Afraid l'd be in the long sleeves.
Probably two of them and the Michael Reeves long pants.

Or do a Gunston. " Sorry coach, tight hammy "

 

[Kanga Glory]

There is stupidity then there is no long sleeves policy. It proves nothing.
Thinking before the game, wingard use to love a long sleeve will most likely have a quite game

Nah man, you're not good at football unless you can deny feeling temperatures.

Please I played for 30 years and when it was cold I would put the long sleeve on. Loved my footy but when it’s cold it’s cold , no need to be a hero.
Now I’m older , now when it’s cold heater goes on and a glass of red

 

[giantroo]

It's snowing

 

[giantroo]

 

[Val Keating]

[SpiderBurton22]

Melbourne really should have been scheduled to play tonight, their supporters would be loving this.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Looks amazing. Will also make Cameron’s job harder.

From the same people who thought it would be good to schedule a game in Cairns in the middle of cyclone season

 

[Billy Not Really]

This would just confirm the AFL doesn't check what season it is when scheduling games.

We're currently in peak winter, and you're playing in Canberra. You're just asking for it at that point.

Wash your mouth out. We do not ever mention that game again

 

[DrZaius]

Just... Seriously I can't believe that game took place. I had a few non footy watching mates come over while that match was on and they were speechless that any sporting event was taking place in those conditions.

 

[gokangas]

Snow is amazing. Next year they may as well sell a game to Thredbo.

THE AGE REPORTS Giants footballer Toby Greene is being sued over a drunken attack on a bouncer at a Melbourne bar more than five years ago that has left the victim unable to work.

Mornington man Terrence Payne was working as a security guard at Zagame's Caulfield restaurant in May 2014, when he was assaulted by Greene and a friend after they were refused service of alcohol.

According to a writ filed in the Victorian County Court, the brawl left Mr Payne with post-traumatic stress disorder and depression, as well as a fractured fourth finger that required surgery.

"The plaintiff was dragged down stairs, repeatedly punched and kicked, struck with a crutch, pushed to the ground, pinned on the ground, and placed in a choke-hold and/or headlock manoeuvre using legs," the court documents show.

GWS star Toby Greene pleaded guilty to unlawful assault in the Melbourne Magistrates Court after a string of other charges were dropped. No conviction was recorded.

As well as a court-imposed $2500 fine, his club Greater Western Sydney imposed its own $5000 penalty and a five-game suspension.

In a victim impact statement, the bouncer said he had suffered nightmares and believed that one more punch or kick could have killed him.

Mr Payne is alleging negligence by Greene, his co-offender Charles Haley, security company Secure Melbourne Protective Services, and Zagame Corporation.

At the time of the attack, Mr Payne was 45 years old and working full-time earning about
$47,000 a year. His writ states that he attempted to go back to work in October 2014 but had been unable to continue due to his injuries.

Mr Payne is seeking a payout for loss of income up until the age of 67, as well as medical expenses and other damages.

In his writ, Mr Payne makes 15 separate allegations of negligence against Zagame's and Secure Melbourne Protective Services.

They include failing to have a sufficient number of security staff working, failing to cut off Greene and Mr Haley from consuming alcohol and failing to provide adequate duties when he returned to work.

At the time, a magistrate said that Greene was expected to be a role model.

"Gratuitous street violence in this manner shouldn't be condoned," the magistrate said.

Mr Payne did not want to comment when contacted by The Age through his lawyers.

GWS declined to make a statement. It is understood Greene believed the matter was fully dealt with in 2014.

Mr Haley, Secure Melbourne Protective Services and Zagame Corporation have been contacted for comment.

The commentator’s fellation of hawthorn is nauseating.

I reckon the "suddenly" thread might be getting a bump tonight.
