Lobb had been fine though, but yeah, I know exactly.

And that's, I'm agreeing with you to some extent.

Clubs had been saying this privately, that there's a cumulative load to these things.

Whether we can say that still, I'm not, I don't profess to know, but the bottom line is he's not going to have him for another month.

And the Dogs had eight players with less than 15 games experience out there last night.

I think the timing of it will be huge as well.

And if it is going to be March, as has been forecast, then that is a lot better than the middle of February, particularly if we're going to be playing over in Perth.

But the gap between English and the replacement is just... It's got to be filled.

I know you were talking earlier.

straight for kieran briggs who is gettable comes for nothing he's an unrestricted free agent not to be your lead rock just to have a break glass and i know tim english has hardly missed any football so it's easy in hindsight but you've got to have someone there because emmett smith they're just rightly miles off it at the moment so and if it's not kieran briggs go and get darcy ford who's out of contract i mean the lines have added draper can you get him across i know van soldo's had his issues but another one out of contract don't need to trade for these guys well

So just to recap, we've had tribunal panel members driving during hearings.

We've had dogs barking.

We've had dogs walking into the room of King's councils.

We've had the appeals board last night uphold a Lance Collar guilty verdict, but then slash his suspension to the point that the St Kilda forwards actually got a lighter penalty for the second use of homophobic language than the first use.
