Delta Force Director Has Promised the One Thing in Future Updates That Every Fan Was Looking For Delta Force Director Has Promised the One Thing in Future Updates That Every Fan Was Looking For Have you ever wanted to assume the role of different military operators, each having a unique ability on a futuristic battlefield, while you are in a literal PvP warfare? Then worry not, because Delta Force is bringing that exact experience to you on a silver platter. Delta Force has been the talk of the town for a while now. Team ***** is bringing back the OG military series with style this time, and introducing the newer generations to the saga that captivated players years ago with new live service elements. According to the director, the game will be getting constant drops of in-game content. Let’s delve deeper into this. Delta Force is sowing seeds of updates for the future Delta Force is a first-person tactical shooter game that is developed by Team *****. The game is free-to-play, hence both the single-player campaign and the multiplayer PvP won’t require any sort of payment, as well as it supports crossplay for PC and mobile devices, with the developers planning to release the game on home consoles in the near future. Delta Force is the latest installment in the 1998 series with the same name and was developed and published by NovaLogic. Although the 1998 game was a cult-favourite with players, even enjoying it now, NovaLogic couldn’t keep up with the changing landscape of the gaming industry and faced many legal and financial issues. Hence, they had to give up on the original series. While NovaLogic could not keep up with the pressure of constantly keeping their series feel new and fresh, Team ***** is promising to do just that and provide a more enhanced experience with fresh updates. In a recent Reddit Q&A discussion led by Team *****, the director of the game, Shadow Guo, replied that they are planning for more maps, firearms, and operators. We have plenty of ideas! Obviously I can’t just reveal everything but expect constant drops of new maps, Operators, firearms and more. We also have something very exciting to share in the upcoming 2025 roadmap so stay tuned! In the same Reddit discussion, Guo also mentioned how the single-player campaign is similar to the classic Delta Force experience, while the multiplayer will be more futuristic warfare-focused. Team ***** is planning for more than just casual updates Team ***** is breathing new life into the classic series | Image Credits: Team ***** Team ***** is not just reviving a classic, but they are also aiming to create a living, breathing multiplayer space that will grow alongside their player base. In a world of live-service titles where they often shine brightest on their launch day and slowly fizzle out months later, Delta Force is showing signs of being built with longevity in mind. From day one, the developers have been quite transparent about what their vision is, from sharing development insights to promising consistent updates, these stay with the fans and give them hope of something new every time they open the game. While others have stepped away from their live-service commitments, this new multiplayer PvP is stepping in. Delta Force is not just another PvP tactical shooter, but it is a promise that the game will house players for the long run, eventually flourishing with the battlegrounds and with the franchise’s community as well.

