Possibly its that, but not even first 6 rounds have not come up and someone else said their's has.

Nothing new. Trengove. ANB. Moloney. 3 stunning decisions. The worst was Moloney, who Tribunal saw and admitted, never made contact.

Cats modus operandi. Scott always comments before the Tribunal.

The guy had gotten rid of the ball and was looking downfield. Danger came in from the side. He could have grabbed him, pushed him or done nothing as he didn't have the ball and wasn't expecting blind side contact. Danger chose to bump. The one thing he shouldn't have done. He broke the guys nose and knocked him out. Graded as severe, as that is the only one available with those injuries. Yes, the head bump was probably accidental, however that is exactly what they are trying to stop. Danger knows that better than any other player, as President of the Player's association. They have been told countless times, bump and you are responsible for any head knock, deliberate or accidental. No excuse whatsoever under the rules. All hell will break out if he doesn't get the right whack, minimum 3 weeks. ANB got 4 weeks in a 17 game season for swinging a player to the ground with one arm held. That player got concussed mildly. This is a far worse injury, from an act that the AFL is telling players to avoid if possible. Watch 60 minutes last sunday on CTE deaths and suicides.

My AFL fixture is not syncing to my calendar on my IPhone. I can't work it out. Any ideas?

Watch the second quarter and see what he did. Do that consistently for four quarters and he is a regular.

"MELBOURNE forward Alex Neal-Bullen has been rubbed out for four games, with the AFL Tribunal coming down hard on a sling tackle that concussed Adelaide youngster Will Hamill on Wednesday night. Neal-Bullen pinned one of Hamill's arms while slinging him into the turf, with the first-year Crows player groggily coming from the field where he was unable to return to the game after suffering a concussion. The incident was referred directly to the AFL Tribunal by the Match Review Officer, who deemed the impact of the tackle as 'severe' in a grading that normally determines a minimum penalty of a three-match ban." So "severe" is a 3 week minimum. ANB only pinned one arm and the player got up and walked off. Ask Kelly if he would have preferred the ANB tackle and result, to the one he suffered and we know the answer. As Lucifer's Hero said above ANB got 4 weeks in a 17 game season which equates to 5 games this year.

It works.

Then 2 is a lock.

Can we not mozz him please.

Still flooding the contest and no one out. Dockers killing us in clearances because of it even though we are winning tap outs.

After a lifetime spent fanatically following this club, it is all that is left to de stress, Meditation.

You mean I am wasting my time contemplating the universe?

I am not so confident. We are weak up forward and will need Trac and Max to help there. We also have 2 slow players at the end of their careers, in a game that is now speed based. Hopefully Bowey and Laurie come on to fix that. I am however really excited for my boy JJ and hope this is the start of a long career with us. I am also keen to see my other project player HP return to the side. I think he is much better than most think. Go Dees. I will be there with my 4 year old grandson, who shares a first name with HP, at his first real footy match and am excited for him to hopefully see a Dees win.

I am crossing my legs, sitting in the lotus position, with my palms upturned.

Not if it is only one more goal and we kick 7 points more than them.

Hopefully we can start the season with a win. Don’t want to be dropping a game at home, first up, against a middle of the ladder side the year before. Need those 4 points.

That was my first thought.

Good on you Bluey, I was waiting for this post. Maybe you could be the one to start the " We got rid of the wrong Mac" thread. The site needs a bit more fun.

I acknowledge all the fans on here who wanted him delisted during his first two years at the club. I am sure once again, they will get right behind him as one of their own, if he makes it with us. I repeat what I said in his first year with us. "Give him time, he will be a good player for us IMO."

And most of that paper ends up being used in a little room where the end result is usually a flush.

I was just answering another poster who said they were at full strength.

Lobb, Walters, Banfield and a couple of others out. Not full strength.

Think that will help Freo more than us.

Not that I think he is even a remote chance to play early, but if he can play 2 x 8 minute blocks each quarter, that would make him eligible, given the rotation limits. How fit do you have to be to do that is the question. With LJ and Max playing, that further reduces his chances, as we know Max will play forward a bit more, while BB and Weid are missing. Realistically he has been added to the list as insurance for Max and LJ.
