And Albo scores an own goal by going to the cricket today whilst Morrison is meeting with bushfire victims.
Seriously all of these so called leaders are idiots

Take out Labuschagne and it’s been a pretty dismal innings against this pop gun attack

24th century and level with Greg Chappell

Old Downhill Dave, never in doubt.

You mean the bloke who will go down in history as one of our all time best openers?

Who gave up more of a fight?

Pakistan or New Zealand
Kiwis bowling was a touch better mainly thanks to Wagner sticking to a plan but I thought the Pakistani’s on the whole looked a bit better with the bat. They passed 300 twice from two tests whereas NZ could play another 6 tests and not make 300 in an innings. Staggering to think Latham and Nicholls were rated top 10 coming into this series they both looked like park cricketers

I wish either of those sides were touring here this summer, we would embarrass them both.
Both are very mediocre sides

******* priceless.

5/170

Aussies in box seat at minute
Home and hosed.

Won’t make 300 now.
I’m not sure we are home and hosed.
Only 4 recognised bats and one of those is a bloke who has never played in India before. Think our batting looks a bit light on. Warner and Finch will need to put on a good opening partnership

Largest ever partnership against India in ODI’s and the first time we have beaten them by 10 wickets in India.
Warner’s 5th century of the summer and he has 1193 runs @170.43 across all formats this summer

Definitely not big enough for 2 major airports but where the airport is now is perfect for freight.

Essendon have named the Leadership Group for 2020. Dyson Heppell was unanimously endorsed back in December to continue as Captain. He will be supported by Dylan Shiel, Devon Smith, Michael Hurley and David Zaharakis.

Yet reigning B&F Zach Merrett sacked from the leadership group?

No Daniher?
You can understand Daniher & Fantasia being dropped after they both tried leaving in the off season.
There’s got to be more to it with Merrett though...
My understanding is that Merrett is taking a step back to concentrate on his football. He is pretty harsh on himself and thought he had a real poor year. Daniher and Fantasia definitely couldn’t stay on

Authorities worst nightmare has occurred with Coronavirus making it to a cruise ship with 3,700 on board, they are all now isolated in their rooms for 14 days.

Oh man, that would be brutal. Imagine 14 days in one of the internal cabins with no views.

Yuck.
And no natural air!
Breathing in the germs and other nasties from the aircon 24/7 sounds like fun

Dave Warner named the AB Medalist. I'm aware of his numbers this summer and in the World Cup but I just can't help but think Pat Cummins has been robbed .

would be an understatement

Warner flat tracks against garbage attacks and he is our best cricketer, **** off.
Across all 3 formats he was.
People forget how good his WC was

The fact all three formats carry the same weighting system shows how flawed it is.

How many players are there that participate in all three formats, and rarely miss a game? Just by opportunity alone Warner is already well ahead of the rest.
They are weighted different.
Tests attract twice the amount of votes as ODI’s and 3 times the amount as T20’s.
For example a 3-2-1 vote becomes
18-12-6 for tests
9-6-3 for ODI’s
6-4-2 for T20’s
Ah thanks! Thought they were all the same, that makes a little more sense.. but still.. those who play all 3..
For the qualification period

Cummins
T20: 7
ODI’s: 16
Tests: 12
TOTAL: 35 games

Warner
T20: 11
ODI’s: 10
Tests: 10
TOTAL: 31 games

Not sure what that means but my point is how do you adjust points given for votes in games due to the opposition and venue you are playing at...
Allan Border is entitled to comment on an award named in his honour. I believe his point is more weighting should be applied to test match cricket than T20. Nothing to do with quality of opponents or venue..... and while we are at it why not eliminate the journos votes!

Fair call, i probably quoted the wrong comment but it is more directed to the commentary that his performance in England meant he should not get the award.
I thought his performances in England, or lack of them should have had him out of the team...... we could have blooded a younger bloke and got the same output, and then let that new bloke ton up on home decks against pop gun attacks. It's a game of opportunity, some get them some don't!
Like all those other blokes that peeled off runs against the pop gun attacks?
Burns, Smith, Wade, Head etc all batted the same amount of times as Warner this summer against this pop gun attacks that you speak of and didn’t get anywhere near the same amount of runs.
Warner had a shocking tour of England but who hasn’t had a bad series every now and then?

Anyone see the game?

Hawthorn had 10 out playing cricket finals.

And a wedding that 16 blokes attended

It shits me when I'm talking to someone, and they mention they played AFL in the past.

So I'll ask them "which club?"

They replay with something like "Beaufort".