A brain dead pregnant Georgia woman is a horror story. It’s Republicans’ fault. A brain dead pregnant Georgia woman is a horror story. It’s Republicans’ fault. A horror story is unfolding at an Atlanta hospital right now. Adriana Smith, 30, was nine weeks pregnant when she sought medical treatment after experiencing intense headaches. The hospital didn’t run any tests – just gave her medication and sent her home, according to reporting from 11Alive, an NBC affiliate. The next morning, her boyfriend woke up to her making gargling sounds, believed to be caused by internal bleeding. She was rushed to a different hospital, where a CT scan revealed blood clots in her brain. She was later declared brain dead – meaning that, legally, she is no longer living. Even though she will never regain consciousness, Smith’s body is being kept alive by machines, all because her pregnancy had progressed three weeks beyond the limit set by Georgia’s abortion ban. “It’s torture for me,” her mother, April Newkirk, told 11Alive. “I see my daughter breathing, but she’s not there.” This is the terrifying reality of what Republicans created – for women to be stripped of their dignity, to be seen as nothing more than wombs. The GOP allowed this nightmare to happen because they refused to listen to medical professionals who told them laws like the one in Georgia would create complicated scenarios. Now, one family must live with the pain, as well as the financial burden. This Georgia woman is an example of what Republicans want Abortion rights activists hold signs as they gather at the U.S. Supreme Court to mark the second anniversary of the Court overturning Roe v. Wade, in Washington, U.S., June 24, 2024. , U.S., June 24, 2024. Smith has been on life support for more than 90 days now. Her pregnancy has progressed to 21 weeks. When she reaches 32 weeks, doctors will try delivering the baby, meaning that until then, her body is being forced to continue breathing, essentially a vessel for her unborn child. According to Newkirk, it’s possible the baby will be born with health complications due to fluid on his brain. “This decision should’ve been left to us,” she told 11Alive. “Now we’re left wondering what kind of life he’ll have—and we’re going to be the ones raising him.” Opinion: It’s official: Trump is a historical failure and we’re finally admitting it Along with her unborn child, Smith is leaving behind a son. The child has been visiting his mother in the hospital and believes she is sleeping. While Newkirk says she doesn’t know whether the family would have chosen to terminate the pregnancy, the option wasn’t even given to them because doctors are required to follow the state’s six-week abortion ban. If Roe v. Wade were still the law of the land, they would have had a choice. According to lawmakers, Smith is no longer in imminent danger, a situation in which doctors would be allowed to perform an abortion. Imagine that this is your daughter – a mother, a girlfriend, a person, being treated as less than human to protect the fetus growing inside her. Imagine knowing she is dead and not being able to plan a ******** service or even grieve because her body is still breathing. Imagine knowing that welcoming a child into the world will mean your loved one’s imminent death.

Download it for free from your app store. This Georgia case isn’t an anomaly. Women have been suffering. This isn’t the first atrocity due to Georgia’s abortion ban. Last year, ProPublica reported that two women died from pregnancy and abortion-related issues after the ban went into effect in 2022. Despite these unimaginably bleak stories, Republicans are still rallying against abortion regardless of the dangers it poses to women. Opinion: Congratulations, Republicans! Your fear of pronouns is tanking the economy. This is the new normal that Republicans fought for. Even in the wake of this tragedy, members of the party are refusing to take responsibility for this horrible scenario. “I think this is an unusual circumstance, but I think it highlights the value of innocent human life,” Georgia Sen. Ed Setzler, one of the sponsors of the six-week abortion ban, told the Associated Press. “I think the hospital is acting appropriately.” Even though Smith and her boyfriend wanted this child, it’s important to note that at nine weeks, her fetus would barely be past the embryo stage and unable to survive on its own. The choice of what happened next shouldn’t be left to lawmakers who are unaffected by the hospital bills and emotional pain. It should have been left to the family. This is not about protecting women. It was never about protecting women.

