Our small fwds need to absolutely fire for us to be any chance.
Im a fan of Doc playing in the midfield but thinking about it more, he is a vital cog in our defence hence needs to stay there for mine ATM.
Got to win the game, saving games isn't our strong suit.Doc to play in the midfield, maybe on a wing. Let's attack and be bold...

10 weeks seems extreme. This isn’t a boy who was injured in the U/11s. He’s a professional footballer who will be provided with the best medical and rehabilitation services. A few screws and painkilling injections will reduce the rehab time dramatically. That doesn’t mean I would condemn him if he chose to recover more slowly for the best result in the long term. But you look at Daniel Chick having a finger amputated so he could return to the field quickly and it’s pretty obvious players will try to accelerate their recovery as much as humanly possible.

I remember seeing a doctor about a badly-strained ankle I copped in a footy game. I asked him how many weeks I’d miss and he said in a huff that I should rest it for a year but no footy player ever listened to him and no doubt I’d be playing in a couple of weeks.

Is The Voice the same as Anti-Trans, can somebody Please Explain?

Watch the feet for a better perspective on what is going on in that Lydia Thorpe moment.

These semi-stage events, where a protestor does something they know will force the police to react only to throw themselves around to make things look more dramatic, are just click bait.

PS: Was Thorpe actually asserting that protesting on the grounds of Parliament House is not permitted?

Afghanistan is a bit far from the ocean for any warship Thry 🙂

“Mighty Mo” was re-commissioned twice over its 50 year career, the last time for the invasion of Iraq.  Its main guns and cruise missiles could strike targets well inside Iraq.

One of Mighty Mo’s achievements was providing the backdrop for Cher’s ‘Turn back time’ music video.  The sight of Cher’s naked, tattooed buttocks straddling one of the 16” guns upset many conservative Americans and excited many teenage boys 🙂


Yep I mis-remembered what we told on board and it was the gulf war.  (I swear I heard them say it saw active duty in the 90's and even support in the 2000's somewhere too).

A great accomplishment for a very old war ship irrsepective, and an impressive thing nonetheless.

If he is out for a couple of weeks they've probably kept the severity under wraps. It'll be interesting to see how he comes up.
Don't know if I should mention this as my source has been notoriously over reactionary but 10 weeks was what he'd heard.
Wouldn't normally say anything but he did make the call on the broken hand onfMonday. Hoping he's wrong again  :-\

Agree, especially with the young bloke Cowan back there... though, just to contradict myself, you'd think Saad, Newman and Weiters would give the lad instructions and encouragement.
