MP; on Saturday's game there is no way Ted will retire at the end of the season. It was bad luck he got a whack in the eye from a bloke who regularly does does sly acts in the name of "hard play". Ted plays deep back and expends as little energy as possible. Fletcher extended his career by doing exactly that. I would think he plays at least next season. Ted shows me no signs of his career waning and until he does I will back him in.

I would certainly agree that based on his form to date that Ted would be ready to go around again.
Whether he can remains to be seen, he started to get towelled up a bit last year and I'll reserve my judgement over the course of the year.
I'd hate to see him go a season too long.....Comment

Oh excuse me. He owes the club nothing. That was as bad an injury that any player could get. If he doesn't produce the goods then we will never know if the injury was the reason, but he would be excused for using it as an excuse. Frankly all Rohan has do is find the footy a lot more and with the side we have he may get that opportunity. By the way the 2014 debacle was a team thing.Comment

The way Tom Harley was speaking I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Rohan straight back into the firsts this week.
?He?s done a really good block of work now so we?re confident he will be able to contribute straight off the bat. We?ve still got match committee later in the week and Gary will certainly be discussed there.?Last edited by aardvark; 27 April 2016, 08:39 AM.Comment

We need to move on from 2014.
Rohan has been injury prone but there is no way we'd be keen to trade him. We're not exactly blessed with speed so after losing Jetta last year we'd be mad to trade our fastest player. He's a good mark, decent kick, and provides serious speed. We've been crying out for a bit more run and carry and Rohan provides that.Comment

Ted could play as the third tall next year as he is an excellent reader of the play, probably play seniors when there is a match up for him.
Think I'd like to see Rohan get a NEAFL game or two under his belt before returning to seniors. What role does he play, straight to the wing for some much needed outside speed and resting forward? If he does come in for Ted I think Laidler (if he plays) or Rampe could take a Brisbane KPF as they are not exactly imposing types at this stage.Comment

It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

Yep, can't wait to see him play.
I'm loving the yang of this season, after the yin of last season....

As I didn't post to the thread in time I can't lay claim to picking this inclusion. I will just say that playing Aliir this week made sense to me. I am guessing that his family still has connections in Brisbane so if they have to travel from the West they will be heading to a place they know. I stand to be corrected on this but it just seemed right.
While I feel for X I'm sure he will get another shot at some stage.
We seem to be having good news stories every round this year. I hope it continues.Comment
