Parents that give kids names that make filling in Arrival cards difficult create a burden for their elaboratly named offspring. Often it can mean they can't play so well with the weight of letters on their back.

The AFL and therefore umpires want close games. I do not understand trying to manufacture results - but to watch Jeremy Cameron have a shot at goal after the half time siren, the umpire call play on and the kick count is beyond me. The Umpire clearly calls play on - the kick has not happened - no c...

Didn't it cause a colour change for our jumpers?

If Leigh had used Daniel Bradshaw and Alistair Lynch as ruckman I'd be more inclined to take the suggestion seriously.
I suppose Amarty should have a go as well , Longmire protecting his key forward by resting him after 9 goals misguided?

Sydney Swans detest GWS' existence so as the current GWS deep talent pool empties GWS will slide to irrelevance. Similarly Suns are going nowhere ladder wise over 5 yrs. Gillon was able to get his way over the presidents. Dillon won't have same clout. Days of huge largesse to Suns and GWS should be ...

Collingwood has destroyed Melbourne with thug tactics but its crickets in the media. Losing Brayshaw and Petraccia in violent illegal cowardly contests has really put the skids on the Dees. What's the stories: Maynard is a misunderstood lamb and Moore's knee is not as material as Christian's family'...

Passive acceptance of injustice is rather foolish. Taking the side of forces that work against you is really dumb, no matter how badly a person might wish to point score.

Current set of umps are intimidated by big clubs and big names. Goes to their training.
They are possibly also confused and p'd off at all the instructions re interpretation and nuance that seem to be on the run stuff from GHQ.

So now maybe he will get injured.
That would be a shame.

Fast using up the good will naturally extended to a newbee and being female, which must make the role harder not easier. She would be wise to start getting points on the board and consolidating. Umpiring has to be a priority. Defending the indefensible isn't going to cut it, needs to reflect she ser...

Available before Wimbledon?
Past coaches have given him a serve and he does fault a lot.
Maybe just call a let on the idea.

Enforcers. Caught a short call on Dwayne's show this arvo; caller, in brief, said Moore's raised knee to Petraccia's ribs/spleen/lung had to be deliberate in that it was only designed to hurt an oppo. Only reason to raise a knee is protection from the consequences of a hospital ball or to get spring...

Yes, at first reading LK's narrative didn't make sense. Yes it was a mark. The Pies pair were over the mark. Umpire made no call so best move was to make a later call to disadvantage the attacking side so Pies defence could set and also rob North of 50m. It also begged the question: if they had not ...

Ratten doesn’t have to be loyal to StK They sacked him under contract As far as he is concerned StK can get fkd I reckon Obviously. Brett can act as he chooses. I just don't appreciate it as a Saints supporter. Vindictive behaviour is unbecoming and toxic. By the way, Brett was well paid by us wasn...

Shows coaching is based on opposition and own players that are available, not a rigid prescribed rote delivered formula.

Apropos of not much, re standing a mark, is it just "stand" or "stand and shut up"?
Notice Port players mouth off a lot on marks, try to distract.

Clarke & Dawe?
always teamed great.
Whereas
Our guys still working on timing and delivering their lines. Both deadpan, but.

It's a class system, if not cronyism.
Egalitarianism is stone cold dead.
Relies on brainwashing that there is "fair play" and honest mistakes even out. Tosh.

Deliberate irony?

I read today that Hawthorn are right in to Battle, but he has strong relationships at St Kilda. So it would appear the only way we lose him is if we try to low-ball him. We shouldn't and I doubt we will low ball him. On the other hand you don't want to pay an inflated amount for a third tall defend...
