  1. so we don't need another ruckman?
  2. and importantly give maxy a chopout in the ruck
  3. but you could always go to dicky reardons in richmond and line up behind the cops for sly grog
  4. if he can play as an effective deep forward he can make starting 22
  5. and please keep your head out of places it shouldn't be
  6. and in-between, nasher. i.e. continuously. does that endear you?
  7. now you are an expert on the 50's did your grandfather tell you all about it or did you find a leave it to beaver vid on youtube?
  8. never mind azzman, " there are none so blind as those who will not see"
  9. as i originally said, the key factor here is that the ball was not held or pinned by the tackler. the second factor was he made no genuine attempt to dispose of the ball (he only tried to break the tackle) and the third and defining factor was he eventually (after a fair while) just dropped the ball. i also said he was unlucky to be the recipient of such a good tackle, but that's the luck of the game (rules) of course there is always a degree of interpretation, but in this situation it would be given a free in most cases. the ball was not "spilled" due to, or at the time of tackle. in fact he dropped it a couple of seconds later and that is critical. it's a free kick now and it was a free kick 50 years ago. i'll concede that a lot of holding the ball situations today that were paid in the past are not being paid now. in most cases, this was done to streamline play, like giving players longer to dispose of the ball but other changes (interpretations) have just added to the inconsistency and subjectivity.
  10. macca, we won't know how clean they were at rio for probably 4 years. i think it's a great idea that they hang onto samples then retest them later when technology improves, but i wouldn't be confident in saying 98% or better are clean. agree other sports could do more as far as rio olympics are concerned i couldn't be more underwhelmed and not just because of peds
  11. if the afl want to have any credibility on social issues they first need to address their unhealthy association and reliance on gambling, rather than their feel-good, look-at-me tokenism
  12. with prior opportunity you still have to make a legitimate attempt at disposal (was discussed in media recently) sure, lewis was unlucky to get caught in a very good tackle but that's footy definite free kick for incorrect disposal
  13. in lewis's case the ball wasn't held to him, his arm was pinned and he didn't dispose of the ball correctly or attempt to, eventually letting it drop from his hands free every time
  14. swans certainly getting the worst of the umpiring
  15. or "Goodbye Melbourne's Roos"
  16. looked like a classic sling tackle to me, brian, including head hitting ground
  17. that sounds like a pile of ....er....fertiliser. oh, maybe you have a point there ernie
  18. it occurred to me it might be one of uncle bitters' relatives
  19. this scammer is sooo dumb they forgot to ask me for money - lol
  20. at this time of the year insiders only tell you what they would like you (or anyone) to believe in their best interests it's called posturing
  21. they've only stated that each pick trade must show a real benefit and not a sham
  22. or we could do a rewording of "farewell auntie jack"
  23. wagner white kent probably more i can't think of straight away
