Furthermore, his belief in conca is his fault.
Sign him for three on 300k.
Keep the ball rolling along as though he will come good.
Pfffft.

Why can't anyone see the crucial markings of a loser?

Mate, if u turn up to play-it's on.

Who stops a match because they're hurting?

It's indicative of the entire culture he has implemented.

spot on. It may be a bit of a stretch but  It makes one wonder if it was not a ploy to deflect from how poor their final hit out was.
Any thing to find an excuse. ;)

Agree whole heartedly.

As paid up members of this club (well most of us are anyway) we need to take action.......NOW.

Why couldn't we call the elimination final off when we were in front during the final quarter ??

We would be premiers by now.  :snidegrin

We lost four solders on Thursday night which in a glorified practice match is four too many.

Nothing is more important than smashing the Blues in round 1.

No but it concerned me we tried to finish the game early.
I can't recall a club ever trying to call off a game due to injuryZ
At best naive at worst it's a cop out by the club.

It was a practice game. Wouldn't have mattered if it was cut slightly short.

Is there an AFL rule that says you must have 18 on the ground? I know you can't have more than 18, but is there one that says you can't have less than 18?

So it's okay for a club to randomly cut a game short?
This afternoon game - Bucks can finish up at qtr time because the Pies only need 30 minutes of playing time?
Yep, makes perfect sense
