  1. I'm all for Hird presenting the Norm Smith medal given he is next in line to award the medal. Time to let it go people.
  2. We don't need Ben Brown. Let's bring back Michael 'Juice' Newton and only play him vs North for the first half only. He would take pack marks and kick 4 goals before we put the sub vest on him.
  3. I'm not a lawyer but so think it's quite simple: 1. Players were given substances in an off site clinic as part of a performance program. 2. They signed waivers which listed vague substances which could be interpreted as either harmless or harmful, which were cleared by football department whom the players relied upon (from duty of care perspective). 3. Players have documented record of soft tissue injuries consistent with unsafe variety of vague substances. 4. Club in effort to mitigate its and AFL culpability claim no records and that all substances given were safe, despite not being able to prove what they were. Surely balance of probabilities would dictate that the substances given were harmful variety and if side effects linked to harmful substance variety include birth and child development issues identified it should be pretty much an open/shut case. Am I missing something?
  4. Can we offer up Dawes and Terlich?
  5. The staging problem could be easily solved by reporting players for staging and ensuring that upon review they are referred directly to the tribunal and if the player is found guilty they miss at least 2 weeks, increasing for repeat offences. The advantages of dealing with this problem via report is that the umpires can focus on the high contact while the tribunal can ensure that players are sanctioned for such behaviour without adding a dimension for umpires to assess during the game.
  6. Could we just put Melksham in Terlichs number and play him as Terlich. Woukd anyone notice?
  7. I reckon people underestimate Melksham because he has a rude head. We are seduced by Howes spekkies. Ill put it to all on demonland that Melksham is worth more than Howe.
  8. A WADA holiday will mean he has a year to get his face sorted.
  9. Offer our 3rd round pick OR 2nd round pick + Dean Terlich
  10. Does that mean a straight swap would keep things in balance?
  11. Given he is likely to face a holiday could we offer McKenzie, M Jones or Bail?
  12. I don't like his face but would be a handy addition.
  13. Chookrat - f $ ck your couch sky!
  14. P-man, love your work!!
  15. Thanks BBP, its been a tough few weeks on DL without Enyaw so I wanted to write something he'd be proud of.
  16. I told her I'd swing the leg over if she watched it with me. She obliged.
  17. Off to the pub now chaps, cheereo
  18. So last night my wife and I watched Sharknado and were amazed at Ian Zering and the qualities he brought to the film. I think someone of his calibre could really help, and who knows he could become a candidate to replace Roos. Here is what I think he'd bring: Firstly, he would bring skills in abundance. He's an amazing surfer and is good at fighting sharks, not to mention the ladies love him. Secondly, he is courageous and has leadership in spades. The players would listen and respond to his words. Thirdly, he is an awesome actor and celebrity who would bring in sponsors, members and the rich LA celebrity. Discuss.....
  19. Compare Rivers v Moloney and the terms they both left on.
  20. Hear hear
  21. Since he was drafted Watts has always been described as an outstanding character. I think hes now being driven to a higher standard and with his character should be able to use this to improve. I think once he realises he can step up his confidence will inceease dramatically. If he steps up this season I expect he will stay because he will see MCC as a club that can help him realise his potential. At 60 games Jack needs to show he can have more impact on games.
