seems the incorrect disposal/holding the ball rule is officially dead

doubt he runs it....just takes orders

just creeping along. might be a spike signing up at the game on sunday 40,549

but he didn't ask them not to invite

faic they can all get [crow-call]'ed

maybe..... they are already miked up so could certainly talk more. however there is a real reluctance for another umpire to overide or just disagree with the first one who pays a free. i'd like to see a bit more initiative if another umpire sees it differently and is confident. this could either end up a reversal, no change or just a ball-up. better to have a ball up than give a free where 2 umps disagree. of course they would have to be able to resolve this quick smart which would be the major problem.

well if you want a start-stop game that would be fine. games might take 4 hours to complete

would surprise me

they do sell 4 game memberships so buying one a third of the way through the season is not that odd. some people because of other commitments can only get to a handful of games and wait till then to buy a membership. there are other reasons too like being interstate or overseas on work during the early part of the season etc.

arrogance can be very becoming sometimes jnr, and there are certainly some here who excel in it

i like the way he obviously enjoys his footy, always seems to have a grin from ear to ear

that's an amazing number of top 10 stats. and lets not forget he averages about 74% time on ground

if kelly was to leave it doesn't necessarily follow that the highest contract offer would win (though it may be likely). he may think a lesser (but still very good) offer with a better chance of sustained success was more attractive overall. don't just assume that money alone always trumps

afl execs get free international travel?

your 2nd statement is right on the money, choke your 1st statement however shows you are a romantic. The majority of humanity are like sheep and will follow/appease/exploit the shepherd, even ultimately turn into lemmings to crash and burn. history is littered with many examples of the depths of humanity.......and the basics haven't changed

whether richmond will be a destination club come draft time and they finished ninth on the ladder, is another issue

it probably is, but only if the concussion is graded 'x' or higher

thks ethan, as you are now my official researcher baitch, who did we take at 40 and 53?

can't remember, but what did he cost at the trade table?

i think you badly over-rate this "passed him up in the draft" factor. players and their managers are not that dumb if we had promised a player we'd take him in the draft then reneged at the last minute, or said derogatory things about a player during the draft then that might be a bit different. but just simply passing over a player in the draft is of no real consequence

why don't we just leave it up to he doctors. they may not be infallible but they are ten times better informed and knowledgeable about this than we are

apricots is censored, wow, next it will be bananas

that's apple iphone auto-predictive text for you, uncle next they'll do away with teachers ......... just plug babies directly into a computer at birth and leave it to dr google and professor apple and names will be replaced by numbers (just like footballers)

hard to tag someone who is predominately a handballer, and, one of the fastest handballers in the comp. good luck to any tagger
