[Mego Red]

They may be his best mates but...


Three years with us and not one player to be given that honour.

I don't have the energy to give a s**t about that.

His two best mates carried him off. It's fine, and it's his choice.

 

[relapse]

Another positive from today is that the win now makes us statistically a better side than Port were in 2011 both in terms of percentage and win/loss ratio.

Eleni is a pure tokenism appointment

Annus horribilus?

 

[robboaustralia]

Life is too short to listen to Dwayne

*clicks mute

Did the same ha ha

Only way to go. Can't stand the dribble that passes for commentary in the present era.

 

[jenny61_99]

Yeah I got banned from the main board thread because I mistakenly thought they were booing us and called them pieces of sh*t.

Trust me, I was at the ground and thought they were booing Sloane yang I’m like WTF?

 

[jenny61_99]

They chose it?? Am incredulous.
Yes, Kelly should have been the out.

I heard today from someone in the know that he was already told he would play and he decided to announce his retirement.

 

[mistylake]

Had to be holding the ball. ElenI crucifying us once again

I heard she’s the daughter of that horrible qld Doctor lady that’s running the state currently. Yeesh what a family.

Does she emerge from a blue phone box?

 

[jenny61_99]

Sore ankle but I suspect the early start of the day was a factor as well.

Also, the lure of kicking the record in front of home crowd.

 

[mistylake]

Possibly, I’ve heard that her mum lives in a shoe. Cooks stuff in a big pot over an open fire .

 

[jenny61_99]

We got on a plane at 4.30

And it was bloody hot!

There are plenty of just as incompetent male umpires. They tokens too?

Don’t think it trumps the peanut farm but it’s getting there.

SHANE MCADAM IS 25 YOU FLOGS. HE WAS ON CARLTON LIST FOR YEARS

Which years Doctor Feel ? Was he there in the Malthouse era? Ratten?

What a surprise you go the SJW path. Unlike you I've watched her come up through the ranks in the SANFL, there are DOZENS of better umpires than her.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

She's not good but she's not worse than the majority of the rest of the lot.

I'll say it again, talk to anyone who watched her fast tracked through the SANFL, there's plenty that are MUCH better.

Yeah that as well.

What a surprise you go the misogynist path. Arguably there are dozens better umpires than the ones we’ve been lumped with Of either sex.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Which years Doctor Feel ? Was he there in the Malthouse era? Ratten?

The civil war era.

 

[dogs105]

The civil war era.

Pre 1870 then???

 

[Doctor Feel]

Pre 1870 then???

Yes

HAHAAH misogynist, straight to the name calling again, hypocrite.

Yes there are plenty of better umpires out there, none of whom have been fast tracked to the top level, all people of all sexes should be made to earn that. Or do you disagree with this and think some people should be treated differently?

 

[John Who]

John Who, serious question: any basis for this in fact?

I thought multiple concussions even months apart is super-dangerous, but am not sure (I'm thinking Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, CTE). Please clarify, if you can?

You have to be more careful if concussions are in close proximity of each other regarding time period. Within a few weeks apart, there is more likelihood of severe bruising of the brain without giving it time to recover, and possibly more complications. Though it also matters on how severe the knocks and concussions are with each separate incident. Think of a boxing KO then you can have a better appreciation of your line of question. All boxing KO's have different levels of impact. And generally speaking, you'd rather get knocked out twice several months apart, rather than weeks apart.

 

[Dangarman]

How sweet would it be if half of our 2020 wins came against both of last years grand finalists?
