Then you have the quintessential good bloke,Tom Barrass, getting a week because Walters didn’t quite get out of his grasp.
He had an arm free but chose not to protect himself.
How a player can be slung by two fingers is beyond me.

Mixed news for Giants as Greene, Hogan Tribunal verdicts revealed

Mrs Richmond.
Could Ghost be Punt Road?

Six Points: Greene lucky to only get a week, 2024's two best wins, and the moment that sums up woeful Roos

Does it seem right that 55000 people want to come and watch one nineteen year old and a thirty year old play so well?
Does Yeo at the top of his game, and sure, he’s messy, but dynamic make it easier for Reid to do the good stuff we’re thrilled to see.
And I don’t think North would have been a good fit. Look at the sedate way Sheezel is being used. And Wardlaw.
It was good to see Bailey J top the contested possessions count and Reid the disposals.

Should Greene get more than Cotchin did for driving a player into a behind post, in the process of a ‘football act’?

Walters had an arm free and the tackle had already gone on long enough to earn Barrass the free.
But Walters trying to slip out meant that he was at the end of Barrass’s long arm and he being canny enough to know that he’d be pinged, chose to hit the deck.
It was Walters’ evasive tactics that led to the infringement, not Barrass’s ‘sling’ motion.

Monster Tribunal night confirmed as Giants challenge Greene, Hogan bans, Eagles appeal star's dangerous tackle

If Freo still had Pavlich, I’d agree.
Reid to kick the matchwinner after the siren.

The Roar's AFL expert tips and predictions, Round 6: Can the Bulldogs bounce back after a week of scrutiny?

Like your confidence about the Eagles. I share it. Serong shares it.

Dogs the only difference. Tipped a three goal scrap.

The Roar's AFL expert tips and predictions, Round 6: Can the Bulldogs bounce back after a week of scrutiny?

Eagles were short themselves or don’t you look at injury lists?
Richmond were four goals up. What happened?

When the Eagles finally took off, the Cats stalked its pray and the Bulldogs lost their bite: A rapid recap of AFL Round 5

Excuse me… We only have to kick ten goals.

Six Points: Why Dogs' disaster isn't all Bevo's fault, Eagles on their way, and 2024's biggest beat-up

If Richmond have up to half of their best side out through injury, is that down to poor player management, lousy training surfaces, bad conditioning coaches, excess travel or just dud players who can’t keep up with modern football?
Perhaps recruitment of the wrong players?

Six Points: Why Dogs' disaster isn't all Bevo's fault, Eagles on their way, and 2024's biggest beat-up

You don’t kick 500 goals if you’re a spud.
Put him in the midfield.

Doing fine. Freo my only fail so far.
Eagles 50/50 although the odds are against it.

Footy Fix: Amazing Adelaide resurrect their season with one of the great wins... but how on earth did they pull it off?

Try Allen, Ryan, Bazzo, Hewett,Maric and Flynn…

The Roar's AFL expert tips and predictions, Round 5: After a weekend of 9s, can our experts back it up?

No Carlton surge would been possible without a wrongly paid mark and a therefore wrongly assessed dissent.

Wonder who McClure would have wanted Reid to go to?
As for his risible suggestion that Barrass be traded for two first rounders, what planet is he living on?
Reid is at a club that values its players.
How many have left to go elsewhere for better coin? Or playing opportunity.
Waterman springs to mind.
Why else would Darling and Gaff be first picks? It is is true that other clubs engender loyalty in their coaches and players. Some other clubs,I should say.

Martin and Baker are auditioning for a move West. Neither can stand Yze or being surrounded by plodders.

More like Martin auditioning for his move West. Can’t stand Yze, hates having to work hard and being surrounded by plodders

Same era as Collingwood “six footers” ?

Bizarre,Tim. The Freo cheer squad 250 metres from the action???
Also bizarre, defending the indefensible again.
It has been proven, scientifically,that while circadian rhythm disruption can be mitigated if the travel is only east-west and/or west-east and infrequent , there is a cumulative factor in multiple trips that is impossible to overcome.
Why else would there be only three players from the west to have accumulated 300 games? While lots of Victorian scrubbers get there as a matter of course?
Suggestions :
1. Low level, chartered flights both ways. Flying over east when it suits the team and back that evening, not at 2 in the morning after delays.
2. Big enough planes to allow inflight rehab.
3. Recompensing smaller clubs for missing out on gatetakings while Collingwood play in Hobart, Carlton in Darwin, Essendon in Cairns.
4. Extra games at the MCG.
5. Scheduling to suit Perth patrons instead of Fox subscribers.
6. Recognising that WA school holidays don’t always match Victorian ones.

Six Points: Clutch kings do it again, footy's dirtiest player, and debunking 'Vic-centric' fixture myth

Not am I. It would get us ten thousand places closer to membership though.
I think a NOR side makes more sense,based around Joondalup.
Although I do have a soft spot for Mines Rovers, seeing that’s where the drop punt was invented and who had the first 6’6″ ruckman in Australian Rules, a Russian chap,I believe. A FIFO team, that’s modern.

AFL News: Surprise new team enters race for 20th licence, Eagles close in on priority pick for 'self-inflicted incompetence'

Don’t waste as many as you.
Put plainly, in this universe Rocchiocoli has no international experience. He cannot therefore replace Lyon or Murphy on international form.
And your insult of a ‘ third or fourth string for the Sri Lankan tour’ cannot pass without a rebuttal based on logic.
He is the best domestic offspinner in Australia. In fact he is the best domestic spinner in Australia.
His figures, in the toughest domestic competition in the world, despite your constant childish naysaying, speak for themselves .
If you can’t see that,then change your myopic, narrow-minded Victorian bias to one that appreciates excellence and applaud Rocchiocoli’s season and his certain elevation to the Test squad.
You say you’ve got a lot right in your prognostications. Admit your mistake. Be brave.

Forgotten opener, WA veterans snubbed in central contract shake-up as CA name 23-player list

But not if the player is a heartland,father/son, NGA or Tasmanian,or heaven forbid, a Norwood player.
As for the idea that the Eagles are a ‘confected’ team, when was the last time that a side drew all its players or its coach from its catchment?

The original sides might have original
jumpers on the wall of their brand-new
headquarters ,but there’s nothing particularly authentic about that.

I don’t mind RT’s comment about splitting the Eagle’s supporter base in two.
It wouldn’t reduce the number of members by much.
That is all Richmond supporters care about -the diminution of the best WA side

Mick Malone is one of the one-Test players with an infinite average. One innings,46 n.o.
His 6/77 was memorable because that got him picked for WSC.

Reliving the Eighties and a great era for fast bowlers

Your gripe is my gripe,Jeff.
Would various Roarers have access to their state cricket association’s end of year stats?

Premier grade would do. Top sides, etc.
Top wicket takers,runscorers, wicketkeeper catches, that sort of thing.
Up-and-coming players in other words

I know that you’re not up to speed on Carmelian cosmology,Pierro, because of its emphasis on general relativity, but your argument against Rocchiocoli appears to be puerile . Unless , of course, it is based on special relativity and Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, by which the superposition of an object, in this case,Corey Rocchiocolli, depends entirely on the observer.
Are you therefore saying that Rocchiocoli,in your universe has international experience?

From my point of view, and indeed from those of the majority of observers, he has no international form with which to compare him to Murphy.
