Analysis Death-Riding Melbourne 2018 (now with poll)

[Thetrader15]

But the Storm are a successful club who want sustained success...

And will pay anything for it...even their players twice

There was a "rider" that was missed in the tweet ........"as long as the AFLPA agrees"

Perhaps let your players in on that as well. I'm sure the rest of the footy industry is fully on board.

Saw Simon Goodwin at Pt Elliott bakery yesterday - no players in sight, apparently the pasties were too hot

 

[WaynesWorld19]

The AFLPA are going to crawl all over this .......how dare the club

Charlie Cameron has buyers remorse

For Queensland and Queensland weather that is a bizarre request. Beach runs today lads. Make sure you wear your shoes. Would be ironic if a player were to miss part of the preseason due to an infected ingrown toenail.

How about:

"Brisbane players told not to play like garbage for the entire season again"

 

[Deaneus!]

How about:

"Brisbane players told not to play like garbage for the entire season again"

So long as the AFLPA don’t get involved and say they can if they want to

And deserve a pay rise

No thongs is a far easier request.

I legit thought they meant g strings when I first read it.... How can your place of work dictate what you wear during your own personal time?

I'm pretty sure our contracts have a thing about riding motorised scooters, like the 50cc kind

For people who are pro athletes, or Brisbane players, there's an argument that maintaining fixed assets (i.e., looking after themselves) is an important part of being able to use those assets. If physio-doctory people says thongs are bad, I don't know who can say no to that.

counter-argument

footy players are always told drinking booze is bad for recovery
footy players drink anyway

i guess there's some maintenance people want to do, and some they don't

 

[GreyCrow]

Then you have the Phil Walsh philosophy at Port and Crows that sloppy habits lead to sloppy outcomes.

It's why the vision of Cotchin cleaning up meant a lot to Richmond. If the captain is prepared to do that then why can't others work a bit harder

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Biggest load of garbage i've heard .......AFL supporting the victim, pushing a "caring" approach which means what exactly ......phoning her with updates, having a coffee ? ...


They have however been playing "hot potato" ......and of course it must wait till after everyone has Christmas & their Holidays

The sexual assault allegedly occurred in September while the Melbourne player was on holiday in Bali. When Melbourne Football Club became aware of the complaint, the club referred it to the AFL, which referred it to Victoria Police.

What about the thongs you get at the podiatrist. They're bloody fantastic.

Still not allowed at Brisbane ......been waiting for the AFLPA Presser to condemn the action .....does that mean with todays fashion, a Brisbane player & his wedding party, can't wear thongs ? ......how to ruin a wedding, 12 months in the planning

Careful, the club will soon be telling them to wear socks next

 

[dracochapel]

Predicted for a top 8 finish.

Are we death riding Carlton?

No Gibbs no Docherty, could be a very long year. And we own their 2nd round pick which could still be in the teens

It's more of a given...

Trigg and Craig have both gone though

This is nothing new, clubs were doing this 10 years ago, thongs are thought to be quite bad for your feet and can predispose to plantar fascia and Achilles issues.

They're obviously not training in thongs or spending huge amounts of time in them. But think about it for a minute and apply it to everyday life. Especially with Queensland weather during summer. Doing things around the house, heading to the beach or pool for a training session, quickly ducking down the shops to get something. It's very impractical.

 

[LittleCrowBoy]

It's very sad,

My best fried is a Melbourne supporter

He's a really nice guy,
He supported the Crows over Geelong when Danger left us.
I felt sorry for him when Melbourne missed the finals on percentage (Crows played a part there)
He barracked for the Crows during the finals.
He rang me before the GF to wish me good luck.
He rubbished the standard of umpiring after the GF

Now Lever has joined Melbourne ....and we have their 1st round pick for 2018

I'd love to repay the support....but...In the VFL we need all the help we can get...so ...

DIE Melbourne ...DIE !!!!!
