AlexRRR Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Well here we are march 9th less than 2 weeks to the start of the AFL season, and not before time, but this year its more important than ever.....CoronaVirus causing havoc around the world, stock markets crashing left right and centre is this the begging to the end? yes well we never did learn the lessons of the rampant 80's the era of the middle classes who drive the economy getting screwed to the ground and were still there , nailed to the cross like Jesus Christ and Rod Grinter....( I can never forgive or forget the first trial by video, a blight on the landscape of Victorian Football....) Bobby Hawks a powerful visionary and charismatic human helped seal the fate of the working classes and middle classes in AU, Keating too....not to long after I switch to being a Lib.....but hey they had a plan even if it pretty much destroyed the fabric of Australia, but plans or theory often looking good in reality dont match the expectations..... Central banks dropping interest rates so low especially here in AU we have NOTHING left to pull us out of the heading south J curve were in, money so cheap most are up to there eye balls in debt...what does that spell?......gees what got me going this morning? Reading CNN and its my now go to website when I wake.....https://edition.cnn.com/2020/03/07/asia/japan-tokyo-fire-raids-operation-meetinghouse-intl-hnk/index.html you should read this, with friends like this who needs an enemy's....back in world war2 such devastation, and on the public...no strategic value at all.....I a long time ago thought that the world would not destroy itself by war in fact the David Bowie move "The Man Who Fell To Earth" showed us how we would do it to ourselves....so is it coming soon to a channel near you? When you get 2 women charged with affray over toilet rolls you know were sinking low and fast, there is a vid out of 3 women fighting in a Sydney Wollies as one woman loading up her cart with precious gold that are Toilet Rolls...the new currency....the second saying I only want one pack....and a brawl did start...In court sometime this week, WILL get a slap on the wrist and made to look stupid or WILL they? all over the tv and hopefully WILL get people to see reason.... Aussie guy pulls up at a Macdonalds drive through window has ordered and is about to pay for his purchase with left hand reaches out and grabs a toilet roll....rolls off about a meter of toilet paper and hands it to the cashier who accepts willingly....this joke vid is circulating in FB messenger, we have almost come to this....Even my old TFG told me she heard about the run on toilet paper here...and shes in Rangoon like you know....they have tv's and news channels there? Maybe shes reading Apple News on her new purple iPhone...No chance, smart she is they only thing she would pick up to read is a fashion magazine its like honey to a bee, well the hospital she works for wouldnt have rank and file ordinary people as customers in it no sir....maybe the only hospital in Rangoon or even all of Maynamar, think it would be reserved for the junta and there families and friends...like they would have real medicine and real doctors .....you know where im going with this.....so some general must have told her.... We need football back to take our mind of the depression of our minds thats about to begin......Dee's women's team kick a big score second week in a row....loosing to the lowly Saints got there mojo working....and I have no idea what a mojo is...seems to pop up in blues songs a lot.... and it was too the Eagles in Melbourne...a 9 goal pasting.....a taste of things to come? While the other Eagles go down by a point to Freo in Perth a sign is on the wall...paying overs for a player WILL <deleted> many in the club off..... https://www.afl.com.au/news/381501/listen-goodwin-s-spiritual-journey-after-season-in-hell The spiritual journey of Simon Goodwin....I read it no way WILL I watch it...after loosing the plot he had to do something I could have told him to read "Dont Sweat the Small Stuff" but thats only a part of it, and no I never read that book, my next door neighbour did when his female best friend brassed him off and like so many of them self help books there pretty much based on Buddhist practices, me I went straight to the source I read about 10 Buddhist books one after the other and mainly by the Dali Lama back in the 90's and early 2000's yes took me a while for it to sink in, It can take a while for my brain to absorb, BUT you know the Dali Lama uses hard words a lot, and im just a humble tradie... To be a Demon supporter and ex 20 year veteran member the mind gets beaten up a lot, I too need to seek out my spiritual side ooommmm.....I did go to a few Buddhist temples here in Melbourne and around that time decided I wanted to go to a Buddhist country to see how they operated, so about 16 ys ago I did venture forth with ex Chinese GF in tow to vist Thailand...now the moral of this story is to do the planning yourself, I gave Christina a criteria which she needed to fill.......beach, sailing, ( use to sail in them days) and a few other things I forget now....and she came back with Pattaya....can you believe? The first thing I did was and our hotel was double