monoccular

Who says we don't need a quality big defender?

Agree Jaded. Cannot kill

Dropping the ball in our goal square not paid AFL DESPERATE FOR QLD TO SUCCEED

Zirco is just a cheat

Just a bloody cheat.....but it takes gullible maggots for him to do it

do you have a bro, Barney? Maybe you two. At least these guys have played AFL.

Not enough scoreboard pressure

ANB held no free. Too close to goal?

Maggots have just one technical skill - bouncing the ball. Just not up to it.

Great pressure JW4

Ducked and didn't ever get him round the nexk - free. Goal. ?

WTF that boundary ruck free?

Harvey way ahead in my view - filthy little sniper who niggles and biffs then whingers to the maggots when retaliated against. Mitchell for his sneaky kneeing also highly rated.

Many thanks for the reports Others have asked too - did the Weed play? Not mentioned in dispatches.

WTF was that deliberate - bloody disgrace.

Sideney really move the ball well from the HB line.

No second / back up ruck. Whilst many bag Pedersen he does the job. Does anyone have any info re his "illness"?

Maybe you miss my point - he appears by all accounts to be ready, AND this would be a suitable opposition to 're-debut' him, AND it would be good for marketing.

By all accounts his performances at Casey have been pretty good, and his fitness is up to scratch. IMO the club has missed an opportunity to lure another 5000, maybe 10000 patrons to what could be an otherwise awful game at an unsociable Sunday time slot by not bringing Jack back for this game.

I presume that your question is rhetorical. Clearly Gil's primary agenda is to ensure the survival and success of his marquee clubs and the rest can just take it or leave it. There can be no possible excuse for not scheduling a bye for both competing teams following a game in Darwin.....no excuse whatsoever. If I were to meet Peter Jackson I would ask him straight out - "Peter, why have you not demanded a bye (for both clubs) following the Darwin game. If not, why not. If so, what is Gil's response?" As far as Alice is concerned, this should be no greater problem for either club than any other interstate travel.

If the Darwin game is to continue, the AFL must in the interests of both teams and of OH&S schedule it immediately before the bye for both teams. Alice is a different story - not nearly so physically testing or draining.

Seraph - I suspect that barring injury, Brayshaw's second season would be as impressive as his first, but of course we will never know.

umps....smarter....than what? Amoeba? Exactly....but imagine the knee jerk reaction from HQ. It will soon become no contact allowed, like AusKick under 8s. Good idea, but I can't see the AFL ever taking that one on. A bit like their "clamp down on staging" a few years ago.....absolutely nothing ever happened. Because leaving the field is mandatory for blood rule, optional for injury.

And where does the AFL lie in this league table? - pretty high too, though probably little noticed outside Australia in world rankings. I think I recall that there was 'some unease' at Eddie's club when the two 'innocents' who were laced in NZ after ingesting lamb, or perhaps some other substances. But there were only two so the rule was not tested.

IF the bloody maggots paid the throws the differential would be the other way Of course they love the theatre of it all and do like being the center of attention I generally don't like seeing players injured, but really guys like this are dicing with death or at least serious injury, and their dangerous antics should not be encouraged by the authorities. Eventually one will get the injury they deserve In fact actively discouraging these antics, and my other pet hate, driving headlong head down into an opponent, is in the interests of all players. They should be penalized every time ... would soon stop.
