Is it true Toovey missed the game because he was helping pack up Gaults apartment?

Apparently Eddie said on MMM that Cox couldn't play because he met the VP, ie that there were players on the list that were eligible games wise but were not allowed to play for some reason. Anyone know anything more about that?

This has been canvassed before. He came up 1 VFL game short under the eligibility criteria. Whether you want to blame the meeting with VPOTUS, the week's rest he had after having a week's rest over the mid-season bye, the rushed promotion to face Richmond or the shoulder injury he suffered in that game that kept him out for the following week is entirely up to you.

1892_ and I debated and examined the various players eligible to play over in the VFL section.

Oh I see so his was that he hadn't played enough VFL games instead of too many.

*looks it up* Apparently you need to play 6. unless your AFL team is still in the finals.

Cox only played 5.
Marsh played 6.
Goldsack played 8. He was eligible.
Cloke played 7. but 1 too many AFL games

Marsh was eligible. They obviously decided to send him on holidays instead.

Yep. 6 games if you have played AFL after July 1st and no more than 12 in the AFL for the whole season.

i think cam is very eager to use his fountain pen to rules some lines through a few names whether they be players or officials.

i say he sticks to his day profession. someone needs to think of the children.

Watch out, JW, you'll be next...

I like Cox.

*blush*

As for Gault and Witts... mein patience has worn as thin as a disguise upon a mother in law's threats.

Big Howe is better than both of them as a footballer. Only as a tap ruckman is he behind Jagged Jarrad.

There are other sections?