Last time I checked, Beaufort never had an AFL side.
Similarly I was driving around last week and I saw a sign saying “Come and try NRL” I thought Adelaide must have started a new side or something :)

Today’s Fury v Wilder fight.
Fury absolutely destroyed him, was great viewing

Very happy to get straight on to Ticketek yesterday as soon as tickets went on sale. Snared 16 ANZAC Day tickets in around 5 minutes tops. Went back online a few hours later to grab some other tickets for away games and the site was pretty much frozen for the best part of 2 hours

Fair effort from Webster for Tasmania.
Came in at number 7 with Tassie 5/139 chasing WA’s 371. He was the last man out for a run a ball 187 and Tasmania made 390

The game with good players relies less on defensive structures to accomodate average players.
Get rid of irrelevant franchises like Fremantle, Nth Melb, St Kilda, GWS, Port Ade, GC and the talent pool wouldn’t be spread as wide, meaning less coached structures and more skills.

That makes very little sense

It’s a dumb post, regardless of the fact North were named.
Calling teams irrelevant is simply narrow minded. I wouldn’t use the term irrelevant but there is definitely 4-6 teams too many in the comp but because of the TV rights nothing will change and it may even expand more. The talent is already stretched far too thin across the comp

With Tasmania defeating NSW the spoon is staying in SA.
Perhaps the SACA can can erect a huge statue of a wooden spoon at the AO gates in recognition of this momentous occasion

The players hate the manager, pure & simple.
He shows them little respect & never praises them. They’re over him & something has to give.
This is a first hand account. It’s quite obvious but I blame the players here. Bunch of soft cocks had no problem with him when they were flying earlier in the season.

And now DOH airport closing so no Qatar Airlines flights for awhile
Got a link mate?
I can only find where theyve banned incoming people from certain countries.

$500 to Newstart recipients. Pokie barons in lower socioeconomic areas, KFC, Macca's and the local dealer man are rubbing their hands together.*

*Offered as comedic value, not a reflection of all Newstart recipients.
And will give the Liberals an excuse to push through their drug testing of Newstart recipients trial. As it should. Why should people who test positive to any drugs receive any payment from the government
If you adopt that stance, and fair enough if you do, then testing must encompass everyone in the public service, including administration and the parliament, plus government contractors and consultants, because they all receive payments from the government.

Unsurprisingly, the trial only focuses on the more vulnerable who receive government assistance. Seems pointless if it does not target those who are in positions of power and influence whom the community would not want them off their tits high on goofballs. I agree in the point that all government workers should be tested.
We have had mandatory testing for years and it works fine, I can’t believe more businesses don’t do it.

About time this thing had its own thread.

Pandemic, or Pandemonium?

Post your stuff here!

Combination of the two.

Literally pressing the suicide button on our childrens futures because of this.

Sadly whether we like it or not we live in an over populated world which will always have some form of risk of death whether thats mother nature, viruses, self caused wars.

The other issue is the precedent this sets, what guarentees do we have that we wont have a similar virus in to years time, three years time. Are we going to shut world down each time. I think the fact that the world didn’t shut down for SARS, MERS, Ebola, Bird Flu, Swine Flu etc shows just how serious the experts are treating this. I’m not buying into the media sensationalism but many in the medical profession are concerned. I hope they are wrong and just being overly cautious

Been a great recruit Goodrem. When he first arrived it was a pretty tough team to break into and word around the traps was likely he wouldn’t be around for long. Even though it’s not my club, always gotta admire recruits that buy in and stick around a long time.
And now his mum works for the club too! On the books of course ;)

The Bedge wrote:AdFL will be the benchmark.. what ever they do, every other league will likely follow suit.

Seeing as though other leagues get more than 2 cats and a dog to rock up and watch I’d hope they are acting on the governments advice

Be serious, everyone is sitting back waiting for someone to be the first to make a move and action around this.. AdFL are the largest Community football organisation in this state - they pull the pin, I’ll guarantee everyone else will too.

Would think though AdFL would get their direction from Community Football Board and/or SANFL/AFL - along with everyone else.

Actually, given BLG do get more than a couple cats and dogs to their games, and the nation wide ban on gatherings is in place, how do you think that’ll impact your wonderful comp? ;) As I said the BL&G should be acting on government advice not some clowns advice from the AdFL. As it stands the government has advised against crowds of 500 or more so the BL&G and most other country leagues would have to suspend the season. AdFL can play on ;)

Tell me Jim, who's the clown from the AdFL?

and do you really think that this clown makes up his or her own advice, as opposed to acting on Government or AFL protocols.

and finally, there are waaaay more than 2 dogs that go to games but are you're off your rocker if you think that cats actually go to football matches ;) :lol: I meant clowns as in plural.
You would be very surprised at the contempt most people in the country have for your precious league.
The country leagues should be basing their decisions solely on what the government says
