    Play Nice 46th President of the United States: Joe Biden 2: Incidit in scyllam cupiens vitare charybdim

    Some things are just too hard to logistically organise for dimwits.... Of course they will sell it someway else. i'm surprised they haven't said "and no votes will be taken from anyone on the far west or east coasts. The death of democracy

    Yea much better to be trying to find enough players to travel 200km round trip on a Fri night instead. :think: Clubs play in competitions all the time around Australia where beltings occasionally occur. It's not an unusual experience. Reckon 3x10 teams in a north/central/south comp would be fine.

    Too much hand wringing around who is better than who in a Friday night comp - which can change from year to year to year. I'm not sure there is a hell of a lot of "building an empire" around FNF which is fair enough. Put the teams in comps based purely on geography from Div 3 & 4 and let water...

    That’s been the case for many a year though not just 2024. Only diff is player will miss 2 games not 1 (12 days protocol). I suppose it gets back to duty of care of your players. If u espouse how much u love your players and would do anything for them but on the other hand encourage them to...

    And that’s how it should work. If a player / parent doesn’t want to present then the onus isn’t on the football club

    Well I would expect any good doc to ask what it was being requested for surely! Many jobs would require clearance. Gee whiz th is sort of stuff has been happening for years. The only difference now is that it’s 21 days

    Yes but the club volunteer isn't there, nor should they be, to override a doctor's verdict whether it's too harsh or not harsh enough. A player comes back from the doctor with a statement that says "concussion" mild or otherwise, its 2 games out no questions asked. Thats where the club has to...

    Have you ever obtained a medical certificate for sick days?? There are doctors out there who will state whatever you want them to state if it suits them. Now in this day and age i agree that it would be more unlikely that a doctor would bc the litigation would be enormous down the track but if...

    Yes indeed that could be an issue - but if a doctor has signed it off, the player wants to play, then unless the club itself has a doctor who the player presented to on the day, they are in the clear. Some clubs I am sure will tell the player "don't be ridiculous, and give us the name of your...

    The downfall of Fox Footy.

    He is on FNF when the feed comes from Ch 7.

    The downfall of Fox Footy.

    Good to see BT starting a good avalanche of opinion against him after Rd 1 - he's like a modern day Kevin Walsh (apologies to those who don't know the circa 80's period of VFL footy) - he continues to underperform but continues to be selected each week. (mind you Walsh did eventually come good...

    Nah to me it's no different to 1st aid and the good samaritan law - as long as the volunteer has acted to the best of their knowledge and abilities then no recourse. Look I might be wrong but I think we are jumping to worst case scenario here. Taking last years Div 3 GF where maroochydore...

    Nup - that wouldn't happen bc they are covered by AFLQ jurisdiction. Can't successfully sue someone if they are doing the right thing too.

    Obviously not every person is going to be protected under whatever rules / restrictions are put in place. I suppose the code is trying to spread the net as far as possible with this mandate. Legally I imagine as well that they now abrogate some responsibility for whatever condition a person...

    No - but its like saying do you automatically get cancer from smoking. Basically the odds of obtaining a mental health condition or worse is significantly higher.

    He won't have a chance of winning either - can't go boxing post career and say my head knocks during AFL career were the cause. It's also pre the times when much of this info was known therefore duty of care isn't diminished by asking players to play on so to speak. It's not dissimilar to...

    100% lensen - but if a guy has been removed from the ground due to a head knock it doesn't become a choice thing - it's mandatory to get a check up. The loop hole is local club medics can be hard to find and therefore who is going to manage these situations. TBH this is no different to any...

    Thats where hopefully responsible parents step in Miller. And if they don't get a medical clearance from a doctor after being removed from the field of play due to a head knock then they can't play. It's actually fairly b&w I think.

    Not sure a bung knee for life sits in the same category as a brain condition that leads down the mental health route.

    I think as a coach it will come down to what your medics on hand say and the player getting a clearance from a medical professional. Now if they can do this then good luck to them and not much anyone can do about it. Same as if a player decides to lie about symptoms. But if a bloke is obviously...

    I suppose like many things it ends up in the hands of people who care - including coaches who will have signed a doc that says they will abide by these sort of provisions. It's a changing time - heard Garry Lyon say the other night he never would have thought he'd see the day where a player ran...

    Maybe the justification for reduced numbers comes from many teams not having the required 22 or a club that has 40 players maybe scraping 2 sides together now - I'm not sure. If it was all about getting extra kids playing then extend the bench to 6 - but I think less playing more isn't a bad...

    I'm with you - all this rotation rubbish in junior footy and kids standing in a fwd pocket sprinting off the ground bc thats what happens at the 7min mark is ludicrous. Junior footy players don't require a rest - most rarely run up and down the ground like Sam Walsh which is the justification at...

    Silly logic if that’s the rationale. Just reduce the numbers on bench to 2. The good old days 😅

    Not against 2 on the bench. More game time for players at junior level. The water carrier issue sounds weird though
