terrible game, umpires getting very technical, hwfua having a mare

yes, go figure, but at least the club didn't question the reporting as they say, rjay....there is three truths....yours.....mine.....and the real truth

i'd have thought an official report to the board trumps a bit of media propaganda by the coach, wouldn't you?

bit unfair, bub players were unavailable due to 1) operations 2) shortened pre-season due to finals 3) injuries 4) extensive number and duration in rehab group over preseason whether he could have done better, i'm not in a position to really know but he was certainly up against major constraints in player availability

well that is in direct opposition to what misson told the board. he specifically quoted the deficient preseason loads achieved across the list with actual statistics......the required workloads were just not achieved and were so low it was worth highlighting to the board

Finally an update........up by 273 52,043

the pre-season is certainly part of it, maybe a big part, but as others have said there is a lot of other things contributing. we don't seem to be making much of fist about anything. very disappointing

and it's whack not wack ?

career ending

no sympathy for morris. he made his bed, he can lie in it (no pun intended)

4.1 this qtr - that's better accuracy

sounds like it's blowing a gale, jack

pity it's not 6.3

yeah it shouldn't irk traditionalists. when i played there was no padding on posts. now with so much padding many goals are denied which does irk me, so this solution would be a good trade-off

it would certainly make a huge difference, wyl and allow many more accurate decisions but it is still a 2 dimensional video and unless you have multiple cameras on different angles there will still be some incidents that will be hard to pin down. cricket still has problems with low down catches because of the 2 dimensional aspect perhaps multiple technologies (snicko, infrared etc). like in cricket, could be used but expensive, given it could occur in so many different non-fixed positions on the ground (unlike in cricket or around the goal posts).

or just not reported? they must have sold a few hundred in the last 4 weeks at least. surely

luci, i must say i have watched the vision (maybe there is more vision i don't know about) and i couldn't say whether it was touched or not. the vision is not good enough quality (for this purpose) and the frame rate is not sufficient for good quality slo-mo. also on other occasions where many have claimed to see a touch (not all cases) i have similarly been unconvinced. i think the real problem is that our technology is nowhere good enough at this stage for the marginal touch cases. i agree though that there is certainly a process problem and too many officials/commentators talking bs and jumping the gun

frees 29 : 14 How much is 15 extra kicks worth?

it's in the banana state

simply outrageous ?

i'm familiar with the cafe snack version (sweet). do you have any more info on this other version (links, etc)?

in many parts of the world they grow "cooking" banana variants (not sweet) which are used more as a vegetable than a fruit. In fact in some countries these variants predominate (e.g. South America i believe)

face it, there's nothing that bananas can't do, uncle

this thread is probably racist based on latest definitions

well that will be the death of umpires making on-field reports
