The Lobster Effect

Has anyone seen the VFL game on channel 7 b/n coburg and werribee showing some of the trial rules? The expanded goal square looks ridiculous!

I don't like the focus on percentage/a big win for this game. Let's just aim for the 4 points.

That's why our club doctors earn the big bucks. Pressure on them to make the right call either way.

Would love to see AVB get a game

Sun's on fire this quarter! (yes, the sun is a boiling mass of fire)

Yep that's right. "Under the draft bidding system, all clubs have the right to bid for academy and father-son players in the draft but a club with priority over the player has the right to match the draft pick with their own draft pick or picks to achieve the points required to secure the player (all draft picks are given a points value)." https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/afl-draft-pool-drained-by-academies-20180502-p4zcxn.html Here's an interesting map that shows which clubs have access to what across Australia. I'm sure there's going to be some unfair advantages. http://www.afl.com.au/news/game-development/nab-afl-rising-star-program/nga-clubacademies Next generation AFL club academies – Victorian clubs region allocation Western Bulldogs – Western Melbourne, Wimmera, Mallee, South West Victoria, Ballarat, (North Ballarat Rebels & Western Jets) Essendon – North West Melbourne (Calder Cannons), West Arnhem (NT) Melbourne – South East Melbourne (Dandenong Stingrays), Alice Springs (NT) Collingwood – Central Melbourne (Oakleigh Chargers), Barkly (NT) St Kilda – Inner Southern Melbourne (Sandringham Dragons), Frankston LGA North Melbourne – Melbourne and Wyndham LGAs (Calder Cannons & Western Jets) Hawthorn – Eastern/Whitehorse LGAs (Eastern Ranges), Gippsland (Gippsland Power), Katherine (NT) Carlton – Northern Melbourne (Northern Knights) Geelong – Geelong /Hampden (Geelong Falcons), East Arnhem (NT) Richmond – Goulburn Murray, Bendigo, Sunraysia, North Central (Bendigo Pioneers and Murray Bushrangers)

It's a shame Caleb Daniel was injured as imagine him on Tom Boyd's shoulders for the man on the mark...

Surely Freo aren't that good, it;s just Carlton playing crap? It's not like their form in Melbourne's been great. Good luck to Bolton in his press conference haha

I don't think Dew rejected the job but Sydney stood in his way as he was contracted at the time (there's a gentleman's agreement that clubs should let contracted assistants leave if they're going for other senior coaching jobs but Sydney argued it technically wasn't a senior coaching job due to the succession plan).

That's ridiculous! VFL tv fixturing just as bad as the AFL...

Is that because he's skinny?

Maybe he's still growing?

Underrated is Jake the Snake.

Jake Lovett. I think we made the right call

I see he goes to Matthew Bate's hairdresser

if you have a spare 45 min this doco is pretty sobering, set in sydney Four Corners - The ice age

what did he say in his book that changed your view?

In his defence the tablets could have just been for personal consumption, however the law draws the line at 2 grams "The report said Cousins was strip searched by officers at around 7.30pm last night, who found methamphetamine and other identified tablets. WA law states that anyone in possession of more than two grams of the drug be charged with intent to sell or supply. The former West Coast, was said to have been charged with possession of an illegal drug. He was due in court next week in Kalgoorlie, after being released on bail." http://www.sportsnewsfirst.com.au/articles/2012/03/28/cousins-arrested-on-drugs-charges/
