Will he be as good as Dean Gore though?

I still don't think Dean Gore is a real person. Was proven wrong with Todd Elton, but I'm positive on this.

I've met Dean Gore, very unimpressive unit.

Anyone catch the Titus O'Reilly bit on channel 7's footy coverage, pretty much confirming he's a completely unfunny campaigner who occasionally hits the mark, rather than a funny guy who sometimes misses?

Made worse by the fact planning obviously went into it.

AFL to change MRP system mid-season to ensure players who punch opponents are punished
THE AFL will tinker with its MRP system in coming weeks to ensure players guilty of punching an opponent face suspension — with changes to be implemented this season.
Tired of seeing players punching opponents and not being appropriately punished, AFL football operations boss Simon Lethlean said the league would take steps in coming days in a bid to rid itself of punching.
Lethlean said changes to the MRP grading table would be worked on in coming days and, unusually, changes would be made mid-season.

About time.
Boak has been punched several times in the stomach for no reason.

What's the betting one of our players will be the first one they will make an example of? And it probably won't even be a real punch, just a bit of pushing and shoving.

lol

Man Essendon sure have a lot of players called Ryder.

TV/radio is not his medium. His staples are sarcasm and self deprecation and they work so much better when read in social media/blog format than they do listening to him for real.

That seems to happen anyway. It will help us as the other teams wont get away with it whilst ours are pinged now.

I used to find him funny because he was a Melbourne supporter, now I just wish he supported Richmond.

Hartlett v Hawthorn.

He only needs another fine under the current rules to get suspended anyway.

i reckon his podcast is ok

but a lot of it is still self-deprecation and obvious sarcasm

Hartlett will be out for weeks........he's already a repeat offender

We play Hawthorn in a couple of weeks. They'll get "unsociable", goad him into something, he'll give Rioli a tap to the stomach who will go down like he was shot. Hawks medical staff will later fry Hartlett on a trumped up medical report. Business as usual.

What happened to him? Sorry I'm still out of the loop on non port stuff after China trip.

Neither will Mitchell, he's the other one who can do an Oscar to get players suspended.

Ok thanks for the info. Bummed he got a PCL. A hammy would have been better.

Hawks won 3 flags on the back of being allowed to play an 'unsociable' game parroted by the media as a fashionable 'cool' style of gameplan. Umpires gave them extra leverage as a result to allow them to play with additional physicality not bestowed to their opposition.

that was the added advantage along with getting a 'home' grand final 4 years in a row.

Yeah but those Hawks are gone: replaced by a rabble who struggled to beat the wooden spoon favourites by 6 goals. I want to pulverise them on Thursday week.

 

[Grave Danger]

Thursday night games for the next 5 weeks, coinciding with the bye rounds when there will only be 6 or 7 games. Going to be slim pickings on the weekends for footy addicts.
