Bluey's Dad

Sounds like a magic item. He'd need something like Knowledge (Arcana) to use it, which is an intelligence based skill. I'll let you decide if he has a high enough INT stat. just jks Ethan

Correct. Although they do start with basic proficiency in daggers. Maybe what @Ethan Tremblay thinks of as a sword, the rest of us regard as something... smaller.

I live in Berwick and I'd say the Dees are one of the more popular clubs with the kids judging from the footy days at my son's school. Up there with Hawthorn/Collingwood. Have also seen the occasional billboard/notice on some of the busier roads advertising MFC events with players although I haven't attended one. The Auskick here stinks though.

Any mods out there care to move this to the general forum? This [censored] is the reason I don't wade into that cesspool anymore.

Interestingly he is also very repentant. I've heard him on the radio say that his hit on Brent Staker was one of the worst mistakes of his life.

wow ok, even better

Didn't we get Hibberd for pick 25ish? Pick 10 for Lever seems fair to me. Increase in price over Hibberd commensurate with his younger age. Plus, as with many trades in AFL land, it's simply the currency we have. Lots of trades will end up being a little 'overs' or 'unders' just because one party doesn't have exactly the right pick/player/combination of the two. Trades still get done because the clubs know that nothing will ever happen if every single club holds out for the exact right price in every single trade.

Wasn't alive for the last one. I mostly feel like I won't be around for the next one.

He might have to be in a prequel or something.

I would be banned if I posted about the exact ways in which Prodee 'fits' into the sequel. However, I can say that he is... well taken care of edit: that's a winky face but doesn't look very winky. I'm winking

You only start out as nemeses. After initial tensions over Omac and backline deficiencies, the two of you unite against an unknown common enemy. Eventually, the villain reveals himself to be Nasher, who has hidden himself behind a veil of reasonableness and rationality for years in order to gain the trust of unsuspecting demonlanders. Sexual shenanigans ensue, as is required by internet fanfic regulations. In the climax (lol), you confront the now unmasked Nasher, who monologues about how frustrating administering this site is, and how we'd all be better off if he just controlled everyone's thoughts with his WMM (Weapon of Mass Moderation). You and STMJ convince him that he needs to give freedom a chance, and he changes his mind. Then you all strip down for the obligatory fanfic orgy. BBO observes from outsite, critiquing each of your performances, secretly seething that he wasn't invited. Fin

I hope not. It will completely undermine my STMJ/Binman fanfic.

Right there with ya mate. Still shattered.

He used the word "impatient" a lot. A decade of waiting for finals is impatient? 53 years since the last flag? I'm 32 years old. I've been 'patient' with the MFC my entire life.

The Premature eJACKulation board?

Good. Tmac was awful last week. That kick in gives me nightmares.

WC want it more, not much more to say. Gutted.

On Carey - the point of difference for me is that he took responsibility afterwards (although I think it was a long time after) and was contrite. It doesn't make what he did ok or acceptable at all, it was still an appalling act. It simply makes him easier to accept as a member of the media when he also knows and publicly states that what he did was wrong. Hird has yet to take any sort of responsibility for his actions. As you say, he remains unashamedly unrepentant.

Some of them show the footy in the table areas. Hopefully you're lucky enough to have landed with one of those venues.

Oh I can't wait for the commentary if he gets another fine. "The system is unfair!" "None of the strikes was enough on their own to warrant the loss of games, Dusty should remain eligible for the Brownlow!" "X player got away with it and wasn't fined!" "Dusty is a good bloke and should be let off!" (clearly insane, but I reckon the one-eyed tigers supporters will make this 'argument') "He's gone through so much, he deserves a shot at the Brownlow without the AFL's overly zealous rules getting in the way!" "We love his courage at the contest, don't penalise him for the way he plays! We need more of it!"

Finally managed to watch a clip of the tackle after reading about it here (and listening to people speak about it on the radio). For mine, @JTR above is correct. If you pin an arm, preventing a player from bracing themselves for their head to hit the ground, you take responsibility. The replay clearly shows Dangerfield pinning an arm and driving Kreuzer head first into the ground. It must be sanctioned with the loss of games. The Brownlow discussion is irrelevant. If you take an action like this and are suspended, you are ineligible. As for consistency, I think the commentators who are arguing that Buddy wasn't charged have it the wrong way around. The fact that Buddy's intentional high contact wasn't picked up on by the MRP indicates that they aren't serious about the head being sacrosanct any more. The lack of consistency here is that Buddy WASN'T charged, not that Dangerfield WAS.

yeah I should have seen that, my bad.
