At Least I Saw a Flag

That display of batting, from both teams yesterday was some of the worst I've ever seen. Only a touch over 70 overs bowled and 19 wickets! Coupled with the 1st India v South Africa Test it doesn't do much for the health of the game.

Carey's shot in particular in the last 15 minutes of the day was particularly inexcusable!

It's a long way back for them from here, and I reckon over these next 3 summers (including this one) we're about to see 6 of our best XI ushered into retirement.

Fourth test v England.

Australian batsmen say hello !!!

Nobody loved RF more than me but this is like living in Groundhog Day with endless repeats of Robbie & Ox.

Lets appreciate our current heroes or even some that rarely get mentioned - loved the Bob Johnson & Hassa Mann reviews.

Not true. I loved RF more than you.

He was in my daughter's grade at primary school. From memory he played the violin.

Some US sports team uses this song as a 'send off' after wins.

This ain’t Dub’s first rodeo.

One only has to be on DL for five minutes after joining and they’re fully schooled on MFCSS and its attendant misery.

PS: you’re quoting Ted Mulry? The same Ted Mulry who offered a girl a lift in the pouring rain only to ditch her when he found out how far away she lives, that Ted Mulry??? Your quoting game needs lifting 🙃

The expression "de mortuis nil nisi bonum" springs to mind ....

PS: genuine question for @At Least I Saw a Flag …

Why did you elect to post a comment in this thread that wasn’t exclusively pertaining to this thread? Everyone knows MFCSS can and is mentioned in pretty much every thread.

A fair bit better

It's called MFCSS

As Ted Mulry said/sang in "Falling in Love Again" ... "that feeling's got a name".

I thought it my duty to apprise DD of the name of the feeling.

He's a ripper!! Looks like a 200+ player ... hopefully all with the Dees !!!

I don't like/trust their coach either. Mortein required.

Disgusting individual.

Now, just pizz off.

To add insult to injury, I got swooped by a freakin magpie on Wednesday while cycling.

Yikes, Claz is making his eagerness to bro-down with JUH very public now(instagram).

Best of luck with that GWS 😬

What could possibly go wrong?

I mean JUH did a pretty nice one to the dogs.

He obviously didn't write it.

Seems to get the ball OK, but a turnover merchant ... kicking + decision making not good.

Hopefully he can improve with a change of club.

Nearly up to 100 pages in this thread.

It can be inferred by conduct. It doesn't have to be what you've stated.

It can indeed. But there would have to be conduct consistent with an intention to not fulfil the terms of the contract.

Very much an uncontested player which may limit his potential to go through the midfield.

Still a role for an excellent kick off the half backline or wing, perhaps not to dissimilar to Roberts from the bombers.

That doesn't seem to prevent a player from coming second in the Brownlow !!!

Yes, where it’s both the club and player agreeing to not see out the life of a contract (except financially which I think is dumb) vs one party not fulfilling an obligation. Which is my very original point: neither club has to agree to do this.

Agree with you BoBo.

It's not an anticipatory breach where one party simply asks the other for its agreement to mutually end the contract. An anticipatory breach would be where the player says "I'm not playing for you (club) next season without your (the Club's) agreement."

Jee-long must have really hated that slap with a wet lettuce.

Is it my imagination, or is there more happening in the trade period this year than previous years?

We won't get Humphrey.

sos fkd him over for his son bottom line

i dont see us going here because of the fact we pulled out on derksen and may hasnt found a suitor, probably also with king telling everyone to get real and put petty where he belongs

also think he has a bit of the frosts about him, he runs without direction and then coughs it up either with a handball to grass or with a a kick for distance

will definitely find a home though, dons/blues/pies/dogs/roos all should be having a look eagles, swans should be asking the question

This ^

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away and know when to run
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done

Sadly I think there's little chance of him coming to MFC.
