    Marcus Adams is injured again. His foot again.

    This guy cannot take a trick.
    Can play, can't take it. Poor fella.

      Same, I've met Marcus and had the pleasure of a decent conversation re his life outside of football. Really nice fella.

      Wish him all the best.

        He does seem like he's quote heavy for his build. Stress fractures in his foot two years in a row is rotten luck though.
        Agree that Brissie will be hurt although KPD is an area they can cover. Hipwood a bigger loss.

          Yep. Interesting they’ve turned around the injuries to most injured players, but can’t quite keep Marcus on the track. On their fortunes now, I think they’re probably not fighting for top 3 anymore, but fighting to keep 4th. Daniher is really going to step up and fake at least threes a quarter to hit the scoreboard. But if anyone can, he can.

            Bad luck again for Marcus. He was playing well.

              Paul Dimattina considers move to state politics as a Liberal Party candidate

              Former AFL player Paul Dimattina is considering running for state parliament.

              Dimattina, who played 131 games for the Western Bulldogs before being delisted in 2003, told the Herald Sun he had been approached by the Liberal Party and was considering running next year.

              Liberal Party sources said Dimattina could run for the seat of Albert Park in a bid to oust the incumbent, Health Minister Martin Foley.

              “We think if he ran in Albert Park we could win that,” one senior Liberal said.

              Dimattina, who owns South Melbourne’s Lamaro’s Hotel, has been highly critical of the government’s pandemic response, and has called for Daniel Andrews to resign. “It’s true, I’ve been approached and am considering running.”

              He has been particularly critical of the lack of support for businesses, and said ongoing lockdowns and restrictions had decimated his business. “We were the most liveable city in the world … we’re not anymore, which is really sad. I’m a proud Victorian, well, I was, I can’t say I am anymore.”

                    He considered making a move on the Bulldogs board a few times and of course never followed through.
                    I'd be surprised if this is anything more than another headline grab.

                        Lukey D turning back the clock. This would be his best game since that one good game he had against Geelong when he was trying out for them.

                          If you don't already live in the Albert Park electorate I wouldn't put it past you to move there just so you can vote against him.

                            I think the difference here is that there is money to be made out of it.

                            That may sound snarky but it isnt meant to be, you erally get nothing out of being a board member at an AFL club.

                                Shaun Higgins charged with staging. $1,000 with an early plea.

                                I don’t know the exact details. But I imagine it was faking to lay a tackle or pretending to run both ways. Serious and expensive stuff.