entry the rear was on the Beach road was go to the beach and look for sailing boats but all I seen were a bunch of rusty things out there...first time I went to the beach I cut my foot....lucky she was a nurse....so it was the pool....and that was full of bar girls....even I didnt know much about what went on there it was pretty self explanatory what was going on...all these mid 40s and + men with like babies hanging around the pool....so that was it just one swim...I did find it distasteful then I since project the Buddhist view and look into the middle distance and pretty much dont sweat the small stuff anymore.... https://www.afl.com.au/news/381474/twenty-years-ago-today-a-stadium-was-born It was 20 years ago today Sargent Pepper taught the band to play, and the dome did become a reality, my opinion of the dome is .......under sufferance I would go....for some reason i prefer to watch Victory play there than the Demons...and I do not know why, seen a number of Victory games there normally big games and in evenings of a Saturday night, haven't seen the beloved Dee's play there in years in fact I haven't been to a live Dee game in years and never will again, AFL push you to stay home and eat ur 40n20 in the living room, I laugh every time i see a game with a deserted stadium...and I say you deserve it...so many more patrons would be there if they didnt try and flog your once free members area as reserved seating, front office did contact me a few times trying to entice me back baaaaa said i.....you made your bed you can lay in it..... Optus Dome Telstra Dome now Marvel Stadium I think its called is not fit for older folks....way to high up and of course they charge you more to sit where you dont need bicnoculors, never mind I wont even go there to watch Victory anymore much prefer AAMI Stadium to watch soccer and even I may have been to my last game there as well now....as old age sets in that recline leather lounge is a new attraction all of its own or the new comfy office chair I bought if I watch on the pc....Victory and its offical are done and dusted, could be there worst ever season and there got some good players in the squad currently 9th out of 11 teams Sydney stitched them up good and proper on Saturday night 4-1 lucky I was out and didnt need to deal with the second half onslaught..... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karma, what did Wallace do wrong? That was brutal, even for that era. Grinter was a thug. AFL great Terry Wallace has revealed he thought he had bitten off his tongue after the vicious 1988 clash with Melbourne’s Rod Grinter. Wallace needed 80 stitches and surgery to fix a “fractured mandible” and “disintegrated” bottom lip. “He dislodged my top two teeth, they were knocked out at the time, fractured the mandible ... I actually thought I’d bitten off my tongue because that (mandible) piece was flat on my tongue, disintegrated my bottom lip,” Wallace told Mike Sheahan for Tuesday’s episode of Fox Footy’s Open Mike. “I had to have reconstructive surgery to the face which meant plates put in, I had about 80 stitches (inside and out), had to have plastic surgery to reconstruct my bottom lip at the time and then probably about two months after that I started suffering with vertigo and so I used to have Stemetil injections to play out the rest of my career so it had a pretty big impact at the time.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace would never had said he was a ducker... I know he was a DUCKER.... I seen countless Hawk games at princess park...I loved the Hawks then almost as much as the Dee's....and I seen Wallace play plenty of times....He was a DUCKER...(for those that dont know Wallace spent most of his former years with the Hawks playing in the centre) Wallace was closet to me...10 yards away directly in front and I had a clear vision of the entire episode.....coming out from the pack was Grinter launched at him as in other words had taken off like a plane...a dive if you WILL...I can still see it in my mind...the vid cameras were a different angle to me im exactly on the wing, Rod with outstretched arms comes flying over the twerp spots him and DUCKS....I see both Wallace and Grinter no one was between my vision....I mean hes a short guy anyway but gees to duck makes you even shorter....They hit and of course he is stunned and badly...I dont even recall a free kick being given but it might have for over the shoulder... THE UMPIRES DID NOT REPORT IT....DID NOT SEE A REPORT IN IT the umpire was standing around well within my vision to the left and behind or to the northern end side, he was close id say within 10 to 15 yards, BOTH umps didnt think it was reportable.... I live in Melbourne....well with the bad injury suffered the press got on the case...trail by VID..took a couple of days but with relentless press the VFL had a look at it....and of course when you slow it right down it looks way worse... The VFL nor the umps thought it reportable for the first few days after the Saturday game it was the PRESS pursuit that crucified Rod Grinter who along with JC became a martyr, I was here and I had to put up with this <deleted>.....And im still bleeding over it....that ban for Grinter shortened his career and was a marked man from then on...

