Bitter but optimistic

Well here's an untold Uncle Bitter story, In the early 70's myself and my mate got [censored] as nits at the Croxton Park Hotel. My beautiful 16 year old girlfriend (later to be my beautiful wife, now my late wife) drove us, unlicensed, to Mernda. We weren't worried, in those days, we knew the coppers would have accepted that it was the best option. Different times. PS. My wife and I laughed about that for years. Sadly not enough years.

If it's a points issue, it's possibly [censored] poor communication or, at worst, carelessness - I've done the same. Vic Roads or whatever they are called are borderline incompetents.

Maybe it does! It could be an indicator to who is in line to replace Max in the future.

That was just [censored]

Could someone explain why Grundy was on the bench when Max went off ? Surely at that moment in the game someone should have adjusted the rotations

Max ?????

But .... it is easier to get a drink.

If we are as good as we think we are, we win this in a canter. PS ... I've gutted my Sportsbet account on this game

True enough ...... but i just despise Carlton.

I am ashamed to admit it .... but .....I was barracking for Geelong. I just wanted to see Carlton nutted on the line.

Is Big Joe playing for us tonight?

All over!!!!

It would be a thing of beauty.

BT- " .... he evacuates the ball . " Painful I would think.

[censored] !!! That picture is disgusting !!!!

If he doesn't play it must be due to either the injury or conditioning. If it's either of those why would you subject him to an unnecessary 2 plus hours each way sitting on an aeroplane?

Good to see you're back in business Luci.

That's very clever Stiffy!!!! And ......sadly .... no doubt correct.

I see McAdam got 3 games. Do they work on some sort of number sequence at AFL. There's no other explanation !! [censored] me! Can they get sillier?!!!!!

It's not me!!

Just watching "On the couch" . They asked fake Brownlow Medalist Cripps for his view on the Kozzi ( and another ) hit. A bit like getting the wolf's opinion on what sort a job the fox did in the chook house FM !!!!

Fair enough Dub but every time players tackle or clash in an aerial contest there is potential for injury. These are big hard bodied athletes moving at high speed. There are numerous opportunities for bad outcomes from innocent acts. What concerns me is that once litigators / lawyers get into the act the game will change fundamentally. I hope this doesn't sound like I'm going down the the reductio ad absurdum track but once some sort of a lawsuit occurs will we get to the point where tackling is litigated out of the game ?

Nah! That lot appears quite normal compared to what I described.

I really don't get how you can be punished on the basis of what might be. Either the other party was injured/concussed or not. Is intent somehow being read into this?

That's them. You're all over it Dub!
