it's interesting to note that the chicken wing incident had no bad outcome but was still heavily penalised. that is to say that the mro/tribunal normally place more penalty based on the outcome rather than the action and its potentiality. but here the emphasis was reversed. i think the penalty here was about right, but again it begs the question of mro consistency

port adelaide were called Cockledivers, Seaside Men, Seasiders, Mudholians, Dustholians, and Magentas, before settling on Magpies then powa that first one could have easily been confusing, but i prefer mudholians

nah sorry, it's purely a south melbourne heritage culture thing (at least for victorians) no south melbourne connection and there would be no "bloods" the name south melbourne bloods changed to south melbourne swans in 1933 but that didn't mean the nickname bloods disappeared then. people in melbourne up until they left for sydney still knew about the bloods and many supporters still kept using the name.

are they unhappy at their clubs or delaying contract upgrades? if so, yes, i'd be very interested

instead of he's not happy at norf and has put off contract discussions

i'd rather go and get horne-francis

it's gotta be the blues.....after all they have won 8 premierships this year already 🤣

clearly doesn't have to be 2 motions, as can be attested by chandler getting 2 weeks suspension. langdon did hit the back of his head on the turf and thomas was fortunate there was no concussion

60,681

the word is they're going to offer buddy a 7 year deal

ch9 news said lingers spent night in hospital.....doesn't sound good

be sure to take a pic and post to demonland tonight in fact it can be your job to get a pic each game 😃 👍

For what it’s worth, I say today that I think the Tom Browne/Jackass comparisons are linked in the sense that both know jackshyte about what they are braying about

so much so a yardstick that the yardstick has been renamed to the deestick (not to be confused with bees)

given 150 games is 3 x his jumper number, i expect he will kick 3 goals just for the sake of numerology

no one seems to know where the suggestion that martin might go to sydney comes from strange times

10:0 has such a nice ring to it

you mean like the dogs in Q4 GF 2021?

the mro are the arbiter, rightly or wrongly the mro adjudicated hawkins (very similar) tackle as not even worthy of a fine. it's on the record. there's your case for an appeal meanwhile the afl can do a better job of defining exactly what is a suspendable tackle versus an unfortunate footy action. and they can explain why they didn't appeal the hawkin's case if they are sincere.

because precedents are important. less than 6 months ago hawkins did a very similar tackle causing concussion and not only was he not suspended, he wasn't even fined the mro never explained why these cases are different how do you train players to tackle if you can't properly define what is a suspendable tackle and what is just an unfortunate football action or even a non-culpable accident

also called dustinophobia or martinophobia

you'd like tigriphobia then. 😹

chandler's suspension is generating very little comment in the media obviously because he's not a big name player imagine if it had been a top player, it would be being debated ferociously and most likely appealed pretty obvious that sadly, it's not about the action but all about a player who just doesn't rate

i reckon he was better at the dees, but he did give good service to freo. i'm bias of course
