I actually hope you're right.
The alternative is a bit concerning

Arrhythmias are not uncommon is low body fat athletes.

I can't recall the cause, but it's something to do with a lack of energy reserves that can cause a particular deficit in a required chemical during heavy exercise. If that is the cause it's not something the health of fitness staff can do anything about in advance, but it can be managed once it's known about.

That is exactly what happens in the NFL Cookie! Thats where Free Agency comes from, say no more.....

There is a bit of a difference though, the NFL isn't actively pushing expansion teams, and the NFL administration border on paranoid about making the draft and trade equitable. The AFL tends to be quite the opposite, it does seem to play favourites!

Teams in the NFL don't blink at suing each other!

We have no idea..so we shouldn't judge.
It might have been totally un-football related.
That he was caught on camera is unfortunate...but we cant possibly judge him without knowing the context.
I've been pretty miserable this afternoon but still managed a couple of laughs at different times.

I know, but it wouldn't save him under those regimes.

It's not about guilt or innocence.

Even worse for us is when you realise Foxtel had a choice to make before they broadcast that, a Barry Hall moment!

Just in defence of Harry McKay folks

As sad as I was I remember having a few laughs with friends and family at my Mum's funeral.
Don't take a ten second grab in a three hour telecast to mean anything at all.

Can you imagine one of the reserves laughing about that result within the vision of Leigh Matthews, Malthouse, the Scott's, Pagan, Roos or Parkin?

I realise times have changed, but seriously, what was the joke, an uncomfortable laugh, a Barrett moment!

We signed Murphy for a further 2 years. Let that sink in people...  >:D

If that is all you saw from today's game best close your eyes!

You need to ask why when our captain got put down by the Lions, that is the Carlton captain got put down whoever he was, it was Hodge that picked him up! Love someone or hate them, there are lines you should never cross, and our Carlton players, our captain's team-mates, just keep crossing this line!

A lot of them are marking time, our club is just a stopover on the way somewhere else, anywhere else! Any player who is playing for the club and jumper should not accept those events!

SOS, Weitering and SPS,have no idea of what role they are supposed to perform. I want to know why those 3, who started off so well, are struggling. They've all shown they have talent. As I said to someone else, if the players we drafted the last few years wore red and white I bet they'd all be going very well as most of them have talent. You can only draft good players, up to the coaching staff to develop them. Right now our coaches could turn Dusty into a dud.

SoJ is no Dusty, we haven't derailed his career, he's just not up to it and he's not shown the same ability as others on our list. Not even close!

Chances are good there will be a spill and SoJ will eventually get the chop with his old man resigning in disgust, which will be a pity, dead-set pity, but it's a situation of our own making! The clubs pumped up the lads tyres to leverage his surname, but he's just not that sort of player, I'm afraid if he's regularly getting a game the club is in trouble. I love SoJ's heart, his desire, his footy brain, the fact he bleeds navy blue, but the name doesn't make up for the deficits and opposition teams will keep taking full advantage of his short-comings! I think his best chance was to eventually displace someone like Kennedy, Lang or Ed in the midfield, but he won't learn those tricks playing in the back-pocket! If we chop him, will he try to extend his career elsewhere?

About the others you have a very valid point.

I suspect time might be up for Phillips, too fragile, and we don't have the list to carry him as a backup to an already damaged ruckmen!

Lobbe might be a good buy if he can get himself sorted, until De Koning and McKay get themselves sorted as ruck options.

Re Charlie. That's what happens when you pick just one key forward, who's a kid.

We had more inside F50 than the Lions, but they ran the ball unhindered coast to coast!

Fans will be up in arms about our defence, but that is an effect of the problems not the cause! The tell will be this week, if the club officials take an axe to the defence you know the scapegoats have been named! This problem cannot be fixed by changing the defenders!

Foxtel replays of McKay laughing in the stand, I'd just about sack him tomorrow and send a message!
