Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Who was better in 2011?
Chris Judd was on fire until he twisted his ankle against Geelong that year... I felt he was never the same after that.

I remember seeing him in the stands, he looked like a wounded animal.

Still did some amazing things and one of his best ever goals a quarter or so after that incident.

@ DJC

One of the British Anti-terrorist squads are reported to be now working with the WY Police on this case. It will be very interesting to see if the killer was working alone or was part of a larger plot/conspiracy. His actual motive is not yet clear but from my readings elsewhere the backdrop appears to be a high level of social deprivation in parts of the north of England and an antipathy to the EU, which the recent campaigning for the referendum may have inflamed - which is in  turn a big worry in itself. Jo Cox was apparently a very active campaigner for the Remain group.

I'm sure there wil be many wanting to declare britain first a terrorist organisation..
 the implications of which are a little worrying considering a lot of these guys seem like fringedwelling troublemakers

A similar situation has emerged in Britain today with the murder of an MP by a mentally ill man. The conspiracy theorists are in full flight linking it to Brexiteers and anti immigration groups.

Not enough has come out about the English thing to classify it as a terrorist act.

Seems at this stage it was a disenfranchised loose cannon who had access to a gun.

I reckon if you pledge your allegiance to the leader of ISIS you qualify as a terrorist...

Bang on.

He also scoped out other places to attack but settled on that one.

Plus what he did is in line with extremist preaching.

What it has also done is show up homophobia from other groups, The difference being is that they are less likely to go and kill a whole bunch of people.

Didn't think we could top the Port win, but there ya go!!!

It was the Port win all over again x 2.

How were the games from the unsung players who can be regular whipping boys: players such as Armfield, White, Rowe, Everitt.....colossal games from each & every one of them. Simon White's 2nd half, particularly that last quarter, was as good a quarter as I've seen from any Carlton defender for a very, very long time.

The tackles, the smothers, the chasing, the pressure......unbelievably relentless. How was Kreuzer's 50m chase in the 2nd quarter.....I almost reckon that was the turning point.

Casboult's mere presence had the Cats tall defenders literally krapping themselves......concerned that they could possibly die at any given moment, Levi was crashing packs that hard.

Curnow's job on Selwood......attacking tagging at it's best right there. Bryce Gibbs......wow.

Absolutely bursting with pride right now......upset of the season so far they're calling it.....and I can comfortably live with that.

There's a happy Brettie.... been a while I reckon.

I think Bolton's measured replies post-match say it all. It was a great "effort" game, and that gives you some pride to take away from the game, but in the cold hard light of day there is still much to improve.

Finals football is Everest Base Camp, we are actually looking like we want to get there, but we have only just started the walk through the foot hills and we are roughing out the map and plan. This time next season, provided the AFL don't b0rk up the rules again, we will have a clearly definitive plan of attack and be on the rise.
He really did seem like he had bigger fish to fry.

He was almost dismissive of the win.
