SM do you know of any good bars near the scg?

Spent the night in hospital and Thomas went straight to the tribunal.
Guess that means severe, high and careless.

2001 was dubbed the super draft and it did deliver.

Players with 300 games: Dal Santo (322), Mitchell* (313) & Bartel (305)
Players who could reach 300 games (this season): Kelly* (299), Ablett Jnr* (295), Hodge* (292), Matthew Boyd*"(288)
Players who will require games in 2018: Johnson* (281) & Montagna* (277)

Judd finished on 279 games and only played 20 games in his last 2 seasons, injuries cost him entry to the 300 club

Judd didn't get to the 300 games but grand final winner, norm smith, multiple brownlows etc.

Some decent players from that draft that also won't reach 300. Luke Ball a prime example. Had a very underrated career.

Tom Browne is a terrible journalist.

Sam McClure used to be good but he's a giant numpty now as well. Loves putting out the popular opinion to watch everyone agree with him.

Scott said the grey area on dangerous tackles should be addressed.

"Clearly, the umpires and the MRP are seeing things differently at the moment," Scott told Fox Footy on Monday night.
"That one [the Waite tackle] is a player on one leg completely off balance. It wouldn't take much effort at all to bring him down to the ground.
"We're asking too much of the players on this one, especially when the umpire is with a really good view looking at it and saying, 'That's play on', and then the outcome two days later is a two-week suspension, albeit down to one.
"I'm not sure that we're quite on the same page with this one and I'd hate to think that the fact that the players are concussed is playing into the outcome.
"I'm firstly acknowledging how difficult it is and that we do have a responsibility to look after the players but … in my humble opinion, those decisions aren't right."


He's somewhat correct, if an act is illegal as per the MRP's chart then surely it's illegal on game day and thus a free kick against.
Quoted in entirety to maintain context.

It should be the same but making a split second decision is much different to viewing something on multiple camera angles etc.

You listen to Bosk too much and all his lies. Just standard post loss frustration.

good

Copped 5.

 

[Jatz]

Not exactly. He got 3 weeks but because there is 2 byes during that stretch (VFL scheduling is bizarre...) he can't play for 5 weeks.

Assuming one of those byes is for the Vic vs WA game

Take it up with Robbo. That's what the Hun said this morning.

Says 3 in the Herald Sun here.

Did it say 5 in the paper? I mean, he will technically miss 5 weeks but the suspension was only 3 weeks.

May have been a late edit. Read as 5 in the paper I saw.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

We won't. He's too important as a leader in the backline.

**** off Jatz

Going to my first game at Windy Hill too so hopefully two wins

After BobGate I wonder if both clubs will have a special #Pops300 jumper

rip lou richards up there with captain blood and bob davis now

The 9 news tribute was all class. For a prankster and sometimes arseh*le you can bet your house on John Newman making an absolute classy tribute. His media persona, Sam, will be left at the door for this one.

Well if Kelly is a fan of wheat, then...

 

[Jatz]

That guernsey is soooooooo bad.

 

[jd2010]

No wonder Parish doesn't want to re-sign wearing things like that!

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Well that's a left field debutant UnitedWarrior93
Been to watch the VFL last 3 weeks and no one thought O'Connor would debut soon.

 

[chef]

Redpath in after one VFL game.

Amazing that we are still around the youngest team in the league. Injuries ****ing us over once again.

 

[FAITH]

We are the 3rd youngest team in the afl.
Younger than mfc who keep saying they're losing cause theyre young
