Not great if they both say they’re off to Freo.

Artisan bench-top installer. Make of it what you will.

Thank you LH, I hope you’ve been well. Firstly, I never joke. Secondly, Mel returned to the open house with a granite bench top supplier who had a tape measure and quote booklet. The plot, as they say, thickens.

Mel and Steve watch: Mel and Steve have been spotted looking through an open house in Malvern. According to the anonymous source, Steve loved the double garage but Mel wasn’t keen on the copper bench tops in the kitchen (lemon is the key to cleaning them Mel). Make of this what you will.

Lobb is leaving Freo.

Pretty sure he’s going to stay after he gets this picture I drew him and also the 50 cent sealer I put in with it.

Can confirm his Gran has put an offer in on a house in Cranbourne East. Make of this what you will.

If it’s just a year or two contract, he may help us push for a three-peat in 2023.

Hearing whispers Walker‘s Grandma has been spotted shopping for real estate in Melbourne. What.This.Space

All those years ago. And was Josh Kennedy a gun then? If that’s the closest and most recent example, I suppose that goes to proving my point.

Do you have photographic evidence of this? I’ve never heard of one being spotted in the wild.

When was the last time a gun player was traded to a club for another gun player? Andrew Brayshaw extended his contract less than a year ago until the end of 2025, he isn’t going anywhere and I won’t be drawn into the hypothetical of “but what happens if he asks to go to Melbourne?” I will donate an eyeball to science if Andrew Brayshaw is involved in the trade of Luke Jackson (not that I think LJ is going anywhere. Your anxiety over the issue doesn’t mean he is leaving..)

Mel and Steve have purchased a mansion in Toorak and LJ has a new set of diamond grillz. Make of this what you will…

Any updates on this juicy goss LN?

Uncanny. I was just about to create a thread asking if Ben Brown was shrinking.

Can confirm I have plenty of information.

Concussion can be hidden and a player can continue to play. A dislocated shoulder or ACL can’t be hidden and the injured party can’t continue to play.

Not interested in joining the pile on - it’s all far too negative and to be honest, all quite inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. Try looking for positives in life instead of constantly looking for negatives, you’ll be much better off.

West Coast are struggling, they have very little talent coming through, do they want to put all their eggs into one basket like they did with Tim Kelly? I’m not a recruiter (I probably should be though) but paying overs for one player isn’t the answer when you have holes all through your list. At the moment, I don’t see the point on guessing what picks we’d ask for or what would be required to facilitate a deal. I doubt Jackson even knows what he’s going to do at this point.

That’s only because the AFL will end up silencing the supporters as well. Heil Gil.

These aren’t emotionally subjective though. At the present, the umpire decides if the player raised their arms in a demonstrable way. A player raising their arms has to be a free or not, it can’t come down to how the umpire “feels”. Totally different to the subjectivity of a cricket umpire calling an lbw…

If the umpire feels threatened by a player raising his arms, whether it’s appealing for a free, contesting a free or in confusion, it’s a free against that player. This is where the rule falls down, it comes down to how an umpire personally felt by the action. What other sport in the world has subjective rules?

Per sip?

Yes, understood. But you’re asking the umpire to officiate based off how they felt. Personally, I would never feel threatened by a player raising their arms and looking or walking towards me. It’s a subjective rule. It’s beyond me that people can’t comprehend this. I’m sure any instructional videos released by the AFL would just confuse the players and everyone even more. “This is a threatening arms raise” “this isn’t”. Seriously?

If a player raises their arms during play and advocates for a free, the umpires have been instructed to penalise via way of a free-kick against the player who has raised their arms. It doesn’t matter if they’re appealing a free or for a free. I’ve attempted to explain this as simply as possible, it’s an absurd rule.
