Mad Monday...

[Yelle]

Billards. He said something about an 8-ball?

And racking up?

 

[Ridley This]

Nick Riewoldt/Tim Tebow. Combining two of world sports' biggest sooks, quite creative.

This is all fairly tame, as has been mentioned above.

Nick clearly did his research, given Tebow now plays for the Jets and Payton Manning is the Broncos QB. Also, he appears to be holding a Chicago Bears helmet.

Yes, because these details are what mad Monday is all about...

 

[LeverPuller]

Bump.

Dawes is the one in the Geelong jumper...

Sorry to go off topic,
but I don't see the point off mad Monday, why should players be able to celebrate not making the finals. They are employed until Grand Final day, so they should be training until Grand Final day. They get paid 100s of thousands of dollars, and they get an early paid holiday for performing under par. Ridiculous, I would make them turn up for work until the football year finishes for everyone.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Bump.

I hope Dawes prediction is true

 

[Willo_]

Bump.

Dawes is the one in the Geelong jumper...

He is so much more likeable since leaving Collingwood isn't he...

You obviously haven't played much footy before.

Who's face is he wearing?

Frawley's?

I hope you never find yourself in a position where you employ people or have a say in how their employment goes...

Correct.

Negative nancy...

So if you want to play the "employment angle"

They are entitled to 8 weeks leave. That leave usually starts the day or days following their last game.

It is why the 10 non-finallists start pre-season earlier than finallists.

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Good gag from Dawes. Well played

 

[Super Hans]

Bump.

Dawes is the one in the Geelong jumper...

Didn't think it was possible to love Daniel Cross more

Do get the feeling that if a random group of mates decided to all have a day off work, dress up in outlandish costumes and get on the piss, they'd be labelled w*nkers, idiots and louts. I understand why they do it, and don't have a problem with it, but we do hold footy players to a bit of a double standard with this kind of thing, glorifying when we'd usually be deriding.

The construction/trade industries have RDO's all the time ............... Would anyone care if they took advantage of an RDO and got plastered esp if they had just finished a 6 month job during which (most) would not have touched any alcohol in a significant manner ???


And how is this any different to say muck-up day, where yr 12 students trash a school yard and blow off some steam after exams ??? Or a bucks night, where a group of guys get plastered, shave the grooms head and tie them naked to a light pole in the middle of the city ???


Let the guys blow off some steam after what has likely been a pretty disappointing year. They will have plenty of training ahead of them in the off-season.


P.S those who make finals generally start the pre-season later. They get roughly the same amount off "off-time" as those who don't make the finals ............

Why ??? Are you a midget attending the St. Kilda festivities ???

The earlier your season finishes, the earlier next year's preseason starts.
