I traded in Miller/Roberts for round 6 (Miller good draw over the next 4 rounds) and both go down with a knee issue. I was tossing up between Neale and Miller so when Neale went 70+ I was happy with my selection only for the Supercoach gods to strike me down for getting ahead of myself to have Miller go down with a knee. That's 3 premo players (Stewart/Cameron/Miller) I've had in my side for 1 week only to trade them out the following week . Chewing through the 36 trades at this rate - not happy. I'll warn all players I'm looking at Miller to MacCrae, just warning everyone that I'm about to out my Supercoach curse on MacCrae.

Touk out for 'a fair portion of footy', what ever that means it doesnt sound good!

Miller had scans late on Monday morning, with Suns football manager Wayne Campbell delivering the news.
"We expect him to miss a fair portion of footy," Campbell said.
"We can't really put a timeframe on that until after he’s seen the surgeon, but he will be unavailable in the short-to-medium term."

Fox ran past the ball and hits Duncan....how and where could that ever be reportable....yes im biased.....but so are you! ;):ROFLMAO::LOL::ROFLMAO:
It was more of a comment on past incidents really, as Geelong have often got off fairly lightly with punishments for incidents similar to players from other clubs (thinking of just recently Rohan's sling tackle, Danger trying to copy Toby Greene with a foot to the face etc). I actually don't have an issue with the Duncan one myself.

It means 1 of 2 things, wrap him up and get him ready for next season, discount on offer for SC players, or he comes back Round 14/16 (post bye) takes several weeks to get his fitness up scoring below par, dropping $$$ ripe for a sideways trade to a fallen prem in SC finals prior to finals?
Thankfully it's not an ACL

Ditto. What annoys me more is the way the Ch7 commentators immediately go into defence mode for players deemed to be "good blokes of the game" and find every way possible for it not to be an MRO issue.

But if it's Toby Greene they have him rubbed out for 4+ by the end of the quarter. You would hope the MRO does not react like Ch7 commentators (and thank God Luke Darcy is not on the panel) but sadly there appears to be an element of unconscious basis at work. I guarantee Toby would have copped a ban.

Toby is a dirty player though. He nearly took someones eye out with his stops one game.
