What they're saying down at Windy Hill
i think it was because he was too late. another bummer in front of him opted not to man the mark and ran up the field to defend agree it's a very grey area and the initial 50m was quite technical watch it here

you're totally correct but i still think the whole protected area rule/penalty is a bit of an over-reaction........but that's the rule

TICKETING: Rd 16 vs GWS
well last week the g was capped at 25k and fully ticketted by ticketek. they said it was a sell-out, but attendance ended up over 20% down at 19.5k so i doubt they have sold 25k tickets for this week, but they will probably say they have gov has already announced no lifting of current restrictions, so the anticipated lifting to 85% capacity for this week is put off for another week you could try ringing the club as they can often help in these situations.....worth a try at least

COVID & AFL 2021
speaking to your gp as the gov tells us, is to determine if one's medical history contains any contra-indications for a particular vaccine before proceeding. the gp should be the keeper of our medical history or can ask relevant questions if not. so the medical specialists (cho's etc) tells us if it is ok to have a particular vaciine and under what conditions (age and other medical pre-conditions). the GP checks and discusses the medical pre-conditions that's the distinction, as i see it and of course you still have the personal freedom of choice to vaccinate or not or wait

COVID & AFL 2021
jaded, i'm not necessarily disagreeing, but i would not take advice from gp's on complex epidemiology issues. there is a good reason they are gp's and not specialists. i like my gp very much but he is very risk averse (like mosrt) and refers any matter that is not mundane or routine to a specialist at the drop of a hat. the average gp doesn't even do simple procedures like stitches nowadays, instead referring you to the nearest hospital er. my nephew is a orthapaedic surgeon and he disagrees with your best friend gp, as does my long standing family gp......but there again, neither are an epidemiologist either. still, i guess we are all human anyway and take advice in whatever shade of grey, wherever we can get it

COVID & AFL 2021
well, it's as i have suspected for a long time. the health experts don't have the answers and they disagree with each often. they are becoming experts in supposition based on a lack of real data a bit of a "we don't really know" answer sometimes would be preferable to constructing fairy tales

port melbourne in the 60/70s at least was also a war zone and the old crones were some of the vilest. they would line up on the visiting team's wire framed race and spit on the players

Local media pundits not taking MFC as a serious threat.
our biggest problem will be staying largely injury free increasing our scoring would be nice but as long as our defence stays strong it's not a deal breaker

Melbourne to sell the Bentleigh Club
i take back the 12 and now make it 14, as travis said google maps shows 12 block equivalent plus 2 adjacent normal size blocks but when you look at the satellite picture those 2 blocks are now part of the bentleigh club car park

Melbourne to sell the Bentleigh Club
no hurry yet, uncle. there has lately been a large influx of oriental bluerinsers in burwood which is proving a delightful and rewarding challenge. i'm sure you can appreciate my reluctance to move on at this time

What they're saying down at Windy Hill
when i was a kid i often found i was surrounded by home team fanatics, but i always thought they'd never beat up a kid so i used to barrack as hard as i could. luckily it seemed to work for me despite a few scary moments i wasn't till i was much older and wiser that i realised fanatic bummer fans would kill their own children if it would ensure a win, and how lucky i was in truth, to attain my majority in one piece

Melbourne to sell the Bentleigh Club
well i'll toss in for 12 blocks. if you look over the road at yawla st it lines up exactly with 6 block frontages now of course it all depends how one defines a block. Is it the traditional 700m2 block or the latest trendy 300m2 if you're lucky block i also have no idea what size those current blocks on yawla st are any other takers?

My 3 word player analysis V Essendon
just like to point out that hit out to advantages don't necessarily equate to successful clearances just saying

CHANGES: Rd 16 vs GWS
re sparrow: he only had 50% time on ground......yet got 11 disposals, 5 tackles and of course that excellent 50m timely goal you couldn't drop him on that performance

is touching balls still banned?

What they're saying down at Windy Hill
i'd just add one thing re the game i thought the game was planned in pretty good spirit by the players there was no spite or melees and thugs out to intimidate like in a few other games over the weekend only big downer was the bummer fans and the umpires (as usual), plus the reduced number of tickets
-
What they're saying down at Windy Hill
agree with this i would have paid the goal despite the video being too fuzzy based on umpire decision stands i would pay goal if foot made contact whilst ball not completely over line i.e. ball still in play but this is just my opinion

What they're saying down at Windy Hill
i don't think the rules cover this situation precisely it's just a grey area and the afl should clarify it in the rules