‘Stealing funds’: ATO warning as three people jailed over tax fraud ‘Stealing funds’: ATO warning as three people jailed over tax fraud With Aussies looking forward to that end-of-financial-year rebate, the *********** Taxation Office (ATO) has issued a stern warning about GST fraud. In a timely reminder about the consequences of committing fraud, three people from Queensland have been jailed in May. Tiarn Payten Nutley was sentenced to nine months in jail for using an existing *********** business number (ABN) to claim GST refunds for a fake beauty and salon business. Nutley shared her myGov log in with two of her friends who lodged six false business activity statements (BAS) in her name. She was sentenced for one offence of dishonestly obtaining a gain of nearly $50,000 and further trying to obtain $25,000. Nutley was released on a recognisance release order of $2000 but is required to be of good behaviour for 12 months. Camera IconA woman has been sentenced over fraudulent GST claims on a fake salon business. NewsWire / Gaye Gerard Credit: News Corp Australia Her friend Skye Anne Hoek gained more than $25,000 after registering her ABN for GST and lodging two BAS that contained false information. She was sentenced to three months’ jail without a recognisance release order. Gregory Pimm ran an even more elaborate fraud system – a fake road freight transport business that he claimed to run from his home. He fraudulently obtained more $265,000 in GST refunds and further tried to obtain $300,000. Pimm lodged 37 BAS for his fake business and falsely reported total sales, GST collected, GST on purchases made for the business, and GST credits the ATO owed him. Camera IconA man was jailed after obtaining $265,000 in fraudulent funds for a fake road freight transport business. NewsWire / James Gourley Credit: News Corp Australia He was sentenced to two years and six months in jail for obtaining and attempting to obtain a financial advantage by deception. Pimm is to be released on recognisance of $500 after six months’ imprisonment. He is also to be required to be of good behaviour for three years and subject to the supervision of a probation officer for two years. All three were arrested under Operation Protego, which has taken compliance action against more than 57,000 alleged offenders – 105 convicted. Acting ATO Deputy Commissioner and Serious Financial Crime Taskforce chief Kath Anderson said these prosecutions sent a strong reminder that the ATO would bring those who commit fraud to account. Camera IconActing ATO Deputy Commissioner Kath Anderson said the fraud crackdown would continue. Supplied Credit: Supplied “Deliberate noncompliance has consequences. The ATO will actively pursue debts obtained through fraudulent GST funds, using all the tools at our disposal to recoup those funds. Those who seek to defraud the tax and super systems will get caught and face the full force of the law,” she said. “We are equipped with resources, sophisticated data matching, analytics capability and intelligence sharing relationships. If you think you won’t be caught, think again. “These individuals face long-term consequences. Not only do they need to repay the money, but they will have a criminal record, which may affect their ability to secure employment, obtain finance or insurance and travel overseas. “Engaging in GST fraud rips off your own community by stealing funds that would go to essential services, like health and education. “Under the ATO’s Counter Fraud Program, we will continue to grow the capability and tools we need to respond to fraud in an agile and sophisticated way, collecting data and information to prevent, detect and address fraud in close to real time.” Source link #Stealing #funds #ATO #warning #people #jailed #tax #fraud Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content] For verified travel tips and real support, visit: [Hidden Content]

Developing nations face ‘tidal wave’ of China debt: report Developing nations face ‘tidal wave’ of China debt: report The world’s poorest nations face a “tidal wave of debt” as repayments to China hit record highs in 2025, an *********** think tank warned Tuesday in a new report. China’s Belt and Road Initiative lending spree of the 2010s has paid for shipping ports, railways, roads and more from the deserts of Africa to the tropical South Pacific. But new lending is drying up, according to Australia’s Lowy Institute, and is now outweighed by the debts that developing countries must pay back. “Developing countries are grappling with a tidal wave of debt repayments and interest costs to China,” researcher Riley Duke said. “Now, and for the rest of this decade, China will be more debt collector than banker to the developing world.” The Lowy Institute sifted through World Bank data to calculate developing nations’ repayment obligations. It found that the poorest 75 countries were set to make “record high debt repayments” to China in 2025 of a combined US$22 billion. “As a result, China’s net lending position has shifted rapidly,” Duke said. “Moving from being a net provider of financing — where it lent more than it received in repayments — to a net drain, with repayments now exceeding loan disbursements.” Paying off debts was starting to jeopardise spending on hospitals, schools, and climate change, the Lowy report found. “Pressure from ******** state lending, along with surging repayments to a range of international private creditors, is putting enormous financial strain on developing economies.” The report also raised questions about whether China could seek to parlay these debts for “geopolitical leverage”, especially after the United States slashed foreign aid. While ******** lending was falling almost across the board, the report said there were two areas that seemed to be bucking the trend. The first was in nations such as Honduras and Solomon Islands, which received massive new loans after switching diplomatic recognition from Taiwan to China. The other was in countries such as Indonesia or Brazil, where China has signed new loan deals to secure battery metals or other critical minerals. sft/lec/rsc Source link #Developing #nations #face #tidal #wave #China #debt #report Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content] For verified travel tips and real support, visit: [Hidden Content]

