We did win too many games with Jonesy in the side in the last 10 years either.

I just find it incredible that this one guy, who was at multiple AFL and league clubs, was the sole architect and has cost clubs millions and millions of $$, put players lives and mental states at risk let alone unknown issues for the future... and he just wanders off.

How has he not had to answer 1 question during the whole saga?

Jess said it wasn't that much but in the ball park but the lawyers are arguing over the sum.

His manager (Peter Jess) was on SEN this morning and basically said it is a similar process to all of the other Dons and ex Dons players. L-M is seeking compensation, all of the other players (bar 1) have settled. L-M with his legal team and medical team have a figure they want as compo and it is the legals arguing over what it is worth. Jess can't understand how there is even an agreement just settle it and get it over with. His daughter would be a totally different claim but because they can't prove what was or wasn't given it is very complex and there has been different opinions on if there could be a link to L-M daughter but it is ongoing. Sad, terrible set of events. Why the hell has Dank not been brought to task on this is beyond me.

That passage with 4 mins to go in 2nd qtr just then is Z Jones. Looks great streaming away with the ball, gets over excited can't steady and misses an easy goal with no pressure.

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
