AFL - will they have the balls to get rid of the bump?
It is on - and no I don't have thin skin otherwise I'd be ripping shreds off you! We're allowed to talk here on our own board without interference from your type. Haven't you got planning to do for your next game tactics? Now go away.- Words: 45

AFL - will they have the balls to get rid of the bump?
Yes I did see the Dixon incident and it was far more than a 'clip' - which is why he was reported. Houston went 'too far' did he? So how far was he planning to go? Now toddle back to your own board- Words: 42

AFL - will they have the balls to get rid of the bump?
Yes, it's time to get rid of the bump. In relation to the Rankine case, here's my take: 1. Houston had a duty of care regardless - he failed dismally and his suspension should have extended into next year. 2. He knew that momentum and his size and the size differential between him and any...- Words: 290

Review Good/Bad vs Sydney
Agreed and thanks for posting. So instead the points should be split? -

Review Good/Bad vs Sydney
So who was the goal umpire? They are usually fairly unknown but on this occasion given that it was clearly a mistake (not even a 'close' mistake) and he didn't call for a review when blind freddy could see the decsion should have been reviewed and the Swans called back to the goal square, I'd... -
Review Good/Bad vs Sydney
The Keays goal aside, (yes we were robbed - but boy would that make me all the more determined next season to show these bastards), I think we looked half a second slower all match and all around. As I said in the day thread, Thilthorpe looked slow and indecisive and we can't have that in such... -
Player Watch Paul Seedsman - Retired
Thanks so much for your post Bovo and I hope you've recovered well. It's so good to see others who understand the severity and danger of TBI/Concussion. The bottom line is it often has a life long effect and nothing, absolutely nothing is worth that. (In fact I think even mild concussion can... -

Review Good/Bad vs Port Power Est. 1997 R20 2023 "Migraine" edition
Good. So they should be - but you just never know when it comes to Port! I wonder if Aliir finally flunked the SCAT5? -
Review Good/Bad vs Port Power Est. 1997 R20 2023 "Migraine" edition
InDaily reported this afternoon that Port have been fined $100k over the Aliir Aliir fiasco - but not lost any draft picks or premiership points. Their Doc admitted that he stuffed up big time and has taken the fall for Ken and the club I think. The AFL Chief Medical Officer will review the... -
Review Good/Bad vs Port Power Est. 1997 R20 2023 "Migraine" edition
Couldn't agree more - and as for the people who regularly boo this kid they really should back off and pull their heads in - he's a 19 year old kid FFS. The North heirachy hold no hard feeliings for him and recognise its always a risk when you recruit an interstater - particularly one so young... -
Review Good/Bad vs Port Power Est. 1997 R20 2023 "Migraine" edition
Man I'll never forget the career ending Hentschel injury - I almost vomitted - I think that one is probably top three of the worst AFL injuries ever. The only good thing to come out of it was I then knew which surgeon to use for my own ACL repair. I wonder what happened to Trent? Hope he's... -
Review Good/Bad vs Port Power Est. 1997 R20 2023 "Migraine" edition
Sure is - we have 'dyed in the wool' Port Supporters who married into our family and they are simply diabolical. Hate everyone except Port - and if that had been a head clash between two Crows supporters they would have been whooping in glee. While I'm sure there are Pears who wouldn't do...
