Does that mean Walsh can't win the RS?

With a fine he can still win.

Williamson with back problems again....thats not good news..
Pity about Liam Jones,just just shows how hard those knocks are and what damage they do as he is a very fit unit and still needs the two weeks to get over it, in the old days players must have rocked up still concussed, how dangerous must have that been..

Apologies again if I rehash previous comments (haven't read them all) but same emotions again this week.....we just keep finding a way to lose! But with all of that, had to be pretty impressed with pretty much the whole effort bar that last 7 or 8 minutes. So many blokes put their hands up after dire games in recent weeks....Murphy/Marchbank to name a couple. But I'm still bemused at Plowman and how many mistakes he continues to make. And it's almost cover the eyes stuff when Dow gets the ball. He looks nervous and flustered and turns it over too much.

Agree with some earlier comments about Stocker. He's still pretty raw but IMH is a good size and looked pretty composed and Williamson's kicking is still better than most blokes in the team.

The forward line functioned well and Cunningham's kicking has improved heaps since his first couple of years and he is now a genuine small forward with good pace.

At the end of the day it was against last year's grand finalist and a team that most would rank as favourites to win it this year....and we lost in the last 5 minutes. Bring that sort of effort and the wins will eventually come. Yes, still heartbreaking and frustrating to be losing but that was a massive improvement on the week before.

But the fact remains...we're anchored to the bottom (again) and Adelaide would be licking their lips at the possibility of pick one in this year's draft.

WTF....so from our defenders, the following are potentially unavailable:

Jones
Simpson
Newman
Williamson
Plowman
Docherty

That's almost your starting 6 defenders apart from Weitering!

And this week up against GWS who will be filthy at losing last week.

If Williamson's back has gone again then they would be seriously concerned at his future? All the more reason to get the cheque book out and start looking at getting Tomlinson.

Newman is a good chance to play according to Rusty Russell. Plowman, Jones and Simmo at least 1 more week out. Williamson is quoted as missing the next couple, but that sounds suss to me.

... Ablett gets off, the average goals per game now at a 52 year low and a complete imbalance in umpiring adjudications.  Great game huh?

Couldn't agree more. Ablett and Fyfe getting off is ridiculous.

If Crippa gets a bit cranky at being tagged heavily this week and decides to jump into someone's head with his elbow he'll get off completely scott free will he?

Not in a million years.

I expect Williamson to be out for an extended period unfortunately.
Also unfortunate is I think Garlett will be back this week as a back flank. Can't think who else we'd bring in. Can't play Gov down back surely.
Could Kennedy come in?

You may mistaken this for a scene from 'Bruno', but this would have been the MO of the umpires in the Filth rooms post match:
