yes, i'm sure epl, nba, mlb etc don't get a 3.5 month break. they are after full time professionals on big dosh. a constrained pre season is going to lead to another compromised and unpredictable season next year (along with the other covid restrictions)

i agree the fa recipient gets too good a deal. something along your lines or similar is required to "even" it up a bit i also don't think father/son or academy picks should get a 20% discount. just getting the player and only having to pay in pick values is benefit enough

Edit: after reading on i see this has been argued extensively, sorry for adding to it

no, he'd be 31 in last year of 5 year contract

with all this wee and poos stuff i thought i must have stumbled onto the dorks forum site by mistake

or maybe edmund is peddling a mixture of rumour and fact or trying too hard to join the dots?

just concerned for your mental health, ht ?

the bit i don't get is edmund blames the grog but then states he tested under .05. as anyone would know being <.05 is not very much grog at all (even if you had been off the grog for a while)

you are thinking too hard, ht Thinking too hard can strain your brain

afghan currency is afghani, afghan people are afghans.

just a bit of fun, ds. but you are probably right, he has looked a bit slower

so you reckon he's fat like petracca, ds?

just a strained ligament 3-4 weeks off

please.....can someone shove a length of 4x2 down mcavaney's throat?

it's not new, auto renew occurred to me last year too, after explicitly requesting it to not happen the previous year. i rang up last year and complained and was assured i was registered as no auto renew. now it has happened this year again (not by email but by snail mail this morning). i'm wondering if this might be an afl thing rather than a club thing. it seems to me all the clubs share a lot of the processes of membership renewal and registration.

in the past i have explicitly requested no automatic renewals, yet that is what happened to me last year too i don't mind reminders but not auto billing

and then they went to the vfa.....and head hunted.....and became a target to every journey man vfa player looking for a big name scalp i remember particularly billy barrot among others getting a torrid time

i just wish they'd stop using the term "sling tackle" because the discussion then just devolves into the technicalities of what constitutes a "sling tackle" (i.e. one arm pinned, two arms pinned, double action sling etc) which avoids discussing inherent danger and risk. the issue is simply one of a dangerous tackle which endangers the head, basically where the played is slammed with excessive force to the ground not saying this one was or wasn't but deserved discussion and mro review. i'd probably have given a fine to send a message, because it certainly was on the border

mro/tribunal couldn't do any worse if they flipped a coin for guilt ...and used a dice to determine penalty .....would make good reality television too

as i remember it show day and cup day were both 1/2 day holidays. most companies (to avoid disruption) picked just 1 of the two or gave employees a choice to make it a whole day holiday p.s. and i think some companies (not many) voluntarily gave both as full days

you still use atm's, moonie.....i thought you were more progressive

never drink and drive, moonie

yeah ethan, watching this dross i'm glad we never merged with these losers

he gets my vote for rising star

since when was sense a requisite for politics?
