Re Oliver.. Of the players to have played more than 10 games this year, Clayton has the second lowest time on ground at 76.5%. Only Tyson is lower which is to be expected with his injury and return.

So.. in a few weeks Victorian nicotine addicts who are attempting to quit tobacco via use of a vapouriser will be required to adhere to the regulations designed for the deadly tobacco products that they are attempting to flee (never mind the crippling business regulations that will now also apply to the life saving industry). Money rules and replacing a billion dollar annual revenue stream isn't easy. Oh, and screw the addicts. Quit or die. Greedy governments plan to maxmise profits from tobacco: The 2017–18 Budget increases excise and excise equivalent customs duties taxed on a per kilogram basis.[1] This increase is in addition to the decision taken in the 2016–17 Budget to increase tobacco excise on all tobacco products, including cigarettes and RYO tobacco, by an additional 12.5 per cent on 1 September of each year from 2017 to 2020.[2] T It is also in addition to the biannual indexation of tobacco excise to average weekly ordinary time earnings on 1 March and 1 September each year. Meanwhile, rather than profiteering from it, enlightened governments plan to eradicate smoking using every tobacco harm reduction resource at their disposal: UK Govt. Tobacco Control Plan Vaping should be allowed in offices and enclosed public spaces in order to “maximise” access to safer alternatives to smoking, a Government plan says. Announcing a vision to create a “smokefree generation,” ministers set new targets to cut smoking rates by one quarter in adults - and to stamp out the habit among younger generations. The Tobacco Control Plan pledges to “maximise the availability of safer alternatives to smoking” and to support smokers turning to nicotine substitutes. In particular, it reminds employers that e-cigarette use is not covered by smokefree legislation - so should not be included in policies which ban smoking. Duncan Selbie, chief executive of PHE, said: "We are at a pivotal point where an end is in sight and a smoke-free generation a reality. But the final push, reaching the most vulnerable and disadvantaged, will undoubtedly be the hardest. Only by everyone pulling together can we hope to end the loss of life and suffering smoking has wreaked for far too long. Public Health England will do everything possible to make this happen." Simon Clark, director of smokers' group Forest, said: "The most important stakeholder is the consumer, yet they are routinely ignored by Government. Ministers should stop lecturing smokers and engage with them." UK Government embraces tobacco harm reduction (in all but name). ...this makes the UK Government the first in the world to adopt an official tobacco harm reduction agenda. The plan crystallizes the UK’s trajectory from almost prohibiting vapour products in 2010 to being the world’s most forward thinking and liberal on vaping today.

Demons!

Last years QB: 1st 2nd 3rd 4th

I'd be ok with giving one of our pp's to the Lions.

Ha, yeah for some reason I've had him as Pannell in my head for a while.

Just watched last years QB match. Pumped. I'd forgotten it was the one where Gawn smashed a bad bounce away and copped a 'what'd you do that for?!' whine from Pannell. Intrepid track watchers... Report for duty!

Legend.

The printed piece had The Fan part moved to a separate coloured header, but both printed and online are clearly not presented as 'this is serious (journalism). mum'. Filler for public holiday publication. Looking forward to Spencer getting further AFL game conditioning.

People rarely, if ever, say they aren't going to docklands because it's a few ks further.

My late hawthorn supporting grandmother almost disowned me when as a young tacker I snorted at her stuffed Matthews figure and labeled him nothing but a thug. I didn't really mean the 'nothing but', however it did define him so far as I was and am concerned.

No he's stating that Goodwin did not choose to single Jack out (as per the quote). Rather, that Watts performance required Goodwin to single him out.

Say goodbye to last years win over Hawthorn and replace it with a loss to Norf?

Daisy is fantastic on and off the field. @btdemon You can create a 'stream' to show any and all posts meeting various criteria. Mine is set up as below and shows content from every sub forum. No matter where I am I just click on the circled 'd' and get the latest posts at the top.

Late, but nice to hear you're off the smokes Ding. The UK used to ask people to estimate how many quit attempts they'd made only after they indicated in regular surveys that they had quit smoking. They then changed their surveys to capture active quit attempts. The number of recorded quit attempts before finally quitting (~20) was quadruple the estimates (~5) and, on average, took 4 years. The most common response given to people who indicate that they're addicted to smoking is 'Just quit'. Some can. Hundreds of millions can't. If my previous smoking levels were applied to the above data on quitting, I would have smoked another 72,800 cigarettes before being able to 'Just quit' (or maybe just die). These days, the only people who smoke are addicts. Maybe we can reduce their harm to themselves by orders of magnitude, and eliminate their harm to others? "Compared with full-time smokers, e-cigarette-only users had 97% lower levels of one toxic chemical, NNAL, that is strongly associated with lung cancer." http://www.itv.com/news/2017-02-07/vaping-is-far-safer-than-smoking-cigarettes/

You can get around it by perpetually signing up to the live pass free trial and then canceling before the billing begins if you don't mind the lunacy. For me in just meant that even though I wanted to, I haven't bothered watching any games over the summer so far and as a result neither have my little cousins. There is plenty of other sporting content available though ...

Very hazy but I thought Gawn helped win us that game. Looking at the stats not so much. I remember exiting an establishment later in the night with a couple of bombers supporters talking in front of me, 'Bloody Gawn.' I interjected with the only appropriate drunken victory cry .... 'GAWN!!!'

Trump for PM!

Well, the view results or show results button is effectively an abstain. Currently 7 people (5%) have abstained, 11 (8%) love it , 17 (13%) don't care, and 98 (74%) hate it. 133 total.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/02/health/e-cigarette-vape-njoy-bankruptcy.html?_r=0 But mounting evidence suggests vaping is far less dangerous than smoking, a fact that is rarely pointed out to the American public. Britain, a country with about the same share of smokers, has come to the opposite conclusion from the United States. This year, a prestigious doctors’ organization told the public that e-cigarettes were 95 percent less harmful than cigarettes. British health officials are encouraging smokers to switch. The American approach “is the same as asking, ‘What are the relative risks of jumping out a fourth story window versus taking the stairs?’” said David Sweanor, a lawyer with the Center for Health Law, Policy and Ethics at the University of Ottawa. “These guys are saying: ‘Look, these stairs, people could slip, they could get mugged. We just don’t know yet.’” That e-cigarettes are less harmful is a message American smokers rarely hear, partly because American regulation prevents it.

There isn't a checklist of questions with regards to substance declarations. Any and all substances administered in the last 7 days are required to be declared. " Athletes must declare any substance used in the last seven days including any substances for which they have a current and valid Therapeutic Use Exemption. Not declaring use may affect results management and have adverse consequences for the athlete. " Black and white.
