In Harmes Way

I watched the VFL game vs Kangaroos and thought Weid's goal kicking technique was beautiful to watch.

Well deserved recognition.

Happy Mother’s Day to all Demonland mums. Nice to mull over a win while the kids make you breakfast

No 1 vs No 2 pressure teams and the game played like that. There were times I thought we were playing us. I was sitting next to a Swans supporter on the train on the way home who singled out Umpire 7 for a trip to the Albury Wodonga league next week. Thought he stiffed us both. I thought our centre clearances after qtr time was awful. Did well across half back to repel all number of attacks. Tom Mac, take a bow. That pack mark in the 4th was awesome. BBB did some really nice things and shut up his detractors from last week. Nervous for Trac, he didn't look great after the clash at the end. Very proppy. Great win against a good side. Not good for the nerves.

If the ground is as greasy as the aisles here, I’m not surprised the kicking efficiency is down. Few slipping as well.

I’m an Arsenal fan and won’t be singing you’ll never walk alone as it’s Liverpool’s song We’ve already got one that I sing at the end of the game (never at the start, it’s an omen)

Hopefully we took a good look at how they dismantled the Tigers at the G and have a plan for it

The pressure would really be ratcheting up on the Tigers if it wasn’t for 1 good quarter against the Dogs

Congrats to Rick Lever on ? games and lay off Harmesy (although I’d have gone Sparrow)

I don’t glorify him. I reckon he’s just a plain thug

Completely agree. She certainly sounded connected to the playing group. Over and above the clarity she provided on board due diligence on signing off on contracts and salary cap management, which was great; I loved the bit where she got round a young player with a knee injury (I'd say Neita earlier this year?) and suggested he have a chat with Trac, only to be told that Trac had already made contact with him. Shows care within the club from board -> player, not just players looking out for each other.

Thanks to Demonland I haven't suffered alone either.

The only thing that would make this AA22 even better would be to have no pies players and all of Treloar, Stephenson and Phillips in the team

I'm told it's actually a rash that you can get a cream for....

I reckon he's planting an "I told you so" peg in the sand. I'm sure Trac over the course of 7 years will have a dip in form, at which point he can come out and say "See....."

I'm sure there's a Sydney Paddy McCartin and Kayo = KO joke in there somewhere....

You can't have watched too many games last year that closely. They had their logo on the ball.

With respect to an AFL appeal of the decision, according to the rules, the AFL can only appeal per below: AN APPEAL OF A DECISION OF THE TRIBUNAL A Player or the AFL General Counsel may appeal the decision of the Tribunal to the Appeal Board on one or more of the following grounds: » An error of law has occurred; » The decision of the Tribunal is so unreasonable that no Tribunal acting reasonably could have come to that decision having regard to the evidence before it; » The classification of the offence by the Tribunal was manifestly excessive or inadequate; or » The sanction imposed by the Tribunal was manifestly excessive or inadequate. Given the hearing was around whether the act was careless (as opposed to the impact), then any errors of law would have been addressed in the original hearing. And given the classification/sanctions were not manifestly inadequate (the grading was only careless to begin with), then the only grounds the AFL could appeal under is that no other Tribunal would come to the same conclusion. And given the Tribunal explained the grounds for their decision, it's reasonable to foresee another Tribunal reaching the same conclusion. Nothing to see here. Move on.

Calling @no plan b it seems you’re wrong. It’s Mitch Brown

Where the hell is @Wiseblood??? He's been the voice of reason and positivity around here for years when you'd have to grasp at straws -> should be at the front of the queue in enjoying all this.....

I'd send them a nice blue cheese next to one with a red rind.

If you look at Richo's summary of the two's on the MFC website, Sparrow was nominated BOG and Harmes first game back from an injury and not too bad.....therefore it's Sparrow in front of Harmes for Baker. I reckon they'll go Petty for Tomlinson, Sparrow for Baker. Jones got a game last week so he's back to the medical sub.

Nobody has raised the obvious outcome from this decision being that Frittata is still eligible for the Brownlow!

Let’s have a poll!

7 news reporting a 7 year deal guesstimating at $900K per year is expected “imminently” Mind you, it is Tom Browne
