoms in concussion are not unusual. So the Stringer tackle could well have been the catalyst.

I’d be worried about something internal for Libba. Could be bruised kidneys as stringer hit him from the side. Hope they get him properly checked out.

I traded him in after his bye due to his ridiculously low BE. Only to be rewarded with an onfield 18. He has the E on this week and looks to be making up for it.

Sharp or Mckercher will be moving to the pine.
If he can advance his score some?...lol, seems like anytime someone talks about how someone's doing well during the game, the scoring magically stalls :LOL:

St Kilda have some serious problems in defence. You have Sinclair, Bonner, and NWM all lining up to take every single kick-in and running around to get as many uncontested possessions as possible. And then you have the Giants who seem to have free players in their F50 every time they kick it there. A pretty obvious correlation that prob needs to be sorted if they want to be a good team.

Wish I had gone Steele for C. Was the safe option. Wilson looks to have restarted his cash gen which is good news.
Given the way GWS have been playing, I was shying away from Steele for the C. Will probably also regret it!

I’m starting to look at McKay for the C now. I’m far enough back in the rankings (mid 30k’s) so I may as well enjoy a bit of risk taking.
