News Jnr Rioli - He’s back.

[Ochre]

When Peter Siddle dismissed Stuart Broad to take a hat trick on his birthday, his figures were 5/33.

 

[Mattman93]

Few things
1) knees slowed him
2) lacked real quality disposal
3) lost interest towards end
4) between levels - Fewster

Well regarding (1) and (2), as they pertain to my points: after his first season or two he wasn't just markedly slower, the mechanics of his running style were completely different; he seemed to have no dynamism or strength over the ball left. Same for his kicking, it went from being a bit of a scattergun to a weird little slow-through-the-air pop-up kick.

Am I to conclude that his knees didn't just slow him a bit but gave him considerable trouble, and this (maybe combined with attempts to fix his biomechanics) is what altered his athletic profile so much?

Apologies if my questioning seems belligerent, but this query has bugged me for years.

 

[Obeanie1]

What's the score?

Poor light has stopped play.

Not sure when it will recommence.........if at all!

Yep. And sometimes in any field of life - if things come easy early often that person lacks the ability to tough out situations/disappointments/setbacks

Swear i heard Swift went to the NT and played some footy up there with A Hams.

I thought I saw both Hams boys playing up there.

I heard Swift didn't get invited to Wooshas BBQ so he quit

That's Dr swift to cash

 

[Kwality]

Not so much a guess as it is a conclusion based on precedent. Show me a single previous instance where a Court/Tribunal/Commissions/whatever has given an offender a reduced sentence because they took a while to hand down a decision.

Its called time served.

Nah, Woosha wouldn't have made that mistake

It’s really an 18 month suspension (expires March) and then afl can make a big deal of him coming back for rd1.

I hope.

Keyser gets up at 12.01am and reaches for this

1.09 instead of 12.01, i guess it'd take so long to take those pills as suppositories.

Been a while ... just news to some. There is a story along the way.

They did, with the Tiwi Bombers.

Generous use of the word imminent.

Judge Snyder almost back from his holiday.

 

[DanWCE]

How long til we hear something? I reckon March.

Posted this mid December. Thought it was outlandish at the time, but also that the AFL are so incompetent it could actually happen

 

[Dark Sharks]

About as imminent as the Witherden trade which was supposed to happen at the start of the trade period then almost missed the trade deadline?

Pretty obvious there is some sort of argey bargey going on, whether that be formal appeals or some form of negotiation we may never know.

Fock - my English dictionary does not put imminent and fortnight on the same planet let alone the same sentence.


Willie Rioli - a miscarriage of justice. Suspended longer than he played.
