watts really struggled fitness-wise bb. I thought the conditions were just too much for him he looked totally shagged most of the time he obviously doesn't like high humidity

Bit unfair there dee-luded I've not been too keen on Maric but he was very good last night His best game for MFC and very clean with the ball in difficult conditions

Howe the sub surprises me, Tassie boys are generally good in wet conditions....

yeah I agree. He's such a pedantic [censored], he's just saying he is 99.98% or in other words its not final until its all signed off. he'll stay

hahaha wait till you see the Hogwarts neighbourhood but seriously, I'd watch at least the first movie before watching later ones

source was 3aw, anyway i guess we wait and see....... wonder whether he is in adelaide or darwin at the moment? edit: i'm assuming port went up early like melbourne?

You'll find a lot of bs here from time to time egd. Doubt anyone here has every seen an mfc contract let alone read one.

NONE of the three senior reserves are named in Casey side, so no late night flight back to Melbourne.

all pretty true, but i don't think its a big prob in afl and no worse than its always been theres really two types A] exaggeration or demonstrative. player enhances the offence he thinks is there to make umpire notice B] complete fabrication, just a straight out con. not much you can/should do about A] umpires should maybe get more involved with B]. maybe a warning or a free against. for worst examples the mrp could look at and probably fine for first offence I'm not very happy though at having a specific rule as I don't think it is that big a problem. as i said before the general 'disrepute' rule could always be used for really bad examples. the game is getting sanitised enough

he should be fined but it is hard. look at soccer. you might pick (accurately) 1 in 5-10

well the afl are saying that he wasn't suspended due to the staging and that contact (to the sacred head) was still there and the staging was incidental don't shoot me i'm just the messenger the afl are as weak as p155 on this one and you are right, someone was suspended over this and this confession at least casts doubt on at least part of the elements of the verdict and therefore must make the suspension unsafe but i thought we agreed this was the unaccountable-change-the-rules-to-suit-anytime-afl

except tappy is replacing bennell and maric will be sub (replacing blease)

Quite. It should be a cut and dry case However I think it is a stupid rule that is almost impossible to administer (as in soccer) They have the general 'disrepute' rule and this could be used for extreme breaches (whatever they may be?)

[censored] off rpfc (in the nicest possible way) this is our haven....look it up in the dictionary if no-one posted in that 'other thread' there'd be just a little less bs in the world

and I can see your logic too old dee however we need to get Aaron back in form and I thought Darwin being his home town might provide the right spark yeah I know he probably doesn't deserve it and we need to send messages to senior players etc

if we lose this one now, D'Land will really go into meltdown

True, and the AFL are.....well....the AFL....if you know what I mean

on a brighter note, have a good feeling Liam will let loose tomorrow night hoping Jeremy Howe will too

Catch22 We only (really) know he staged because he admitted it If you charge him then no-one in future would admit it

Domenic Cassisi (sp?) Ports captain is out Attending birth

there was no mention the supporter was blind so i doubt it (well, 98% doubt)

tres funny and harryo actually cracks it for two white-maggots

i can see your logic here redleg i wouldn't be disappointed to see aaron get a run (if fit enough) he's too good a player not to be given a chance and he might have been carrying an injury earlier in the year he's one of the few genuine game breakers we have and saturday's conditions should suit him fine

absolutely and i think rpfc is trying to have his cake and eat it too this thread should be a haven....and untainted

I hope your posting here means you have sworn off that 'other thread'?
