monoccular

Qantas will remain reasonably happy. They had upgraded some of their 737s to 330s Friday Perth to Melbourne and would have to have rescheduled had Norf got up.

Both Preliminary Finals were disgracefully over umpired, especially Friday night. Let us hope that the GF is different and allowed we'd to flow.

How could the maggots miss the head high bump by del Santo on Kennedy. Could be poetic justice though - del may have corked himself.

.....and instead the AFL want to dig deeper into the cesspit and add an extra maggot each game - ie a 25% dilution of the already thin pickings.

presumably that danger was not in the sea but in a field

IF we could be absolutely certain that Carlsle wouldn't be doing something else "for a lengthy period" such as serving a WADA suspension, then yes, it would at least be worthy of some consideration. But we can't so for me it has to be a NO.

All this 'he' 'him' - presumably you are referring to Harmes. Way way ahead of Jones and Terlich I would have thought.

Few here would actually know where he is up to. He was as I recall a bit of a surprise selection in the first place. Will leave it to our professional experts to asses his worth going forward.

Lyon - the perpetual bridesmaid.

Maybe some retiring Docker can give Mitchell a hell of a cork with his knee to put him out of the GF. Would be peptic justice.

In the very unlikely event of Norf upsetting Weagles I reckon WA will secede from the Commonwealth.

Pavlich needs to PHFO. Though too late now. Need 4 goal in 8 minutes.

Choke by Sheridan of Normanic proportions

Pity the Dockers can't kick set shots. Clear in the back to Walters in front of goal. No free RIGGED. CORRUPT AFL Then a nothing free to Hale in a pack marking contest.

How can Suckling be allowed to fun off his mark after the siren? Over umpired except when it counts. Bloody disgrace.

No 50 when the hawk comes in on the mark from behind? Would have been paid the other way

The (just joking) "Integrity Folk" at AFL will look at it and say "no case to answer" But seriously we couldn't have an all WA GF - just wouldn't do. Ps. The game is being grossly over umpired.

The usual massive home ground umpiring bias is totally reversed clearly the AFL do not want an all WA GF and have instructed the maggots to ensure that.

So, breaking a hand makes one "injury prone"!!!

The censorship is presumably some automaton- you seem to have been using a term that is used in the context of something that one shouldn't do to a dead horse, or would do so in vain. A bit like it doesn't allow the noun for a person that tosses something. Or the given name of the Essendon (pre EssUndone) Brownlow winner of the early 1950s, Mr Reynolds. Not sure about Mr Robin who announced that the sky was falling - I will try it: [censored] Robin. All too PC really, but that us where the world is heading.

** on a reputedly ten year contract. A decade for a 27 year old by my calculations brings him to 37 yo at the end of the contract- does anyone seriously think that, even the recent revelations aside, he could have played until he was 37??? Harvey, Fletcher yes but Franklin??? And of course the contract is Kosher and the Swans' salary cap is Kosher (COLA aside). And Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are as true as the Tooth Fairy :-))))

Some interesting comments there - do you seriously believe that the three strike policy is administered in an impartial, integrity driven manner by the AFL?? Really?? Truly?? For superstars??

I am not sure either, nor is anyone posting here, really. Only time will tell.

He was missed far more than many would have thought Best 22 of our current mob, IMVHO

Whilst I am a genuine pedant, just maybe autocorrect has had some influence. Can do strange things, sometimes. Seems a pretty reasonable summation But the usual suspects will no doubt come out with "I told you so " or some variant.
