I picked the Dockers and that got me to six.

The Vic commentators will never change. I can't stand listening to Brereton screaming for frees for whichever Victorian team is playing an interstate side. (And dismissing obvious kicks the other way with comments like "soft" or "wasn't there".) 

 

Lockett Medal, I like it, makes sense.  The AFL goals record holder, not a regional competition person.

But there is this;

I know I picked the Dockers..  And won money on it.  It would have got me 7 correct for the round.

But my tips show I picked the dogs.  There is a stuff up somewhere.

[GrantSmith]

Anyone know how a retiring player serves out a suspension from their last game? Sauce Merrett was given 3 matches for his Danny Frawley on Savage, 2 if he takes an early plea.

Haha!!!  That's even more desperate than banning someone for suspected double tips.

Yeah Lynchy got 10 weeks and a $10k fine wasn't it? Sauce only copped the imaginary suspension... Thought he was a bit stiff to get offered 3 down to 2 though

 

I hope he fights it, just for shits and giggles

Justin Leppitsch was never given a fair chance coaching the Brisbane Lions

We may never know if Justin Leppitsch can or cannot coach.

Whatever his inadequacies, they were grossly outweighed by those of the environment in which he tried to ply his skills.

Pretty tough, but he really had run out of chances. I wonder who will be next?

How different things might have been if the AFL hadn't set up a second team in SE Queensland. The code's pretty sick here right now.

I think its more than the second team up there...

Brissie has been poorly managed for years now and that has flowed through the entire club.  Losing those top 5 recruits for nothing and the infighting and court challenges at board level...

You just dont see that at well run clubs.

Leppitsch had his shot...but sometimes it doesn't happen....PLenty of other coaches who will take it on

Jonathan Brown latigazos dysfunctional Lions, shake out is coming and it wont need old johnno to get the ball moving, AFL are right behind the removal of Leppitsch.

 

GWS former numero uno Lachine Whitfield under investigation for avoiding a drug test text message between himself and the girlfriend are the centre of the investigation, well that will get you into trouble, young people and there love affair with sms drives me mad....told my son many times to phone as i haven't got half the day to reply to his text message conversations.

 

The sacudir (shake out) is on at Tiger land some well known names out of contract told not to bother returning to work on monday  assistants Mark Williams and Brendon Lade of a group of 5 made the bohordo goats ..........Hardwick was a fine hard nut player rather ruthless in defence he was....continues it into his coaching, Kevin Mr nice guy Sheedy taught him well, always polite and smiling got rid of anyone that could be a threat to him players and coaches alike thats how you get to coach in the AFL for 23 years at the one club.

 

4 & 20 demote Balme with Hine left disenchanted with the appointment of Graeme Allen as football director, Balme could be on the move with Lions searching for an experienced director of football.

No mate they moved the jail from where i use to live to not far from where i now live...bastards are following me around, stuck it mid way  between the ring road turn off and my turn off.....nice new prison, i thought it was small while i was watching then build it, 6 months ago they started a new one next door would be at least 5 times the size so there obviously expecting to fill it up pretty soon....and i dout it will be finished this year....

 

By the way one of the most unpleasant experiences I've ever had was working in Pentrige prison for one day, when a young fella i was working for a company that was contracted to do some work in the section of the "DAMED" thats where all the crooks and murderers and low lifes of the planet who didn't thing twice off snuffing someone, anyone with a bad attitude who wouldn't follow instructions etc where dumped in there.

 

We had to replace the bars on the windows with Hardend metal ones so the trusty hack saw couldn't cut through as there had been a recent escape....they found the guy in NZ 5 months later, anyway we came in as the prisoners were coming out thank god and each one of us had a screw to watch over us mine had a habit of meandering away like 100 meters which at times made me feel rather unwell when a few prisoners came near me....the first cell i worked on was of a guy about 45 he looked fit i continued to work on the cells over looking the pool and football ground....this guy ran around the football ground for 3 hours non stop....most of the prisoners in this block wouldn't work thats right wouldn't so they didn't try and make them they spent there time getting fit....they looked better than any VFL player id ever come close to seeing and i saw plenty in those days as i use to be a footy junkie and go to practice games  then mingle with em later...

