Voldemort to miss historic Giant's opener

Questionable source I know but the scans have revealed he suffered a slight depressed fracture of his cheekbone.

Also unconfirmed reports that the scans revealed the cheekbone is made of 14 karat gold.

Confirmed...

Without Folau for their debut in next Saturday's stand alone AFL season-opener against Sydney, it looms as a public relations nightmare for the Giants.

As distinct from all of the other public relations nightmares experienced by them in their brief existence to date.

I can't see the matter proceeding beyond a MRP ruling that the level of force applied in each case was not considered sufficient to justify a sanction.

This thread has turned into that to which it was once so aggressively against.

what, you mean all the B$ ? B)

Are we just plain unlucky, that at the start of every season we have many players injured and unavailable and for long periods of time? Yes I know other clubs have injuries as well, but we seem to have a large number of long term injuries, before game 1 every year. The Hawks I think have only Bailey out.

The Hawks have Bailey out.

What do you know? So do we!

Israel Folau (GWS Giants) has been cleared of both rough conduct charges. Neither incident had the force required to justify a report.

Now there is a surprise!

Wouldn't mind seeing the incidents. They might show them on AFL 360 or Footy Classified.

Saw them and MRP correct.

Righto then I would enjoy to share the lunch at Wongs Cafe (404 Glenhuntly Rd Elsternwick) for the controversial Banana Banquet lunch with any fellow Demonlanders before we play the Doggies at the G before round 4..Sunday, April 22nd.....game starts at 4.40pm.

I will be taking full advantage of the low corkage surcharge. They also have dishes without bananas.

If there is some interest let me know, if too many show up unannounced Steven may get rattled...but I doubt it

Umm as it's Jimmy's tribute before the game i will reschedule the BBL at Wongs, will consult the fixture and find another date

I will be away for the round 4 game and am hopeful that the tribute will be shown on Fox so that I can tape it.

I am sure the club will put together a DVD of it Redders

Hope it also includes film of a win against the Dogs.

Getting back to footy weather.

Is it just me or are others feeling it too, but the AFL is really getting me offside. I just want to see football and all I am seeing is them stuffing up.

GWS Giants playing Sydney Swans in the reserves curtain raiser ATM.

Swans have their necks in front 96-7.

GWS shouldn't be taken lightly and need to be shut down, to stop the free flowing game style. If not, they will hurt you when they gain experience. They have very skilled, quick players, but obviously without the strength and experience. You need to play them on your terms not theirs. They also have a good smart coach in Choco.

I thought the coach's name was "Kevin"?

You thought wrong.

_{Really enjoying Thommo on Footy Classifed.}

I taped all of the Stynes tribute games plus the funeral service today and I have probably got 15 hours to watch, in addition to On the Couch and my daily AFL 360 plus this weeks game against the Lions. I will have square eyes when I finish.

What did he say?

What did he say?

Smashing Andrew Demetriou for starters.

Getting stuck into Caro for being the AFL mouthpiece for another.

I hesitate to post this but I have Briefed running soon at Sandown at 4.40. If he can get a clear run at them in the straight from not too far back he should be in the finish.
