    Doyle to miss 4

    Todays SMH tells that Stevie D is going to miss 3-4 weeks due to an ankle injury. Doest give any real detail, but there you have it.

Impossible is not a fact, it's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration, it's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing!

    Ah, crap. I have a bad feeling it will be 2003 all over again for him.

      One more year like 2003 for Doyley would surely see the end of his AFL career or a severe reduction in pay...like match payments only.

        Not a chance. Are you forgetting that Ball will retire?

          Exactly. Also look at teh chances they've given Heath James. I don't think Doyle is done with yet, even if this year turns out like 2003.

            at least with the ruck depth we have now they won't try and rush him back in underdone.
            then again, i think it would be worth trying 15-16 players on field so what would i know

              That 1st round draft pick trade is looking more and more inspired with every day!

                Yeah, but having Doyle replace him is not much good if he can't get out on the park regularly.

                    Perhaps, but the point still stands. The club will never release Ball and Doyle in the same year.

                    Doyle's safe until a) a proven, established ruckman is available in the draft (yeah, right) or b) Erickson develops more quickly than expected and Shaw proves good enough to become our apprentice ruckman.

                      We can trade him to an unsuspecting team. It's worked before (Mooney!).

                        An AFL club cannot enter into a contract with a player for ?match payments only?. The Collective Bargaining Agreement between the AFL, clubs and players provides for minimum base pay and match payments. The minimum that can be paid to a player (other than a first year draft choice player, second year player or a rookie listed player) is currently $51,500 a season plus $2,200 per senior game.

                          if hes injury prone you would or if they can trade for another ruckman


                          but at this stage its not that long and i think he can come back for a good year, seems a shame if he was delisted after finally starting to develop into a good player
                          Theres not much left to say