This Is the No. 1 Thing Every American Should Do With Their 401(k) This Is the No. 1 Thing Every American Should Do With Their 401(k) Millions of Americans have access to a 401(k), but many are leaving money on the table. According to Vanguard’s annual retirement savings report, nearly one in five workers isn’t taking full advantage of an essential retirement benefit. Find Out: The Money You Need To Save Monthly To Retire Comfortably in Every State ‘Trending Now: The New Retirement Problem Boomers Are Facing So, what’s the smartest move an employee can make with their 401(k)? According to financial experts, the overwhelming answer is clear. When it comes to 401(k) plans, the single most important move an employee can make is to contribute enough to receive the full employer match. It’s one of the few instances in personal finance where the reward is both guaranteed and immediate. A 401(k) employer match is a contribution made by an employer based on the employee’s retirement plan contributions. For example, if an employer matches 100% of contributions up to 5% of salary, an employee earning $60,000 per year could receive an additional $3,000 annually, just by contributing $3,000 themselves. Advertisement: High Yield Savings Offers Powered by Money.com – Yahoo may earn commission from the links above. “If you’re not taking advantage of the full benefit, it’s like leaving free money on the table,” said Katharina Reekmans, a financial expert at TurboTax. “The contributions from your employer are an immediate return on your investment and with no risk.” However, Reekmans said contributing to a 401(k) is a great way to save for the future, even without an employer match. For example, in 2025, 401(k) contribution limits rise to $23,500, with extra room for older workers through catch-up contributions. Be Aware: This Is the No. 1 Mistake Americans Make With Their 401(k) Despite the clear benefits, millions of eligible workers still don’t take full advantage of their 401(k) plans, especially the employer match. According to Vanguard’s “How America Saves 2024” report, about 18% of eligible workers are not participating in their 401(k) plans at all. Among those who do contribute, many aren’t saving enough to qualify for the full match. For some, it’s a matter of financial strain. Contributing to a retirement account can feel like a luxury when budgets are tight, especially for Gen X who are juggling caregiving for parents and children and rising living costs. Gen X generally contributes the least to 401(k)s, often falling behind younger generations like millennials and Gen Z in terms of savings and participation rates. According to an annual Fidelity retirement planning survey, several factors contribute to this, including delayed savings initiation, lack of awareness about 401 (k) plans in their early years, and financial burdens related to family and career transitions. Story Continues Others don’t understand how the match works or assume their employer’s contribution will happen automatically, even if they’re not contributing themselves. After securing the full employer match, there are several smart steps individuals can take to strengthen their retirement savings strategy. Many 401(k) plans offer automatic escalation features that raise contributions by 1% each year. This slow increase can significantly boost retirement savings with minimal impact on take-home pay. “I often see people set an initial contribution rate and forget to revisit it,” said Mindy Yu, Senior Director of Investing at Betterment at Work. “That’s where auto-escalation can help people avoid shortfalls in their savings.” Yu explained, “Start with what you can afford, even if it’s just enough to get the match, and build from there. Set a reminder to increase contributions annually or use auto-escalation if available.” Changing jobs is a common transition, but many workers forget to take their 401(k) with them. “It can result in higher fees or misaligned investments if left unchecked,” Yu said. “If you’re not rolling your old 401(k)s over or actively managing them, that money can lose momentum.” Individuals can also protect their retirement future by avoiding early 401(k) withdrawals, which often trigger taxes, penalties, and lost growth potential. “If you withdraw from a 401(k) before you are age 59.5, the withdrawn amount will have a 10% early withdrawal penalty, leaving many shocked at tax time if they owe more than expected or are getting less of a refund,” Reekmans said. Experts said the second-smartest thing individuals can do is start a 401(k). “It’s never too early or too late to start saving,” Reekmans concluded.