 

The highlight of the day came when we should have stopped at 3 and got out but no my smart arse forman thought we could get another 15 mins in.....well when these very fit looking dudes came back from there work outs and what evers were rather pissed off to see us still there....threats and intimidation followed then the gestapo looking police arrived to take one of the brothers away at the same time, they hand cuffed him then dragged his sorry ass out of there and i mean dragged as he wasn't going to walk then a god dam riot started and guess where my work crew where? You guessed it we were right in the middle of it...my guts was so over worked from turning over all day when the high light of the day came i got out of there like a shot from a cannon....just ...was something like the raiders of the lost ark....Getting back to the workshop i politely told the big boss in no uncertain terms i was not going back....

Prisons can be depressing places Alex.

My work took me inside nearly every prison in Western Australia, the exceptions being a couple of bush "aboriginal" prisons. Probably the most uncomfortable experiences for me were inside Bandyup  women's prison. Any unknown men going inside were subject to intense scrutiny from some of the nastiest woman prisoners in the State, including infamous serial killers.

 

Shortly after the huge Fremantle Jail riot in 1988, I had to interview one of the ringleaders of the riot. He was escorted to the room by 5 or 6 officers, put into the room with me and the door locked. When he realised I wasn't part of the prison establishment, the tension dropped off him dramatically and he ended up in tears as he told his life story. He was still deported when eventually released.

 

Probably my worst prison experience was in Bunbury where the warden invited me to stay for lunch. Cooked by inmates it was probably the worst slop I've ever had to consume, and  I still had to pretend to be gracious to my host.

I'm sure the warden was satisfied that the inmates hadn't added any human bodily fluids into the recipe.

 

In my days of wearing a blue uniform with badges on the shoulders, we stuck to the following rule when buying a take-away lunch,

 

'Never Order Food That You Can't See Being Made In Front Of Your Eyes.'

I remember being worried about exactly that, at the time.  Bunbury Prison was where they put most of the sex offenders.  I still don't know how you burn mash potato!

In the job I had, It was necessary to remember in which restaurants you've been working, and avoid them on social outings. Favourite places were sometimes bypassed so as not to lose them for future outings.

GWS and Lachie Whitfield quickly spiralling out of control..distraction for finals

The long-standing AFL career and reputation of Graeme Allan hangs in the balance amid allegations that the former Giants football boss deleted text messages concerning an attempt to protect the club's former No.1 draft pick Lachie Whitfield from drug-testers.

Allan, Whitfield and the club's then welfare manager Craig Lambert face bans of between two and four years should the  evidence against them be proven.

 The AFL, which has known about the allegations for almost 15 months, will now hand details of its lengthy investigation to the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority.

The text messages allegedly deleted by Allan would have been part of evidence in the case that  Whitfield's former girlfriend contacted the club and later submitted evidence that the player was helped by club officials following drug concerns. Lambert is also alleged to have deleted text messages.

Whitfield's then girlfriend was initially motivated by concerns for his health and welfare. Whitfield, who is expected to line up for Greater Western Sydney in their historic first final at ANZ Stadium on September 10, is alleged to have turned to the two club officials amid concerns that he risked being found guilty of testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance after taking illicit drugs.

Allan, as revealed on Monday by Fairfax Media, organised for the player to spend a short period of time at the home of Lambert and away from the club in May 2015. The player did not alert the relevant anti-doping authorities and was reportedly not advised to do so. 

The AFL's integrity unit has significantly widened its investigation beyond the telephone evidence submitted by Whitfield's former girlfriend.

A new trend of African born players is looming, Almir from the Swans Chol from the Tigers and lets not forget Daw from the Roos make imposing figures, Sudanese stand long and tall (have you seen some of the stunning women?)  Essendon have Gach Nyuon and the Dogs Jason Johannisen a Sth African, 3 more are in the Academy , Kevin Sheehan is big wraps for them and why wouldn't you be? African americans dominate track and field African players are major players in all codes around the world so yes the next Jimmy Stynes will be 7ft tall silky black run like the wind talent to burn and win the Brownlow every year.....

Ms. Lambert selflessly gave up her time and space to the GWS team

 

Whitfield has said he was suffering from a migraine and it was common for players to stay at Lambert's house rather than stay alone.
