What an appalling first question!

I would not have blamed Bassett if he ended the interview after that question.

Out of contract at the end of the year, but not a free agent.

A fully fit Crouch would have been the difference

Bit harsh on Dow...
Injuries have soured both their seasons.

The degree of incompetence on display at Marvel today is astonishing.
Players and umpires!

The quarter ends when the Umpire raises both hands in the air: Kick has not been taken So? You can kick after the siren from a set shot. He didn't play on, despite what the clown in the commentary box would have you think. The only thing from that play that stood out to me is how terrible BT is a c...

It was an awful series of events. The rule is terrible. It should never cost a goal for giving away a score. At worst, the ball should be balled up at the top of the square. It was an awful decision. McCartin was always under pressure and well within the 9m at all times. He is allowed to rush the ba...

Trouble is that he's contracted until the end of 2026, so unless the Dogs de-list him, we will have to pay. He was traded for pick 30 and a future 2nd rounder. Understandable that the Dogs would want to recoup some of the losses. He is not worth anymore than a future 3rd rounder on current form and ...

I must admit my initial reaction was a firm no, but I felt the same when we gave Michael Gardiner another chance, look how great he was for us. Why not, we have nothing to lose. Not comparing apples to apples. Gardiner's ability and performance was never the issue. He had a reputation off the field...

I reckon they bye might get us this week.
We're vulnerable.
But the bye might be a bit tired after having to play six games last week.

Used to be's don't count anymore. They just lay on the floor until we sweep them away.

and only 95 metres gained ... Most overrated stat ever! It's a defenders stat. How many average metres gained do you think Milne had over the journey? I reckon Plugger's metres gained per game would have been less than his actual points contributed. Well, I can't access stats that far back, but Jer...

He just got three weeks.
I suspect that will be appealed.

Charlie Dixon played reserves this weekend and is on report for something. Hopefully he gets 2 wks so he doesn't get picked for our game. We need all the help we can get, if we wanna beat Power. Even at Marvel, the umps will hurt us by gifting Dixon some goals Doubt he'll go...Didn't look a lot in ...

There's certainly been a lot of action for a locked thread.

I know it was a rule and it cost Corey McKernan a rising star award...And Dustin Fletcher was reported for it, too in the same year...
But it was scrapped as a reportable offence not long after that.
I don't remember it being reintroduced.

Butler, Dow, and Battle all fined.

Butler fined for tripping...Since when did tripping by hand become reportable and carry as much weight as an intentional low impact body punch?

But ...I think the better analogy would have been to say the physicist walks into a Flat Earth Convention and tries to convince them the Earth is round :idea: 8-) Nah.

Grow up. Are we incapable of debating this at a constructive and adult level?

TBH, It's not a debatable topic here...It's akin to going on a physics forum and putting up the topic of the Earth being flat and asking to debate that.

It is a ridiculous post and not warranted here.

Going off current form or history? Currently Battle is matching Wilkie defensively while also offering more with the ball and is more flexible. He is also bigger and 2.5 years younger. It’s not a one or the other, they’re both guns, and losing either would be a monumental mistake. Bit of both. Wilk...

Battle is not a star Never been AA - or in the squad Never won or been podium in a B&F Is a good player though Wilkie is a star Lazy comment, get your head out of the books and watch the game with your eyes, he is critical to the side and in career best form while the rest of the team is going ...
