Game against Freo - umpiring
we could also have an umpires tribunal where they could be fined for blatant errors and a mro for conduct unbecoming, bringing the game into disrepute etc and being suspended making them ineligible for the downlow goose, gander

Demons Grand Plan for Yarra Park Training HQ
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?

the north east corner is just a reference to where the proposed training oval is located in yarra park

the role of a small fwd has traditionally been one of the hardest gigs in football, and a graveyard for many even the best small forwards careers have been punctuated by good games and many average or bad games today it has probably gotten even harder with the forward press and the congestion and the demand for a small forward to be a defensive fwd at the expense of his natural attacking instincts and finding himself often in the defensive half because of the need to run both ways it's not surprising when you look at the total career of a good (permanent) small fwd that his overall stats might look a little on the lean side. quality doesn't always get measured well by stats

can have 2 interpretations, od " The Demons confirmed there would be an administration building on top of the train line----- but only goal and point posts------ on the playing field <<<< which is >>>> in the northeastern corner <<<< of yarra park >>>>." i prefer this interpretation myself

if we lose to freo ..........don't bother reading joeboy's "my three word player analysis v freemantle". it won't be pretty ..........in fact stay clear of demonland for a few days unless you are a masochist esp if feeling suicidal

afl rules don't apply for #freekickhawthorn.......they just become elastic guidelines.......much like the maggots

according to the hygrometer in my study, it implies that 65% is the point between "normal" and "very humid" but i don't trust my instruments ?

Cyril Rioli
absolutely moonie, but he was still a midfielder not a permanent small forward mids used to score a lot more goals in those days compared to now, at least the good ones did. suspect today a mids role in the forward line is not so deep and to keep the ball locked in the forward half. totally different game structure now with 30+ players ending up in the forward half most of the time

temp 27c dew point 20c equates to rel humidity of 65.6% whatever that means i don't really know, but suspect it means it will be hot and humid

Cyril Rioli
he was not a specialist small forward. he was a midfielder

players will be wearing 3d virtual reality goggles which will "add in" things like boundary fences, goal posts, crowds and crowd noises whilst simultaneously providing a plethora of real time statistics on the goggle screen. tis the way of the future

i know od, but essenscum are the exception. also i wouldn't say hawthorn are "well into" yet.....long way to go we also have casey, but i agree this is not really much help by new tech i meant they could have hidden goal/point posts and netting underground and could pop them up at the flick of a switch. an extension of what they already do at the mcg for netting. instead of a fence the could have popup led lighting to simulate a fence when they need one. not saying they are planning these things but just give them as illustrations of how technology could be used to overcome perceived deficiencies thing is we know so little of what they are planning, and i'd like to think they aren't totally stupid

unless they have some other (new technology?) ideas we don't know about?
