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.

I believe that the extra player, Brockman, falling on Sicily and McCluggage, is a furphy. Sicily was going the full crocodile roll on McCluggage from the start and intended to hurt.

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.

Correct. Rule of the game - 18.1.3 When a Free Kick May be Awarded A Free Kick may be awarded when the football is or is not in play, between when a field Umpire starts and ends a quarter

1964, else it would be more memorable.

Maynard's spoil on Brayshaw's head was worth a week or two under the Van Rooyen rules.

I reckon the Maggies will try to rough up JVR as they did Jack Watts. I hope and expect the current all-for-one team will this time sort them out.

Always!

I too have been telling people for 50 years that Shane Fitsimmons debuted the same day: incorrectly. On Channel 7's League Teams the previous Thursday, Jack Dyer could not believe that a VFL club would field a side with a Flower on the wing and a Swan at FF. He opined that it must actually be Fowler, that's right Fowler. When RDB moved Robbie from the wing, a thing of beauty was snatched away from us. Have we forgiven him?

I expect Grundy to run amok as did Jackson against his former team. As did Farmer, Power and Travis Johnstone. When TJ had 46 disposals agin us, it seemed stupifying.

Petenders unless we have Petty and Schache playing. Tomlinson couldn't keep up with McKay. Smith as a defensive key forward didn't work as did Melksham didn't once TMac went down last year. BBrown, Tmac, no longer can do enough. Adams not doing much. Turner is too light to release Lever from second key back. So the normal run of injuries means Pretenders. Looking forward to being severely embarassed after the GF.

Yes 👍

As others have already pointed out, Lever is a competent second tall but an intercepting marvel as a third tall working his way onto a small or mid. Tomlinson is starring at Casey. It defies logic to leave him out. McVee gets squeezed out. Hunter comes back in. Chandler goes back to Casey and Spargo to emergency but a toss-up really. Two forward spots for TMac, Van Rooyen, BBrown and The Love Shack. I wouldn't overthink this. Just who ever has run the most kms in their last game. None of them are setting the world on fire. With a qualifying 12 disposals at Casey or 8 in the Seniors. That lets TMAC out.

My bolded words are just putting fuel on the fire and are surprisingly ill-judged IMHO.

I imagine that the Ancient Greeks did not give a stuff, with Constantinople having fallen on April 29, 1453. (Yes, desperate but certainly not dateless). However, the educated class in the 19th Century, was mad for Ancient Greek (as well as Latin). They coined new words based on the Ancient Greek language, e.g. phonogram, telephone, phoneme, saxophone. The alternative explanation that those were just the letters that came out of the scrabble bag, seems rather far-fetched.

If I may have a attempt Old55, the AFL should have wrapped this up more rapidly. First up, their investigations officer should have interviewed all parties individually asap with or without their lawyer as they choose. When it came apparent that their stories were incompatible and one side didn't want to meet the other side, the AFL should quickly have said that the basic facts could not be agreed and no further action was possible. The appointment of a panel of lawyers had no prospect of success. Gill's statement that "this is what they asked for" ducks responsibility. So no further action unless someone sues. Then the jury will be able to look into their faces and work out who was gutted and who is defensive/ashamed. I suspect that there won't be cases. The interview with the former Hawthorn football club welfare manager Jason Burt suggests that they should keep their heads down. So Gill that is another big fail after Lamumba, Goodes, Rioli(?), etc. The system to support indigenous and/or immature and/or isolated players is broken and you do not seem to care. Sling me or many others some of your salary and we would tell you how to fix it.

Too much information perhaps but "p" run into "f" does sound a bit like "f". It was the best that the ancient Greeks could do a couple of thousand years ago last Tuesday, when the "f" sound came back into use in their language. The dedicated letter of diagamma had disappeared due to lack of use. Phono-etc words come from the Greek words φωνή (phonē, 'sound' or 'voice'). Hence the odd spelling. Similarly, the naughty frenchies spelled the Anglo-Saxon "ch" sound as "tch" i.e. catch, hatch. They ran together the "t" sound with the "sh" sound that they rendered as "ch" e.g. chalet, mon petit chou.

Looked Verrall up on the MFC website. Bronze Sponsor => Clayton Oliver Should be a couple of threads about conflicts of interest in there 😃

She'll be right mate. Maysie will push Curnow off the drop off the ball before the umpires are watching.

But only 23, playing at the club where coaches go to die, TMac has seized up. We need the kgs. Sign him up.
