Please explain.

You can tell him it is paid for overwhelmingly by the MCC members.

It must be all but certain that he is to be delisted and not seen again, but it really is appalling that his case is taking so long to reach its end. Whoever is running this - ASADA? the AFL? - is showing no regard for the player. And after all, what was his offence? Nothing more than taking a very common, albeit illegal stimulant too close to game day for it to clear his system. That's it. Not performance enhancing, just dumb. However, no-one will go in to bat for him because an example must be made of him. So sayeth the AFL.

Flattered by the scoreline. Terrible performance with finals berth in prospect.

Truly, who gives a rat's about Heeney? Or the Brownlow? Rubbish award decided by some of the most incompetent clowns connected to the game.

Correct.

Even Bomber fans are saying it. (From bomberblitz.com:) Umpires gave us 3 goals when the game was truly over Disgraceful evening up I have ever seen- umpire no 22 take a bow

Complete lack of last quarter heroics from the Pies. Suck it up McCrae, you [censored].

Geelong making the MFC forward line look efficient. Just weak. Dropped marks and missed chances galore.

Worst selection news is Andrew Stephens (umpire number 12). I'll say it now, before the bounce, an utter donkey. (Sorry quadrupeds.)

Actually, although they are laying off journalists, news is one of the few areas FTA tv has an advantage. Drama production is non-existent, unless you count H & Away and Neighbours. News and games shows and sport is pretty much all they have. There's a big query over whether we need three commercial FTA networks. The answer is probably that only one can stay healthy. As for sport, unless the Fed Government extends anti-siphoning rules, and it does not appear so, it's going behind a paywall.

You inspired me to check. Cyril 189 games for 275 goals, or 1.45 goals per game; Kozzie 99 games for 150 goals represents 1.51 goals per game. Impressive. And special.

My first thought is that it will need to be Fullarton for Max. Petty is too fragile to ruck all day.

I don't want to go full demonland and whinge about a big win because: 1: we showed great skill in ball movement during an at times clinical exhibition; 2: JVR was great (but for some odd misses); 3: the Kolt was also terrific; 4: we tackled strongly early in setting up our domination and ran the game out sans Max; 5: Melky looked primed and added to his goal tally; 6: Kozzie took that speccy he's been chasing for five years; 7: the kid Wilson was back to form...buuuuut, WE SHOUDA WON BY 80 POINTS BUT FOR SOME LOUSY DELIBERATE SHOTS!!!! (And we owed them.)

And if you can't ask Robbo directly, then have a read of page 184 of Between The Flags where Robbo describes leading to Ooze and Trapper.
