    Hey Toxic - Melbourne, inner east. Something about these appeals to me; https://www.golfbox.com.au/clubs/packages/wilson-tour-rx-package-steel-shafts/ Or maybe these;https://www.golfclearanceoutlet.com.au/golf-clubs/completegolfsets/ram-g-force-complete-golf-package.html then use the drummond...

    Alright will start to take a look. What then do I do with the Drummond voucher? ($200+)

    ~175cm... Have only had a few hits at the Driving Range... I feel like I should buy a full set and have a Drummond Voucher as well - but their options seem somewhat limited.

    Golf Golf Clubs/Equipment Discussion.

    Got a bit of cash for Christmas and was looking at getting into golf. Was wondering in what order I should invest in clubs and lessons. I'll take a lesson shortly, but not sure if I should buy something online (ie these) just to tie me over or buy something a bit lower quality at a Drummond Golf...

    We have to get up for Simpson's 250th. Heart and soul player that bleeds Navy Blue!

    Richmond hierarchy aimed for finals, not a premiership

    Nothing's stopping you from providing the stats... I'm just quoting from his most recent performances - If I was quoting from further back you'd tell me to stop 'living in the past'... As I said, I've watched him for 6+ years. Put whatever stats you want to the argument...

    Richmond hierarchy aimed for finals, not a premiership

    So you're inside his head now? I'm sure you can provide them. In truth, they're irrelevant - but they demonstrate that what I've observed empirically is reinforced statistically. So in returning to what was quoted, bringing Yarran into the team won't 'drastically minimise turnovers'...

    Richmond hierarchy aimed for finals, not a premiership

    Issuing an ultimatum on a forum... I've watched him for 7 years. At training and in matches. At intraclubs, during the NAB cup, and in finals. He turns the ball over when he shouldn't. He misses targets and makes mistakes by hand. Last year he averaged 16 touches of which 3 were clangers...

    Richmond hierarchy aimed for finals, not a premiership

    Sorry, you're wrong. For discussion sake, he ranks poorly (?) in Clangers last year - and over his career. And for someone that's not a prolific ball winner - that's a massive indicator. He can kick the ball with precision like few others in the league, but he's definitely not a reliable kick...

    ... the worrying ageing Carlton list. Is it really a 'reset' for the 'baby blues'?

    The funny thing was in 2010-2012 when we were beating you in R1 by 40+ points, we were the younger team, with a less experienced side on the park. It's all immaterial in the end.

    "did he touch the ball before it went over"

    The comparison is void - in that you make one action - the kick - when the ball is in play, and you are technically then penalised twice. I cannot think of any rule/instance where the player in possession of the ball is penalised for his actions with a 50 metre penalty.

    "did he touch the ball before it went over"

    Why? If you have possession of the football in play - you can do what you like with it... The penalty against you kicking it is the free kick.

    Our Next Coach: Who do you want Pt II

    We were conned into removing Ratten due to a glory-hungry board, stuck with an archaic mentality. He was as good a coach as all of those mentioned, and was clearly a better man manager than the three of them put together. He had one of the youngest 22s to make the finals in those three years...

    Autopsy Rd 18 Carlton v North Melbourne Post Match Discussion

    Malthouse trading/drafting has always been questionable - he needed syncophants beneath him to 'tow the line'... With that said, Grigg is the exact sort of player we don't need.

    Past Chris Yarran

    Agree with this. I mean you look at the attack on the ball of Clay Smith last night - not at one point did Yarran show that intensity. Until he lifts his endeavour, he is setting a horrible example for the team, and it's beyond belief that the club let him get away with it at AFL level. As...

    The bolded is spot on. I don't know about 'preparing' for it, but that familiarity certainly helps the conversation. Then again, someone has to blaze a trail.

    Mega Thread Oh yeah ... did you know there are 17 other teams? - General AFL discussion #9 - Blues posters only

    Agreed. But that is why the initial post of those quoted highlights the club as responsible, as an extention of the AFL who have taken it upon itself to be a champion of these causes. The past few months has shown it needs to be handled very sensitively. Unfortunately we're still at the stage...

    I don't 'condemn' anything he did - I take issue with the AFLs response, or more to the point, the lack of consistency when administering the sport. Enough putting words in my mouth, especially whilst presuming my ignorance. Windhover - I probably won't respond to you again for this reason. As...

    I don't expect those that boo to be willing to do the research. I don't think you do either in truth. As unfortunate as it is - it probably needs to be delivered on a platter.

    Well it shouldn't - people should know. They need to extract the most from this saga. Unfortunately, many of those defending Goodes (for lack of a better phrase) don't see past the rhetoric. Those on the other side of the fence I simply presume don't know (and more to the point don't care) so...

    Murphy kicked the goal. Both were a 'razz'. I do see the difference, and I'm largely with you - it's more interesting than anything. But this is a sport - free of any cultural inference, players shouldn't actively target the opposition supporters. That Goodes came out and said "If there was...

    That's a loaded question that implies I condone the booing. Anywhere I've said it shouldn't stop? I would either suppress both, or suppress neither. Such that both have proven harmful, it seems both should be supressed. The issue is one was supressed for some people, and not for others...

    No need to target the man. Don't defend one mans right to express himself, and simultaneously rob another of the right to express offense. Treat everyone the same, help end racism.

    A 'war cry' is inherently aggressive. Should've been fined/warned by the AFL for aiming it at the crowd - or more accurately, for aiming it at the opposition fans - like countless gestures before it - would've helped put this saga to bed.

    The biggest problem with the way this debate is going, is that you have no reason for any 'moderates' to get involved. Voices of Alan Jones, Bolt, and Newman make it dangerous going should you find yourself of a view that even remotely resembles theirs. This to me is the problem with the race...

    But is everyone in someway complicit (with the racist aspect) ? For me, it's a difficult one to answer - The booing has to stop as it's divisive and malicious. As such it can't be tolerated. The AFL should've lead with that line - rather than perpetuated a completely moronic standpoint of 'if...

    People can reserve their right to take offense at what they see fit. I know why this is especially pertinent to the Aboriginal community of Australia - and specifically hurtful to Aboriginal peoples given its historical context
