No probs, OD.? Just wasn't sure if you'd picked up some new-wave thinking in your overseas adventures

Sometimes the straight out number of frees stat can be deceptive. Teams don't necessarily have to have approximately the same number of frees for a game to be 'fair'. Teams shouldn't be awarded frees if the frees aren't there just to even up the count. We've all seen games where frees have been awarded to a team/player incorrectly. Umps shouldn't turn around and try to find frees to make up for it. It is the old saying 'two wrongs don't make a right'. The above isn't in reference to any particular game yesterday, rather it ismy opinion on the issue as a whole.

A bit of oversharing, Adzi.

Okay...I'm going to ask....what is physophical? Or do you mean philosophical?

I thought they made a big show a couple of seasons ago of saying they were going to fine players or award free kicks for staging. Whatever happened to that?

I tipped the Pies, but I really would like to see the Blues keep their winning margin. Something about the Pies' unwarranted arrogance just annoys me.

In any regard, if the kid can run, handball, and mark, draft him when he reaches that age.

Sounds like a pro surfer to me. In all seriousness, it is a name of Hawaiian origin, isn't it? Is White's wife from that area?

Did you know that they now have banana-flavoured Tic Tacs and M & Ms?

If you gents really want a walk on the wild side, I hear Mexico and Columbia are good places to go. Great coffee in Columbia and amazing cuisine in Mexico. Beware of overly friendly locals who want to offer you a lift somewhere or give you gifts to take home to remember your trip by. Come to think of it, the phrase 'walk on the wild side' perfectly describes our Uncle Bitter!

It could be a bizzaro world moment, however, and actually turn out to be one of the better matches of the round. Stranger things have happened. Like Dunn's mo from a couple of years ago.

C'mon, Angry Bee! You know you would rather see Richmond perish.

Sometimes, but I was pretty clear on your sentiment on this one.

Glad you are keeping a lid on it. ?

Another round is about to begin. Here's hoping there are a few surprises and upsets amongst the round's matches.

I prefer the term 'unique individual'.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.....me loves Bernie.

My intial thought when I read the title of the thread......No!

Hawthorn doesn't have ahome game there this year, unless I misread the fixture.

How many wives do you have OD?

So obviously you elected not to try any remedies recommended by Mr. Fence.

Mr. Leg, there was a horse racing today called Banana Stand. That wasn't your horse by any chance, was it?

I see what you mean.

Unfortunately, I know you are right.

Do I need to ask what the worst one was?
