      But we play a zone defence now, so versatility is at a premium. PLayers guard space and 'handover' when an opposition player runs from zone to zone - they dont follow him. Overall, an army of tallish, athletic defenders who can make a decent fist of defending whatever sized player they find themselves opposed to is what we need. That describes Morris, Hamling, Deuce and Wood.

      I guess the one 'gorilla minder' you probably do need just patrols the corridor?

        Pretty pathetic from Michael, and how childish and petulant is he.
        Might have just kissed his league career goodbye .

          But it's also points to the crows being undermining too if they used the information, knowing that its not right.
          Who's worse ? Talia or the Crows ?

            His grandad must be absolutely gutted.
            But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

              I wonder how it leaked out? Someone had two many orange juices on mad Monday?

                I read it happened after Kyle Cheany and Ben Stratton talked after their game friday night and Stratton told Beveridge.

                  Imagine being within 50m of Bevo when he was told... I'd imagine he'd be as angry as hell.

                    Not only can he not play, he's also an absolute moron.

                    I just hope Adelaide or Sydney are silly enough to cough up something decent for him.

                        I wonder if someone or anyone linked to the Talias had money on Adelaide. If so, my advice is simple... Wear a nice suit, have a good lawyer and pack your toothbrush.

                          I'm spewing about this. I mean, 61 years since our last Premiership, we enter the finals race and a current player who barracked for the Dogs as a kid, Grandad played for us and he knifes us in the back to one of our most hated foes who are not even a real football club. I'm disgusted. I wouldn't trade him I'd parade him in irons down Barkley Street.

                            Grandad was our number one ruck in 1954.

                              Hard to guess when a player is going to retire. Bob will be an AA selection and Boyd is a very strong chance. Along with Morris, they are invaluable to our young backline. Our two main key defenders have what? 30 games between them? JJ and Biggs not too many more. Wood has had his breakout year. I think we need our veterans not only for the short term but also to help develop our kids.

                              They have the right coach looking after them too. Resting/rotating them throughout the season. Don't know about you but I am pretty cool with having AA quality players for 18 games a year.

                              Re-reading it, might give off the impression I'm having a go at you. Totally not. Just think they are looking pretty good at the moment.
                              No worries I had similar a thought after posting the where most of us would have thought this was Boyd and Morris' last year pre-season.

                              And your points are all valid but 2 of those players will be 34 next year. The drop off may not come next year but as we saw with Westy and maybe Johnno it can come on fast and strong
