Damien Barrett what's his agenda ?

I think BAD may have answered it but lets pretend he wasn't injured.

Often you will see player X waiting to come one for a period of time 2-3-4 minutes in the dying stages all because the ball is on the wrong side of the ground.

With today's footy being so structured and team defense is it too big of a risk for one player to drop off and get off the ground so the teams best player can get on?

Last night I thought Bont was waiting far too long to come back on in the last quarter.

It doesn't have to be a one-for-one change. Just get the closest bloke off, get him on and work it out from there. Seriously - are interchanges really that hard? The ball was pinging everywhere last night - both sides of the ground...I think he was off for 10 minutes.

I agree 100%. I guess it's a case of risk V reward and coaches by nature try to reduce risk where ever possible?

Charlie Dixon was in the same boat last week against the blues.

It's actually pretty bad sometimes. Last year when I went to the Lions game at Ballarat my reserved seat was on the fence next to the Lions interchange. It was fascinating watching the players come on and off. Sometimes when the players were all on the other side of the ground, there were blokes standing there for 10 minutes trying to get on. There was no way to get their attention without a runner.

Old Damo just loves us these days...

IF ...
the music may have been a tad too loud at the Royal Pines at the end-of-season party ...

THEN ...
so be it. And not sure it was anyway. As in, I was two floors down and didn't hear a thing! Could not talk more highly of how this club carried itself in hub life in the past two months.

Looks like Beveridge's bathroom chat was a little more influential this time.

His tone with us has done a 180 this season. Did he and Bevo have a reconcilliation?

Nope. Not at all.

[Twodogs]

I've always said that Damo was a top bloke.

[Bulldog4life]

Nope. Not at all.

Maybe they bumped into themselves in the HUB and had a kiss and cuddle.

His just sucking up because he's missing out. He goes looking for a story and get a cold shoulder.

From more than one club !
Problem is he heads the AFL media so i imagine clubs would have to communicate with him now.

Just on the Higgins video...he wasn’t preparing for a prelim. Well, he was - in the same way I was. Preparing snacks to consume whilst the game was played.
