Fanatique Demon

Umpires: not the reason

Thanks for sharing this. Too bad our club didn’t show respect by wearing black armbands.

Thanks, Joeboy. Some order restored.

An even bigger mystery is how Demonstone finds the time to research/compile the quiz. Good work!

We were exposed when Essendon took the ball through the centre of the ground. Similar to how Adelaide beat us. Other teams will have noticed this and we need to rectify the problem before the GWS game.

I’ve not been well this last week. AND THIS ISN’T HELPING!

The muesli.

If we want someone on the bottom of the pack to force a ball-up, Nathan’s our man. But I think our game plan is a bit more sophisticated than that. Good luck to him, but he’s not best 23 unless we get a few injuries.

I find this strange.

Who isn’t?

This whole thing about the action versus the outcome will have to change eventually. Intent and action will become the most important part of the review. It’s not often I agree with Robbo, but he made the point on AFL 360 that DeGoey’s action on Oliver was far worse than Mackay’s on Clark. DeGoey had no interest in the ball and both players were lucky that Oliver jumped straight up and took his free kick. DeGoey got away with a one week suspension. Mackay broke Clark’s jaw in three places but at least he was going for the ball.

I’m in two minds, as I am sure the AFL is. At the time of the incident I thought it was fair enough and just unlucky that Clark was injured. Then I saw the incident on David King’s review (First Crack?). Mackay ran from the opposite direction at speed and must have known a collision was inevitable. He had time to change his actions. Now I’m no lawyer, but I have closely followed Better Call Saul. If both players had done exactly the same but Mackay was the injured party, would Clark be going to the tribunal? If the tribunal finds against Mackay, it will need to define specifically which aspect of his behaviour was the problem. And it must not be the same as Clark’s action.

Exceptional! Thanks, Deespic.

True. But he has two other big advantages, even if the ball isn’t delivered perfectly. First, he is so tall he often draws a free kick from arm interference or over the shoulder contact. Second, he can kick straight.

And if you have Oliver in the votes, watch it again.

So you hope that BBB DOES turn out to be the year’s biggest disappointment. OK, I suppose losing the Grand Final would be a bigger disappointment.

I have no idea what you mean. You agree with my comment that I hope BBB is the disappointment of the year? Or you’re unhappy that I made the comment? Seeking clarity please.

Let’s hope that BBB doesn’t turn out to be the year’s biggest disappointment. There’s still time to come good.

? I thought this WAS a google test. In 1997 when Search was the new big thing, we used to have those as a lunchtime game at work in Hong Kong. That was about the time my memory retired.

Gram Parsons (real name Ingram Cecil Connor III) was with The Byrds.

Happy to have participated but surprised by the lack of depth.

Terrible fumbles followed by a great, effortless kick from 50.

ABSOLUMENT!
