More like a princess jab.

There were some "from behind" jokes swirling around in my head, but I thought I'd be a grown up for a change.

Which direction it came from is irrelevant.

"King-Hit
punch (someone) suddenly and hard."

Anyway, we should all refer to them as coward punches anyway.

I'm with Mic though, it has always confused me that something in a game is treated differently to something not in a game.
Next person I want to hit I'll start a Monopoly game with first.

Without referring to a dictionary, I always thought it was more a fact of "didnt see it coming"

Although I agree with you, the "professional" element would be the grey area here, I wonder what would happen if Brayshaw took him to court?

Players have taken the AFL to court over injuries sustained through negligence.

Having "Boxing" as a professional sport makes it tricky too.

I always thought that the "king hit" was from the side or from behind while the victim is looking the other way

No. The thimble has been retired.

You can claim the Penguin, but I reckon @Footy Chick will fight you for it.

I would have no problem if clear cut cases such as the Gaff incident were treated as assaults rather than just a sporting striking charge.

I think it is time this sort of behaviour was treated seriously by the law and not excused as being in some way part of "Sport". Gaff for example should be charged with something like "aggravated assault causing grievious bodily harm" - I'm not sure what the legal wording is but that sums up what happened.

Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts are the only alleged "sports" where getting bashed and injured is a reasonable expectation and I'm not sure either of them qualfy as sport. (Boxing may qualify if heavily padded gloves are worn so that what counts is the skill demonstrated in making contact rather than the damage caused... )

The appeal of Gold Class cinemas. Went for the first time at Marion on Saturday night.

I could've found plenty of better ways to spend what would've totaled $170 (granted, we were using a $100 gift voucher) for (a) a seat in the theatre, (b) 2 glasses of wine; (c) a small serve of nachos; (d) a lukewarm pizza; and (e) a bottle of fizzy water. The nachos and pizza clocked in at $24 bucks each. The seats was about $42 a pop, plus the obligatory booking fee.

For some ridiculous reason the cinema's air con was set somewhere between 'freezing' and 'wintertime in Greenland.'

Glad I've finally experienced it, but I don't know what the fuss is all about.

I prefer the West Lakes Gold Class set up and its only $20 a ticket. And the dip platters are sensational.
And you get the big screen unlike Marion.
