As opposed to Mark Robinson's "gee the poor players" stance in this interview... http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/essendon-players-could-launch-legal-action-in-bid-to-end-longrunning-supplements-investigations/story-fni5f6kv-1226926208162 FMD

No moral outrage. Just perspective P.S. You think it's a son - have they missed 'the tap' on the scans?

Have I pre-booked one September Queensland holiday too many? Oh here it comes, the lid coming back down on me.

There were moments on Saturday when I was wondering if there was a possible link... http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/afl/afl-to-step-up-effort-to-ward-off-match-fixing-and-corruption-after-hearing-of-new-threats-from-asia/story-fni5ezdn-1226921899437 Surely not!

And how bad was Swan's 2nd half. Carrying an injury or is he Gaaaaawwwwwnnn?

Yes, and closely related to McCraken too. Back on topic, McDevitt's initial stance sounds ominous. Storm clouds gathering in the North West?

I can see what Dermie's riled... Riding the bumps (oops no), bracing for impact (nope can't even do that) pirouetting aside with a grin at Hawthorn

I blame the Matrix for creating unrealistic expectations of what is humanly possible.

It takes 0.3 of a second just to react, which leaves 0.2 of a second to get his body out of the way. Simple cognitive neuroscience and physiology says his case sucks, but then it is the AFL so granted that may be irrelevant.

If Gleeson thinks a footballer can, in 0.5 of a second, change direction sufficiently to avoid a collision then he's probably not that smart.

I say he was bracing for an impact that was inevitable... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXeqmBVRlIw

Strongly agree Sue. They should be establishing the facts, not running witch hunts.

Could a Gleeson become a new slang word for what I used to call a Prendergast and what Eddie McEverywhere would call a certain veteran Port player?

Magnificent T-Shirt. Did Jaded have any input into this? http://www.redbubble.com/people/4boat/works/10232747-robbie-flower-melbourne-dark-shirt?country_code=AU&p=t-shirt&utm_campaign=shopping&utm_medium=google_products&utm_source=google&gclid=CN3Q-OvljL4CFUcAvAodd4AAUg And this is what it's all about:

A promising debut from Salem. This kid has the second best footwork that I've seen to date. As for the best - how about we draft this kid? A small forward for the future?

Re Jesse's back (and Maxie's hammies), was in conversation yesterday with the bloke who brings in high-end spinal strengthening and conditioning devices http://www.ppsoz.com.au/index.php/home/sports maybe this could be part of the solution?

Good point Doc. And should Collingwood drop-off just as GWS and CGS begin to dominate will TV ratings take a nosedive?

They wanted a damaging forward.

Whatever we do in the next draft, lets hope we get it Wright!

Stupididee?

When passing to a teammate wouldn't you see the front of them 90% of the time? (oh wait, modern footy IS passing backwards...I'm still lost in the 80's).

Sure does and better still when we've won, Prodigal Son calls it Won Beer. Last year, after the GWS game my wife called to see when I'd be home. Told her I'd be home after Won Beer. She couldn't work out why I got back at 1:30am, obviously she'd misheard me!

Thanks Chippy. Do you think there will be more views if the thread title is changed to FREE BEER ?
