A Carlton-supporting mate texted me at half time checking I was OK. He felt all we needed to do some stop Cameron and we were home.
We did and it worked.

If I was a GWS player then I'd be wanting Toby Greene to be answerable for the fact he let all his teammates down (once again) with a ridiculous suspension at a vital time. I mean contacting an umpire? I don't care how talented you are, you aren't any good to anyone sitting in the stand watching on because you're suspended. 43 other players manage to get through a game without chesting the umpire.
For me it would be close to a sackable offence. Nicky Winmar was a better player and st Kilda showed him the door for a lesser offence.
Also has the rather miraculous trick of disappearing for the most important game of the year because he's a schoolyard bully.
The risk factor of that, that the coach has to worry about him doing something stupid at any time basically nullifies a huge part of the advantage he has on the field.
How frustrated would you be today if you were one of his teammates?
I'd take Cameron over him any day of the week.
People are being a little bit unfair on Joe Daniher.
Look at the size of him. Look at the way he moves; you know what you're getting.
He doesn't have the nervous system of Tim English, mobile and able to get involved.
He's a forward 50 specialist and needs one other experienced player up therre, which they didn't have due to injury.
He was never ever going to be able to keep up with Easton Wood, track athlete.
It's great for us and great for Easton to see him steaming down the center.
The window might be creaking shut if Neale heads back to Freo if the reports are true

Those damn umpires forcing Neale out of Brisbane now hey?
Freo have the upper hand as they know his been overpaid for the first part of his contract
If I was Freo I would let him see the remainder of his contract and let him walk . They need the draft picks to develop the kids especially ones local to WA to address the go home east factor that they are suffering from Cerra.
Have to expect the Cerra compensation will basically be moved on for Neale, or at least the bulk of it. Neale by far the better player but at 28, his best is either now or just gone. Cerra turns 22 next month, probably has 200 games in him.
Yeh I don't actually see a way that Freo satisfy Brisbane, given his contract (2 years to run and front-loaded).
Neale is a great (great!) player but they have a strong developing midfield, and could use their draft picks to bring in some youth in positions of need.
I think this could play out similar to Dunkley last year.
His on 750k a season . If I was a Lions supporter I would be demanding he earnt his money to justify the output
Or else he just becomes a flat track bully . Clubs pay the big money to expect the output
I hold Tom boyd 2016 final series in high regard as he performed against much strong opponents . He delivered when it matter
Not having a go at you, but his on big money and he needs to deliver when it counts . He was found wanting in this game
