If we only get a little bit of rain for the rest of the day today, and none tomorrow the ground will have recovered to being a bit soft under foot but the ball will be perfect for clunking grabs as a little moisture seeps into the leather. More rain will work in our favour I think.

No rain forecast but take your coat.

Re: Match Committee - Round 10 2016 vs Collingwood

I'm not so sure about that. I seem to recall comments that he was a one trick pony and that he needed to add some midfield versatility. Dickson has won many people over but about 3 years go some still regarded him as old and slow and in the mix to be delisted.

I also think some people were critical of the club, probably moreso B-Mac, for drafting him.

He's down on a bit of form with the late start so I think we just need to be a bit patient with him.

Well personally I always thought he plays his best footy as a small forward, roving off packs and snapping goals. He also leads well. Can understand his lack of pre-season and injuries haven't given him a good start to the year, but he will get better.

Dickson is averaging exactly 2 goals a game (10 goals) this year. Not far off his average last year. If he is in the side as a small forward, he is doing his job. Last year was off the planet for him in terms of overall possessions. Pretty hard to replicate that but I too think he will warm up a bit as the season continues to progress.

Actually, Dickson is tracking along pretty much as last year and all his career. Not sure what is bothering some of us but it's there.

I just watched that last two minutes again and had a tear in my eye. That must be one of the gutsiest wins ever.

Only ten of those players are in today.
