Daisy charged for striking Laidler! - can accept 1 game suspension

[ItsOurTime]

Well my recent bout of distemper is just about cleared up now and my nose is cold again! 

Have you stopped humping legs though? 

[PassIt2Carrots]

Don't expect it to be cheaper!

I have a 15 year old diabetic cat! I'm well aware. ;D

There's a cure for that! :-[ :'(

I'm afraid your prejudiced shows your ignorance.

Vets are trained every bit has heavily as any human doctor, cartilage, muscle, vascular systems, orthopedics and healing are virtually identical across all mammals. Most of those medical treatments, procedures and drugs used on athletes were invented or refined on animals under the guidance of a vet long before a doctor was ever allowed to use them on a person.

It turns out vets are at the cutting edge, it is the doctors who follow!

That's quite funny!  My day job involves the identification and analysis of human and animal skeletal remains.  Even though doctors often mistake animal bones for human bones, there really is little similarity.  Next time you have a spare moment, compare the structure of your leg that of a dog, cat, horse, sheep, etc.  Our bipedal gait means that our physiology is very different to other vertebrates.  Most creatures, with the exception of primates and reptiles, walk on their toes while humans walk on their toes, metatarsals and tarsal bones.

Yes, vets have a good general knowledge of vertebrate anatomy and physiology but they don't study human anatomy and physiology.

I prefer cushions - they're not as likely to kick.

I repeat this question.

Its been answered.

Risk/reward, i'd do it again.

You win some, you lose some.

If you don't play, you can't win.

Given your day job you should have exhibited far more respect for the extensive training vets have and their ability to read XRays, scans and echograms. Especially those who specialize and receive their doctorate, they can be as heavily trained as the best general surgeon.

So I gather your belittling McKay as a vet is just cheap points scoring exercise and rather pathetic given what you do!

Give it up LP!  When have I ever belittled Andy McKay?

Everyone with a skerrick of knowledge of how Carlton was operating knows that Malthouse and Swann sidelined McKay to give Daisy the deal to secure his financial future.

Your spurious argument collapses because vets, despite their extensive training, do not study human anatomy and physiology.  Furthermore, our club should be condemned if they relied on a vet to determine whether a crippled player could be rehabilitated.  That has to be up there with some of the most stupid comments ever posted here.  You've really excelled this time: congratulations!

Nobody has made any assumptions about McKay diagnosing Daisy, you are just trying to infer that to colour the debate.

But even after his most basic training McKay is infinitely more qualified than any coach, trainer, recruiter, administrator or taxonomist to listen to the assessment of the experts, form an opinion, make a decision and communicate that to the club.

You are happy to condemn his involvement in the process, yet next to the clubs orthopedic surgeons he was probably equal to or better than any other person in the club to be involved. It's just bizarre you continue your attack, you must really hate McKay!

Your closed minded attitude is the old Carlton, the bad Carlton, the thing that holds us back! Look for some positives in life, I appreciate it must be hard to do when your stuck dealing with the dead all day, but make an effort it will be rewarding!

You either have NFI or an overactive imagination LP, or perhaps both.

I really can't be bothered responding to your ignorant comments so let's just leave it at that.
