Youd think that the amount of times ive argued the "the too easily pushed of the ball brigade" and tried to point out each type of player has benefits and downfalls, that would have been obvious.

Obviously not, and im hardly a prune.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

Al, you just can't admit it when you are wrong, bad trait.

Deliberately making things up and taking things out of context just to bait other posters should bring about a warning from the mods. Id be keeping an eye on your pms for this, WAT.

Al, go read your post again mate, you said it pal, don't be a weak.......and try to get me banned for telling the truth!
..and i havn't argued on many occasions that smaller player who can use agility and pace to get around their opponents have a place in the game despite the fact that on occasions they will get out muscled?

I think i may have have even posed the question how many times must a lighter built player sidestep an opponent to make up for being pushed aside in a contest once?

I know i asked you if you dont find it frustrating when players like betts run around our more solid players, just before i asked if you would swap betts for jackson

any one would know that i was being sarcastic/taking the pee out those that continually moan about players being pushed too easily off the ball when i made the comment you are bringing up.

So you either didn't get the sarcasm or are deliberately making things up/taking out of context just to bait?

Which is it?

Snip  :banghead :banghead

You all know the rules but seem unwilling to follow them  :banghead :banghead

Debate the issue without the insults - baiting equals a strike

Also remember that any poster telling us directly on the forum who should be given strikes will be issued with strikes as well:

Refer

Also be aware that posting directly on the forum to demand another poster be 'striked' or suspended on the forum will also not be tolerated and posters who try to employ this will face a strike themselves. The 'report to moderator' function or a PM/email to the mods is there and there alone for reporting things to us.

Gerks just spread the word around the internets that they are Collingwood supporters and close friends of Joffa and someone will surely do it for free.  ;D

Cricket final squeezes MCG staff
By Jennifer Phelan and Ashley Browne
afl.com.au
Tuesday, March 5, 2013



TEAMS that play at the MCG in round one could possibly be running out on grass shorter than the ideal length for football should Victoria host the Sheffield Shield final the week before.

Arena staff are facing a window of as little as 48 hours to transform the MCG from a cricket ground to a football oval if the Bushrangers – as expected – host the final beginning on March 22.

The Bushrangers are currently on top with two matches remaining – one against the sixth-placed New South Wales, starting on March 7, and the other against the fifth-placed Tasmania on March 14.

There is a strong possibility the final will run to five days, given the home side only needs a draw to win the Shield, meaning it will end on March 26.

The MCG's first football match of the year is two days later on the night of March 28 between Carlton and Richmond.

The grass will continue to be cut until the end of the final and it is expected to take between seven and 10 days for it to return to optimal AFL length, given normal weather patterns.

However, the AFL is unconcerned about the possibility of this occurring.

"Our view is that the MCG is a world class stadium and they'll be able to turn it into a football stadium in time for round one," AFL spokesperson Patrick Keane said.

The AFLPA has been concerned since October about the prospect of a two-day break between the shield final and the season opener.

While it has been assured the ground will be ready, it believes the only long-term solution is Cricket Victoria having access to a first-class cricket venue at the Junction Oval.

The short turnaround between cricket and football seasons at the MCG has been a concern for several years and will continue to remain an issue until a second showpiece cricket ground is established in Melbourne.

There are plans for a redevelopment that would transform the Junction Oval into a 7000-seat boutique cricket stadium capable of hosting first-class matches, but the Victorian government has yet to provide its share of the funding.

It is believed the AFL will also be asked to make a contribution in exchange for gaining access to the MCG up to one month earlier each season.

Classic AFL

Reality: it will take 7-10 days for the grass to grow

AFL: our view from the ivory tower is that 2 days will be fine

I think it's so they can fit in a game of roller hockey in between.
