If you were a listed player on the verge of being selected, and find out a player who has been out of the club for quite some time (yes, understand it is for mental health reasons...) gets a spot without being around...that would p1ss you off greatly.

Missed about 4 weeks after been given time off by the club and was still doing a fitness program at home. With Gleeson copping a long term injury last week and a few other niggles we are a bit light on for that role. No guarantee he will play this week but he is definitely in the mix

Carn, dubs. This isn't suburban football where blokes are texting the coach on tuesday night saying they can't make training as they are "working", yet still get picked in the 1's come Saturday.

Francis has had some time off to deal with some personal issues, but would have been given a program to follow whilst away, and wouldn't be considered for selection if he has not met the physical requirements.

Yep, have been saying for weeks he shouldn’t be playing. has hardly been training for months. Club is playing funny buggers though as a few weeks ago it’s was “knee soreness”

All clubs are doing it now, playing games with injury lists.

It's not fooling any of the opposition clubs who are scouting you and it's disrespectful to your paid up members. Stop bullshitting us!

What’s the issue with Dean Wallis?

It’s obvious with Bomber and Hird but I haven’t heard anything about Wallis.

He was an assistant at the time of the doping saga and was later implicated in it. Club sacked him and since that time there has been blackmail attempts by him amongst other things.

13 at the premiership reunion last night. What does the club stand for? Is there any point going on if past premiership players dont even want to be at the club. Give them to Tassie

Various reasons for players not attending GF reunions, hopefully the club and players can one day sort out their differences.
We would be almost the last club to be relocated, rabble on field but off field we are still close to the most financially stable club in the land.
Besides we don’t want to eat into your Tassie heartland, you guys and North can keep it :)
