The NAB Challenge

What annoys me most about Clark is that Nathan Jones is still his friend

Ok

Yes, how dare they have lives outside of football.

Along with Jones, Clark was our best player. I am more annoyed that he kicked 6 goals for a dynasty.

While MFC continues to struggle.

I'd like to see our supporters get more vocal about the inequality of the competition - than whinge that our captain is still mates with another former leader at the club.


Not that they were a big deal in the first place but these NAB matches have been devalued substantially since they became a "challenge" rather than a cup and there's no prize for the winner.

Even then, Paul Roos was never really interested in the results of games (I think he won only one pre season competition match in all those years at the Swans). And yet, some people are treating these games seriously. I didn't see much vision of last night's game but in quite a few of the highlights Mitch Clark was running around unattended and, at other occasions, he appeared to have Kyle Cheney on him. When they get to the real stuff and Hawkins is playing at full forward and opposition coaches really concentrate on stopping him with a bit of real pressure, we'll see how he really goes then.

Meanwhile, this is how the selection of the squads for Melbourne's game tomorrow is being looked at in the media:-

Johann Wagner who won The Recruit, in line for first NAB Challenge game

Jack Viney and Jack Watts return for Melbourne in their practice match at Ballarat on Saturday against a weakened Western Bulldogs side that will be missing captain Robert Murphy, Luke Dahlhaus, Jack Macrae, Koby Stevens and Lachie Hunter.

Interesting stat about Roos pre season comp form at Sydney. Goes to show these games are nothing much to him and his support coaches beyond using them as a opportunity to trial and fine tune.

Mitch Clark is 13cm taller and 13kg heavier than Kyle Cheney.

 

The idea that Clark would sue this website is excessively silly

Since you're not the one who'd face any action or its consequences, what you think is silly isn't particularly relevant.

I'm still allowed to point out how silly it is though

Any grown adult who thinks it through for a few seconds would have to reach the same conclusion

Nobody said you weren't. And I'm still allowed to point out that your 'all care no responsibility' attitude won't wash with those who actually have responsibilities.

What's an ungrown adult, by the way?

What coruscating wit. I'm undone.

And the old 'my posts are bigger than your posts'. Haven't seen that sort of inadequacy for a while.

'Ladies and Gentlemen of the court - I submit to you that Mitchell Clark has had his character defamed'... just working on my opener for this landmark case :I

There's no need to try to press your advantage. I've already deferred to your superior ignorance. Perhaps you can just leave it at that and spare me further humiliation.

Do you know the differences, by the way, between defamation law in Victoria and, say, the ACT? Choosing the hypothetical venue for displaying your actual stupidity matters, I think.

That's OK, just go ahead and link me to the article where a rich/famous person in the public eye has sued a small non-professional discussion forum because of anonymous comments of its posters

I just want to see the precedent on which your concerns are justified

Tht is hardly the point... they may not sue as such, but they certainly could get the site closed down.

There's no point arguing with him 'Tack, he has no grasp of the difference between possibility and likelihood, and even less grasp of the concept of responsibility.

What makes you think a precedent is required for prudent action? Fortunately businesses, government departments, websites and so on aren't being run by fools like you.

Edit: And here, try this one - https://www.efa.org.au/Issues/Censor/defamation.html

It makes the point in passing, and contrary to your uninformed opinionation, that defamation action is largely the preserve of the rich and famous.


even joe hockey is taking defamation action :lol:

And he insists it's to protect his reputation. :rolleyes:

Sounds like you need to start your own blog where you can say whatever you like about anyone you want.

Call it curry and beer land and register it under your personal "real life" name. See how long you last..

Ouch! They certainly breed them tough out in Hopping Dicks Creek. Well done sir.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
