I'm that confident! If he recaptured his old form, who would be the most recent pure ruckman we have had who was better (ie not inc Goodes)

I feel like people are massively underestimating the impact Grundy could have. He is only 29. He got 40 Brownlow votes in 2018 and 2019 combined. At that time he was a leader and felt really comfortable in a good Pies team. 2020 was Covid interrupted and then at the end of the season the Pies...

Listen to that boooo when Cameron scored. So ridiculous that the minor premiers are playing away in front of seemingly at least an 80/20 crowd against. Or that the Demons get to play every final at home even after they lose the first one. National comp my arse

Ah did he do it again? I had only seen it from a few weeks ago in an interview after a game. Totally agree that the misappropriation of mental health is incredibly damaging. I don't think Jack Ginnivan is the most cynical / worldly example of it tho

Agree re De Goey. Agree x 100000 re someone like John Barilaro. I don't think Ginnivan should be put in the same group. He made an off-hand comment in an on-ground interview as a 19 year old kid. He wasn't using mental health as an excuse for something he had done wrong. He was led into the...

I would agree with this if he didn't take it with good grace. He seemed genuinely amused / engaged when the crowd boood him today. I kind of like him

I was at the ground and knew he was injured and boood him. I boood because he is a heel. He, in the face of being out for a few weeks, and his team getting crushed, gave a wry smile. What more can you ask for? He is great for the game. It's not his job to be the umpire. I enjoyed booing him and...

I was down on Horse a few years ago when we were playing v negative footy. I remember there was a spot late in a game where I think we were up by 1 point - maybe against Hawthorn? - and Florent played on and kicked a goal to seal the win with around 40 seconds left. Horse said in the presser he...

I am the first to rip on bookies, but the price they post isn't meant to be for an unlimited amount. And obviously the more obscure the market, the less they are willing to take on it. When you see a nice price for some obscure disposal market, you just have to recognise that you won't be able...

Umpiring was atrocious but we deserved to lose. Away to last year's runner up who have lost to invincible Melbourne and on-fire Carlton. You don't win every game. We are as much of a chance to win the flag as anyone not called Melbourne imo. Granted I don't think that is much of a chance, and...

Hi all. This event is on my wife's birthday. She is a big Swans fan and keen to go, but doesn't want to sit at a table where we don't know anyone. Does anyone know how the seating works, or ideally is anyone going who has a table with 2 spare seats?

Cheers mate followed you. Well done - gutsy win

I was just reading a Tom Waterhouse ad that came up on my fb feed. He apparently calculates his profits based on the highest price available from any bookie from the time he sends the tips out. Am I missing something, or is he using a non-existent top fluc market that opens at the time he sends...

Was at the game. I am generally very cynical of anyone talking about umpiring bias but that was pretty ridiculous. I don't claim to be any tactical genius, but there was a 10 minute patch in the 1st quarter where we were dominant in the contest. That is obv what Horse prides himself on so I...

I have always wondered this. There isn't really any security on course. Sometimes 7 figure bets are made. How is it that races aren't interrupted by someone with 7 figs on something that can't win doing something to create a no race situation?

haha yeah BBQ shapes are great so cant fault him there I dunno I can see at the edges of the personality he presents that he is very arrogant - not in the standard young guy way - but truly arrogant. I could see Horse hating this and that really annoys me because I think if you are going to...

Ha I am not trying to start drama. But isn't this just true? Why / how else did all of this happen?

Did you guys hear the interview with his g/f? Asked what it was about the Hawks that brought out the best in him, she said the 'Coaching staff' had allowed him to really shine. She was v emphatic about this and said it in four different ways. This would seem to correspond with a lot of...

Definitely agree with this. In our criminal system, there is a huge element of luck involved. Consider the most severe possible ramifications of some of the dangerous actions you have taken in your life. If you have ever driven drunk or been in a fight, luck is all that separates you from the...

I think he cocked his arm before Brayshaw lowered his head. So I don't think that screenshot tells the story in that Gaff committed to the strike before Brayshaw was in that position.

I thought Simpson's response was mostly OK. Re the votes - it seems unnecessarily inflammatory to give him votes. Clearly the incident theoretically shouldn't have an influence because there is no "fairest" component. It is shortsighted though to give him votes. This incident will define Gaff...

I just created an account after lurking here for a few years to say exactly this. I am a criminal lawyer and was having a chat with a colleague about how this act compares to an analogous act in a bar or on the street. One of the primary differences we came up with is that on an AFL field, a...
