Interesting that Roly said in the Fox prematch interview on Before the Bounce that The Fist was playing for his spot. Dermie pressed him on it and he repeated that his was falling out of love with his Love Child. Unusual for Roly to single players out like that but he was being particularly open for a change. He also said Blakely would have been a cert to play had it not been for his injury and he intimated the Club rated him as high as any of the other draftees.
On the other issue, Bond has got to leave no stone unturned to get Hogan back to WA, even if we have to give Melbourne three midfielders plus Sylvia back. PS Dixon has yet to prove himself and Ive got huge doubts over how good he is, Ive got none over Hogan. And no way to Carlisle, he cant kick to save himself and that's the LAST thing we need, more poor disposers/poor shooters for goal. Elite disposers only.
