So the AFL have confirmed that they will not be consistent with the head high rule and protect the head at all cost.
We could go on about this but there are too many incidents that happen that are not even taken to the tribunal.
Back in the day if a bloke had his head over the ball, it was almost impossible to tackle him from front-on without giving away a free kick, so you made sure that you went to the side for a tackle. Now you can come in front-on and jump all over the bloke on the ball and nothing happens … and then your teammate also piles on top.
To pick up the ball from the ground you must bend over. That is, unless the ball is bouncing. Someone comes in from the front as you are doing this, then you protect yourself the best way possible. Often, this could mean putting you head down again. They say “He ducked into it”.
If you put your head up it would bring back memories of Neil Saschse, Footscray’s South Australian recruit – say no more.
All the petty, ridiculous crime stats that Queensland and other states produce has to be worrying.
Noticed that the crime rate in Kerang were up this year also.
I believe that a lot of the problem with the youngsters is that they are after notoriety.
OK. Some of the time this is most definitely not the case, but it’s all pretty sad.
The police do a great job to catch perpetrators, who are then released. On April 8 three folk were detained after an alleged bashing, then immediately released on bail. Doesn’t help the community much.
What’s going on here, Kurly getting controversial. At least sticking his neck out.
In saying that it must be mentioned that the Komment had a positive phone call regarding the section about being responsible for your own actions.
Thanks for taking the time out to respond. Much appreciated.
Being away for a week it is a bit difficult to catch up with all the news and write this Komment, but one thing that must be mentioned is the rain.
The local area had a bit of rain, with Kerang probably getting a bit more than Cohuna. Haven’t heard what Koondrook Barham had, but I know that it usually rains a bit at Teal Point every time I go past there.
Anyway, I have been in Newcastle where it can really rain. They didn’t get the storms that Sydney received, but five inches in a couple of days. Was very interesting to see for a bloke from Kerang.
The Kerang District Health Op Shop will be closed from April 25 to May 2 so they can replace the carpet in the store that was damaged by flood waters.
You have to do this for health reasons as the carpet goes mouldy, which can cause health problems.
All the best to the folk down at Kerang district Health
While mentioning the Kerang District Health, I had better give my old mate Harry a bit of a plug down there at the Men’s Shed.
Harry has a lot of support from the hospital and together they keep quite a few blokes quite busy with different projects.
I know that Karl Peterson (is it a C or a K – gone with the K for the Komment) is kept a bit quiet with some of the work he does, and that has gotta be a good thing.
So Harry is a solid Sydney Swans supporter, who would at this stage have to be pretty happy with the blood’s efforts so far.
Harry was a gun footballer in his day and could have gone a lot further, but just loved his local club and people. All the best to Brent and the folk at the Men’s Shed.
