DISQUS

mollyfud He is very defensive on any issue that effects him

mollyfud They have had that luck but I think there a good side. I thought the same
thing happened early last year for my Hawks. I still think that the Cats
will have a win but it has added to the interest in the game!

mollyfud The Bucanan was consistent again. His was high (or medium) impact and
reckless (or intentional) when the other incidents where only negligent. He
had 10% loading and a virtual 1 game suspended (from memory). I think the
Pratt case doesn't show a problem with the system but actually is a perfect
example of how the system is working! The Match Review Panel (MRP) should be
making there decisions on the video and evidence they have. They got it
right on the evidence they had. Pratt and North choose to challenge and the
evidence they put forward obviously showed that there was nothing in it.
This is how the system should work!
Just my 2 cents.

mollyfud Hmmm... I have no problem with this one. Hall should have got more. The
system is consistent and it is consistent again! When we had the old system,
people wanted consistency! This system is consistent. It takes into account
record and the likes and you know what your walking into. Both were stupid
and dangerous. The funny thing is that Hall is on sideline as well.

mollyfud Eye gouging is serious and he has a 10% loading and half game hangover. If
he was a clean skin he would have got one! Fair enough for the diver in my
opinion!

mollyfud It's a new world. They have to stay under the cap and as good as Judd is and
as Fev can be, they need the supporting cast and if Fev takes too much, he
won't have one!

mollyfud Yep, 30% loading is going to kill him. Wait for the "This wasn't as bad as
Hall's punch" talk from fans that don't understand the system!

mollyfud You only need to go to the games and hear the body on body contact from
ground level. The dirty hits are leaving and if you miss them, go watch UFC
or something.

mollyfud I think the game is plenty tough enough! Just look at the injury lists for the clubs!

mollyfud Exactly and great to hear Leigh Matthews say the same thing even though
there problem may have cost them at least 2 points (probably not).

mollyfud I think in many ways Sydney is the logical team. I don't think Melbourne
would be a good place as they need to get rid of there older players and
start playing kids. St Kilda are sort of the same but I see them as a side
that will go after him as they think there still a chance, but he would only
be replacing Harvey as you couldn't see him going on next year.
Collingwood seem to have enough kids that they could handle him as far as
the age of there list. I wouldn't like to see the Hawks get him but I would
consider him for our VFL side, Box Hill as he would help the kids we have
there especially the supply to our young forwards.

mollyfud I think Carlton is a perfect example and I will further explore it!

mollyfud I can't agree that Jeff is an idiot. To think this is to under estimate him.

We should beat the Eagles and should beat them easily. The issue is that we
have to do it!
Mick. He is a complicated one as well. It's a valid subject but is being
lost in his complaint of the week segment. I guess (like Jeff) it will bring
the subject to the fore.

mollyfud Thanks for the nice words. The reason for the article did come off of having
many discussions about Tanking in different forums (a lot on bigfooty and
other blogs like yours) and repeating myself over and over as I think a lot
look at the perception without thinking through the whole issue and what you
will give up when you follow some of the schemas to there final conclusion.
I hope that becomes apparent as the series evolves. On Carlton, they had
most to gain from a TGT tank (even more so with Judd becoming available) but
it is impossible to prove (unless someone inside the club puts there head on
the line). I think TGT happens least often, is not what most people talk
about when they talk about tanking (they most mean LMT) and is the one sort
that something can be done about. Stay tuned as I think the next installment
is things to consider about when trying to get rid of tanking and then look
at the Options for stopping tanking (you probably already no my thoughts on
this but some might be surprised on my suggestion!)

mollyfud Thanks for the comments on the design. There is meant to be a video above
the recent box. Do you have any issues with YouTube videos?
Molly

mollyfud The difference being that he stepped aside and didn't try to hang in there
for his own ego.
Molly

mollyfud Thanks for the reply! It should be an interesting point to debate!

mollyfud Hey K2K,
Waters wasn't going the ball. He was closer to the ball but wasn't going the
ball. Agree that Goodes should have been Reckless but its not as bad a
classification as everyone is making out. It was either at the high side of
Negligent or on the low side of reckless.

On Buddy, he may have had other problems and I would love a link to the
thing you are referring too in the WA paper but I can only think of those 3.
If you listened to the media he is getting in blues every week! I just hate
how they have two girls that say one thing (but not everything about the
incident) and have at least 10 people that have said it didn't happen as
they said it did but yet they still slander Buddy with the accusation!

Near the end of Carey's playing career I came to the realization (although
he later was shown to have a fair amount of personal problems) a lot of the
arrogance that people claimed that he had was projected on him from the
media and not necessarily anything he did. I think if you are going to
compare Carey and Buddy, compare them on that. Yes Buddy might celebrate a
goal, but the guy is as humble as they come, always has time for the kids,
works hard at training and in the games and is a team player! I just think
its easier to label people then it is to fully analyses them!
