What's this talk of "meters gained"?

Another example of the remarkable increase in things I know nothing about I expect.

Scea, I'm pretty sure it's how far a player runs with the ball and kicks it forward.

[seajae]

Managed to get myself to the arse end of the tipping comp...the only way is up!!

Hawks v Dons GF anyone.

Rnd 4's got a few curly ones

Tiges v Pies ?

Freo v Dons?

Blues v Dee's.....

well after the pies were done by the ctas they will be pissed and wanting revenge, tiges might not have enough to stop them and freo at home after being belted will also want to kick some butt but it will be a close game thats for sure especially of chappie is firing

they seem to be trying to make it sound like rugby now, metres gained, what ever happened to using the positions, back pocket to centre wing etc, next it will be scrums instead of ball ups

[sceadugenga]

Sounds like what the Yanks call yardage...

[Will27]

Well, the MRP still continues to amaze me.

I know they have the points system and early plea's etc.

But if anyone can tell me that Fyfe gets 2 weeks for his and

Merret can get the same with an early plea for his, well I'm

watching the wrong game.

Merrett looks like he wanted to kill the guy and struck him

with an elbow.

I think, for cases where a player hits or elbows a guy in the head,

they should have a minimum of 4 weeks with no reductions.

Surely they have to look at intent?

All true, but the Dons have a pretty good record at Subi and I never tire of seeing Freo get beaten..

I think Essendon will be favourites with the Freos injuries . http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-04-07/freo-forwards-in-doubt

The MRP is starting to become predictable - so I guess that's almost the same as consistent - in producing left field decisions.

Intent is assessed Will, I think it was the impact that saved him - medium impact? Is that like saying it was an average attempt to take Swallows head off because he missed

I see they threw out the report on McVeigh, a good decision and a stupid report by the nuclear maggots...

Also note that nobody was fined for umpire contact in the Crows v Swans game after the ump when arse over tit in a ball up..

Has any noticed there are now 2 female goal umpires in the AFL. It is good to see.

Edit spelling

[sceadugenga]

I know a few male football umpires that should be umpiring netball as well.

[farmerjo]

My tips this week are-

Collingwood,bulldogs,port,hawks,swans,crows,bombers,cats and the blues.

Don't like to tip against my beloved kangaroos but we don't have a great record in sydney.

Recently you don't, but historically, you do

There was a time when North played their home game against Sydney, in Sydney, that was a bitch to get members tickets to. Because it wasn't technically a Swans home game so we Swans members were locked out. Fortunately a mate of mine was a North member so we had limited access.

I am loathe to tip NM as they do the opposite of my pick.

I didn't see any of either Swans or NM game last week, but despite Sydney's win, their stats were lower than Adelaide and overall seemed average.

Suns are certainly jumping at the chance. They're full of beans down there. Seems a big ask though.

I think this journo must be reading Thai Visa

"For Fremantle midfielder Nat Fyfe to get a two-game ban for an accidental banging of heads when he chose to bump - and Brisbane defender Daniel Merrett to get the same penalty for raising a forearm to a head in a marking contest highlights how the MRP is a complete failure."
