    Don’t think you will get a lot of arguments on that. Interestingly they only spoke about his forefinger as the one near the eye, while in fact, his middle and ring fingers were right over the eye.

    Will Schofield just rubbished the Tribunal and said Cerra and Laird decisions were laughable and have made it less certain how to tackle. Drew Jones also rubbished the Tribunal.

    Another loss for Ando. Zorko unsuccessful.
  4. I don’t think it is in any way an exoneration. It is just simply that no adverse findings are made, because only one side has presented any form of statement and the party paying the bills for the panel have forced this outcome. No allegations have been properly tested and the Investigation has been stopped and brought to a crashing end, as another “deal” by the AFL.
  5. Yes quite so.
  6. That means a 90% chance of a shower, not showers for 90% of the evening.

  8. You have obviously never heard or seen the Doobie Brothers, who are the greatest band ever. Steely Dan the best studio band ever. Getting back to the thread, I would love a smashing of Carlton and see the in fighting start in earnest.
  9. Well in a defamation suit, while I am not an expert, I thought damages to a large degree centre around lost income. I don’t think given his contract, he could demonstrate much lost earnings. I don’t think pain and suffering is a big component in Australia, but maybe I am wrong on that.
  10. Wonder how long until Clarko returns.

    Who are our very tall forwards, other than BBB who is at Casey.
  12. Presumably they think he might have gone by our msd pick and they see a future for him. We haven’t really seen much as he has been injured. Would you say the same about Verrall?
  13. So would Weid.
  14. 2 of those could be gone next year and another pre season and weights etc, could see him add some more muscle, which will help his development.
  15. I am 71, have loved the game and especially the MFC, since I was about 5 and I am now at the stage, where I only want to go to games, to be with my kids and grandkids. I detest what I see happening to the game, which is run imo purely for money. People are ripped off at every turn by the AFL. AFL members are forced to pay $10.00 on top of membership for a seat at the G, for many games, instead of just being allowed to walk up. The fixturing is completely unfair and of its own, makes the whole competition a compromised sport. The umpiring is inconsistent. The MRO and Tribunal are a joke. The media because of accreditation are sycophants, too scared to report honestly. Everything is a deal, or fixed by a deal. Players now are unsure how to play the game and as an example, against Freo, I watched Melbourne players actually hesitate before going for the ball or tackling. Games being played on school nights, so families are denied the ability of attending. Blasting music so loud you can’t talk to people next to you. Excessive Politicising of the game. My love of the game has been severely diminished by its administrators, who couldn't run a BBQ without giving everyone food poisoning. I detest the direction of the game, that these people have taken it in and I am not referring to efforts to make it safer. Yes they have improved the viewing facilities, with some new grounds and refurbishments, but they have imo achieved little else. At least I have my memories of hard, tough,skillful footy, umpired reasonably, with penalties at Tribunals that were pretty consistent and people loving the game and actually living for it.
  16. That's what I said.
  17. Yes, but I was referring to him getting off at the Tribunal, because he was charged with striking with the wrong forearm, even though they can amend, they let him off a couple of weeks ago.
  18. As a lawyer, if I do any more criminal matters, my clients will be dressed in Carlton jumpers, because then you clearly can’t be guilty. Seriously, I said in another post that this guy simply makes it up. Pin arms, don’t pin arms, injury, no injury, hit head, don’t hit head, sling, don’t sling, drive into ground, don’t drive into ground, duty of care, no duty of care, possibility of injury, reasonable player, no reasonable player, aggressive action, not aggressive action and tonight’s new reason, long hair of the victim makes it look worse than it is. How can you not ridicule this system and the people running it.
  19. Cripps, Hewitt and now Cerra. Are we surprised?
  20. Told you.

    Blues will be whipped up into a frenzy Friday, with all the [censored] going on. Pies sick a week too early.
  22. Redleg replied to Demonstone's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Expect him to be a sub twice more this year.
  23. Redleg replied to JimmyGadson's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Yes we would probably ask the question. I see him as very similar to Fritta.
  24. Redleg replied to JimmyGadson's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Agree he is better than Smith, but he won't be cheap, either in contract, or trade price. PS: When we were ordinary, I would have grabbed anyone who has played footy, but now we need to be very careful and selective with who we add to the list.
  25. Redleg replied to JimmyGadson's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    He could possibly help, but you are adding another not big key forward, to a side that needs them. We really need a 25 year old Tom Lynch, more than anything. Then Roo and Fritta could compliment him. Possibly our best hope would be Verrall in the next few years.
