[Sir Why You Little 35,148]

that kid second from the back looks happy to be there

So he should to!

that kid second from the back looks happy to be there

I'm guessing thats because the guy behing him is looking very happy(and close) to be there.

[Arrow 1,257]

I hope we get Connors

I drink and paretake in the odd line of recreation when the moment is right.

Live life to the max. These guys are now programmed robots.

Yes, but you're not an professional sportsman, at an elite level.

Some of these posts surprise me. I don't know that people are quite grasping just what it takes at this level, and in particular, what it takes in terms of work, training and preparation. One missed recovery session can be enough to (seriously) impact on how you run out a game. Or not.

I know a couple of pro and ex-pro sportsmen in other sports, and it's no different. It's a 24/24, 7/7 commitment, just to get that 1/2 percent extra that will make the difference.

Hey Bing, any chance of getting some of these types down to the MFC - lol

I know all that. But the media treats it like they have killed and maimed people. Its over the top.

These people are being paid lots and lots and LOTS of money... They agree to the terms. Thats it.

Breaka da rules..... they breaka da contract. capisce ?

[Carlos Danger 380]

Connors has shown he can certainly play at elite level but appears to let himself down off-field.

If he can get it together and produce a solid "incident free" VFL season, I'd be more than happy for him to land at the MFC.

As for right now? Not much interest.

So goodbye Liam Jurrah then??

Thats up to the club...they make the rules.

Connors was on his thrid strike... he new it...and paid....that was their rules...and those that he had agreed to..

Jurrah has more to worry about from a higher judiciary than the club.

Jurrah's fate will come from the judicial law, not the club. But he certainly went home with intent, so i don't like his chances personally.

People on here talk as if he will get off with a warning. Can't see it myself.

I will be amazed if the jurrah pulls on a match day jumper again.

Ive harboured similar thoughts.

I suppose we'll know in the not too distant future.

Strangely I dont think Connors career is necessarily over. ...Might depend how far hes prepared to travel..lol

Sooo ummm.... can we get the tattooed-neck bogan on the cheap?

Straight swap for an upstanding citizen in Matthew Bate.

Heard that before he pulled on his last match day jumper when he proved most in the media and many on here wrong. Let it play out and see what happens.

Sure. But he went up there for a reason, and its not hard to work out what for.

[rjay 24,099]

No it's not hard to work out, he went up there because his partners sister had died. Let's not write anything more into it, the year has been hard enough as it is.

[sue 8,492]

Sure. But he went up there for a reason, and its not hard to work out what for.

And it's not hard to work it out wrongly. Who knows? Hadn't his sister-in-law just died? Foolish to guess. Cultural knowledge and evidence required, both for what happened and motivation if it did.

Premature adjudication problem?

[old dee 23,111]

WYL you are barking up the wrong tree if you are suggesting there was any premeditation or that he was looking for trouble by going there

FCS he had been 'home' many times before AFTER the 'troubles' had started. This was just another trip home and because his sister in law died

What happened then we don't know the details

He told the club he was innocent of the charges

We'll just have to wait for the trial and even then I doubt we will know all the 'truth'

I agree with you DC

But I am cynical enough to say he would say that would he not.

I have a bad feeling about this whole episode.

It would complete a perfect 2012 if it goes the wrong way.

[Biffen 12,450]

I predict he will be back when the beard gets a bit longer .

yes, that would be a perfect storm wouldn't it?

a funeral, as I remember it being said at the time. you know better than that do you?

none of us has any idea what went on. the court will make a serious effort to establish that. why have any of us the presumption to anticipate (in our near-total ignorance) what the court will find? what motive can we possibly have for speculating along these lines, given that he is one of our favourite players?
