Aren’t David King and Clarkson funny (remembering how they played). The Webster Family comments are too dissimilar to some of the comments of this forum when “fans” think their player did something the rest of us think aint right. Port barracker so if the Powell Pepper is the template for this season then we “should be looking at 6 to 8 here and consistency from the AFL for the season (but it wont happen) The big 4 Club Channel 7 AFL nexus Player legal advocate machine kicks in and of course the unaligned MRC mysterious thinking doesnt even get them there

AFL News: Clarkson apologises for 'emotional' 'c--ksucker' spray, Webster facing lengthy ban

perhaps the first with diagnosed CTE. Have a neuroscience degree and so don’t make the comment lightly but there is at least one former Test opener that may have it

Pucovski retires hurt in distressing scenes after another Sheffield Shield head knock

Me too but it was always coming. When he got the commentating gig I thought but you ain’t done anything yet but soon moved to perhaps its a good thing

Pucovski retires hurt in distressing scenes after another Sheffield Shield head knock

Really well written Tufanoo. One one misplaced word “unlucky”.(bar the one where he got in the nets not batting. It’s possible he is a bit spooked by the short ball now but historically he has been hit from the early days. The selectors having him open or 3 is weird and the coach (appearing) not to have work on the short ball defies explanation. In any of our workplaces this series of accidents would have required a response. Yeah his technique is not all the great. He looks good batting which is a bit like me being graceful but not a good dancer

Well a lot of Port Supporters dont him very much either.

'Ignores everything the AFL is asking': Port defend Powell-Pepper as ban looms for brutal hit which concussed Crow

Yes it was so bad last year that the most anti Port person Graham Cornes called it out. And of all people to have a go David King?

'Ignores everything the AFL is asking': Port defend Powell-Pepper as ban looms for brutal hit which concussed Crow

Oh I think with reckless thats running thru a player with your elbow up or jumping off the ground as three previous Brownlow Medalists have done. Asking for friend also why does David King hate Port so much?

'Ignores everything the AFL is asking': Port defend Powell-Pepper as ban looms for brutal hit which concussed Crow

That Test in the Ashes where both sides bowled short continuously was awful and the umpires lost control of the series from that point with the bogus requests (from on side) costing Australia a series win

McCullum hits back at Bazball critics after England's embarrassing rout: 'I don't want our guys to ever doubt themselves'

You’re both right. From a thousand miles away its hard to see any individual remorse over a variety of incidents or insight from him. His own words and deeds dont help his cause. And for perspective there are nearly 800 young men in the AFL. And sorry NMFC aint travelling that well in player management either

'One of the most wasted talents we've seen': Former great slams troubled Roo as monster ban looms

The more one researches Alexander the Great the more impressive it becomes

The Roar's AFL top 50 players, 40-31: Is this man the most underrated player in the game?

Cummins, MacDonald still got criticised after the Lords Ashes Test but that sweeper fielder was actually a really smart counter to B*****L

McCullum hits back at Bazball critics after England's embarrassing rout: 'I don't want our guys to ever doubt themselves'

“despite a humbling defeat” Not this mob.

Always cracks me up “Dont cuss me man” Meanwhile Ambrose can aim a learher rock at people heads but swearing? How gutsy did Waugh have to be to say that to him

'Never heard more crap in my life': Haddin hits back at Atherton's claim Stokes intimidated Aussies in '13 Ashes

Pant too (albeit for a long time). He is a talisman for India

Bazbawl: Bairstow barks back in fiery exchange with Ashwin, Stokes commits schoolboy error as India sink England

Gee they do some lazy cricket don’t they? The LBW looks out to the naked eye. I dont pay as much attention to the cartoon sorry I mean ball tracking technology

Doesn’t mind a go at the current Australian side. I thought Ok Champ focus on your own game. We have had the same thing here in Australian sides

Bazball 1-0 in India! Hartley takes seven on debut as England produce 'greatest triumph' under Stokes in epic comeback

Hmmm Shubman Gill. For a bloke with his average he’s pretty fond of himself. Think there is a bit of old school patronage for him

Bazball 1-0 in India! Hartley takes seven on debut as England produce 'greatest triumph' under Stokes in epic comeback

You would think wouldnt you? It looked like Boland didnt get that support in the Ashes for the simple adjustment that would have seen do better

Great rips into Smith's opener technique as Aussies crumble, Aus Day protest leads to pitch invader and Gabba lockout

Good enough for Angus “Numbers” Taylor ( our Shadow Treasurer if you can believe that )

No-ones talking about bowlers using cut now instead of the now more closely monitored swing? Lots of wickets between these three teams using it. The died in the backside edges early in the game werent great (Older posters will remember the crap low shooters at the MCG)

Test Mortem: Adelaide shafted by schedule but pitch not up to scratch, Smith-Green jury still out, SOS to ICC for Windies

Is Scomo Cosplay Five Secret Ministeries available?

Khawaja injury revealed as opener in doubt for Brisbane Test, Adelaide curator unimpressed with own pitch

What time’s play start today? Just kidding. Thanks for the double barrelled scheduling idiocy Cricket Australia ( the mob that cried broke at the start of Covid after the completion of domestic Summer’s takings and at the time had 20 legal counsels on its books ). Arguably no-one doing more to bring down Tests

COMMENT: What's the point in playing the Windies? Only the future of Test cricket itself

That’s so aerial. And even more how much we are genetically similar. Give us a template we can criticise a state or regime without “othering”. History will judge us all together like we did to those of the 1930’s

COMMENT: What's the point in playing the Windies? Only the future of Test cricket itself

Yes they still have something about them the Windies. Even the crimson caps with the whites. And that young guy on debut from poor circumstances revelling in playing Tests

COMMENT: What's the point in playing the Windies? Only the future of Test cricket itself

Langer really? Glen Archer?
