I don't feel too sorry for rough- he'll dominate at box hill and be back in the seniors soon

Tone doesn't come across in the written word. So we add our own intepretation of tone when reading a post.I can't recall you or anyone else here belittling Ruff, I am not sure where the OTC rant came from, really bizarre. I wasn't intending going Sunday but may go earlier to watch the big man in he VFL, would love to see him help lead and develop some of the kids in the VFL, I do however feel it's best we hand the reigns over to Mitchy Lewis for the remainder of the season, it's time for better or worst that Ruff moves on.
How the **** does Poppy survive the chop.
Ah... by being our most consistent forward? He'd be the first one picked inside 50 every week. Averaging 20% more tackles in front of goal than anyone else in the compHow the **** does Poppy survive the chop.
Same here. Admittedly he was quiet against Melbourne but he was just as quiet in many games last season and his form has generally been an improvement. I suspect Clarko is sending a message to under performing senior players, but also conceding we're a long way off the pace.I'm a bit surprised by the Rough dropping
Thought he has been better than he was last year to be honest

There quite simply is no Roughead replacement. I suspect his form was just at the level where they could justify dropping him to keep a kid in the team, internally I mean. His structural importance compared to Poppy is actually a negative for Rough going forward.Same here.

The question is who replaces Roughy up front. Schoenmakers is surely finished except as a depth player, TOB & Sicily look much better in defense, Ceglar has never had consistent impact as a forward, and Koschitzke surely isn't ready. Which leaves Nash who seems to have athleticism and not much else. Perhaps Clarko wants as many weeks to find a forward combo without Roughy that works so we won't feel pressured to trade for a KPF this year. That's assuming this isn't a one-off with Clarko planning to bring Roughy back next week.
Unconfirmed rumour. Smith dropped.
He's burning the boats as we speak.So, we might end up getting Anderson after all
As we’d expectRough looked very very flat during that interview.
anyone have a video of Rough speaking? have not seen thisRough is a broken man and watching him struggle to talk on the footy show about being dropped is heartbreaking
He deserves our ******* respect and those who have revelled in his being dropped and I’m looking at you SA HAWK and others, you are ******* campaigners and not fit to support this club.
This man has given you four premierships and cancer has fast tracked the end of a great career so he doesn’t get the opportunity that his mate Taz, Mitch and Hodge got, so to read some of the posts on here about him makes me sick and you campaigners should be ******* hanging your heads in shame
