Redleg

Speaking of 50 metre penalties, the new rule is the invention of an idiot. The umpires boss one week before the season starts has admitted that the umpires don’t know exactly how to set the mark and the player penalised basically has to let the infringed player run away or play in without any pressure. I am struggling to think of a worse rule.

Ok I will. The tomato ? is a fruit like the banana ? .

This thread is further proof of something I learned very early in my legal career. Put 4 people on different corners of an intersection, to view an accident occurring in the intersection and you will get 4 different versions of what happened if you ask them what they saw. As for the Tribunal, given we are challenging the penalty, I would assume we have the Lions on side to explain why Berry didn’t come back on and to downgrade the medium impact by showing no injury.

The anti banana bias in the Moomba Committee is just unacceptable.

Well the big thing to come out of this pre season was the lack of face painters at family day. With 1000’s turning up to have one face painter for all the kids was a joke. If we want to be a premiership side we have to address this issue.

Thanks Saty.

How would I know? It came from another poster who spoke to an unnamed player. Good to hear though.

That is exciting. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks that’s good news. He has become one of our better players.

No contact to the head. May braces but doesn’t fully bring the arm up to lock the shoulder. May is nearly stationary at collision as other player is running forward. Umpires were there and no concern. Mummy puts forearm into players face a week before and is fined. This not suspension worthy or IMO even reportable.

Has that been confirmed?

No one mentioning Tom MAC. Completely out of form atm. Don’t know how many marks he dropped but had no influence at all. Our forward entries to be fair were terrible and our disposal is still my major worry, along with a lack of pace. On a positive note we lose by 7 points with a stack of injuries, some players playing their first practice game, several regulars out and a generally poor game by the team, also not helped by about 6 goals from frees to the Lions.

My waistline always increases after a holiday. Luckily this time it was only a small increase. Then again it was pretty big to begin with.

Passed on a banana and peanut butter smoothie today. Boy that is willpower.

Was it in fact the Gutnick Board that passed on the Lexus centre or another MFC Board? It certainly wasn’t solely Gutnick if it was offered during his time at the club, that is for sure.

Can we get off the morbid talk of death guys and discuss something uplifting like bananas.

Hopped in the lift at work with Junior and in came Adem Yze. Had a little chat and told him that IMO he was one of the great hbf's of the Dees. Brought a smile to his face and a very humble thank you.

Well they do say absence makes the heart grow fonder. Or is that abstinence?

You wouldn't be the first to want me to take a long leave of absence.

I prefer to save my countdowns for the draft.

Interestingly though, he said he hoped not to miss any games and that it was a family issue. He might just need a couple of weeks to concentrate on the issue.

Agree. I see Bayley as a hff or fp, not a defender.

Well I am back from my latest sojurn and it is great to see that we haven't lost a game yet.

Thanks and good to hear.

Don’t worry about the Roos letting him go, that is a sign of the times. The Bombers let Jake and Hibberd go and The Suns let May go for example, not that Preuss is in their league.
