Sorry the trigger for the first test is a simple visual check of the TV footage. Even if not clear the duty of the health professional is to err on the side of caution. It's medical care 101... not brain surgery (deliberate pun) -
Wow LH Holidaying in Glasgow... Not sure what to say Bloody hot here on the equator..... ice in one's vodka and tonic quickly disappears and the local whisky is terrible Enjoy yourself
-
that's a good discussion point and relevant to teams like MFC ever catching the big boys. There is no doubt that North of old were an entertaining and successful team. Why did they not catch on whereas Hawthorn did ? Was it simply the weight of premiership numbers or was there something else

If Collingwood won't pay their approx 300k per year I doubt there's a trade. No ones offering Grundy $1M per year and if you are Grundy are you prepared to forego $1M (the Collingwood subsidy) over the next 3 years

In NRL the NRL can call a player off for tests using footage at the bunker. Not sure if there's a doctor in the bunker but it's an easy system in the sense that the trigger is a simple visual assessment of head contact. Not exactly rocket science

yeah but half of them could have barracked for the Suns... not to mention all those people camping on the Tweed Heads border

There's talk of a $50k fine out of their soft cap. If so that's light. IIRC we got a $50k fine for Harley Bennell leaving quarantine camp in 2020

125 to sub 30 would be a great outcome

WCW Could you possibly work an elephant into the banner somewhere https://www.thechronicle.com.au/news/national/arden-st-elephant-mystery/video/54c54fe08c42ff187859ea2e3789539b Perhaps the elephant rider puzzle will be solved

Not sure he's big and strong enough. I thought he was more a Lever type player. Injuries to him and D Smith make it hard to get a consistent feel for their form at VFL level
-
For years North were our bogey team. When we were notionally strong and they were mid table it was usually a loss. I'm not feeling much sympathy but I can understand their pique with losing Horne Francis

True but (is there not always a but) we might need to find a new May as well for 2025. At the same time Bulldogs desperately need new key backmen. It could be a hard search

This post is quite reasoned but has that touch of despair that we MFC fans know so well.... I can't take the blatant cheating, it's too much. It was terrible coaching and team selection. How JR8 can continue to play is beyond me, he is offering nothing. Why wasn't Cumberland selected after kicking 6 last week? We are screaming out for goal kickers and he is not there. Banks made too many errors, we need to give Hugo a run of games. Pickett needs to go back to the wing, Ross on the other wing and I would play KMac as a forward he would be 1000x better than Jack. Cotch can retire himself now he has been average It's season over, I can't see us winning many games from here on.

Well They certainly don't like the umpires and the coach aka Mini is on the nose (mention of not having a plan B....where have we heard that before)
-
Very much agree. It's an obvious move and one we complained about when not made last year. A harder decision would be resting May and playing Tomlinson and Smith down back. I'd give Schache a go as sub simply because he covers back and forward and ruck (not fantastically well perhaps) Harmes, Hibberd, Spargo Jordon Woewodin... I'll leave to the selection committee
