I know someone in Stirling who could faintly hear it. pretty insane
See, this is how stupid and hypocritical the AFL is
How have they been able to find rooms for Melbourne on the Saturday but not the Western Bulldogs on the Friday night?
If it simply came down to accommodation on the Friday night, why wouldn’t they just move the Port Adelaide Vs Western Bulldogs game to the Saturday and have the St Kilda vs Fremantle game on the Friday Night.

travel
Fremantle played last Sunday in Melbourne
that is a 4 day break and then travel cutting it back to 2.
AFL ****ed up the NAB Cup draw
lets hope we lose this stupid knockout shit next year
One of the rare times that I feel sympathy for the Power. The Pre-Season fixtures become more farcical each year.
Back on to the AC/DC concert, I was there it was absolutly amazing. Will never forget that concert, and am honoured to see them for possibly the final time. To read that it actually could be heard throughout the suburbs and even in the hills is quite incredible.
I seriously hope all the fireworks at the end woke up every complaining North Adelaide resident and their dogs

Richard Philips has received a 2 year, $1000 good behaviour bond (no conviction recorded) for his assault on Mike Rann

Fair sentence IMO

fail to plan, plan to fail
All i gotta do is get to the X, see a man about a horse, then stagger down the hill.
Just wondering if the tent is a sweatfest.

Shouldve got more.
Not sure on an exact number, but it's fairly cramped. To get a good seat go a bit earlier and line up out the front.

But Crows98 said he'd get a long jail sentence
and as for getting a fair sentence I agree, if the government actually came through with their promise to build a new prison then perhaps we could consider jail an option for more offences.
The racking, packing and stacking can only go so far.

Go get the thickest magazine you can, roll it as tight as possible and beat yourself in the face repeatedly with it.
If you do do that make sure you film it and put it on YouTube for the rest of us!
St you can use that argument about pretty much anything constituting an assault regardless of whether it was a magazine cutlery or fists.
It was on the lower scale of assaults and was an appropriate response.

We both know the legal definition of assault, so lets not bother going around on it.
To be honest, my reactions more based on the fact that it was an attack on an elected official. In my eyes, that should be a more serious offense.
I am aware that its not actually the case that it is.
I disagree as I think their needs to be some distinction for officials attacked over personal business which this was.
Politically motivated violence I feel is potentially more dangerous than generic violence. However the circumstances and motivation of this one make me feel it would be unjust for it to be considered differently to any other assault.
Hell, if a bloke smashes you in the face because you have it off with his Missus should he really attract a lesser penalty than the bloke who smacks Rann? At some point an assault is an assault regardless of the exalted status of the victim

The guy punching me also wouldnt be able to rely on a stomach churning media circus well managed to try to get off.
Lets face it, no matter what, we cant have people assaulting key members of the Government for whatever ridiculous and crazy reasons they dream up.
We can save the whole debate though, its not like youd ever get past the whole 'i hate rann so im going to rant some more about innuendo' thing.

I still don't buy your premeditation theory.
No matter how you characterise the danger of a rolled up magazine if you really want to damage Somone there are 100s of better ways of doing it.
I also like your theory that people are constantly dreaming up reasons to assault members of the government. You talk as if it's a plauge!
There's a simple test that could be applied: would the assault still have occurred regardless of the position of the victim? In this case I dare say everyone bar you would say yes.
By putting that simple test you can afford officials appropriate protection without giving then some kind if exalted status as if they were royalty.
You seen to think my attitude is due to Rann being the victim. You're incorrect. Although I still find the method of attack amusing I have my usual amount of outrage over an assault. As you well know a crime is perpetrated against society rather than a specific individual. I simply think it is wrong to rank some members of society worthy of sine kind of higher protection from the law than others.
There's also the fact that this is hardly a stock standard incident. He more than likely had an affair with the bloke's wife(or at least that's what Phillips assumed). It was hardly some crazed supporter of the RAH going to extreme lengths in an attempt to protect it
The incident may have been more harshly judged if there was even the slightest hint that the attack was politically motivated. The fact of the matter is that it wasn't political at all. It was very much a personal matter - and the victim of the assault just happened to be the Premier.
I have no problems with some people having greater protections under the law - police in particular (ambulance workers are also frequently afforded greater protection). The nature of the work done by these people means that they are in harms way more often than Joe Public and they need to be afforded every protection that the law can provide.
I also don't have a problem with politicians being afforded protections not offered to Joe Public. Such protections though should only be available for politically motivated crimes (which this was not).

He hit him, what, four times? I tell you what, I reckon there were thousands in Adelaide who were be thinking to themselves "I'd pay $250 to belt Rann in the face with a rolled-up magazine" this morning.
The sentence is an absolute joke, but really, this whole thing has been a joke. I've tried to stay out of the debate on it because as far as I can see there's next to no actual evidence or facts that have been reported and it's all been a ridiculous drama, but seriously, $1000? Either punish him properly or not at all, that's not even a slap on the wrist.

There are various degrees of assault. This really was on the lower scale of things.
Although it was on an elected official, that wasn't the reason for the assault and that's another reason for the light sentence.
But Crows98 said he'd get a long jail sentence
I will have to go and check that as i don’t believe that’s what i said.
IIRC I believe I said something along the lines of “he should” get a stronger penalty for assaulting a people in Mike Rann position but “he won’t” as he will fix it and to avoid any more negative publicity. And I still stand by that.
