Hearing date announced (Dec 15th): http://www.sportsnews.com.au/afl/december-15-for-asada-hearing/130449

So Samantha did jettison a jetta son... congrats!

Where was that stated? Saty mentioned Toumpas had gastro issues... but as far as I'm aware,that's not a euphemism for anything else (or did I miss something?).

There is only one thing in those photos that really irritates me... the mention of Nathan Jones as co-captain. As far as I'm concerned, until someone proves otherwise, there is currently no-one worthy of sharing the captaincy with him (it really is a shame the club doesn't see it that way).

So could Joh Bjelke Petersen

MFC has said: "If Evans does nominate for the national draft, the Club will give due consideration to a Rookie List position for him"

Well, one fact... Werridee is an appropriate name for you... you are full of it.

Well, it sure as hell isn't funny, and as turtles aren't a particularly bountiful food source in Central Australia, I guess racial stereotyping is the go?

Yes, the whole affair is morphing into a Shakesperean drama.

If we can win the first two games against GC and GWS and gain some momentum, then 10-12 wins must be achievable putting us close to the 8... however, if we don't, I fear we will finish bottom 4 again.

In news to hand (and this is actually from the court proceedings transcript available in Real Footy): At 10:30am: "Peter Hanks QC (aka Dennis Denuto and representing Hird) begins outlining his client's submission. He cites a case that involved a challenge by a land owner to an order made to the land commissioner." As I understand it, said land owner was none other than Darryl Kerrigan.

Apparently Hird is being represented by a Dennis Denuto who will be using Mabo as a precedent; Denuto was heard to mumble something about "the vibe".

Is this really the end game, or is it just the first in a long drawn out series of appeals?

Yes, looks far more dangerous than surfing... now, where's that "rolls eyes" emoticon when you need it.

Yes you will... you know you will

So, the word of a "physio mate" has more credibility?

Jeebus... just one day into the pre-season and the knives are out already. Got to love MFC "supporters" (and I use that term advisedly).

I don't know if it was mentioned anywhere in this thread already, but according to a tweet I just saw from Jack Trengove, round 1, 2015 will apparently be Lumumba's 200th game.

They should be offering him a 6 year deal he cannot refuse. I think a return of 3 blueys on the trot should give them the confidence that he is worth the risk.

Let alone great harm upon the kids who play the game.

Sorry, but I can see the meme artists having a field day with that.

The time may be ripe to introduce a team from Tasmania.

Well, we have 2 rookie spots open, so it is not beyond the realms of possibility I suppose.

Edited for accuracy.

I think it's what they like to refer to as "an old chestnut".
