Robert Heatley Stand / Re: List Changes 2018
Thats how I read it, he was sick of waiting and went for the security....his form did drop away though so I can understand the clubs position and given the age profile requirements
the odds were against him and I think he knew it......smart player and one of my favs...

Neat player no doubt, but not someone to sell the farm for and Matty knows and understands this.
With a child on the way what would you do ?
Captain the SA Cows and develop your coaching resume for the next three years with family and old friends to support your wife and child or take a 1 year deal with us ?
If she wasn’t expecting he probably would’ve taken our offer...

Yes, I suppose I'm oppressed by a minority that believe two wrongs make a right! :o

I don't claim to know the answer to these issues, I'm not that arrogant, and I'm not even sure a real issue exists as it often appears to impartial observers like it is an artificial social construct, but I'll never stop asking the questions! ;)

It only exists in your mind, which you then regurgitate and then later blame the media or “them”

Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Club & Coach Ratings
Sorry, if the club is influenced by Kermit the Frog and Fozzie Bear, then we really do have the wrong people in charge.
“Good leaders make decisions quickly and change them slowly”

When you’re playing Daisy, Lamb and Murphy off Hb, with kpd missing through form and injury and you wonder why the team got smashed each week...?
From 1/2 time game 1 the team was under seige and played accordingly for the year.

Ladies Lounge / Re: Hannah Mouncey
Maybe. I guess the point I was trying to make is that you can't object to her because she's too big. I would assume that her unfair advantage arises from some remnant, leftover vestiges of masculinity, e.g muscle mass, size etc., that hormone therapy, gender reassignment etc. can't completely remove, and this is the real issue.

What about 2 females, one a bodybuilder, the other a basket baller - both born female, one significantly taller, the other significantly stronger than most female players - should they be refused permission to play AFL/VFLW ?

I think the resident homophobes will say yes PaulP, because that’s really their issue, the rest is window dressing.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: 2018 Rd 23: Post Game Passion: Carlton vs Adelaide
Melbourne win 10 games in Roos 3rd year of his rebuild. After last year that's where I thought we would be at given that while we won 6 games we led 7 times in last qtrs and lost. I'd been happy with 6 given our injuries but more importantly, see things like a better structure and game plan. Like to have seen much quicker and better movement of the ball to set up our two very good young key forwards. If I saw that then I believe we were on the right path. Saw something that wasn't even close, outside of round 1, which was exciting.

In 1903 Melbourne won the first 3 games of the year, then lost two before winning 9 of their last 13 on their way to winning the 1956 premiership, so that’s how we SHOULD be progressing too !
I don’t care how many injuries we have, I WANT TO WIN/LOSS OF 50.7%  MINIMUM !!!
Anything else is unacceptable !!!

Jim, where you or I “thought” we’d be or how many W/L we’d have is irrelevant, sadly.
