Damien Yze, an inch or so taller, kicked 21 at CHF back up in Northern Victoria.

God almighty, shoot (sic) me now! Hey, JH is Andy Moir's nephew. Maybe that redresses the balance. Joel Smith could be an understudy for Lever as an intercepting third tall back. In the acid test of Charlie Cameron, he gets turned inside out. He deserts his man to go fourth up, tends to give away silly freekicks and 50's. Best to keep Hunt if that is the plan. Hunt with all his speed has only been successful as fourth tallest back, which is adequately covered by Rivers, Hibberd and the next rookie. His disposal has greatly improved but is not elite like many of the others. So if he wants to go, good luck to him and thanks for the third round pick.

Binman, " cultural safety and systemic racism " is a complex matter and many won't have the emotional buy-in to do the work to understand. Don't we need to identify and punish as many cases as possible such as alleged at Hawthorn? Admissions that Club X needs to be better and promises that they will do better, have failed. What is Plan B? A random thought There needs to be a list of Don'ts i.e. using culturally significant artefacts at Crows camps, interference in cultural connections and support networks.

Not at all. Many people such as me, still catch up for a beer on Fridays as when we were working, People travel up north for the fiftieth of one' of their former apprentices. Bullying is widespread and studiously ignored by managers.

Not a term with a good pedigree. It was mainly used by Trump to deny things which were true and shameful.

Sorry 1964_2, if I appear to be jumping down your throat without reading all that you have written but awareness and education by themselves have failed. The victims need to have their claims explicitly accepted as true, see a negative consequence for the perpetrators and redress/compensation for themselves. Football, ADF, my former Govt employer have been saying that they will change for decades but do not. I point out that the Collingwood report was called "Do Better" rather than "We Truly Were B*stards". The current Hawthorn Pres pointed out that discrimination exists in throughout Australian society but not that the behaviour of his club sickens him. PS don't think that I will bother with the GF after the revelations. Hold out for the Women's team.

MFC should get Wrecker to talk to the past indigenous players to find out. Best to take it on the chin.

It doesn't need to proved beyond a reasonable doubt like criminal cases. The AFL just needs to be confident. For damages claim, I understand that the criteria is the balance of probabilities despite what the judge on the Rebel Wilson case said. I am sure a lawyer will correct me if applicable.

This is the most disgusting story that I can recall hearing in the last twenty years; even much worse than injecting young men with unknown drugs If true, 4 year ban for the leaders and 1 years for those who turned a blind eye. Hawthorn should be told to stop their investigation immediately while the AFL and Worksafe immediately interview the vultures at the Hawks before they get their stories straight. The assailant in an assault case does not sit in on the police investigation. The conflict of interest is enormous. Nothing was done for Cyril Rioli excepted a mumbled very-guarded expression of regret without acceptance of significant fault.

Firstly let me declare my conflict of interest, I am a middle-aged to elderly white male of protestant English and Scottish heritage. You could glue some improbable side-whiskers on me and pass me off as a Victorian State Premier c. 1880. I also so replied to Greens Senator Lidia Thorpe when she emailed me earlier in the year and crowed about a Blacks-only senate ticket. I just don't have the same gut reaction as Stan Grant and others. I am entitled to have other interests. Without departing to far from the topic for a Football forum, suppose that I thought that the "Acknowledgement to Country" was illogical and/or the use of the term, First Nation, means offensively that I must always be a runner-up due to my racial origin. I would or do still keep quiet at the local sporting club because the community has made a decision to do that and if I carry on people would think that I was big-noting myself. I would be saying that my opinion like myself was more important than they were. Therefore the AFLW should not have committed that social faux pas or gaffe with respect to QE2.. Like La Thorpe, Stan Grant (us patience), Andrew Bolt (through the neck), Greens Councillors and PETA, they should not seek the buzz of "making a difference" i.e. forcing us to do something that we would not otherwise do. Just hit the gym and kick sand on our faces at the beach.

Was it in her own handwriting?

