How? With only one suitor he was worth what they were prepared to pay. If they waited a year he would have been worth nothing.

Not really, my guess is that responding to me has cost two clients 22 minutes and 47 minutes respectively, (based loosely on ability to pay). Getting them to fund a suit against me may be beyond even your remarkable skills, heaven forbid funding it yourself!

No wonder the service was bad! Bet the non lawyer made the booking & arrived first.

I prefer the old dressing gowns. A seriously good captain and coach.

I wish.

Spleen vented, pity the poor soul that has to pass on my comments.

Funnily it almost makes more sense that way.

Funny how the forward line worked better last year when Hogan wasn't playing, how do you account for that? Hogan also has not proven to be a good player in a successful team, in fact he is at his worst in big games. I have said many times that I believe that Hogan has huge potential, but sadly I don't think he will ever reach it. I happen to think that Hogan was gone and there was little we could do to keep him. I think getting May from losing Hogan was the best that we could do. I also think May is a leader, he appears to provide a leadership that we have not had for years and it would appear that Nathan Jones also thinks he provides leadership. Most of what you say is opinion with little or no factual back up, you make gross assumptions based on your biases and I happen to disagree with much of what you say, at the end of the day we disagree who cares.

Because Hogan has proven to be such a great player for Fremantle? Note: Hogan and Jayden Hunt this year both have 1 goal 1 point per game average. Hunt has played more games had more tackles, more inside 50's, better disposal efficiency, more metres gained and more intercepts than Hogan, and many people think Hunt should be dropped. What about Hogan compared to May? May has less games and averages more disposals, more tackles, better disposal efficiency, more 1%ers, more metres gained and more intercepts. May is a better leader (not hard) Hogan has potential to be a very good player, May is a very good player.

Ed Langdon for last years second round pick, get it done!

You do not know the team rules. So if you don't know the team rules how could you know the difference between braking them and an error in all circumstances? You cannot. I have made no claim to knowing team rules, but I can spot an error. Like a missed kick, dropped mark, poor handball these are errors and we all make them. Is punching the ball in a marking contest into the corridor against team rules in defence? Possibly. If you stuff it up that's an error, if you keep doing it probably not.

This reminds me of Nazi Germany and Hitler . Thank you Mr Godwin.

Happy to agree that you don't know the team rules, and that you don't know the difference between making an error and breaking team rules.

Thought it easier to put my answers in red in your post.

You appear to be confusing errors and breaking team rules. All players make errors, some more than others. I don't think berating a player for an error is ok. But breaking team rules is different, and what if May had a quiet word with Frost earlier and he went and broke the same team rule again? I am not talking about a skill error I'm talking about breaking team rules.I think May is doing his job to remind a player if they have broken team rules. Frost didn't want to hear it and May let him know.

Sorry BBO but you have too much class, integrity and dress sense to be a journalist.

I think he probably is.

There is no doubt that the game is difficult to umpire. I was watching the tennis and I thought that with two players they have eight on court officials & six ball persons, if we extrapolate that to the AFL just for laughs that would be 144 officials and 108 ball people, what could go wrong?

Not the helmet argument again. Helmets can reduce the acceleration rate of the brain at impact. There is no research that says helmets do not reduce the rate of brain injury. There is plenty of research that says helmet do not prevent brain injury. I think a reduction of brain injury is worth wearing a helmet in susceptible people. I repeat, I know helmets do not prevent brain injury any reduction is good.

You were ridiculed for being wrong.

No problem, but players are not picked solely on form. I like Omac and think he will be back. Some selections have me wondering. Preuss should have been playing, I don't care if he only plays 50 min a match, that helps Max and the 2 goals a game is better than Tom has been doing. I am delighted that Tom Mac started to show some form and the Preuss boat may have sailed for the time being, but some selections this year have had be bewildered.

I think it is a very good idea to be comparing players, we can compare similarities and dissimilarities. One can compare apples and oranges. I do not remember Schwartz playing in defence, I remember Neitz playing in defence. Schwartz did kick more that a goal a game in his first 2 seasons so very surprised that he spent much time in defence. Wikipedia says " He played centre half-forward or full-forward " and I can find no record of him playing in defence.
