Unfortunately not Jay, for some ridiculous reason it's only available through iPad and iPhone. I think its a licensing thing. Foxtel know that people will just get the live pass and hook their pc up to the tv... Which is what I'd love to do today, but it's the iPad for me.

Harder for them to play their slick coast to coast footy when we're pressing up and belting them before they even get out of their defensive 50! Big games needed by Kent, Harmes, Jeffy and Kennedy!!

Dubious connection... But I love it!

Ah sweet irony.

Gee whiz pal you're really tempting me to derail this thread which I never thought I'd do.. You're talking absolute garbage

People were saying he played and used it well, but he only had it 16 times. I'd like to see him get it a bit more, so it doesn't surprise me so much that they're giving him another week

Wrapped about Harmes, absolutely deserves it!

Without any notable key forwards we have the luxury of giving Dunn another week

My o my what a dreadful post.

It'll be interesting to see what the forward line looks like!

" The equation is simple. Take another step forward and Hogan, and others for that matter, want to remain at the club. Regress, and a football club, no matter which, leaves itself vulnerable." Spot on. http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/jesse-hogan-contract-why-young-key-forward-shouldnt-sign-a-new-contract-with-melbourne/news-story/3d98eee926ab09fb2cdca6f337dad062

Jones replaces one of the Vineys, Vince goes on the wing instead of Grimes who drops down to the bench for Wagner.. Serious quality across each line, particularly through the middle.

For the past month or so I've been drifting over to the rd 1 thread to peruse some teams, often thought of having a shot myself, but just wasn't being inspired... That team is really interesting.

Amazing how quick people jump on the club after a single game. I thought he was pretty ordinary. Made a couple of reasonable tackles, but he didn't have to work hard to get to them. Couldn't find space, beaten in the ruck and missed his kicks.

An article about the Dees has a Coleman Medalist pole at the bottom without including Jesse Hogan...? I guess that explains the 34% who voted 'Other'.

It's clear you're more read up on the topic than I, so I won't venture too far here. I recall that article you're referring to and I rejected it at the time. As I mentioned in my initial post, I have often wondered if my aversion to her writing is based in an inherent sexism. Not that I'm sexist, but rather a product of the society we live in. However I choose to believe that's not the case. It's easier for her to make that claim. She can rail and rail about sexism under the guise of challenging societies perceptions but when someone calls her up on being a bit militant or aggressive she can hide behind her initial assertion. I agree there is a problem in society, however the best way to address it in my opinion is to bring people along with her rather than make them uncomfortable. When it's the latter, people will revolt, call her a 'feminazi' and never read her again. Eventually all she'll have left are those already converted, thereby rendering her efforts redundant.

I don't dispute the fact she can write, she definitely can. But I just find her too angry, and it drowns out her message. If she wants to make a difference, she should make her writing accessible by all, not just her disciples.

I have to say, Clementine does not do it for me. I've often wondered if my dislike of her writing is my own subconscious chauvinism coming through, however I'd like to think it isn't. Her whole world is colored by sexism, she sees it everywhere. So much so that she is incapable of providing commentary on anything without her writing being drenched in spite. She is using this family tragedy to make a point which not only do I not agree with, but also feel didn't need to be made. It's tragic all over. To him, to her, to the kids, to their whole circle of friends. That's the point.

By Darren Cartwright, National Entertainment Writer BRISBANE, Feb 16 AAP - Craig Kelly, who manages both Garry Lyon and Billy Brownless, says the fall-out between The AFL Footy Show personalities has deeply affected their families. Kelly has confirmed that Lyon did start a relationship with Brownless' ex-wife Nicky, but only after she had separated from the former Geelong star. Lyon has stepped down from his media duties as he battles depression. Brownless has been tight-lipped since news broke over the weekend.

Did Trengove participate in the match simulation?

Didn't realise it was such an issue for him. http://www.smh.com.au/afl/afl-news/former-afl-player-sam-blease-speaks-about-concussion-will-donate-his-brain-for-research-20160215-gmu73n.html Retired footballer Sam Blease has spoken about his struggles with mental and physical illness after suffering two severe concussions while playing. Blease, who is just 24, told SEN radio that he had memory problems and had suffered migraines while training. "I copped two pretty heavy concussions last year in isolation and after the first one I missed four weeks in the pre-season," he said on Monday morning. "Then three or four months later I just got a stray elbow in the VFL, came back and played but the symptoms from there were pretty severe. I had a bit of depression for probably a month and a half." Blease said he also has headaches after running, and has been keeping in touch with a neurologist, as well as a friend who is a brain surgeon. But despite the problems he has faced, Blease said he would not advise against playing football. "I love footy, I've grown up with it, it's given me opportunities in life," he said. "I would never say to anyone do not play football because you can get a concussion." The former Geelong and Melbourne player says he will donate his brain for medical research after he was approached by former WWE wrestler Chris Nowinski, who co-founded and is executive director of the Concussion Legacy Foundation. "I was taken aback a bit," Blease said of his initial response to the request. "I've got a few years left, hopefully." Blease is seeking compensation from the AFL over his head injuries, but he wouldn't go into detail over the issue. "That's in a process at the moment and the lawyers are working through that – I'm not in a position to comment on that," he said.

He was one of my heroes growing up Poita, to see the disgraceful commentary on the other thread made me genuinely upset. We know nothing of what he is going through. I wish him all the best and hope he can find some happiness.

Yikes Dr Evil, your name don't lie! Fresh on the boards with a couple of pretty critical posts... you're gonna find it tough going in these parts with that kind of banter.

Wise and C & B, nothing that Saty said was wrong, controversial, inflammatory, opinionated or anything other than solid contribution. Youve both gone out of your way to create an argument. Sort yourselves out, it's garbage and doesn't add to the conversation.

Of course they give them top up players, how else could they field a team? Jordie Mckenzie's career might not be over after all...
