Re: AFL Overkill
So are you saying of all those "Behavioural Adjustment Officers" that are almost exclusively non-anglo are people of sub-contintental and African appearance that were all born here? No. I'm not saying anuything of the sort. I'm actually saying that unless I know that person, I have no ide...

Re: AFL Overkill
Well I don't think it is racist to question how "Behavioral Awareness Officers" who clearly weren't born and bred here could possibly discern what type of behavior is culturally acceptable when they don't understand our culture - just common sense! Question 1: How do you know they weren't...

Re: Josh Battle is he invisible?
Hopefully he'll get nominated in the next few weeks, agree he's been a strong and consistent contributor this year. Walsh from Carlton is a ball magnet and Port have a few decent rookies. Reckon Battle will be a 200 game player. Battle averages 15 Disposals, 6 Marks, 5 Intercepts and 4 Rebound 50s....

Re: AFL Overkill
BUT his concern insofar as I understand it was- what assurance do we, the paying public have that the people charged with crowd behaviour management have the understanding and skills to do so fairly. There's no issue with those concerns. Those concerns however have nothing to do with Kennett straig...

Re: AFL Overkill
This bizarre occurrence in some way exemplifies Jeff Kennett's main worry- that the people employed to do crowd control do not know football! How else to explain the action of the security guard? If you have people with no experience of a football crowd, no experience as a fan now attempting to eva...

Re: How many games better are St kilda if ....
Sadly, swapping a coach right now, will realistically not be a quick fix.
Given 6 years of terrible strategy and bad habits, it's actually going to take time to rebuild the group.
They will need to relearn how to play a brand of footy that will stand up against good teams in finals.

Re: White
Really showed something at full forward in the last quarter after finally coming back on. Should have had 3 for the quarter. Missed two sitters, and then got a free kick straight in front but advantage was paid to allow Billings to goal. If he kicked 3 for the quarter this would be a very different...

He had one kick didn't he?Bernard Shakey wrote: ↑Sun 16 Jun 2019 11:00pm Max King will rewrite the book on how to play forward.
In half a quarter he dominated the game, with Sandy kicking 5 goals.
After he came off they kicked one goal in the next two and a half quarters!

It's almost literally saying it might happen, but it might not.
Pretty much like everyone.
But my understanding has always been that ACL surgery makes the injured knee thr stronger one.