AlexRRR Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Karma....Wallace's Karma is about playing it up when he didnt take any responsibility for his part in the tackle....the runt should have fobbed it off as part of the game like just about everyone else .....And in that day and age the wronged player would go to the tribunal and either have amnesia or play it down but not WALLACE... Wasnt too long after that the VFL began looking at DUCKERS, by that time he had retired, DUCKING was discouraged....... The VFL openly discouraged ducking when you had the ball.......... were today that part of the game we hardly ever see.... Wallace was lined up to take the coaching gig at the Swans but with Roos doing a good job that was that...and im sure a few Melbourne clubs didnt want him around anyway, he Wallace did have to much of an opinion especially in them days...even I disliked him over this I did like his coaching and what he did for the Dogs, I did think he would make a great coach he was that sort off player....the Ron Barassi type but no way as good....

Wallace didn't play it up at all. He actually played the next week. I guess 80 stitches and surgery was not enough for you. Grinter was suspended for 31 weeks but just unlucky I guess. "Responsibility for his part in the tackle"? It wasn't a tackle, It was a swinging arm to the head. No one spoils like that. If you think Wallace ducked in that incident you need to go to Specsavers.

Look fella i was there, right in front, the 2 feild umps were close by and lets not forget the boundry ump as well......he was charged after the press went crazy, in the end when you watch the video 50 times in slow motion your going to find something, and lets not forget Wallace ducked into the tackle these days you dont get a free for that, anddddddddd not long after that incident the VFL went on to stamp out ducking..... Well if he played the week after it couldnt have hurt to much i mean he wasnt even concused then, im pretty sure his reputation, Grinters, had been building so it was pretty easy to get a conviction if Rod was guilty of anything then it would have been a head high tackle which is not a reportable offence, the injury to Wallace occured becasue he ducked and turned his head towards a flying Grinter...i seen it all....at least 2 umps seen it all..... The Bulldog members as i was right in front of there main stand did yelp quite a bit but not to a degree where the Western Oval just sunk into a big hole.... If someone needed 6 weeks off it was that looney Rythes Jones did i see him cut-off heads at the G one day? yes i did...and all he got was 1 week off...he was serioulsy out there to hurt, and that Bomber Andrews.....another dirty player...Bobbie Walls....theres a few who got away with murder......

Ho good to hear that....but I know its a ploy of yours......like the premiership captain saying half the team is injured but instead it's the coach playing mind games even before the seasons started.... You know I was on that wing at that very moment and seen it all....I seen the duck and I know Wallace well....anyway 30 years later im still not over it.... https://edition.cnn.com/2020/03/10/business/russia-us-shale-oil-putin-opec/index.html cheap fuel for you and expect it to go down...I keep topping up the GTI with 98 cause cant believe how cheap it is, like WILL it stay like this for how long?????...so nervous an I I just fill up every 200ks.....yep the beast WILL run on 95 nice of VW to do that as the Mini Coper S was a pure 98 job I did run the BM on 98 as well even though it could on 91, but It purred like a kitten on 98 and was economical so the extra $ spent on fuel came back to me in ks on the road....and then the engine.....loved the stuff.....purrrrrrr....even the old Toyota van I began running on 95....yep I could be considered a dill...by then I got stuck on a job for 2 ys 12 ks away so you know...it loved it....no rattles anymore from that engine... Ps....windows got tinted and the car was dropped 30mm last week...its looking like a dream now....I cant believe VW sell sports cars stuck up in the air so high it looks an SUV. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/03/09/health/toilet-paper-shortages-novel-coronavirus-trnd/index.html Its Heard Mentality actually........and now world wide....my theory on wiping your ass is go buy a news paper.....when I was a wee little kid with an outside dunnie we used torn up The Age to wipe our bums....or you can buy a bag off rags from Bunnings then wash and Re use....why is it so hard? its a bit like nappies....when my kids were young we used material nappies and washed them now days its reusable nappies....throw away tools too...everything is throw away except in Thailand they fix things there...like I had an old iron I took with me when I lived there for a while and something happened to it so then current TGF told me where I could go....well.....idiot made it worse..a frigging screw head stuck out and you couldnt iron anything....well 50B....

Well you woudnt have noticed the duck would you? Have you considered that what you believe you saw was he was ducking to avoid the arm? In crime cases it is considered by experts that witness testimony is the most unreliable. The mind convinces itself it sees something and believes it as, whether it actually has ot not. Do you consider that's a possibility here? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookmanBkk Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Here is Rod Grinter for his self-propaganda session on Open Mike back in 2016, 30 years after his onfield assault of Wallace Grinter had 10 reports with 31 games suspended. Grinter talks about the Wallace incident 4 minutes into the video. He claims he had a bad habit of round arm tackles/spoils, in this case he says he missed ball by a whisker and hit Terry in the mouth. He also claims that it was trial by video that saw him get 6 weeks and the fact the video angle was so bad Grinter calls his tackle reckless and vicious, though he denies he knew Terry was there. This is an odd thing to say in itself as Grinter was coming from behind Wallace, so his failure to notice a 90 kilo 6 foot player in front of him seems strange Another important aspect here, in the case against Wallace ducking into the tackle is that Wallace is in the air when he is coathangered. Is it possible for Wallace to have ducked into a straightarm tackle whilst he is in the air, feet off the ground? I will let TVF detectives investigate further for themselves https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_2HbctH3gk&list=PLbfT0CgL4_DLDAhCyJgI1HT9MyuwCVOTU&index=72 U&index=72 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He punched him in the mouth. OJ wouldn't have got off of that one. Edited March 11, 2020 by Will27 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post farmerjo Posted March 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2020 In Alex's defence the ball was there in the swinging motion before Wallace got hit.???? I guess you could say backmen were more known to be stodgy than skilled in those days. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I've seen a more silkier smoother mover than Micky. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Will27 Posted March 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2020 Just to put Grinter's suspension of 6 weeks into context. In the seventies and eighties, you would get 4 weeks for attempted murder. Leigh Mathews got 4 weeks (deregistered) for breaking Neville Bruns jaw behind play. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both were fearsome. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
