Ditto for me using firefox on mac. I think sometimes the page may appear eventually.

I don't disagree with much of that. But I think Green wasn't actually saying give us 3 picks and a deal will be done. Perhaps he was a bit clumsy, but I think he only meant that there will be a high price to pay.

Obviously there is an element of risk with any pick and that single example proves nothing other than you can get it wrong in hindsight. Perhaps you'd care to suggest what we might demand other than picks? Maybe tell WA "you can have Kozzie for one or two of your best established players that fill a need for us". Good luck arranging that.

Very droll. But I think the wide readership of Binman's posts prove the contrary.

I'm tempted to paste here a long article on the psychology of people who pretend never to read replies.

It would help keep readers away who are not interested in betting themselves, but who do have views of AFL gambling, if the title of the thread was clearer.

As I posted elsewhere: With all respect and sympathy for Jagga Smith, thank god a Carton player was injured. (yes, I am cynical.)

So we get Jai Culley. With all respect and sympathy for Jagga Smith, thank god a Carton player was injured.

Moreover, why is there a cut off date before the first match of the season at all? I presume there may be a rationale, but I've no idea what it could be.

https://www.afl.com.au/news/1271028/clubs-to-push-for-rule-change-after-late-injuries Maybe there is some hope of this getting up since it would help Carlton. Any C'wood or Essendon players injured recently?

I usually avoid match day threads (for reasons which don't need much imgaination to guess), but I'm following this one out of footy deprivation. Are these established AFL umpires, or some newbies?

Some have said. he will be in the Round 1 team. But skills aside, will he learn enough of our game plan etc in the few weeks remaining?

Good to see the AFL have confirmed the 10am start. While not defending either MFC's website in general (or North's) for being so quiet, it could be that they could say nothing until the AFL had signed off on the 'rumour'. I see that the Carlton StKilda game is still at 11. Will be interesting to see if Melb beats North in getting it onto their websites......

Or you could argue getting a reasonable number of goals in a pi$$ poor team is pretty good going. Presumably in a poor team the ball was up the other end most of the time and delivery forward was poor.

It's serious when someone has to be put in a cart and wheeled off.

I'd rather them than those who always look for the darkside. It's not as if those "positive, idealistic well meaning supporters" posting here have any effect on what the team does.

And I don't post anything.

Don't worry, the AFL will change the rules to make scoring goals easier. How about 10m between goal posts.

That 'reduce the supply and demand goes up' is about the silliest thing I've heard since turning on the news since 20 Jan. I suppose we'll also pay more for tickets if they reduce the supply.

It must take a lot of thought to write a self-contradictory sentence like that.

I suspect the lack of shepherding these days is because the player disposing of the ball instead tries to run to space to offer an option to receive again. In days of yore, there was more emphasis on kicking it forward asap, so protecting the player about to kick was more important.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14215413/AFL-Christian-Petracca-marries-Bella-Beischer-Melbourne.html The journos must be on holiday. Where is the story listing all the Demon players who are not in the photo and speculating stating their absence shows MFC is in chaos.

Has the Premiership winner always been great in all phases of the game. Or just great in one, and pretty good in the others? Or even pretty good in all three?

Do you really think the few oddballs at the AGM really represent what has been wrong (or right) about the club and its elected officials? Sounds more like you are just looking for any evidence, no matter how irrelevant, to support your views.
