What are you talking about, both AFL executives were sacked and the papers plastered it all over the front and back pages. Lost their jobs for having workplace affairs.

Personally I would agree with that, but under the current rules “potential to cause injury “lifts the grading and that is it.

Good analysis Bob. Added to the other factors several have mentioned, it all adds up to poorer team performance.

Well tbh when I saw it, I thought a week. A giant runs in and uses his forearm to strike a smaller player on the side of the face, after he has got rid of the ball. Could have been a broken cheekbone, or even a concussion, when he didn’t need to touch him. Could have pushed him, or grabbed him, or actually not touched him. No need for an unexpected forearm to the face/head. Thats not footy.

Probably all contributing factors. We are always told by clubs it is “culture” and “player buy in” that are so important and very possibly Freo are suffering on both fronts.

Boys must be accumulating plenty of frequent flyer points this week.

Another interesting thing is his form so far, is about the same as last year for us. Getting a a heap of guaranteed money, can also affect the mindset of a person as well. Maybe the determination and hunger to succeed is affected, who knows. He now has enough money to retire on and properly invested that will increase. He has a flag. Maybe he has nothing more to prove. Then his new team mates may not get the income they should get, because he has received a large amount of the cap and they have lost mates who have been moved on to fit LJ in. It can all lead to a total breakdown and we can hope it does. I note that Brayshaw is also not playing at his best.

Good solution.

Longmuir said that after round three, that they recruited him for the rest of his career, not his first three games. I just don’t think he wants to single LJ out and discuss him.

👍

If you can bring up the thread for me I should be able to find them. Also the draft thread of 2019 where he was our last pick. I am pretty computer useless and I just can’t find the threads.

Let it be recorded and it is, in the Welcome Trent Rivers thread, that I was probably the first on DL to be really excited about drafting him.

Funniest post I have ever seen on DL.

And Derwayne,who knocked us for drawing about 28000 against a new interstate side, think it was Giants, at about 4.00 on a Sunday, could have even been Mothers day and then said absolutely nothing, about Port at home drawing about 8000. He is of course an ex Port player.

We could but you would have to go around about 1.5 times.

Sshh!

Yes it is often said “ the umpires giveth and taketh away.”

They might if umpires give Charlie a free close to goal, despite the fact he isn’t playing, or even in the State.

I am in Queensland atm and the barbarians up here aren’t showing it. Got some stupid gardening show on. Who gardens anyway and especially when Casey are playing.

In my day that was the name of my favourite pink sports newspaper. I would buy fish and chips on the way home from the game and eat them while reading the fabulous, just printed, pink Sporting Globe. Ah the wonderful memories.

They even had the nerve to name one of the companies after yours truly, “Redtube”. I should sue, but I don’t trust lawyers.

I envy the Cordon Bleu taste and preparation skills of Uncle Bitter. He is the unchallenged MasterChef of Romsey.

On my iPad for the Casey game and then to the tv, for todays feast of Demons’ footy.

You left out watching Casey on the manor computer before the main event. Time to open the spindle on the Shiraz de Wine Cask 2023 to enjoy while watching the 2 games. Maybe even defrost the party pies and make a real celebration of the day.

Because Alir hit the ball away before it got to the goal line and the goal umpire saw it. BTW in that last kick, Buddy pushed Bergman in the back and you can back it in, that if the ball went through, the umpires wouldn’t have called the free.
