DEE fence

i actually thought the worm turned for Bernie yesterday, please eatch the replay again (its not quite so hard om the heart) i saw enough. Watts and Salem in Stretch Hannan and Wagner out (allthough only Wagner stank), and the mystery 3rd spot goes to someone who deserves a chance. either Trengove or JKH. Viney needs another week not based on anything other than how he plays and a guess at the pain he is in.

This is Gold- sage for the age!

i hear you brother, confess to being weak and checking 1st before starting the replay

Totally disagree, I am totally fine with journo's being held to account, there is a difference between writing about football, which anyone can do, and you don't need a press pass from the AFL to do this. Without doubt and frequently journo's have had axes to grind over perceived or real sleights. A journo losing a press pass would be forced to be a bit more accountable and bring some reasonable attention to his antics. it is not like they are talking of barring them from the ground, they could still do their job. Obviously if it was run in a DPKR style then the AFL is going to cop it, so I think their would be some natural selection in play, but I really would like to see some of the terrible journalism held to account. the WP or NYT they are not. EDIT: If someone has another sanction for media other than black balling a press pass - I'm happy to hear it, but i still think a press pass is a courtesy and not a necessity (By the way I have never met Gil and he doesn't look like me)

Rapt, testament to hardwork.

the only problem is a bike in Rome is a Magic Carpet, i came unstuck.. litterally going down a steep dry grass hill on road tyres on a 220kg bike. Before and After Photos (Abruzzo Mountains shortly before i got the helicopter view ;-(

Sherlock Holmes is correct

i justed busted my collarbone in 4 places, sitting in hospital after surgery, feel like throwing up at the thought of playing, Hogan is made of stone

i'm on board with Gil, there has to be some accountability, and journos bleat like lambs when criticised (robbo a prime example) but they really do harm with some of the crap they peddle. and hardly Gestapo, if someone is talking crap about you you're simply asking them to leave your house. nothing says they cant keep writing.

I find it interesting (and I know I can sound like a patronising git - this isn't meant to be) that people have such a different perspective on the same incident. Several respected posters saying the same thing has had me look at it another dozen times and I still see a very intentional dog act. To me this is so much clearer than the Schofield cheap shot to Olivers' jaw. I want a few of you my jury when I get done for murder, that is for sure.

yes I really do, Dalhaus had look on his face, oh merde, he knew exactly where it was going. Greene is a sniper of the 1st order.

Toby Greene's action was deliberate and outside of the rules. I reckon it was two weeks, he is a nasty dirty player. He is skilful enough he knew exactly what he was doing. Maybe people need to be coached on how to play this leg out tactic. A bit of lateral pressure to the knee from a fist would be fair, might make Greene think twice. As I am still scarred by the 2000 GF, if we play GWS in the finals we smash him off the 1st bounce legal or not legal. I know this is a terrible thing to say but I truly think Greene is a dog of the 1st order. He is as lethal as Mitchell, Lewis Hodge have ever been. Wines, a bit cheap, needed a week.

So the thing that stood out for me on the replay, after Gus gets a bump, Gawn running past and givining him a tap on his noggin, absolute gold, had me chuckling, Gawn is one of our heart beats without doubt, love the bloke. Commentators were funny as well, "don't pat him on the head pat him on the bum".

and your authorized to judge why? just be happy they turned up

Hi Praha, time difference missed your query, thanks LT, if I remember correctly there was nerve damage that could not be repaired I don't think it was a case of poor rehab to be fair.

Tingay, sliding doors though, this is if he didn't have that terrible accident, guy was a pure jet. Gerard Healy went ok too even if he did leave us. Oliver doesn't have a roof yet, that is pretty exciting.

So I saw the Oils at the Olympia in Paris, they played everything I wanted to hear, pretty fit bunch of 60 somethings. (It was funny the age of the crowd - plenty of receding hairline or no hair and glasses ;-) ) and had a pretty stella time for the rest of the stay all though I must say it is a 4 qtr effort keeping up with the French.

my thought too, although I reckon Jetta could handle Tony Atm. Personally would like to see Viney clean him up in the Prelim... But no report thanks

another poster touched on this but I think you might have something. I really felt JT is a safe pair of hands to relieve pressure as well.

Just asking but does anyone think we managed the trip to Darwin, while not tanking, but being a little bit conservative with an eye towards the bigger picture, i.e. September? I thought the difference in the week was amazing as was the efforts, and I don't think we are flukey any more, just good.

So the new French Demons(paid up member) fan has promised not much sleep...

So I arrive in Paris on Sunday, (going to watch the Midnight Oil show-super excited to see the last last tour) will watch the replay with a very new Melbourne member.

Gold.

is there a link, most of this year I haven't got worked up about the MRP but since Oliver I am totally over it as a even handed process because the precedents are so inconsistent and media driven.

Very happy with this, I admit I'm a tragic, and spew every time someone calls footy a business, but 3 jacks in your hand, is a strong hand!
