Great idea..even better if we supply @WalkingCivilWar with Ninja stars to chuck at them.

Tardy work @layzie, but given your avatar that's to be expected.

Curious as to what 'research' the biomechanist is referring to.

He trained, not sure if it was fully.

My brother (a Bluebagger) hadn't seen the incident because he was travelling down from the bush - driving past the Benalla Bikies but miraculously surviving. When he watched it whilst we were in the queue for Friday night's game he was gobsmacked, nearly dropped the phone in shock.

So, the toe seems fine but is dehydration an issue?

99.997% I have met 3 that are okay.

Laura Kane should have requested it become a promise and asked for it in writing.

Many moons ago (far too many) when I was an undergraduate student I was told that when marketing to the masses you need to appreciate that 95% of people are incredibly stupid. At the time I thought that statement was excessively harsh. Now I'm not so sure.

Not even if...

To allow just one individual to wield so much power reeks of bad governance in the first place. The AFL board needs to be held accountable for allowing this to happen.

I wonder when and how it happened? It didn't notice it impeding him in the last match.

Careless; not giving sufficient attention or thought to avoiding harm or errors.

That's a load of Blancmange.

I understand your sentiment, however you should have some grounds upon which to base your appeal. In this instance JVR's indiscretion was pretty clear cut. Carlton taking the punt on Jack Martin, probably arguing for Low Impact instead of Medium to get it downgraded to 1 week. Fine by me if that's where they expend their energy; happy for us to instead just focus on how to win the game.

Desist; stop doing something; cease or abstain. Rationonately;...

And it looks like he's really good friends with Jack Silvagni.

The classic 'last guy picked for the team in the schoolyard' who is now desperate to be 'in with the cool kids'.

I don't disagree @old dee (hey, that rhymes). I do question the timing of the contract extension, perhaps we could have waited a few weeks?

Or just put a full stop on it @Redleg? As for team selection, I'm not saying that we should pick Schache, but if we don't then it does beg the question as to why he's on the list. If it is for insurance / break-glass-in-case-of-emergency situations then how much emergency is required and how thick is the glass?

Peruke; extra bonus points for you @Jara.

Knowing Peter its possible that he could be politicising the situation; he has fought the 'head-in-the-sand' then 'lip-service' approach the AFL has taken for more than 15-years re concussions issues. If Peter doesn't have inside information about Angus's condition and is politicising the situation then I can understand why many people will find this to be distasteful, but I can understand why Peter would do it.

Damn right. Both us and the Blues have selection headaches (unless their lawyer performs yet another miracle). Get through that and then its the same equation for the last four; two wins for the flag.

Please do.
