He was sentenced to 7 years, he will be out in 2 years.

Gets a warning for such an obscene public act, but another farang last year gets a 5k baht fine for simply having his shirt off.

He might be still licking his wounds after you gave him a touch up over the weekend

 

A few of the new kids on the block lowered their colours over the weekend and an underwhelming performance from the leather whisperer Tom Mitchell (86) was a bit frustrating and having to hold onto Jake Lever due to some late mail on injuries was another annoyance. Fingers crossed I'll be able to offload him this week and make a few more tweaks before taking on Chooks this weekend.

You will want to bring your main game Grant, my boys are flying and had 3 short against Rip and we both were just under 1900 points.  You better aim for 2100 as I'll be playing with a full deck this week.

Needs to be tied down and whipped just like that poor baby and then castrated and never to be released from prison an absolute animal .

Will never happen as Victoria's judicial system is the softest in the world.  Will be very lucky if he actually sees inside a prison.

Even when Carlton was a powerhouse, I much preferred seeing my beloved Blues losing in a thriller, then smashing the other team by ten goals.

 

Round four was the most boring I can remember for ages.   Only the Swans Dogs game had a detectable pulse.  The total winning scores v. total losing scores was 144.99 (963) to 66.79 (477)   

 

On another topic, I am very grateful that the AFL has a pro-active policy where doctors have the power to prevent an injured player from continuing in a game, even if the player wants to go on.   An athlete's competitive desire sometimes overrides his own health and welfare considerations.

 

Today, we watched a very distressing incident in the Commonwealth Games Marathon where the clear leader, only about one kilometre to  the finish line, collapsed twice.   He was clearly in  physical and mental shutdown.  For a few critical minutes, he did not receive any assistance, and any such first-aid would have disqualified him from the race.

 

Despite initially refusing help, fortunately, he eventually was treated by medicos and taken to hospital, and is now recovering.   I am sure top level officials will discuss this issue in their review of the games.

 

 

 

The Dillon Roberton incident yesterday where he was taken straight to hospital is a perfect example

 Kilda backman Dylan Roberton is ‘alert’ and ‘doing well’ after collapsing behind play in a horrifying moment during Sunday’s Round 4 clash against Geelong.

Roberton went down due to a suspected irregular heartbeat early in the second quarter at GMHBA Stadium, stunning team-mates, coaches and fans.

Speaking after the game, Saints coach Alan Richardson revealed the defender is showing positive signs as he recovers in hospital.

“The doc just spoke to the playing group, it looks like some sort of irregular heartbeat,” Richardson revealed.

“He’s at (Geelong’s) Epworth Hospital and from all reports he's alert, he's eating, so certainly for the family members that are home at the moment, from all reports he's doing well.

“It was obviously a bit of a shock, shocked a few of his mates, but he’s doing well at the minute, which is positive.”

Roberton left the ground under his own steam after the incident but Richardson admits the 26-year-old’s collapse sent a shock through the St Kilda camp.

“I've never really seen anything like that so my thoughts immediately go towards the player," he said.

career criminal; bury him in a deep,dark jail

That's a little harsh.  Can't you see his wai in the photo

Think I'm going to pull rips pants down in fantasy.  10 players yet to play to rips 6 and only 200 points behind.

Most intercepted, fair enough but you missed the ones that achieved the objective

Shove up those missiles up your asses white hypocrites, because it only sends a message to Assad and Russians to keep killing Syrian children and their families but without the use of chemicals.

A little bit racist there.

I'm not an American but I now sit and wonder about all the anti Trump people who said he was sleeping with Putin and Russia rigged the elections to get their boy in over Hillary.  I'm thinking to myself just how stupid these anti trump people now look in the eyes of others around the world.

I world love a trump to running Australia, a man with balls who throws out these ridiculous racist and political correctness cards that all the me, me, me snowflake generation now carry.  Trump is the only politician in the world to make little kimmy sit up and think and ask for talks.  He warned Syria and they tried to call his bluff. Donald, you are a strong, straight shooting leader with not crap attached.

No state government is going to build a stadium for a 100 000 capacity that will be filled once a year.

 

Let's be honest, it wouldn't matter if other states had a ground with that capacity anyway.

Everyone knows it's not a true national comp.

Moving the grand final from the MCG is like rotating the Melbourne Cup from state to state.

Geez I know it was Friday the 13th but the Crows really got their pants pulled down at home.  Pies fans will be talking premiership now and bucks will be resigned for another 5.

GF at MCG until 2057 as part of $500m mega-deal

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-04-12/gf-at-mcg-until-2057-as-part-of-500m-megadeal

The grand final is one of the largest sporting events on the calendar and generates mega millions into the local economy.  The state government has just made a $200m plus investment like they do with melb cup, aust open, grand prix, motto G.P etc.  Other state governments need the same commitment and the willingness to invest also build a major stadium on the scale of the MCG might help also.

OMG that kid needs to be taken down, he could take down the whole government with that baby.

They can't be serious, made the aussie news as a bit of comedy.

Yes I know I have been hanging it on that dud McCartin for 4 years, so called number 1 pick.  Seriously who thinks the maggot after 21 games in 3 and a half seasons will be a place or the next Riewoldt.   Nick played round 2 of his 1st season and never looked back.  Was captain of the saints where Paddy the turd is now.
