  1. Yes. You are missing the corruption and ineptitude of the MRP MRO position: could not not suspend him but absolutely zero doubt had a Demon done the deed it would have been "inexcusable, dangerous- 3-4 weeks", but a franchise precious, despite having a poor record, gets a soft penalty.
  2. [re May's late high hit] Should get three given his record, but using the Walker precedent of one week (as Adelaide were playing Demons in two) May will get a fine (as Suns are playing Demons in one).
  3. I must say that prior to last year's finals I thought that Tex was pretty good as a player and a leader, but 1. his GF "performance" (if one could call it that), and; 2. his hypocritical carry on over Lever (after getting Gibbs in very similar circumstances, acknowledging age differences), I changed my mind. He is a sook as a leader and a soft KPP forward.
  4. As I recall Gil played Amateur football VAFA : the feeder competition, VFL, being allowed to continually have multiple byes in a season is one more example of a professional grade competition being run by amateurs. Good call DOF VandenBerg has a huge upside and maybe it is time to roll the dice and see what he can give us. I am 100% certain he will give his all.
  5. I remember that. Wasn’t he referred to as “water boy”? All part of the focus that turned a good ordinary player into a champion.
  6. It was certainly innovative and spectacular, but technically it was a throw. Hear here. It is our next big challenge. We are capable of matching it with the best, but are not ruthless.
  7. I have heard a bit about that in Thailand .... though I think a similar suggestion got a Mr Musk into hot water recently. He was fantastic for an injured man in that last contest, though he needs to learn to handball both hands.
  8. Crows were throwing it quite a bit in Q4 (all I have seen so far) but only two were paid, against Jones who failed to control a slippery bar of soap, andFrost who I must say I thought handballed it.
  9. Frankly, who actually cares what Bartlett thinks? I certainly do not. ?
  10. ITS A GRAND OLD FLAG WELL DONE GUYS 5TH AT LEAST FOR NOW
  11. OMG -- grabbed it
  12. FFS no way that was a throw agains Jones Cheating bastards
  13. Speaking too soon again And now they HTB and get the free Criminal |Robbery
  14. GIFT HTB to Walker No way HTB Handballed it
  15. In the back to Salem not paid
  16. Next 5 actually
  17. Great pressure Spartacus And another free - no way deliberate in these conditions
  18. Frees now running to script thanks Gillon
  19. Oscar can remain a defender :-(
  20. cant stand this kick a friggin goal
  21. OMG --- all tooooo fanmiliar Pull your bloody fingers out!!!!!
  22. rule 101a ... and even less logic when it comes to MFCSS
  23. Gill and his henchmen just will not allow that to happen. I agree totally that the Bernie / Danger thing was ridiculously overblown by the press*, but surely it is OK (even good) to have a laugh when you chalk up a somewhat unexpected and emphatic win. * one of the great traditions that remains in our game despite administrators trying to stuff it up completely through incompetence or ego, is that players usually can mix after the game.
  24. Certainly if we can keep on winning anything is possible. We had our fate in our hands last year and fluffed it: the players keep on about being gutted, so they had better bloody well show it for the next 2 ½ months !
  25. Should go for two for that, but Merrett should get one for the staging from the one at first bounce.
