  1. actually the more sensible logic the family is in melb
  2. that's my understanding though take into account front-loading and year 5 (&4?) may be conditional and therefore actually a contract extension
  3. and he tries to kick the ball too hard and fast. needs better rhythm in his kicking
  4. haha they're thinking of renaming werribee biffoland

  8. and a tablespoon of cod liver oil for you, od
  9. all the new rules seem to get expanded and then interpreted too technically in a way that defies common sense and any feel for the game. additionally many players start to exploit new rules in ways never originally intended so a new rule brought in for possibly a good reason (though sometimes just an over-reaction) ends up impacting in many ways not intended. umpires need to given more rein to use common sense in order to ignore the inconsequential technical breeches. e.g. the reserved zone, the third man up joke etc and a simple solution to the 30 sec rule is to not have one and just stop the clock until the kick is taken (no running down the clock). if a player is wasting time (not clock time) then ump has the power to say '5 seconds', 'move it on' or 'play on' if ignored
  10. think he must be playing injured

  14. 19 in his first game - turned 20 on 5th july (about 14 games in?)

  16. well ernie, being a sensitive new age bloke i was trying to avoid sexist terms like female and women edit: damn. just realised there is a he in sheila.......it just too hard, ernie
  17. well haydon bunton senior had 2 brownlows in his first 40 games
  18. three, red. the sheilas won too
  19. just forget the stupid rules and their even more stupid interpretations..... just what do you think the decision should have been (in the spirit of the game)? I reckon the priorities would be (in this sequence) 1. play on - probably this as contact was inconsequential (feel for the game) 2. free against hogan for dangerous contact - a real possibility, he had choices, and clearly 2nd to the ball, but the freo guy did go to ground, but probably just to protect himself 3. free for hogan for having his legs taken out - stupid, the guy was in the motion of picking up the ball and clearly first to the ball. he didn't dive at the ball.
  20. sheer looxury
  21. yes, but why do they always leave their spectacles in the change rooms?
  22. was a very frustrating day, od
  23. between the railway cutting and the oval there is firstly a parallel strip of grass, then a parallel (i.e. east-west) pathway with an avenue of large trees either side. i might be wrong but i would expect this avenue to be retained (do you agree?) therefore, there is quite a distance from the railway cutting to the oval (40--50m???) and the (double) avenue of large trees would obscure (to some extent) the view of the ground from buildings over the railway cutting at least this seemed to be my opinion when i went and walked the area on the day of the saints game. what do you think cbd? or have i got it wrong?
