Lemmey's a project. A work in progress...He was OK last week in defence, but there is a big jump from a 'try' in defence and a full game at AFL level. If Young's not selected that will set the rumour mill off again
Sam is on the list to provide injury cover. Harry is on the list because he has potential. The club has decided that Harry should play as a defender if he is going to realise that potential. That puts him ahead of Sam.
Of course, that's just speculation on my part ... Sam could have tweaked a hammy
We have to condition ourselves to there being less contact in the sport. Crouch didn't have to do that.
That's the way Crouch was taught to go for a ground ball. If Carroll had learnt the same technique, there would have been no head contact.
I agree that the game has to evolve to minimise head knocks but part of that evolution is a return to good technique and the elimination of foolhardy play encouraged by the rules as they are interpreted now. If two players went for the ball as Carroll did, it would have resulted in a head clash.
I just watched the footage of Crouch cleaning up Carroll. Crouch’s attack on the footy was perfect with his body turned to protect his head while gathering the ball. Carroll, on the other hand, led with his head and was always going to get collected.
The free was there but there is an argument that Carroll ducked into it.
Bot should study that footage and learn how to protect himself in that situation.
So tomorrow, I can walk into a room with my just my boss after hours and a week or so later, say she raped me and that's it? Sweet, might give it a crack and see what I can get. Might even see if I can get Justice Lee oversee proceedings.
You might need to fabricate some corroborating evidence and set up some eye witnesses first.
They kicked 16-4 which is crazy accurate. The 2 weeks prior they scored 8-15 and 4-10.
Yes, but as other posters have mentioned, they had nine shots from directly in front and within 40 metres. That accounted for eight goals and one behind. The ease with which they hit targets and were paid frees directly in front or on slight angles is damning.
At the other end, we scored two behinds from shots taken within 10 metres 🙄
I'm not sure whether there's a transcript of the Judge's decision online yet, but he addresses all these issues. (State of inebriation, activity at the bar, the entrance to Parliament). He goes into specific detail as to why he gives weight to some aspects and little weight to others.
It is a remarkable exercise in critical thinking, analysis, and a logical progression from evidence to conclusions … with a bit of humour thrown in.
I particularly appreciated his efforts to explain the points of proof required to reach his findings.
DJC posts in a General "Discussion" thread about the findings of the trial and then pulls the old "Your opinion is not worth anything".
Not quite true MBB. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but opinions - yours, mine, Baggers, etc - are insignificant in comparison to a 300 page judgement based on thousands of hours of evidence.
Thry may well be able to form an opinion on someone’s state of inebriation from CCTV footage but I can’t see Lehrmann’s lawyers calling him as an expert witness to rebut the evidence of Higgins’ inebriation that Justice Lee found to be compelling.
I think you have misunderstood my position. I don't believe ms Higgins was anywhere near as inebriated as people are insinuating. I think she and he ended up doing something that they were dismissed for, and have been in reputation fix mode ever since. Her way to get around that, was to sling mud somewhere else, it has stuck, because he is a potato and was already covered in dirt.
I haven’t misunderstood your position.
The evidence presented at the trial, including Lehrmann’s credit card transactions and eyewitness accounts led Justice Lee to conclude that Higgins was inebriated to the point where consensual sex wasn’t possible.
That’s not insinuation, it’s a conclusion based on considerably more evidence than you and I have seen.
Don’t forget that Lehrmann has always maintained that he did not have sex with Higgins and neither were dismissed from their roles. Both were employed in the same roles when Higgins eventually reported the rape.
