Andrew Gaff
From Peter Cavenās Wiki page... āCaven was the victim of an infamous act of AFL thuggery when St Kilda's Tony Lockett struck him viciously in the face and broke his cheek-bone during a game in 1994. Lockett was handed a heavy suspension of eight weeks for the incident. In an absurd twist, Caven was forced to issue an apology to Lockett the following week after appearing on comedy television show Denton and, at the urging of host Andrew Denton, bashing an effigy of Lockett with a baseball bat. The following season, Caven and Lockett were team-mates at Sydney.ā

Didnāt Plugger Lockett poleaxe a Swans player with similar results the season before he moved to the Swans? Iām pretty sure they kissed and made up during the preseason.

My 3 word player analysis V The Crows
Jetta rarely sighted?? Have to strongly disagree on that one.

Losing Jack Viney
With Brayshaw's rise, I think we actually miss Jack far less than we do, say, Lever. Gaff will be a great addition (note my severe case of optimism) and will make our midfield almost invincible.

Umpire Report
I'm not saying that the free count was fair, they weren't consistently applied and that is something that is seen in ALL games (although at 30-24, a six free kick discrepancy between the two teams is hardly extreme)... however, I am saying that the idea that there is some sort of conspiracy working against the MFC is preposterous. We were our own worst enemies and that is down to the fact that we had almost double the number of 50 entries (68 to 39) and yet failed to convert them into scoring opportunities; there was nowhere near the number of frees against that could account for that. We should have been in an almost unbeatable position by half time.

Umpire Report
Absolutely laughable post. Take off your tin foil hat and ask yourself how we could lose that game with the clearances and inside fifties advantage we had. If our forwards had bothered to show up, we should have been far enough ahead for the frees to have had little to no effect on the final result.

The Soccer thread
The Colombian's was definitely a reflex action coupled with an arm going out for balance as he attempted to defend... I cannot believe that the VAR is utilised when it shouldn't have been (in the case of the Australia game and possibly the Korea game?), yet not utilised in the case of the Colombian send off when it probably should have been. It's an absolute joke and just one more reason to become more and more disillusioned with the (not so) beautiful game, never mind all of the diving that appears to have been taken to a new level (is that even possible?).

So you donāt regard football as entertainment, but rather as a metaphor for lifeās struggles?

Demons on Masterchef (16/5/18)
Just saw an ad on TV for Masterchef where the contestants will be cooking at the MCG and it will feature Jones as a guest judge... also the menās and womenās teams will be involved as the guinea pigs.

Salem ready to make his mark
Agreed... but relatively minor transgressions at AFL and VFL level that each resulted in one week bans, is hardly enough of a reason to go questioning the mental state of a player.

Salem ready to make his mark
Yes, a thyroid issue and a couple of blown hammies are hardly issues related to a player's headspace. In this instance I'd have to say that I don't think it's Salem that needs to get his head right.
