THE BOMBERS' DOPING SAGA - THE FAT LADY SINGS
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.

THE BOMBERS' DOPING SAGA - THE FAT LADY SINGS
How has he not had to answer 1 question during the whole saga?

THE BOMBERS' DOPING SAGA - THE FAT LADY SINGS
Jess said it wasn't that much but in the ball park but the lawyers are arguing over the sum.

THE BOMBERS' DOPING SAGA - THE FAT LADY SINGS
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.

End of year delistings
Too soon? Trap beat me too it. Maybe wait until we are a few games out from seasons end. Who knows what changes between now and then.

Zak Jones
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.

When will Melbourne break these embarrassing records?
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!!

NHL
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.

Mark Basics [edit: resurrected from 2013]
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.

The Petracca v McCartin debate reprised
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.

THE BOMBERS' DOPING SAGA - THE FAT LADY SINGS
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.

Clarence Oliver
Cripps is going to be one of the best in the league, Oli is on the path but not there yet. Cripps dominance against us late last season was incredible to watch.

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

THE BOMBERS' DOPING SAGA - THE FAT LADY SINGS
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.

THE BOMBERS' DOPING SAGA - THE FAT LADY SINGS
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 $$.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - TIM SMITH
Best of lucky Smithy. This part really stood out to me from the link above... "Smith said the fact that he and fellow rookie Declan Keilty was drafted from Melbourne’s VFL aligned side was a great example of how the ‘one club’ mentality had prospered. And he was proud to become somewhat of a poster boy for fellow draft prospects eager to make the transfer from Casey to Melbourne. “I’m absolutely rapt for Decs and myself,” he said. “It’s unbelievable and it couldn’t have been a better outcome for both of us and Casey. The alignment this year was super strong and probably the strongest it’s ever been in my time at the club. “I think for guys coming into Casey – it’s going to be a real focal point. There is a chance [that you can get drafted and play for Melbourne]. There is light at the end of the tunnel for guys that dig in and potentially be given an opportunity at AFL level.”

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

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - TIM SMITH
Great news for Smith, as others have said here is hoping the full time side of things allows him to develop further. He's not on the full list just yet but he has given himself a shot. Fantastic results for the Casey alignment too. Hopefully this draws more young talent to Casey to top up the club if some of the overlooked guys see it as a pathway to AFL.
