Vandenberger With The Lot

Must say I am impressed with the club's marketing. I hadn't payed my renewal yet. Just got a membership card in the mail today with instructions on how to activate it. What a great idea. Then an hour later I get the membership drive call from Oscar McDonald and I signed up on the spot. He reckons he is in for a better year than Tom as well

Not sure on his motivations, just that it was his complaint. Here is the section from the article I've always been of the opinion that we should hire the best candidate for the job. If our indigenous players would be more comfortable have an indigenous member on the staff, then I guess that makes an indigenous candidate the best for the job. As for the Leon Davis comment, H seems to imply that Leon wanted to coach but no-one gave him a shot. I was of the understanding that Leon wanted to go home to Perth, and wasn't interested in staying involved in the AFL. Will be interested to see if anything comes out of this "unfinished business"

You are right of course as to how these things get blown up. I guess this is always a weird one, because since the dawn of time giving insulting and hurtful nicknames has been a part of the footy club mateship and culture, but at the AFL level the clubs are also a workplace, so if someone starts making noise you have to stomp it.

Doco doesnt cover his time at Melbourne, but from the article, seems his main gripe at the Dees is that we had no indigenous people on staff. Not sure if this has changed since he left? As have I, but chimp is pretty unacceptable.

To be honest Im sick of the media trying to push it's social justice agendas on sporting codes. The AFL, NRL and their respective clubs seem to be the only two orgamisations in the country held responsible for the conduct of their employees 24/7/365.

Taken from one of the facebook groups:

TO be fair to posters ripping into him, handballing to a man who gets gang tackled is still an effective disposal.

League Leaders clangers per game Dom is in good company.

A lot of UFC fighters are now taking longer and longer layoffs after being knocked out, with some citing that coming back too soon they find themselves more susceptible to being knocked out again. As much as I dont like it for his development, maybe Gus would see some benefit to hanging up the boots for the year and just sticking to training.

ANy chance of someone standing within 5 meters of dusty? 3 Weeks in a row.

Great deal by NB. Love their runners, only place making 4E runners to fit my fat feet in! Pity they don't do 4E basketball shoes

WADA announced they would appeal the AFL's Kangaroo court?

They do have a browser on iOS, not sure if it has the VPN functionality though.

Might be worth trying the browser Opera before forking out for one if it's just for WatchAFL. It has a free built-in VPN, though I'm not sure if they have end points in Australia

Still a pretty low start. After the competition blows up in year one, I expect a lot of the athletes will be thrilled to receive a large pay rise for season 2018.

Trac to have a breakout game late in the season, then have a blinder every single week until the end of the year.

I don't think Jack Viney will let the boys won't finish the year wondering what could have been. They'll throw everything at the next two weeks.

Agreed. It's sad that most aren't even suprised by this behaviour from "journalists now" Not to mention the documented links between concussion and depression. Whatever the case, all the best to H, can't wait to see him back out on the pitch in the red and blue

Yeah, watching the replay now im home it doesnt look as bad as I initially thought. Still what a champ he is.

We're going to hear a bit about it over the next few days. Some will love it, some will loathe it. He might get weeks for it. But no more are we the whipping boys of the competition. There was no hesitation, Jack Viney went in for his mate, something few of our players have been willing to do for the better part of 10 years.

Booing cheaters is disgraceful? You're right, maybe we should all get behind Sheeds and march in support of it instead. What exactly are the players "innocent" of? They have been found guilty by the court of arbitration for sport of being drug cheats. They are only "innocent" in the same way we are "innocent" of tanking, in that we absolutely tanked, and were just lucky enough that the AFL's kangaroo court wasn't questioned on that occasion. It truly boggles the mind to see the rainbows and unicorns world some "adult's" live in.

Now I want to know what the original said

Glad to see a win can't bring you down from your high horse Stuie

Very disappointing first 3 quarters, but he took it on his own back in the last and wont the game for us. Im so conflicted ...

Please dont run Hola. Have a look into their unethical practices that were revealed last year and choose a real vpn provider
