When Push Comes To Shove

Billy from Melbourne asks the Chief:
Billy,
The use of a foot or knee or any other part of the body for that matter (except the hands) is permitted because it is deemed to be part of the act of jumping or contesting the mark in the air. Using the hands is considered a separate and secondary act and has recently been outlawed. Please note I am not a fan of this rule. A push should be penalised as a push regardless of the part of the body that is used.
Cheers Chief.
Hi JD,
I have a boxers nose similar to the one you once had. I would like to correct it sometime soon. Can you tell me which surgeon did yours 'cos it looks great as I would be stoked to get a similar result.
Regards, Arch.
Dr Jack Kennedy repaired my sorry excuse for a nose after repeated breaks and heavy knocks. He is one of the leading 'nose' surgeons. We won't hold it against him that he is a passionate Collingwood man!!
Good luck. Cheers Chief.
Hi,
My dad showed me about the video that you and Danny Frawley did at Waverly Gymnastics. I just wanted to say it was hilarious and it should be done again. It was a good laugh :)
Are you doing any more of these? Georgia,
Cheers Chief.

Grant Spurrell says
G'day Chief, I would love to see the stat men and commentators delete any reference to the frees for and against statistic except maybe for coaching purposes at club level. The criticism I have as a result of one match last weekend in particular has to do with the imbalance brought about where at one end of the ground you have an umpire paying technical free kicks more in fitting with a game of tiddly winks whilst at the other end the umpire is running around with the arms flapping like a feldgling albatross trying to catch the breeze. The eventual result may have ultimtately been the same but lets get back to enjoying games decided on the merits of the teams playing rather than being frustrated by the manner and standard of umpiring
