I hate these cryptic responses... what incident might that be for those of us out of the loop?

In which case the issue would clearly be that they are not being enforced. The culture can only change when any wavering from the values is dealt with.

Pot, kettle, black.... anyway, both sides are desperate to find a win and are trying first gamers in the hope that they might revitalise seemingly disinterested playing groups - because obviously (and particularly with the Saints - ours being injury driven), things just aren't working as they are now - if they had dropped Goddard (who probably deserves to be dropped), then I might subscribe to your lack of respect theory. I'm glad Newton has been retained, but I'm a little disappointed Gawn isn't getting a run (even as a sub). The only real surprise for me in the Saints side is that they dropped Gram, who if I'm not mistaken, generally turns in a good performance against us.

Well, the highest profile wrestling referee back in the Jack Little and World Championship Wrestling days went by that very name (in fact he owned a gym up at the old City Baths if I recall correctly). However, I think if he just rearranged his name, he might do well... Evan Michaels. Could work.

And let's not forget Uncle Doug Elliot, the Huttons Footy "frangers" (as Lou would occasionally refer to them), the Don smallgoods etc. Yep, Bobby will certainly be missed, but he leaves behind so many good memories for those of my vintage.

I want to sack the Minister for Education.

Not the birthday present he would have wanted.

Unfortunately Davey made some poor decisions early on that directly contributed to opposition goals. Sylvia and Jones (and Davey to an extent) can hold their heads up, but the rest of the leadership group may as well have not turned up.

What was that about potshots?

Ok, I apologise for not reading the 8 pages of comments before responding to your comment. We are all unhappy with their performance, just that some of us prefer to keep it a little under control.

As shown by your non-attendance

Rhaz... go back and edit your post

Wonna should have got the free for that tackle he laid

Warnock is doing very well in the last line

I'm liking Newton's aggression

Jones is fast becoming one of our best kicks

Garland had treatment on ankle and is back on.

Well, I liked this... funniest thing I've seen on this site in a long time.

Or, if you really want to be pedantic, as it is a single word, it should probably be neither "Ht" nor "ht", but "h" And HT, I actually find AFL360 to be a little too opinionated to be a good source of analysis - not to mention that fact that I find Robbo a little unsettling, as I continually find myself waiting for him to start weeping as he becomes all reflective about what a great game AFL is etc etc.

I hope that "H" isn't a reference to me... last time I looked, McClure's not on AFL Teams either

They are in a position where they take a much broader view and do not have the blinkers on that many of us do - I do not dismiss their comments summarily simply because they are "Fox commentators" - I'm not saying you do this, but I find it funny that often people in these forums (Demonland and Demonology) will respect their views when they are positive or supportive of the MFC, yet as soon as they make a criticism, they are suddenly all idiots who have no clue. In this particular instance, what drew my attention to their comment was the fact that they were all in agreement, which is a very rare thing.

Put this is the wrong thread earlier: "Look Out!! There's Danger-afield!"

Sorry, I should have been more specific and repeated my earlier comment on the first page... it was the entire panel of the AFL Teams show on Foxtel.

Banner could read: "Look Out!! There's Danger-a-field!"

Yep... eyesight plus the fact that bate seems to be the whipping boy, so my perception monitor was out of whack (I took it to be a reference to Bate's worth as a tackler) - my apologies :-)
