monoccular

Rather like Druggies v Filth ANZAC, this became “traditional” after about one or two years.

Really?

steve - maybe you missed the irony there?

And a Coleman?

IF not, and if. Regardless, trash journalism. That is a very easy question. A doctor's prime responsibility is always to his patient. That is why I remain absolutely astounded that AHPRA (the "national medical board" in effect) turned a blind eye to Dr Reid during the Essendrug saga. Astounding head in sand effort in my view.

Do you know that? Perhaps all parties felt his mental health could be assisted by returning to WA.

Perfect fit for Magpies leadership. Seriously? Dunn equivalent to Lever? I am glad that everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

All good points, re big games, though in fairness Jesse never had the opportunity to stand up or not in a final.

Not buying any dangerous tools, hopefully.

Mazer Rackham - brilliant summation of where successive administrators are taking our beautiful game. Your last sentence summed it all up "Our biggest problem is that Gil is in spirit more of a marketer than a sports administrator."

The King twins have only just been drafted. Presumably you are referring to the two Kings we had? And anyway, you base your premise on what? The fact he hasn't played much footy, only basketball? What, like Mason Cox for example?

And one can almost name the players now - Dangerfield, Martin, any GW$ player, etc etc

MFCSS would surely put that as 100% certainty :-(

Robot Presumably the only reason that the AFL logo is not on that brilliant sheet is due to copyright laws. Clearly drawn up specifically for the current AFLHQ regime.

Christian and Catholic conspirators? ?

Bloody corrupt the Tribunal and the MRP. GW$ key player rounders an opponent who gets helped off the field - no penalty. MFC player braces for impact, contacts neck (at highest) of an opponent who then runs off the field - one week. Consistency??

Z E R O Does this mean Petty or Frost plays? (Haven't seen any of the preseason).

Burnside maybe?? :-) The MRP (or whatever the chumps choose to cal it this year) has gotten off to a great start consistency wise. Still, Mumford is important to the AFL's pet GW$$$, May plays for Melbourne, the AFL's whipping boy. Therein lies the difference.

"That goal", from a long bomb kick in, I think the first goal in the final v Geelong (or was it Hawthorn) was all about rapid fire ball use and not much about leg speed. It can be done but it requires all links in the chain to be mentally switched on and aware.

Did I miss something about a further reduction in rotations, hidden in the mindless plethora of rule changes?

Maybe scrap the off season too? ? 34 rounds, no byes, three finals rounds = 37: then “best of 15” Grand Finals would fill out the year. Could be 5 day, 5 twilight, and 5 night GFs ?

DD - that is very insulting to the many decent muddling morons going around. Sadly, Gil hasn’t yet left the job though he has already, ably aided by Shocking, built up a legacy of stuffups and unnecessary fiddling.

?????

Hopefully, ina footy forum, dropkick will be permitted by the censor, even if not by any modern day coach.

Just one thing is absolutely certain, jumbo - nobody can tell at this stage.
