[Art Vandelay_]

Never forget how lucky you are if you get to come home tonight. For hundred's every year this doesn't happen.

That is shocking. So young.

 

[Hinkley29]

To be honest I thought he retired 3 years ago

 

[Hinkley29]

Dylan Grimes has announced his retirement. Richmond is fuuuuuuuuuuunked.

Baker, Bolton - request trades
Martin, Grimes - hang up the boots

Who's going to be left?

Hopper and Taranto

Good times

 

[Munich]

Well, I must admit, I HAVE considered offering her up Aztec style to the footy gods to make that happen

I don't know why but I always assumed you were an eligible bachelor

 

[Cataholic]

I don't know why but I always assumed you were an eligible bachelor

Not married, not a batchelor, and only eligible for day release atm

Big blow to Port. He’s one of their most important players.

What a shame

 

[Strange Cat]

Well deserved ban too

 

[CatToTheFuture]

**** - pretty sure all footy & sporting fans know Sam's name

I heard about the accident this morning but didn't hear it became a fatality until not long ago, and it was only with tonight's news that I heard a name finally put to the incident

Holy s*** he was so young

 

[Baudolino]

Personally I think that suspension is absurd, way too lengthy, but whatever.

I don’t it really needs to be stamped out he had other options
It was practically an old fashion shirtfront

What's your moral argument in favour of it not being worth a 10 week ban? It's a dangerous action that posed a long-term health risk to Rankine. Surely 5 weeks is insufficient. Why advocate for such leniency?

Why should a goal be only worth 6 points

 

[cats_09]

Why should a goal be only worth 6 points

Goals from outside 50m should be worth at least double that of a goal kicked from the goal square

Why have a scoring system at all? So long as everyone has fun, we're all winners.

Why aren't the shorts even shorter

I think scores should be allocated based off a probability heat map which takes pressure into account, with extra points given from using the non-preferred foot.

Get Warrick Capper to design the next set of playing gear

Found Warwick Cappe's account!

I think scores should be allocated based off a probability heat map which takes pressure into account, with extra points given from using the non-preferred foot.

I think a series of circles should be painted in the 50 metre arc each with a point value attached. Smaller circles with higher values, bigger circles with smaller values.

If you mark the ball in a circle you get awarded those points. No kicking for goal, so less stress for the kicker.

I agree it should had been longer but I’m unsure why you’re asking as you said the suspension was too lengthy?

 

[Baudolino]

How long would you have liked it to have been?

I think we are more likely to see Carlton lose by 201 points before we see Gold Coast win by 46 points, let alone Essington win at all.
