The best players break them. It adds another interesting element to the game.

Given we only heard about this all fairly late in the week you'd assume its nothing too serious.

That's huge news for North. He's an important player imo

terrible terrible news.

Yeah he's been awesome for you guys this year, do you have another tagger who would replace him, or go for another major ball winner now?

no other tagger, saying that farren ray is in so he could potentially tag. Dummont is in who is a ball winner

Couple from Brisbane today

Rockliff completed all agility training today so almost certainly baring setbacks should return next week. Rockliff has limitations with his body after discussions with the specialist in Canberra is now aware how to manage his hamstring issues. Not sure whether that gives confidence though to select/hold him.

@rockwiz38 (hamstring) expected to return next week. Is doing plenty of agility work at @brisbanelions training @AFL


From Leppas press conference today not the best news for Beams:
JL: Beams will go to surgery again next Thursday. Not sure of an end point whether a month or end of season. Complication with the tendinitis.

[Capper]

Bennell out for the season

[plumdog millionaire]

Bennell to be 340k next year?

[Sabretooth Tigers]

Bennell to be 340k next year?

2017    Round 1    Richmond  V  Freemantle

Yarran  and H Bennell playing on each other in their first games for their respective new clubs.  Wouldn't that be an AFL irony.
What's happening is a pity really because they both have the ability to be very good players, be a bloody great waste if they don't take advantage of their obvious abilities.  And for those who haven't picked up on it yet the 2017 draw is just a joke.  Cheers all.     ;)
