Sounds like a really good healthy relationship, kudos to you both!

Funny aside, Leo was at the game and came charging up for a hug after the game!!

I'm sure I've said it before on here but NHL playoff hockey is some of the best sport you will ever see. It is extraordinary the skill level of the players these days (some of the goals are ridiculous, ie the backhanded goal from the Pens yesterday) let alone the ability of teams to be playing 7 game series after such a long regular season. I absolutely love watching, when I do get 5 mins to myself. Was great to see the Oils back in the playoffs, in fact I've enjoyed seeing Canadian teams back in and playing well. Adds some wonderful crowds and noise in the viewing. Nashville have an outstanding chance to win it all this year, would be an unbelievable result if Subban led them to the cup in his first year out of the Habs and will look like an absolute disaster of a move (it already does). I'm off to Adelaide tonight to go see the Dees Saturday and will be taking my ipad to watch the game on Sat and hopefully some of Sundays game.

Speaking of mark basics, my bugbear... not extending your arms to mark. Happens way too often when leading. Extending your arms gives you extra length defenders cant get around and if they do there is a high chance they will chop the arms.

Again watching him yesterday "special" didn't jump out at me. Solid, some potential were the words I had in mind. Really needs to lift his game sense and just can't body or find the ball in the air like our man Hoges (not many can but he is special). Oh PD beat me to it.

Haha he has to be a Deelander

How was he feeling D?

Embarrassing. If it happened, own it and clean it up. It was 10 years ago and it appears no other club is like that. But it happened.

I'm sure there were waivers signed.

So Gatto confirmed the story was true didn't he? And has Charter the [censored] now said he can "clear" the players?

Putting some $$ in the bank for Jake Carlisle pending claim.

British cycling and TS sanctimonious attitudes T Fidge.

Someone?! Mate there looks like a number of then went rogue, to many people involved for it to only be the Doc and Wiggins. I used to love the big cycling events, finding it harder and harder to stay engage. They don't seem like they really want to clean it up entirely or can't. Along with the questions on moto doping now days.

hhmmm maybe they are waiting to see how he plays this season before making a claim? If he excels could they be lining up for a bigger claim?? ie I was a mess because of the whole saga and my profession was affected I want more $$.

Great to see, now, two of our own in shot.

But but, Bomber and the Weapon said he was...

The Age reporting.... he didn't front. Family emergency.

One would hope Mitchell and Cotchin head over to Ess asking for compo for lost earnings as well.

Fing ouch!!!! Poor bastard. http://deadspin.com/texans-tackle-derek-newton-tore-both-his-patellar-tendo-1788171975

Hibberd kept a low profile compared to Lewis? No presser from Hibb?

All The Way. Hot about half way through this HBO film about LBJ taking over the presidency after JFK was gunned down. Really interesting view and Bryan Cranston is such a compelling actor.

Bang bang and bang, the real keys to hibb are hopefully those 3. Our current flankers are not great 1-1 but keeping the skill level up with that trait could be massive for us. Then as you say release a Salem up the ground. We saw at VFL level some of his kicks hitting leading fwds from the wing on the weekend, before the grass took it revenge on his brain.

Wouldn't they frown upon batting in the crowd?

Even if it isn't all of our cups of tea, not all of us were around in the 70's EH so I'm sure there is some interest out there.

Abe you tend to read players on long term injury can find it harder as they feel isolated from the team even though they are at the club. They spend all of the time with the physio's and others in rehab group, missing out on the other team stuff.
