Wow, what an incredible sweeping generalisation! Suddenly you've obliterated those in the psychological caring professions. The psych professions are no different to any other... you get the spectrum of folks, though continued better training is weeding out the 'scary' ones as you put it. But the one thing that does unite most in the psych professions is a sincere and unrelenting desire to help others, often at their own expense... and rarely for monetary gain.
Yes, I know a couple of psychologists and you’d struggle to find more caring, helpful folk.
Should this be part of the fired wired hotwired thread ?
At any rate, no one will be shocked by those announcements.
I think this deserves it’s own thread but, you’re right, no-one will be shocked by those delistings. I don’t have a problem with giving those blokes a shot - and it would have been unthinkable in O’Shea’s case after his form in the NBs - but they’re not the future.
JGM will probably get picked up by another club now and will forge a career as a key forward
It's very hard to argue against the extended goal-square, starting positions and other rules when you have a classy FF kick nine goals mostly one out in the trial game!
Here endeth the flood!
I'm not sure that the goal rectangle and starting positions made that much difference. All of Darcy's goals came from general play and several when she had multiple opponents. However, if there is a causal link between the proposed new rules and full forwards kicking bags, bring it on!
I just watched the highlights - actually, it was Darcy’s highlights - and I think Ms Vescio’s efforts deserve a thread of their own.
OK, it was VFLW and not AFLW but nine goals is an amazing effort, particularly when you consider how she got them; crumbing, evading opponents, pack marks, leading, etc.
I reckon her nine goal haul is the equivalent of a 20 goal tally in the VFL.
A week is a long time in politics, just as it is in football. We'll be back to the polling booth before the end of the year so the fallout will be immense
Dennis Napthine was asked for his take on events and he made one of his best ever comments:
“It’s a brave politician who irons five shirts on Sunday night.”
It a simple VFL form vs AFL form and the fact there is a big gap between. He is not the only one. Graham fits that bill.
That's true - but O'Shea has played 92 AFL games in six seasons to Graham's 47 in five seasons. Of course, Port didn't delist O'Shea because he was a great player but they probably didn't try him as midfielder either.
I don't care if he gets 40 touches as a mid this week. He should not be on our list next year.
His disposal and decision making is not up to AFL standard.
You could be right. However, I recently heard some words of wisdom from Mick Malthouse (yes, while I thought Mick was a terrible choice as our coach, I readily acknowledge that he knows a hell of a lot about footy). He was talking about his time at Collingwood and how he would never leave out of form players in the reserves for too long as to do so would reduce their effectiveness at AFL level; two to three weeks was more than enough and then it was a matter of regaining form in the firsts.
O'Shea spent a whole season in the VFL and it could be that his poor disposal and decision making is a product of that. After all, very few spuds get to play close to 100 AFL games.
I'm not too fussed one way or the other and I certainly don't think he will be part of our future. I would be happy to see him go around again if he looks capable of providing Cripps with some support.
Actually, it's probably a tactical success by Turnbull and the moderates, they have cooked the right, the News Ltd and conservatives and the likes of Alan Jones and Ray Hadley must be fuming!
Abbott must be besides himself, Dutton is dead to the leadership!
This was more about a philosophy than a person!
Yes, Trumble certainly went down swinging and more than a few haymakers connected. It's a pity that he didn't show that fight when the religious right rump and News Ltd bullied him into backing down on some of his better policies.
O’Shea was used as a midfielder last game and got a very favourable review from Fraser. He is named in the centre in this week’s squad and it will be interesting to see how he goes. A last minute change of role could save his career ... and JGM could be another on in that position.
There is no way that Bont should have got a free kick. The umpire guessed and gave Jong a 50. That killed the slim chance that we had.
Bontompelli should be fined for staging and for the contact to Lamb’s face that initiated the incident. It won’t happen though and, even if it did, the score will stand
