    Are there two rules that conflict with each other, or what? I'm confused.
    Technically they weren't playing last week because they had the bye.
    I should leave it alone but you're not right

      It was because the AFL Hawks had earned the week off. I.e. Hawthorn were not playing that weekend, which technically ruled Mcevoy out.

        Oh, okay. Seems slightly dumb though, if the rule applies while the other team are still in the competition? Or is it to stop Box Hill playing the whole Hawthorn seniors team… that makes sense I guess…

        Okay, as you were. Thanks, I get it now

          Being reported that Sewell won't be playing today.
          More of an In Bruges guy?

            Further to this, both McEvoy and Sewell are not playing.

                Looks like there will be a reasonable crowd today.

                  More fans in red, white and blue streaming in at the moment than some of our Western Bulldog home games. For some reason Sunday football isn't a problem this week for our fans

                            Can we sub Howard?

                            He's a liability. Can't kick, can't mark, can't Shepherd.

                            Cost us 2 flasks so far
