Stuffing around with the team, I decided to upgrade Phillips to Dusty and Cripps to Neale. it cost me Daniher and Caldwell but so far so good.

Also, that's probably the first game I've sat the whole way through as a neutral in nearly 3 years. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

They will rarely get SC plaudits but how good are Graham , Shedda & Lambert.

Up and back all game long , unreal the work they do.
Hear, hear.

Tried to make a play to poach a contracted K Lambert from the reigning premiers in SCSUL to no avail.

S Edwards my only player involved tonight. :cool:

Just saw Rowe was only 173cm... reminds me very much of Cavarra, Davis, Gibbons, etc, I think I'll pass!
He mightn't score great being stuck in Adelaide's forward line but he should be a lock in his position, we just sacked the guy who had that role before him. Lachie Murphy will be putting pressure on for it if he's not named but outside of that, it's probably someone like Newchurch (who looks to be an exciting prospect but I doubt he's ready) and any young midfield prospect we wish to ruin. All in all, I think he's got solid JS, just in the wrong forward line but just nice to have the scores turn over sometimes.

North Melb.
And so the shades of grey begin. Vlaustin gets subbed out which means the doctor has determined that it will keep him out for at least 12 days. At the end of game presser the coach says “they don’t know what it is” and “we hope he gets up next week”. :unsure::unsure:

So what exactly is the role of the AFL chief medico during this week? To assess if he is right to play or; is it to assess if the club doctor made a defendable call on match day? Surely it should be latter but it is hard to see one doctor contradicting another.