Bunbury couple win $1m in Lotto Millionaire Medley while waiting for son to get a haircut Bunbury couple win $1m in Lotto Millionaire Medley while waiting for son to get a haircut Their son was getting a haircut so rather than wait, why not go buy a Lotto ticket. Besides, it was what they always did when they visited somewhere new — except this time it was a very different ending. The Bunbury family where in Mandurah when they dropped into Lakelands, where their son got a haircut and they bought a Millionaire Medley from Lakers News. It was a life-changing decision. “If I ever travel to a unique or different area, I’ll visit a Lotterywest retailer,” the mum said. “As my son was getting a haircut, I decided to grab a ticket rather than sit there and wait.” The split-second decision led to the couple becoming instant millionaires. They said that while the prize would make life more enjoyable, they were for now letting the incredible win sink in before making any big decisions. Lotterywest spokesman James Mooney said that it had been a great month for Lotto players in WA. “In the space of a little more than a week, Lotterywest has created four new WA millionaires thanks to Saturday Lotto and Millionaire Medley,” he said. “This year, WA has celebrated 28 division one winners and it would be great to see this tally grow following tonight’s $50 million OZ Lotto jackpot.” Source link #Bunbury #couple #win #Lotto #Millionaire #Medley #waiting #son #haircut Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content] For verified travel tips and real support, visit: [Hidden Content]

Maryland congressman denied access to see man wrongly deported to El Salvador Maryland congressman denied access to see man wrongly deported to El Salvador SAN SALVADOR (Reuters) -A Maryland congressman said on Monday he was unable to meet one of his constituents, a Salvadoran man wrongly deported from the United States to a prison in El Salvador. Representative Glenn Ivey, a Democrat, had traveled to El Salvador to meet Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who is being held in the notorious CECOT prison for gang members. Ivey, speaking in a social media video that appeared to have been filmed outside the prison, said that he and Abrego Garcia’s lawyer had not been allowed inside. “If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap,” Ivey said. He added that a formal request had been made with the Salvadoran ambassador to the U.S. ahead of the visit, but when he arrived at the prison officials told him he needed a permit to enter. Abrego Garcia’s case has pitted the defiant administration of U.S. President Donald Trump against the courts, including the Supreme Court, raising the prospect of a constitutional conflict after the government acknowledged he was deported because of an administrative error. El Salvador’s government has also refused to return him. The government on Monday did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Ivey’s visit. The White House has repeated the unproven accusation that Abrego Garcia is part of MS-13, which the administration has designated a foreign terrorist group. Abrego Garcia’s lawyers deny any gang affiliation, saying he left El Salvador at 16 to escape gang-related violence and received a protective order in 2019 to continue living in the United States. U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen, a Maryland Democrat, was able to meet Abrego Garcia in April. Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele showed photos of the two meeting at a hotel, seated with margaritas. Van Hollen decried the set-up as an attempt by Bukele to contradict the narrative that Abrego Garcia was being held in harsh conditions.

Proposed AFL stadium cost blows out to near $1 billion Proposed AFL stadium cost blows out to near $1 billion The cost for a new waterfront stadium in Tasmania, a condition of the state’s licence for an AFL team, has further blown out to almost $1 billion. The island state’s Liberal government on Tuesday released fast-track legislation designed to speed up approvals for the contentious project. A 23,000-seat roofed venue at Macquarie Point in Hobart is a contractual condition of the Tasmania Devils’ entry into the AFL in 2028. Its slated cost is now $945 million, up from the previous estimate of $755 million and the original figure of $715 million. Business and Industry Minister Eric Abetz said the increase was to “better cater for a wide range of planned uses”, including cricket. “It also accounts for detailed items such as audio-visual, communications, kitchen, and food and beverage fit-outs,” he said. Mr Abetz was confident a solution could be found to ensure cricket could be played at the venue, after Cricket Australia raised concerns about the proposed hatched roof design. The governing sports body says daylight cricket can’t be played under the current design because of shadows cast on the field. Cricket Australia and Cricket Tasmania indicated in early May no suitable mitigations had yet been found. Decisions on what materials to use for the roof were still being made, Macquarie Point Development Corporation chief executive Anne Beach said. “We’ve looked at other venues and looked at how they’ve managed (shadows),” she said, adding a “test rig” would be set up to help alleviate concerns. The state government has pledged $375 million to the stadium, the federal government $240 million and the AFL $15 million. The remainder, some $300 million, will be funded through state borrowings. Supported by the Liberals and Labor opposition, the fast-track legislation will pass parliament’s lower house at a vote expected in coming months. But a green light in the upper house is trickier – the government doesn’t hold the numbers and needs several independent MPs to vote in favour. A number of independents are either anti-stadium or have raised concerns about the project and the government’s fast-track bid. Premier Jeremy Rockliff has reiterated Tasmania won’t have an AFL team unless the stadium is built. A recent planning report found the venue would be “overbearing” and it would leave Tasmania with an extra $1.86 billion of debt after a decade of operation. Concerns raised in the report had been addressed in the legislation and permit plans, Mr Abetz said. Tasmania faces financial penalties if the stadium isn’t 50 per cent built by October 2027 and ready for the 2029 season.

