hear you tone, blzb...

we all should start to expect more from our players,  rather than playing out fantasy videos of them across the bedroom wall,  showing how they could play,  rather than how the ARE playing?.

FMD ..luded!! How can you live without fantasy videos across the bedroom wall? I mean ... doesn't everybody ..?

Give me a massive a spell. We deride this generation for sitting the bum and playing video games.

I don't follow this logic.  How does advocating kids to not sit around and play video games translate to agreeing with a professional athlete putting his recovery in unnecessary harms way ?

If one challenged every non sequitur argument on Demonland there'd be little time to sleep.  

It's Stu's stock in trade.

You joke but he has both a responsibility to his contract to say nothing of to himself for his career

He fcuked up. It was dumb and exhibits his naïveté early in his senior career.

I'm not wanting to crucify him.... Just teach him.

No wonder his first name is Christian. As Pontius Pilate once said:

"You joke but he has both a responsibility to his contract to say nothing of to himself for his career

He fcuked up. It was dumb and exhibits his naïveté early in his senior career.

I'm not wanting to crucify him.... Just teach him."

Absolute monty for the Rising Star award, too.

don't bother

I've already pointed out in this thread that

Jones has played 201 out of a possible 206 games since he debuted and

Petracca has played 0 out of a possible 22

Actually Petracca has played 0 out of 0 since he has debuted.

seriously... why would you bother posting that? I didn't even say 'debuted' and if I did who gives a F, it doesn't change the point in the slightest way

is that your idea of a contribution? just some ridiculous expression of purely pointless pedantry?

any thoughts on players' behaviour in the off-season with regard to injury risk? You know, footy talk?

this place just continues to go downhill

I guess I was just saying that injuries can happen to the most professional of athletes.

correct - which is why you are selective in your non football related pastimes.

If Petracca stubbed his toe walking down the straight then so be it. 

But in these professional times when fitness staff dictate what you eat, how much sleep you need to get and how much time can be spent at training on goal kicking practice due to load on the leg muscles I am certain they would like to have a similar say on any activity like playing basketball - whatever form it takes.

yes, well its said kerry saxby got  'crows-feet'  from playing a round,  in-between her training sessions.

 

I got a back hander from my girlfriend for playing around - is that the same thing ?

About 60 per cent of AFL players have a hit of golf quite regularly. Do we outlaw that?

Do we stop them from having a swim in the beach or jumping off a pier?

And as suggested above, do we stop them from leading a normal life?

Get over it, accidents happen!

He'll still be right for Round 1 and he will make his debut then.

All games missed so far were a result of an injury at training. He'll miss no games from this, has given us fans better odds for him winning the rising star, and the opportunity for some to construct another self righteous mountain out of a mole hill...

whats the problem?! ?

Just a bit of humour, C&B. No need to take everything so seriously...you'll give yourself an aneurysm.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
