Still no Gregson, either? DUH!! Scratch that
Just re-read the AFL team changes!My bad!
I'm just so happy to see Cowan, Bates and Vardy still lining up... maybe Delaney will be there next week?
I think the injury update has frozen on 2 weeks for him, meto. Might have to give the stupid thing a kick (the injury update, I mean, not poor Delaney!
)
Yeah, I'll be likely heading up the Midland Highway for the game, I usually do an annual trip to the 'Rat to re-live my uni days, see what's changed, & catch the VFL boys in action!
Delaney's movements on the injury list over the past month have been 4-6, 2-4, 2-4, 2. So tracking about as expected.I think the injury update has frozen on 2 weeks for him, meto. Might have to give the stupid thing a kick (the injury update, I mean, not poor Delaney!

I just think positively, meto- what a lovely surprise it will be for us all when he appears, eh?
Thanks sauron. Good to know someone's keeping the club honest by tracking those numbers
hopefully he'll soon be off that list and onto the park!
Time for a Bates like rant now that Delaney is the new Bates?
Interesting, Goddard is pretty considered. Might be just dependant on form now.
I was shocked and surprised to hear blokes coming out of the woodwork and maligning the surface of the G because it had only been a few days earlier that I'd read an interview with Brian Lake, who credited the soft training ground plus the softer surface of the G as been two reasons that have allowed him to be playing as long as he has:
I was shocked and surprised to hear blokes coming out of the woodwork and maligning the surface of the G because it had only been a few days earlier that I'd read an interview with Brian Lake, who credited the soft training ground plus the softer surface of the G as been two reasons that have allowed him to be playing as long as he has:
"Training has changed, just probably more the workload. You're doing more quality work at my age, and a lot of other guys are on the same sort of program," Lake said.
Changing clubs has had an added bonus too, with the old Dog playing on the softer MCG more often than Etihad Stadium and training at the more forgiving Waverley surface instead of Whitten Oval.
"We've got a really soft ground down here at Waverley. We got it fixed at the end of 2013 I think it was. We got the whole ground resurfaced, which cost a fair bit of cash," Lake said.
"I reckon that's one of the things, and a couple of tweaks in the weights room, but nothing much, has probably helped me recover a lot better from games and takes that wear and tear out of you.
"That's so crucial when you're 33 or 32 years old … and probably taking a little bit of weight off as well helps."

When I read that Lewis had criticised the G, I figured it was a Hawthorn cover-up, but then I heard Goddard had spoken about it as well.. pop went that idea
He has had his chance. We can't afford a drop away in form like that. We need to trade him while he still has some value.
I'd say soThanks JUBDo you think his drop in form was a result of his tiredness?
lolJust when I thought you couldn't be more insane
Which one? Gregson or Bews?
Which one? Gregson or Bews?
I need to recalibrate my sense of humour for here.
