His dad was one of my favourites. I loved that he took the effort to weigh everything that he ate. Sure he will make us proud too!

As a youngster in the 70's, I stood in front of the grandstand and women who looked my mum would use language that even me and my mates would think too filthy and strong. I went home dazed and confused. And I was there for the goal.

Not to mention David Cordner and Weidemann last year.

Instruct him not to kick around the corner. Instruct him to line up the leg, ball and boot straight at the target. JMac kicked like a backman until went forward and lined it all up. The guys approach the goals like a dancer with an empty garter. So this applies to them all. If he does not do that drop him until he agrees. Take the drop-off of hardball gets on the chin. If he has been instructed to do so but is not doing so, we are screwed and there is always next year. We know how that works.

Gee they need to bring back runners. Lyon looked like he was going to pass out. On one hand, you could abuse it by using a "whippet". On the other, there is chance of three taking off with comic mix-ups.

It comforts me to draw out these points from the discussion above. The air-time and general promotional opportunities would be taken up by other products albeit for perhaps lesser revenue, mitigating the shortfall. As many posters have pointed out, tobacco and alcohol promtion were previously banned. One could still smoke and drink but smoking at least tapered off. Hopefully, gambling would similarly decrease or at least people would not be cajoled into starting. They could if they wanted but would not be cajoled by ads.

I seem to recall that free-agency came about so that the courts would not see the AFL rules as an undue restraint of trade.

He is too light. We need a strong body to block for BBrown and draw a second- defender-up to free up one of our forwards.

If May pulled another hammy , big Oscar would be a fixture.

I was going with half of the 46% quoted here - https://aifs.gov.au/research/research-snapshots/gambling-participation-and-experience-harm-australia#:~:text=Survey findings show that around,some risk of gambling harm. And my recollection of a report (possibly even from Crown itself) that twenty-something percent of their clientele had a problem. What figure you got? However, what is the acceptable wastage level for human lives, 10%, 5%? Including of course the suffering relatives and friends.

Alternately I believe that ex-players have conflicts of interests that outweigh the "street-cred". They feel a need to let players injure each other in a manly fashion as in the olden days. The ability to use their judgement or discretion makes them feel empowered and needed but randomises the results The AFL approach is unprofessional (I was worried the swear-filter would pick that up LOL). If you want a consistent outcome, you first have very very detailed rules. We already vision from multiple angles. Then it is very easy to tick the boxes and spit out a result. Engineers and tradesmen have been doing this for years.

That's inflation for you.

Nah, the AFL wimped out and ran that line to hide our and the games disgrace. The newspapers reported (and did not get sued) that senior officials explicitly berated the players for being ahead.

Winners are grinners, mate. Fed my family in Aussie for 170 years.

Back in the 80's out at Waverley, a lubricated Melbourne supporter explained to me that an MFC player died as a result as in injury in the 1958 GF and he placed a deathbed curse on them. Whereas at my daughter's Primary School, the wisdom was that Collingwood had to dig up a Magpie that had been buried between the goals in order to win the 1990 GF after 32 years. Just making small talk.
