Gablett... the better
Who cares. I don't come here for cattery chit chat, off with this threads head.

Injury List - Season 2019
I get your point and don't argue with any of it, however I asked for examples from 2019. Not the last 5 years.

Injury List - Season 2019
The Joel Smith fiasco is obviously a poor one and the optics are shocking. But who are the other examples that you are referring to (where you can positively confirm that a player was hurt during play, pulled off the ground and assessed, put back on the park and made the injury worse) in 2019? Maybe I haven't been paying close enough attention. Or maybe a few here are speculating a little too much.

Is that your medical opinion, picket?

Goody Presser (14/5)
Like that he is positive, but for some reason it annoys me how he refuses to simply acknowledge our mitigating circumstances at times though

The obvious bias that we see in cases like this will remain a factor whilst humans are running the MRP. When machine learning (AI) eventually takes over and uses algorithms we will see consistency. Never trust a human to do a computers job. While we’re at it, a 3rd party medical officer at each game to confirm diagnosis would be handy as well.

POSTGAME: Rd 08 vs Gold Coast
We are pretty embarrassing tbh. I haven’t seen a worse game of footy in recent memory

Jordan Lewis is absolutely cooked, never pick him again
If you look at the numbers, we are far more likely to win a game of footy than not with him on the park (even if his individual output is woeful). Until that changes, I see no reason to not select Lewis in our 22. The data is there, and we rarely win games when he isn't on the park.

PREGAME: Rd 08 vs Gold Coast
This is a far fetched scenario. I'm quite certain the medico's have cleared him, and Goody is simply saying that even though he has been cleared, that the decision ultimately rests with Jack. Nothing else to see here.

PREGAME: Rd 08 vs Gold Coast
I'm sure he is capable of learning from his mistakes. Just cause he brought himself back underdone last time doesn't mean it will certainly happen again. In the end, it is him who knows his body best, and you could even say that the last incident has made him even more acutely aware of his body, injuries and recovery timelines. It's still a strange comment though. I think it's probably being taken a face value a bit too much and I doubt the medicos have no say in it. Maybe the medico's have given him the all clear and it's Jack who is wondering whether he is ready or not?

Why the f... are we still talking about this. Seriously.

Shaun Smith not happy with Joel's medical treatment.
This part may difficult, given the MFC does not hold public office. Begs the question though, what would be our brand of politics? I can imagine a lot of contested work around the house of reps, although our execution in the writing of bills would obviously be to a poor standard.

Don’t get me wrong, we’ve clashed plenty of times before - But I enjoy your commentary mostly. But saying people get narky and personal is a low bow for the king of inferring people are morons or words to that effect. Troll on PD.

Unaustralian, I know. Pretty sure I saw Tom Morris skulking around in the paddock near one of my thoroughbreds with a camera too. Roo’s will probably say my heart just isn’t it in on the next Episode of 360. Long week ahead for me.

I took a sick day from work today and had a glass of wine with lunch. Go ahead, roast me demonland.

Steven May - drinking session
People are actually outraged that he had a couple of sunday pints? You should be deported. Next headline: "Steve May to front the playing group over an incident over the weekend in which in engaged in sexual intercourse outside of the missionary position. Reports also seem to suggest he went two weeks without calling his mum. More to follow."

Crowd incident - Hawks Dees
It's not necessarily the result of the punch or slap in itself. A powerful slap can easily knock someone to the ground, and the damage in these cases is often caused by the impact of the head hitting the ground, and not the strike itself.

Crowd incident - Hawks Dees
Either way, your post is quite confusing. You've said he has a reasonable defence for the charges, but also stated he won't be charged at all. Provocation is a partial defence that will be considered by the courts with respect to sentencing, not by the police in determining whether a criminal offence has occurred.
