Yes. It's been a tough day for us.

@Redleg covered it pretty comprehensively. Us lesser mortals need to take into consideration that the demands of pre-season conditioning are pretty daunting; especially so if your body is letting you down. Calling time on your career could be the sensible option, there would still be some form of financial compensation.

Providing a transparent mechanism for calculating free agency compensation would go against everything that the AFL stands for.

Hear me out. Rookie spot for Mathieson just to play 1 game against Collingwood, matching up on Maynard. No specific instructions of course beyond 'just be yourself'.

He was definately flirting with you.

Interesting argument looking at the statistics in isolation. However, between Collingwood and Melbourne there is a stark contrast in how the ball is being delivered into the forward 50; their system suits forwards who are leading into space. Our system is different and I think requires a strong tall contested KPF to make it more effective.

FWIW @ElDiablo14 the only media I encounter is via Demonland...complaining about the media.

Where did you hear that???

Cheer up @Jaded No More

Gammy foot?

Sugar Honey Iced Tea. It's been a bad week for sport, even Ping Pong's gone wrong. Former Australian table tennis player Adam Green avoids jail over $473,000 won on rigged matches in Ukraine Avoided jail and now shortlisted for the AFL Tribunal?

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.
