Near the end - in the last ten minutes I think.
It doesn’t make me feel much better about our season, but seeing Geelong’s performance tonight (awesome) gives a bit of perspective on the last week of football.
We got beaten by this team (#1 on the ladder) in atrocious conditions, then 5 day turnaround to fade very badly to get beaten by GWS (#2 on the ladder).
We could have done better against the cats. Gut feel is we were always going to be in trouble against GWS after the wet slog 5 days earlier.
We are a long way off the pace now and can’t make the GF from here, but the season isn’t a right off if we pick up some wins in the next month. Need to sort some sh*t out though!!

I heard the report on the radio. It sounded really interesting until they mentioned the percentage is of those who have shown any sign of healing within two years - not even full healing. Not really practical for professional sportsmen and women, and kind of sucky for amateurs too.

Had a mate who did one in school. Didn't have surgery at the time and it healed to a point where he could play tennis and touch footy, although it would occasionally go on him. Eventually had the surgery and now runs marathons with no trouble. I'd think it wouldn't even be a thought for athletes, not even darts players.
Watched the Eddie McGuire and Jimmy Bartel Podcast and Eddie was whining about the Lions flags in 2002-03(still very very salty).. he said the Lions best 5 players were being paid outside the salary cap that the Magpies had to stick to.
Never heard it put out there like that ie. blatant salary cap rorting.

Just to refresh people's memory this article (dated 1/7/2003) goes into the extra allowances given to the two northern states.Watched the Eddie McGuire and Jimmy Bartel Podcast and Eddie was whining about the Lions flags in 2002-03(still very very salty

..........................................................................
While the Swans said they were happy to accept the new conditions - pointing out that they are paying well under their cap this year - the Lions expressed concern about the lesser allowance that will take effect by 2006. Brisbane chief executive Mike Bowers said that going from $600,000 to $360,000 was a worry. But on the other hand, he was pleased the AFL recognised there were special circumstances for the Lions.
Brisbane coach Leigh Matthews said the new system would not hurt the Lions so much while they were near the top, but it could become an issue when they were mid-table.
"When you're up the top like we've been for the last year or two it's probably not a gigantic problem, but if you're eighth, and I think all the rules have to be on every team being eighth, then the go-home pool will be strong again."
Lions to be hit hard by cap cuts

He's lying. He's both exaggerating the amount and pretending the retention allowance was solely going to the top five players.Watched the Eddie McGuire and Jimmy Bartel Podcast and Eddie was whining about the Lions flags in 2002-03(still very very salty

And ignoring the extra money available to players in Victoria through third party endorsements/rorts.

A 53% strike rate after 2 years is pretty poor really. I think more probably needs to be done in the preventative space.
