  1. Haha....not on Emoland my friend Let rip!
  2. Only you have mentioned banning anything. Let someone else get the dirty cash.
  3. Got your point and think it's overly simplistic. The AFL is doing the right thing questioning the ethics of the revenue.
  4. Hard to argue there wouldn't be a reduction when the increase since their introduction is beyond doubt. (that figure was 50 BILLION dollars between 1992 & 2016 in Victoria alone!) Respectfully, the magnitude of this is a world away from your Backyard Bob two-up game.
  5. Pathological gambling is a progressive illness and a psychological disorder so think yourself lucky you find them boring. In fact, the compulsive gambler is generally male, with an IQ above 120 - so you are right, not most of us here!
  6. Interesting.... http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/afl-looks-to-reduce-football-clubs-reliance-on-poker-machines-20170816-gxxrzk.html
  7. People don't set out to become hooked and destitute when they first see a poker machine. The "physical" effect these things can have on the human brain is now well and truly scientifically established - so "people taking responsibility" is a ridiculously naive and ignorant oversimplification. The unsuspecting "losers" have no idea what's coming. The multi-billion dollar industry has left nothing to "chance" in ensuring the machines prey on the proven weaknesses of the vulnerable; down to every last detail such as the colours & sounds used. Their use as a revenue source is a blight on the sport as a collective and the AFL - who are the self proclaimed moral and ethical role models of our community. Yeah, the issue is not going anywhere anytime soon, but don't kid yourself, it's filthy money.
  8. Named again - bring it on Jack!! #freejacktrengove
  9. Still have my Air Jurrah T-Shirt CB. Oh what could have been....Great to hear is doing OK.
  10. Hartigan won't be returning against us
  11. I'm not usually a fan, but I found Malthouse's article in the HUN rather insightful... http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/expert-opinion/mick-malthouse-says-the-demons-dont-have-culture-issues-but-need-strong-leadership-to-play-afl-finals/news-story/46e9af49fd4c5bee20fd2ec402f4fa43
  12. This! In one the more unpredictable seasons I can remember, every minute of every game is going to matter.
  13. In the best again on the weekend I see. I wonder if he did "some things"? Hope so for him...
  14. Let's hope they are being a tad more specific with their feedback to Jack.
  15. some additional detail http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-07-07/hogans-return-special-for-dees
  16. When does the decision get announced? Game day?
  17. Agree, it's insidious S%^T. No offense Daisy.. to each his own.
  18. True to your name WB. I'm with you...mostly based on the injury list, which is kind of stating the obvious. Huge game on Sunday.
  19. He's pumped we're in the media. Cut some slack, it was a 1am post
