Three retreds...Biggs, Suckling and Koby Stevens...the latter was just a plodder at WC but is a polished footballer now and seems to be in the Bulldogs best each week...
Two sweet kicking players in Hunter and Suckling..was impressed with Hunter..Dal Santo type left footer, nice pickup for a father and son ..

I'm not sure whether it's been mentioned elsewhere but Murphy began feeling ill in the first half, before he copped that knock on the weekend.
He was throwing up at Half-Time

The guy next to me at the game pointed that out. As I said before, I suspect he may be rested this week.

Throwing up maybe a bout of gastro? Would be literally impossible to push through.

Dipper played after losing a lung!

Dermie played after being knocked to kingdom come.

Platten played after breaking ribs.

Hodge breaks bones in his arm and misses 2 weeks.

So our 'captain' had a virus and everyone wants to excuse him - what was wrong with him in round 2 and 3?  No wonder we haven't one a flag for 20 years while the Hawks have held the cup up 4 times in the same period!

Still alot different from playing if you're feeling weak and ill. In those other cases you're feeling very sore, but you're still strong, playing with alot of courage but not ill.

I agree, Murphy is a softy but gastro is not a pain thing, I don't think you can compare.
