Read this morning Tex wont play....5 GF players out of the team which makes my prediction that the Bombers are looking good and sure to cause an upset...in my mind the Crows are not that good....Bombers are better than most think especially at home.

 

Fj's boys are even money in my mind now....just waiting on team selections before i switch my pick...Up there Cazaly...

Lovely Sth Aussie K Cornes...always admired him and what he brought to the game....Buuuuuuut he didnt have his cornflakes this morning still i admire him for sticking his neck out so far.....As for Adam...he moved camp and retired to early says a lot about his prediction ....it is written in the sand......Tigers will struggle even to make the 8 this year...its 1981 all over again...

Tigers are hot to trot,mind you the last team i saw that good in a pre season was the Eagles last year and they came up short.

With all the talk of the 1st year rookies for fantasy i've gone out on a limb and picked Saint Paddy in my team,think he can make a few bucks till he gets knocked out.

Two days to go.Tigers and Blues usually have good games regardless of ladder position.

 

I hope we didn't scare him off

I don't think it's that bad TBH.

 

All of the games live and can watch replays plus the Fox Footy shows.

Chooks, what's your expectations for the Saints this year?

Top eight or not?

 

I know Richo's been extended until the end of 2020. I don't know why

clubs do that TBH.  Why not just wait until the halfway mark of the year?

 

Most people including myself think West Coast will slip this year.

I couldn't believe that Robert Walls picked us to win the spoon and Hutchy

on Footy Classified picked us to finish 17th.

 

Eight to 12th for me.

Anything less than 8th will be another wasted year.  Into the 7th year of our 5 yr rebuild.

A big congratulations to myself for leading the footy tipping.  Catch me if you can guys.

 Will male players be able to take their suspensions to the human rights commission?

 

Western Bulldogs captain Katie Brennan out of AFLW Grand Final but will fight case in court.

 

 THE courtroom — not the goalsquare — could await for Western Bulldogs captain Katie Brennan who gave up her fight to play in the AFLW Grand Final but will continue it at the Australian Human Rights Commission.

My 2 cents worth about extending contracts....the clubs would have factor in the sacking costs, contracts would also have some sort of out clause, most coaches are forced out...... mainly they do it to show solidarity, faith in the system and for team harmony dear WILL.....

I understand why they do it, but I don't think it's necessary.

 

Richardson was out of contract at the end of this year.

Why not wait until rounds 14 or 15 or even until the end of the year.

It's not like a club will headhunt him.

 

If the Saints are going well, re-sign him. If they're 4 - 10 for example,

flick him.

 

There would be no sacking costs apart from paying out his contract for the

year which they would do anyway.

 

Now if they have a shocking year, they cannot sack him.

 

I don't think it's a good business decision.

Can't see how the girls are being treated differently they get to play AFL even tho the standard is worse than Auskick.   They get paid even tho their league creates zero revenue. They want to play a man's games but they want feminine rules and penalties.  They have played a dozen games and already have been crowned as legends, all time greats and superstars of football.  It's the real footballers, the men who are being treated differently Geez the guys even have to have a smidgen of talent to get drafted.  And as for Katie, Alex I don't think she is attracted to men and she probably wouldn't crawl over Mrs Alex to get to you.

Serena Williams has been demanding equal rights and rewards for female tennis players for yonks now   After all, men and women should be treated equally and fairly in all aspects of life, right?

 

From this point in time to ensure that there is no favouritism or division between the sexes, women will have to compete with men on the courts in five sets, not the three which they are used to. Williams may be lucky to scrape into the top 1000 ranked players, and her future earnings will plummet.

 

Yes, that is a ridiculous scenario, but my point is that so many female libbers' demands are based only on equality where it suits their agendas. Males are MUCH better than females at most sports which is why their prizemoney should be so much higher.

 

Crowds go to the men's tennis to watch the magnificent tennis. Crowds go to the women's tennis to watch the magnificent women.

I can't quite understand the rules. I thought Patrick Dangerfield was suspended last year for a sling tackle so can't understand why they are saying there are fines for a sling tackle. I worked at Etihad for several AFLW games. Being polite and politically correct, but referring to your "crawling over Mrs Alex" comment, the crowd (if you could call it that) were not very polite and hard ťo deal with.

Rule now is 2500 for first offence 5000 second.

Womens league because of lower match payments chose to go the tribunal/game suspension route rather than getting hit with a fine.

You have only one direction to go from here chook

At this point I'll just quote Forum rule 11.

 

11) You will not post slurs, degrading or overly negative comments directed towards Thailand, specific locations, Thai institutions such as the judicial or law enforcement system, Thai culture, Thai people or any other group on the basis of race, nationality, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

 

Lets keep this topic on track, if you have issues with the AFLW and the sexuality of it's players this forum is not the place for them.

The rules you're referring to are for low level classified offences such as a punch to the guts.

 

I'm pretty sure Dangerfield got done for rough conduct and I don't think anything has changed from last year.

 

Watching the game yesterday, Jack Steven bursts down the ground and the commentator Sandy Roberts yells, what are you doing jack kick it to McCartin.  I'm on the sofa yelling no jack don't bloody kick it to McCartin, glad jacky boy listened to me.

Key players would be coming out of contract...really its many things...i recall baily at the Dee's the players loved him.....couldnt win a game...cant have players holding off contract talks to see if the coach is going to be hanging around...the $ for the coache's sacking has been factored in...might not make sense to you and me and the average punter the fact all clubs are doing it means there is a very good reason for it.
