Yeah great article. Big fan of Connolly. He's also sticking it up his fellow The Age columnist in Caro WIlso in that article too.

This whole sympathy for Jurrah thing is sickening me itbt.

I understand circle sentencing, and I know I probs don't fully understand the dynamics of remote indigenous communities, but Jurrah has been accused of taking a machete to someone's head, and he allegedly had an axe there also.

People say how tough it must be for Jurrah to come down and play football in Melbourne, and undoubtedly it would be, but this happened in the NT and had nothing to do with moving. Taking a large knife to some ****s head, unless done in self defence, is not acceptable in any environment or community.

I am willing to give him the assumption of innocence until proven guilty (no matter how likely it is that he committed the crime) but I will not paint him as a saint like everyone seems to be doing. Imagine if this was Wayne Carey or Fev?

Jurrah is a great story, but if he is guilty of this crime, he's nothing but a violent criminal afaic.

 

[Spikey]

i mean i haven't being paying too much attention to this because frankly it's way over my head and i don't want to get in a fight about it, but isn't the whole problem that 'taking a large knife to some ****s head' is acceptable in this community

Yeah. Was thinking it was going to be in the studio or something. No insight whatsoever.

Didn't mind the show though.

I think most will agree with this.

Mr Connolly must be a Roos fan, surely?

Either that or he has the hots for Brayshaw.

Seems to have taken the media's sniping at NM way too much to heart for it not to be personal.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Nah, he's Essendon I think.

 

[Spikey]

yeah he is

The man just knows quality when he sees it.

More than any other season I can remember, the results throughout this NAB Cup need to be taken with a grain of salt.

Take it to the Paul Roos higher level of intellectual analysis and your comment is wrong. If you mean from the overly simplistic Mike Sheehan 'face value' persepctive then I agree.

Judged on the stage each club is at in their development there is plenty to be taken from the pre-season.

Spot on, it's the 'progressive head-in-the-sand overcompensation problem'

Richmond play a pretty much full strength team. Geelong plays the opposite. Cool insight.

NAB cup is process oriented for proper teams, nothing more nothing less.
