I think where they are sitting they are really struggling to see the bears try line, they struggled on that side of the field in the first half too up close to the line.
The whole way we get policed in the ruck seems like whoever was coaching defense was not on the same page as the top teams. We get away with less and thus the players become hesitant, even for a moment which at an elite level is enough for the opposition to eek out an advantage. Need to fix...
Not under the influence of said drugs. That's the detail people don't seem to understand the difference this makes. Under the influence = affected capability to drive. In this instance, it's like not blowing a blood alcahol level, but finding trace elements in your blood you've been drinking -...
It takes a legal matter with a maximum of 5 years or more in jail for them to even stand players down. People just totally lost reality here. Not to mention the racist shit going on too.
He'll be one of those players that leaves and goes up a gear.
The off field shit that started a few months back is a serious worry though.
On field they were calling him a million dollar player mid-season when he did a good job covering for Reece..... very up and down.
It's also frankly really expensive to jail people. So there's a counter force at work also - by imposing mandatory minimums, you swell the jail population which costs the government money - at a rough cost of $422 per prisoner per day.
Further, there are also cases where people have mitigating...
Would you though? How would your boss know?
Take away the fact this was a local celebrity - this would have been a small headline in the paper. The court appearance you would have just taken the day off work and no conviction recorded...
So again, how? Not to mention you'd likely have a case...
All these people saying he would be jailed etc. This is reality. Been saying it since the start. It's bad, but not Matt Lodge bad. He got a slap on the wrist. NRL will rub him out for 6 weeks and life will go on.
Milf was sent to spend a lot of time with AFL people back in the day to develop his kicking when BHunt left. They made use of the Lions facilities and some of the Lions coaches helped out early on with technique etc.
We've also had sessions with the Reds etc.
Would be good to lean into this...
Frankly, if one player is the difference between finals and no finals - you're whole team is cooked.
I don't think many here would lay our crap season in '24 at the hands of a single player or position. It took lots of people to suck that hard.
