  1. i'd give him another week (good break till next game) then re-evaluate if a period at casey necessary
  2. don't you mean a Scheißkerl? 😎
  3. looked better than ok liked that play with the long handball over the top to fritta for a goal
  4. he'll get a fine
  5. foul breath, uncle ... fouled out in first qtr
  6. i breathed on a guy whilst playing bball and got fouled
  7. computer says: "next question"
  8. gosch's is also pretty open the hangar doesn't look very enclosed either same with arden street at least most of the old suburban grounds had brick walls around them until they pulled them down for community use reasons
  9. so if he'd continued with marking attempt and smashed his head with his knees and showed no duty of care, he would have escaped suspension rightio
  10. but nrl is 90% contact. same with thugby ... no contact, no nrl, no thugby nrl has banned the shoulder charge but still get multiple concussion checks per game a bit off topic but what about striking the ball with your head in soccer. thousands of hits over some players careers
  11. someone would want him. just never get much in these circumstances.
  12. boxing and wrestling will be in big trouble then anyone for non contact nrl?
  13. quite probable ... and gleeson is the wild card (in that he doesn't always follow the afl line)
  14. in that last split second he was where he was purely because of a legitimate attempt to mark to mark the ball. to then claim he was a non contester is really getting over technical. there is also a duty of care on both players. greene himself was in a very vulnerable position being already legitimately air borne. anyway, let's agree to disagree
  15. so, ok, no official grade below careless (for a charge to be made) however that is what maynard achieved. it being regarded as a "football action" i guess the real grade below careless then, is a no-charge so to reword my original, greene's defence could argue it wasn't careless and therefore no-charge at all. by deeming it accidental or a football act. wonder if gleeson will allow a bio-mechanics expert to give evidence on greene's mid air split second choices?
  16. maynard was completely different. maynard hit well after gus had disposed of the ball. it was not during a football action as well as other considerations
  17. by "accidental" i meant the grade below careless ... whatever it is called now yes, i know this case was graded careless ... just posing the question of whether it really was
  18. sorry for that ... but when i looked it definitely said in stock just re-checked and it says In Stock For Same Day Despatch but then down below it says Out of stock strange, that
  19. i think mr fence's main objection is there are no slitherers at caulfield racetrack
  20. i presume they can't have it later at punt road ground because the lighting is not up to afl lighting standards for games and video streaming.
  21. this site has them in stock 26cm mfc gnome
  22. you keep saying greene wasn't contesting the ball. he certainly was, up and until it was deflected and a collision was immininent. this was in a SPLIT SECOND before contact. it is disingenuous for you to insist he was a non-contestant
  23. like i said later. a catch-20 of choices. i'm not convinced in this case that a simple putting out his arms whilst airborne with forward motion and with knees up solves the dilemma. could well be more dangerous for both players. ymmv. but the ball was deflected by boyd at the last split second whilst greene was in a marking action. at this point it couldn't be marked and a collision was inevitable. even if he continued in his marking attempt there would have been a serious collision. look, i'm no fan of greene and his record of rough play, and i'm certainly no fan of tough thuggish play, but in this situation i'm happy to view it as an (unfortunate) football act and therefore not "careless".
  24. if he didn't turn and brace but continued the marking attempt the end result could well have been a knee into boyd's face and both players more seriously injured. if they insist he shouldn't have turned at last split second they would have to explain what he should have done and what that likely outcome would have been. it was a catch-20 of choices
