That Moloney decision was nothing short of a disgrace and the Tribunal simply made it up as they went along. It still sticks in my craw. Another shocker was the Jack Trengove throw on Dangerfield, who was allegedly destroyed in the incident, with Jack getting 4 weeks while Danger was miraculously resurrected to be best on the ground with 5 goals the next week.

Very similar to free kicks. Each club’s fans can see incidents differently.

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

Has that been confirmed?

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.

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

Agree, especially the bit about the social club. That is not where the money is made, nor is it an element needed for on field success.

I am not looking, the club is.

As far as you know. Who knows what deals might be done behind the scenes.

I think I was watching the same one as you.

I was talking about spending it on a new home.

I am sure we can find where to spend it.
