Yep I do. Everyone is different,. If you are a 45kg female you will have a totally different absorption rate to 100kg male. Nothing is ever black and white. They can't even agree on what the limit should be, When it was first brought in the ads claimed 5 standard drinks in the first hour and one every hour after that kept you under the limit. Now its two stubbies.

As for speeding I drive through a stretch of road where there are 8 changes of speed limit within 6kms. Its farcical. More people are probably killed because they are looking at their speedos and hot a pedestrian that is walking accross the road against the lights and listening to their ipod. Its particularly ridiculous given that the Australian standards for speedometers in cars sets a 10% margin for error.

We need rules and limits. I get that. But the [censored] revenue raising nazi-ism when it comes to this stuff and the ridiculous zealotry is just insane.

Speeding tickets = "nazi-ism"?

[censored]. Some people really work hard to find ways to be victims, eh.

Thought I read today there is no grounds for a contract renegotiation? It would be up him to amend it. I wouldn't..

if you have a good enough lawyer there is always grounds. otherwise there would be no legal system

The contract renegotiation relates to the money Carlisle was due to receive from the additional services ie marketing cap. Fair to say Carlisle's marketing value to the Saints is nil.

I don't know if he was ever that marketable, I mean, he still has a WADA case hanging over his head. At the end of the day St Kilda need a KP back man, and at his best, Carlisle is a very good player. This latest saga will blow over fairly quickly, it will be forgotten about once Carlisle plays a couple of good games. In the meantime, I think St Kilda will ask for random urine - or possibly even blood - tests throughout the year. Then if Carlisle fails them he'll pay through his pocket.

In the best Saints tradition,the kid has white line fever,though he learnt the craft under Hirdy.

Thanks for the insult.

So you think being a bit over the limit is no big deal? Where do you draw the line on drink driving 0.08, 0.09 or perhaps 0.10?

How on earth could you argue the bit from my post is tripe? Are you honestly saying that someone who is 0.06 is not impaired, not affected by alcohol? Is that what you're saying?

With your speeding analogy you're also implying that you don't really deserve a penalty for being just a little bit over? You really believe that?

Note i didn't say drunk, i said impaired. The difference between life and death in some accidents might be literally a split second reaction time. Any impairment might impact on that reaction time. That's why we have a limit. It is a serious offence to go over, far more serious and much more likely to be a factor in an innocent person being hurt than some bozo taking a line of coke in Vegas.

Well if your impaired when .05 why do you lose only 10 points if your under .07 and your over 25

You must be a cop or some other revenue dependent state worker.

Europe and the states survive on the roads with a .08 limit and a higher population on the roads.

Keep doing as you are told.

The state has you under control.

or you are drunk off two pots.

Western Australia if you under .09 they won't even bother with the paperwork.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
