  1. I just cannot see how that could happen as it is each and every player's responsibility to understand what is going into their body in terms of medication etc. If they did miraculously get off, I think the outcry would be deafening and appeals almost instantaneous.
  2. http://www.smh.com.au/technology/sci-tech/scientists-know-there-are-more-giant-craters-in-siberia-but-are-nervous-to-even-study-them-20150226-13q7b5.html
  3. The Sydney/NSW Demons get together on game day every week at the Camelia Grove Hotel in Erskinville to watch on the big screen (assuming they haven't changed venues for this season). I've only been the once,but it was an enjoyable time and they're a great bunch. It's a nice pub too... used to play there in a rockabilly band a couple of decades or so ago.
  4. If the courts don't put him on such a program, I would actually like to see the club get him involved in some sort of community service assisting victims of accidents caused by drunk drivers. He learns a valuable lesson, the club gets a positive public profile and the club, the supporters and Jeff himself get to benefit from his being available to play an uninterrupted season.
  5. 6 wins against Victorian sides (including at least one at Etihad) and at least 2 wins interstate.
  6. Agree OD (question was purely rhetorical)... as the old saying goes, you don't have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.
  7. I can't help but wonder what comments we would be seeing from posters here if there was a match against Carlton next week and Garlett had not left them for us.
  8. I saw Chain at Bluesfest last year NB... you will love them. If anything, Phil Manning has improved since the old days (or maybe the technology just makes him sound better?).
  9. AFL Live are offering a 4 week free trial so that you get the entire NAB Challenge free... you register or login at the AFL site (www.afl.com.au/livepass), enter a promo code: NAB2015 and download the app.
  10. Yep, the Titans were on the way out regardless due to poor attendances, poor membership numbers, etc. The scandal just hastened their demise as they had nowhere to train (the school where they did train gave them the boot the minute the news broke) and I believe sponsors were jumping ship... the NRL had no choice but to jump in and it is probably the best thing that could happen for that club. The Bombers on the other hand... over the top attendances, over the top memberships, over the top performance enhancement program, over the top resistance, etc... the world was their oyster... they can expect little to no support.
  11. Terrible news. My heart goes out to him and to the entire family.
  12. Use the jumpers they had for the Shanghai clash... I have Warnock's (#1) from the auction.
  13. It's a grand old sign! No... it's a high flying sign!
  14. Correction EH... this SITE is not the place for rational thoughts ;-)
  15. Yes, a very pleasant person is our Saty... I'm hoping to catch up with him again on my upcoming foray southward with my son, for the opening round (down on Friday and back on Monday).
  16. "Nine Victorian AFL clubs have been cleared of alleged breaches of occupational health and safety but the Victorian WorkCover Authority's probe into Essendon and the AFL continues." http://www.smh.com.au/afl/afl-news/nine-afl-clubs-cleared-but-workcover-probe-into-essendon-afl-continues-20150223-13mict.html
  17. Hey Crankster... just where is it you think you've been logging on to over the past few days prior to "just..."?
