They need to find a bigger sponser than NAB Auskick first.

I prefer to be effective, if I believed that I had the pull to produce an empty house I would. But, there are other more realistic ways to affect change where change is needed. But I still haven't figured out what is YOUR beef. I'm guessing that you quite like having the odds displayed, and consider...

I'm bothered by lots of things. Could have a whole new decussion about junk food at the footy and drunken yobs.

Because I care.

I'm not one of those people who goes around thinking that it is all about me, and that everyone else can get stuffed.

Who would it hurt if we took it off the screens? The AFL's pockets. Betfair aren't going to pay them squillions for advertising if they don't let them advertise. So you are defending the right of the AFL's back pocket's, and consider that more important that the welfare of of children and people wh...

Who would it hurt if we took it off the screens?

No one is saying you can't have a bet. It is interesting though that some people have no concept of society, and believe that they bear no responiblity for the wellbeing of others. Advertising is seductive. It is designed to be so. Most of us are cynical enough not to believe everything we see in an...

Right. And I won't go outside either lest one of your massive billboards jumps out at us. And disconnect the electricity. Maybe I can become a subsistance farmer.

Wrong. There would not be nudes on the scoreboard because there is legislation that restricts that sort of advertising. ie. Where and when. The AFL isn't the problem because this sort of advertising is also popping up in newspapers, online, club emails, and on TV. Not sure whether it is the AFL or t...

Dumb comment. You just wasted the 6 seconds you took to type it.

No disrespect to Kate, but it is up to the parents to educate your children on the rights and wrongs of a capitalist society. You can say that betting is bad and causes bad things to happen. Guess what Joffaboy? I, like most parents do educate my children. What about the crappy parents that couldn'...

One thing to consider though, is that gambling and pole dancing and adult services are legal. If you are over 18 you have the right to use these services. We live in a free country and gambling and brothels are part of that freedom, even if one finds it personally distasteful. True, however smoking...

This is a problem that corncerns me as I have a nine year old boy who notices the sudden glut of gambling advertising. I don't have a strong moral objection to gambling, but I do not think it is something that should be marketed to children. The current tactic of displaying changing odds during the ...

Cox??? I barely sighted him.

The clash strip is growing on me. I like the way the white panel stretches over the players chests. It makes them look good.

I think that Milney is just beginning to mature as a footballer, which is odd given that he is thirty.

The thing I love about Milne, is the fact that other supporters seem to loathe him.

Raph Clarke - Solid.

I love Raphy Clarke. Showed spirit when there was few willing to.

The problem is clearly with Essendon's away strip. All the AFL has to do is apply the same rules to them as any other club - easy.

But Lovett, although not in the same category, deserves the same treatment as mass-murderers such as John Wayne Gacey, David Berkowicz and Ivan Milat.... the chance to defend themselves before a jury of their peers before being determined guilty. Hip, Hip Hooray to the OPP for making sure that he d...

I doubt the club would be able to bring evidence from the alleged rape victim into the unfair dissmissal case if she hasn't approached the club and made a compliant. I'm impressed by the decisive way the club has handled the matter. Would people be happier if we'd used the Carlton solution and given...

The more carried away they get, the bigger the thud when they fall. Who cares who wins, it's just a home and away game.

I was in the Victory Room on Monday night. I'm pretty sure that Lynch said that he was still a few weeks away.

Went to the Vicory room after the game. No Dempster. Only Lynch spoke.

Observation: Interesting threads on this forum tend to get wrecked on this forum by self-important individuals who are more interested in the opportunity of having a slanging match than by the actual content of the argument. Personally, when I see the poster is Plugger66, I know it is sadly time to ...

In order to put forward the FULL case for Lovett's dismissal, it is essential theat the club put forward everything that contributed to the descision. If the alleged victim made a complaint to the club, then that needs to be dealt with too. Lovett hasn't been punished at all. He can still have his g...
