My two weeks prior to this one were absolutely horrendous, then this week so far I've got the Friday night margin bang on and am 3/3 so far... but then I picked CollingwoodThis season is a tipsters nightmare!
Solid reverse psychology there...My two weeks prior to this one were absolutely horrendous, then this week so far I've got the Friday night margin bang on and am 3/3 so far... but then I picked Collingwood
Yeah, very poor by Robinson. The tweet showed a lack of knowledge, research and compassion. But as the saying goes two wrongs don't make a right and some have gone over the top with their contribution to the backlash......and as a rather unfortunate follow-up, Hawthorn recorded THEIR lowest ever half time score last night!! Crikey, it was painful viewing. I did however last until the final siren (admittedly in front of my TV!) - I reckon you need to take the good with the bad in sport.
What do you all think about Mark "Robbo" Robinson's unfortunate tweet regarding Alex Fasolo yesterday? As distasteful and thoughtless as the tweet was (and then the word "insensitive" was misspelt in his apology!), I think that the bullying of him by fans and media rivals has been over the top in the aftermath.
I don't mind that idea, but I'd maybe save it for the very serious cases like the Houli and Bugg ones. Often a two-week suspension might not take a player out of a match, so I reckon maybe you could just apply it to cases which have gone to the tribunal and received a 3+ match suspension.Well, by now we would all be aware of the nasty incident last night between Melbourne's Tomas Bugg and Sydney's Callum Mills.
@ Scotty_WCE is right on it!

The incident led to predictable discussions in the media about introducing a "send off" rule - something which I don't agree with, actually. What I would like to see though - for any suspension of two weeks or more - is that a week of that suspension must be served against the team you were reported against. In Tomas Bugg's case, Melbourne won't play Sydney again until the finals (possibly), or most probably next season. Sydney had to play with one less player for all bar 4:30 minutes last night, yet the penalty for Bugg's actions will in no way benefit or compensate them.
Are these just the thoughts of an imbecile, or am I on to something?!
Hard not to respect the guy. Always thought his left-foot checkside goal from the boundary in the 2015 GF was hugely underrated, even if I wasn't in a great position to enjoy it! Will retire with a pretty darn impressive list of accomplishments.Today one of the greatest leaders of all time announced he will retire at seasons end. We salute you Luke Hodge.
..and this, ladies and gentlemen, is why football matters.Fairly shattered that the time has come for Pridda to retire. He has given his absolute all for the Eagles for the last 12 years. So sad he won't get a premiership to show for it. The night he won the Brownlow in 2014 was one of the best of my life. Not a bad result for someone overlooked in three drafts and then selected with pick 31 in a rookie draft - he had to work so hard to get a chance, but he sure made the most of it. And an absolute legend of a guy to top it off. Thanks Pridda
