The Freo supporter next to us had some creative interpretation that every time an Eagle was tackled he "tried to fend off and had prior". So, of course, we started sarcastically noted that "he was lucky to get away with that fend off" whenever we were tackled.
Only lasted about 10 minutes...
Dark Sharks, can we get your view on the strategic importance of imploding in a preseason scratchie as a step towards our goal of folding the club? We're playing 4D checkers here, guys.
Rumours in the industry have been circling for weeks now and I’ve had it put to me on very good authority from multiple people that I trust that Harley Reid has sustained a season ending Corkie.

Scrap the Rookie list... Madness!
We need to start thinking like the AFL and work out how to commercialise it instead. Sell the naming rights to it and we could be welcoming Loch Rawlinson to the new Shandong Gold List and the AFL can collect another revenue stream to pump back into Victorian...
Yeah nah. Motivating is not just about pissing stories of unicorns and rainbows. Do you think the playing group was a bit down on confidence and Simmo comes in and says "Morning fellas. I really think we can win this game". And the playing group all said "f$#k yeah, I hadn't thought of that".

Nah, this is fundamentally wrong and the mindset of where unsuccessful middle management go to die. It’s been shown in quite extensive research that the most successful CEOs promote their own redundancy and rely on others extensively. They really encourage the greater good rather than need their...
He might have kicked the goal, but Coach Bombay drawing up the Flying V play to set up the goal was the masterstroke. It's about time this club either hired Bombay to replace Simpson or just hurry up and fold.
I don't see the humour in the idea of falling down the ladder and then quickly rebounding back up it... what am I missing?... ...

Ohhhh. Nevermind. Now I see it.
It would have been much better if I'd incorrectly attributed the quote to Zoltar instead of Voltaire. Misquotes are one of my favourite past times too, so I really missed an opportunity. As Ghandi often used to say, "Up the bloody Coasters"!
I really respect the point that you're making - but to quote Voltaire "don't let perfection be the enemy of good". I agree that we can't take all collisions or all collision injuries out of the game, but that doesn't mean we can't reduce the risk of them.
A few years ago, sliding into a...
I think this is a really important discussion that needs to be had, and one that doesn't carry any easy or perfect answers.
The more we learn about collisions in sport (not even limited to concussions, but simply repeated collisions), the more it is important to consider to options to protect...
