[ I say martin is 100% responsible for violently threatening to stab and murder this woman. Read it slowly if it helps. Likely he should not have been served booze if he was drinking, but that doesn't make the bar staff or manager in any way responsible for his violent threats, only for contravenin...

Im saying NOTHING that came out of that woman's mouth (and certainly nothing she's reported to have said) could justify or excuse martin's response. Nobody is saying it does... but for some reason you're hearing it this why. It's mind boggling. Let's say she called him a C@n@! (very bad word) and t...

Did Winmar act optimally or most effectively or perfectly on that day at Vic park? He could've started a riot , there were no doubt countless drunk bogan unhinged dirtbags there that day. He should've put his head down and copped it. There are 1000's of dead people who were 100% within their rights...

Dragit - can I ask you something? Do you believe that the woman at the Freo game who asked the drunken fool to quieten down was foolish for doing so? Would you have yanked your wife or daughter away if she had confronted this man? I'm not trying to imply anything here, ie not saying your some sort ...

I don't see what gender has to do with this. Martin was being a dhead, a person requested that he quieten down and was threatened. There are quite a few men who have been killed stepping in to break up arguments, even here in Melbourne. I am more likely to be assaulted by someone I don't know on a n...

Parsons still available. Round 2

Faz to North. Wow.

Afl says that they don't think there has been collusion but the article brings up the idea that collusion may have occurred and that one club has stated that they were offered a pick as part of a trade on the proviso they didn't bid on an academy player.

It really makes you wonder how prevalent this stuff is. I mean fair dinkum, after we hear the son story about Bennell and his mental state when his photo surfaced, a bloke does this??? It really leaves you no choice other to assume drug taking is so prevalent that they don't even give a stuff about...

Talk about an over reaction. Even if it was Carlisle and even if it was coke, provided he doesn't get a strike, the club should give him a stern talking to and move on. As for WADA getting involved, as the op mentions, coke is only a WADA prohibited substance in season iirc.

Looks like the mafia has stolen pick 44 back over night and given it to Sydney. For those who don't like the AFL points valuation of draft positions look away. St Kilda OUT pick 5 = 1,878 points & pick 24 = 785 points, total = 2,663 points St Kilda IN pick 14 = 1,161 points, total + Carlilse va...

Won't miss a week regardless of guilty or not guilty.

Last night the deal looked like a win, win, win. Now it looks more like Essendon are massive winners, Saints close to break even and swans got the raw deal. Don't see why the swans went with that deal.

Browne is very close to Carlisle and his manager, but is known to go off a bit prematurely.

Would be pretty happy if we end up with Carlisle and a pick in the teens.

With all the father / son and academy players available this year, I am not sure that anyone will bid on Bailey which means we use our last pick. Not sure Carlton will bid now that he has chosen us. Someone might throw a third round bid in there to ensure we use something but I doubt it.

That thread has pretty much turned into an opposition forum anyway. 90% of the discussion in there lately has been about west coast.

No it wasn't

Pretty sure it was a bit higher than pick 5. He looked pretty good before the broken ankle.

Was chatting with him and his manager last week and he said it was between us and Carlton. He was having a meeting at Seaford and would announce his intentions within a week.

Unless the rule has changed if a player takes the ball out of the ruck and gets tackled it is a free kick. Only if he doesn't dispose of it correctly No - only if he is tackled (as I said unless the rule has changed) I don't get what you mean. You can grab it out of the rick and get tackled but as ...

Has to be a joke

2nd round might be enough now

One of the worst umpiring displays I have seen in years. The Hawks will have to hope for neutral umpires next week.

Is it just me or does priddis throw the ball regularly.
