2017 - Non Yeo Discussion (Formerly Non Freo Discussion)

[Wally Walpamur]

Sucks that it's on the same time as the TDF. Does the Tour always clash with Wimbledon every year or do the dates vary?

Yep and because it's a boring stage I'm watching Wimbledon.

 

[Wally Walpamur]

Keep the running commentary going.not near the tv now

Querrey just broke Murray in the fifth set. Murray playing with an injured hip and isn't moving too well... Like watching a lamb to the slaughter.

Im really tempted to get out of bed now..

You'll miss twenty minutes sleep to watch Murray cry. Definitely worth it

I take it he loss?

Both the TdF and Wimbledon are always on in July. Not very good for those of us who have to get up early...

 

[electricfeel]

Well surely it's Federer's to win now.

 

[Wally Walpamur]

You didn't even need to stay up 20 minutes. Querrey had it done and dusted in 10. It was a beautiful thing.

 

[jerms]

What a magnificent result - Murray can FRO.

#19 for Roger, please.

 

[youmewe]

Well surely it's Federer's to win now.

No, no. It's Federer's to lose now.

He's $1.33 to win it. The hottest favourite (at the semi-final stage) since Rocket Rod Laver in the late 60's.

Having a hit up at Cottesloe Beach will become the gold standard for starting a season for all men's tennis players...as it has been for many West Coast players for years now.

 

[Purpletown]

Those cane toads are just amazing. They were down and out after origin 1. Great comeback.

 

[Kram]

Blues legend Benny Elias caught a taxi from his hotel to Suncorp.

Halfway there the driver looked at the old hooker and said: “Are you Benny Elias?”

When he answered yes, the driver stopped and told him to get out. True story.

 

[DudleyDocker]

Back Door Benny is not Brisbane's favourite visitor...

Don't know bugger all about rugby or Benny but his brother was my PE teacher back in the 90s, the bloke was an absolute nutjob.

Lol. The AFL have asked Hird to hand out the Norm Smith this year.

 

[yoong]

Lol. The AFL have asked Hird to hand out the Norm Smith this year.

Would be extremely entertaining if Essendon made the GF and the norm smith winner spat at him

 

[FreoRicci]

Lol. The AFL have asked Hird to hand out the Norm Smith this year.

Nothing wrong with that tbh. Was a champion player and apart of Essendon's two recent premierships. Fyfe modeled his game after him
Forget about this injection crap for a moment.

 

[Kram]

I hope he gets booed.

The drugs saga cannot be forgotten. It brought the game into disrepute.

If it his his turn then just skip him and get the next bloke to present it a year early. Just when you thought the AFL had grown up from an old boys club to a professional organisation.... just stupid. He does not deserve the honour after the dishonour he has done the game.

 

[freo_leo29]

They are just following the schedule
Last year was Grant the 99 NS, this year is Hird the 2000 NS

Well said sir!

 

[Outshined]

Congrats Hirdy. Well deserved.

He faced some serious competition from the likes of Marion Jones, Ben Johnson and Lance Armstrong, but he's undoubtedly a worthy presenter.

So Simon Lethlean (and Richard Simkiss) sacked due to misconduct... hmmm...

edit - can't keep it in their pants. crap like this pushes back things like women's footy. ffs AFL get rid of the boys club, it's 2017!

Just saw the ABC report. What do they mean by "inappropriate workplace relationships"?

I'd say that's having a sexual relationship with someone who reports to you (indirectly or directly). How dumb can they be? An entire planet of people you can have an affair with and yet you choose your own employees. We can pretend it's bad eggs but it's always a cultural problem. AFL should clean house. More female representation across an organisation (eg board/senior mgmt) would do wonders. Boys club b'gone.