Loved seeing the non-AFL-listed players Munro and White fight and win the GF. The Melbourne boys have another incentive. I see that Southport went for a "Galloping Gasometer" motif. It took me back.

Grundy is playing a blinder as we speak (and type).

C'mon home, Braydon Preuss!!

IN: Bowey - would have been cooler and more precise under last quarter pressure. Dunstan - got a ton of ball in the last VFL game and acceptable disposal; better than earlier in the year. Mitch Brown - poor stats in the senior team earlier in the year but knows his trade. If always on the move near the goals, the opposing backs will knock the ball to ground bringing the smalls into play. JVR is taking his high marks 3rd or 4th up and is too small at the moment to cause general mayhem. LJ and Gawn were dropping marks, Weidemann-wise. OUT: Melksham - Too easy for the McCartin boys and poor disposal ANB , Rivers - gotta drop someone LUCKY SURVIVORS: LJ - needed to ruck while they refuse to run BBrown Hibberd - needed for Charlie Cameron Brayshaw/Petracca - rubbish disposal but can do better Pickett - did little but will have opportunities with the presence of MBrown bringing the ball pinging around. Otherwise we need a role that uses his strengths; possibly out on the wing where he can literally literally run rings around two opponents. Salem - down on metres gained but OK for first game back. Still tidy disposal.

..I will think that I am still dreaming. I am also avoiding watching "The Sixth Sense".

I am just gutted both teams couldn't be eliminated. It only requires a small cheap wifi camera on the top of each post pointing up with a wire directly over. When the ball hits the side of the post, it is good enough to see if the rotation of the ball is affected. I.e. simple and peanuts.

When Fritsch and Pickett kick four goals each, MFC wins due to an obvious causal link. I have formed the opinion that when I see on the TV that Spargo is regularly on the defensive 50, MFC wins. I use the word, Talisman, indicating magic or the lack of an obvious causal link. And I like the word itself. If I had a private secretary, I could get him to watch all this season's games, count the times that Spargo crossed the line. Cuthbert would then throw the data into a spreadsheet and look for a correlation. He would also check whether Spargo on the move meant his team-mates were on the move, also using the metres run from the data site. A working hypothesis would be that when Spargo puts in, all put in and we strangle the opposition. Moving along to separate question on whether Spargo or Melksham remains if TMac returns, my fictitious private secretary would again look up the metres run for S. and M. in the games where TMac also plays. With BBrown, TMac, Fritsch and a ruckman part-time up forward, the need is for mobility and pressure rather than another lead-up and mark forward.

And May to towel up Hawkins in the PF or GF; again. AA Selectors to see that they are very, very, silly people. On the odd occasion that the Cats are being thrashed, Hawkins gets a bit misty in the eyes; not what you want to see in your onfield leader..

For mine, Bowey stays in. His disposal efficiency is a bit better than Salem's last game; 82% to 72%. And his choice of target is elite. Best to see Salem in the VFL for a week or two. Spargo had a quiet game but is a talisman for the side. I reckon when you see Spargo on the defensive 50, you know the boys are pressuring and we will win. ANB was solid. Melksham was quiet but still has a role. He will probably get squeezed out if TMAC reappears but the 5-6 weeks dropped to 2-3 weeks overnight so I wouldn't hold my breath. So no changes.

2.9% in front of the turkeys

Late last year, Charlie got goal-side of Smith and away a few times for goals. I would much rather trust Hibberd than Smith or Hunt. Rayner is quick but not as tricky, i.e. Hunt or better Salem who the data on-line during the match says is much quicker than he looks; should bends the knees more just for appearances.

Let's recruit a Kafka just to trade to Essendon. We'll send him with a few late picks as steak knives.

We were very lucky to win.. Carlton applied more pressure and are a real chance against the Maggies next week. Carlton got little benefit from their height advantage at the back In the final quarter on the wing they had 3 against BBrown but no one was hanging back to run and punch Lever-style. Ditto, Melksham's mark in the last. All three flew at the front.
