    When Viney kicked that goal, Impey pinned his arms and sling tackled him into the ground. No stretcher and no injury and nothing to see here.

    The potential to cause injury was obvious.

    It can’t go on like this where an MRO just picks and chooses who to punish.

    Off the ball punches getting fines because no stretchers or injuries.

    There is just no consistency or logic in the system.

    PRECISELY: IN THIS FANTASYLAND CALLED THE AFL, A PUNCH IS - WELL, JUST A FINE. BUT IF YOU TACKLE- WHICH IS PART OF THE GAME AND THE RULES, AND A PLAYER ACCIDENTALLY HITS HIS HEAD, WELL, NO, THAT'S SUSPENSION MATERIAL. WHAT UTTER HYPOCRITCAL CLAP!

    Where do you sleep

    Due to the simple fact that as soon as my wife and I share a bed, it becomes a snoring contest. I have declared her the World Champion, and I have moved to a bed where we cannot hear each other snore. It's a move which many couples have discovered, saves marriages.

    Our pooch, Leila, a 4and a half year old girl, sleeps on her beds in what I call the Western Front, I.E at the western end of the passageway where our daughter resides. I call our Leila Bete Banc, our daughter is Betty Noir.

    If you are a chocolate lover, you get better value for money on discounted chocolate biscuits, than chocolate bars.

    You'll all die young of Diabetes if you keep this addiction to sweet junk food up: then again, if the chocolate is dark....

    I have a Swiss White Sheppherd: she is much, much better looking than your blanc pooches...And she's sweet and gentle not like yours. self described as 'Attack Dogs'. I know, they keep your Moyston Claret drinking citadel safe from marauding Romseyites.

    Chandler plays a role where you will have quiet games. Small forwards have the hardest role in footy in terms of getting big stats. Sometimes they'll kick 3, sometimes they'll touch it twice a game. It's just luck of the draw and really depends on how the rest of the side is playing. 

    I think as long as Chandler keeps up his defensive role, he is perfectly fine. 

    BTW he had 12 touches, 3 score involvements and 3 clearances. These are super similar stats to Spargo, but Spargo kicked 2 and that's how the dice rolled this week. 

    Good point. As a matter of fact, it did occur to me when watching the replay that there are times in every game where the ball always seems to by played on the other wing - hence Langdon's relative quietness in the first half and Hunter's in the second half. The same probably applies to Chandler. I really love the way he plays, with heart and soul and great skill. So I take it back....

    This thread has gone to [censored] !

    I suppose you wanna just go back to bananas and the preversions and decadence of the Romsey Manor. And I worked out last night - well, what else does one do when insomnia reigns, apart from reaching for yet another valium - that when you claim to be only drinking Top Shelf, that it was Moyston Claret, or Seaview Cab Sav. Am I write?

    There’s accepting normal bodily happenings, then there’s actually enjoying and being proud of them.

    When I was a teenager my mum told me when a couple get to the point of not caring if the other hears (or smells) them fart, it means the relationship is stale and may not be worth continuing, but if they get to the point of actually enjoying it, the relationship is here to stay since they’re too far gone. Just as my mum said this my dad walked through the room and farted loudly. They both laughed their heads off and my mum turned to me and said “case in point!” 

    Wise gal, your mum.

    Mate come on..

    You can clearly see now he's slung around with such momentum that he doesnt even have time to protect himself hence he's smacked his head hard on the ground.

    It's easily a 1 week suspension. 

     

    Surely the issue here is Sparrow's momentum and Day's reaction. Players are told to tackle - it's part of the contact sport known as AFL football. Players who don't get spurned by their coaches and fellow players. Had Sparrow pinned his arms then you have a case. The fact is, he legally tackled him by the waist, Day's arms were free: the end result was as much to do with Day's reaction as Sparrow's tackle....

    More likely that we were involved in a garbage game against a team that doesn't metter.

    You will hear plenty about Melbourne games when we play Port, Carlton, Collingwood, Geelong in the next 6 weeks if we start losing

    They made a lot of noise about the Port Adelaide/North game, same as the garbage games last week. The Melbourne Hawthorn game did not rate a mention,

  11. Squeaking about St Albans, I was glad to see the Haimes Paint cheque going to my old footy club, Sunshine, just down the road from Albania. I played in the ruck against Laurie Sandilands in a semi final against West Footscray in 1966, kicked two goals, was named as one of the best in a losing team.

    During the second quarter our number one ruckman, a stocky Alan Morrow type, somehow lay Sandilands on the ground behind play - I'm not saying he 'struck him', right, I don't wanna get sued - and as usual I was the only Sunshine player in the area when Sandilands' team mates discovered his cadaver. They all rushed towards me and I was on the brink of blurting out, IT WASN'T ME!!!!

    Wow it’s getting a bit testy on here.

    Has somebody sling tacked someone?

    You sound like a flatulence denier. What's testy about discussing the realities of daily life: as Maupassant put it, Marriage is the exchange of bad temper during the day, and bad smells during the night.

    Day I think has been concussed before and if he hit his head as a result of the sling, there is the one week.

    If he pinned his arms it would have been 2-3.

    We will accept this one.

     

    So Sparrow was to know that Day had been concussed, therefore, don't tackle. This tackling issue has become a victim of legalese semantics. Tackling is still part of the game and unless arms are pinned, the spur of the moment outcomes are incontrollable. I am beginning to believe the AFL is a crock of fulldust.