US aid kept many hungry Somali children alive. Now that money is disappearing US aid kept many hungry Somali children alive. Now that money is disappearing The U.S. Agency for International Development once provided 65% of Somalia’s foreign aid. Now that funding is disappearing. The money had been crucial in a country described as having one of the world’s most fragile health systems. USAID is being dismantled. And in Somalia, dozens of centers treating the hungry are closing.

Billie Eilish takes top prizes at American Music Awards Billie Eilish takes top prizes at American Music Awards Birds of a Feather singer Billie Eilish has nabbed the top honour on at the American Music Awards, winning artist of the year in Las Vegas at a red-carpet ceremony that celebrates winners selected by fan votes. Pop singer Eilish claimed the artist prize on Monday over Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, Morgan Wallen and other nominees. Eilish won all seven categories in which she was nominated, including album of the year and favourite touring artist. “This is so crazy. I feel speechless,” Eilish said in a video message from Europe, where she is on tour. “I wish I could be there tonight.” Eilish, 23, released her third studio album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, in May 2024. That’s So True singer Gracie Abrams, winner of new artist of the year, also sent a recording to accept her honour. She thanked her fans, who she said “I have been lucky enough to learn from”. “They have reminded me of the light that exists out there,” Abrams said. SZA took home AMA accolades for female R&B artist and for R&B song for Saturn. Becky G was named favourite female Latin artist. Many big names on the nominees’ list didn’t attend the show, which was broadcast live on CBS from the Fontainebleau Las Vegas hotel. One absentee was Beyonce who claimed favourite female country artist and favourite country album for Cowboy Carter, her first AMA wins in country categories. Post Malone was named favourite male country artist. Other no-shows included Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar. Lamar went into the ceremony with a leading 10 nominations. He earned one award, favourite hip-hop song, for Not Like Us. The festivities opened with host Jennifer Lopez singing and dancing to a six-minute medley of 23 hits by the nominees. The songs included Eilish’s Birds of a Feather, Sabrina Carpenter’s Espresso and Beyonce’s Texas Hold ‘Em. Janet Jackson was honoured with the Icon award, a tribute for artists with global influence. “I don’t consider myself an icon,” Jackson said on stage. “The one thing that I hope for is that I’m an inspiration for others to follow their dreams and succeed.” Eighty-year-old Rod Stewart received a lifetime achievement honour and danced and sang to his pop hit Forever Young, which was released in 1984. Stewart said that when he started his career “I had this burning ambition to sing”. “That’s all I wanted to do. I didn’t want to be rich or famous,” he said.

Trump Ripped After Bonkers New Rant Against ‘Absolutely CRAZY’ Putin Trump Ripped After Bonkers New Rant Against ‘Absolutely CRAZY’ Putin Critics slammed President Donald Trump on Sunday after a significant new retreat on one of his biggest campaign promises: ending the war in Ukraine. Trump vowed repeatedly that he would put a stop to the fighting on or even before his first day in office. But with the war still raging ― and Russia launching a massive new assault on Ukraine over the weekend ― the president on Sunday fired off a message on social media blaming everyone else. “I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social website, blaming Putin for “needlessly killing a lot of people.” “I’ve always said that he wants ALL of Ukraine, not just a piece of it, and maybe that’s proving to be right, but if he does, it will lead to the downfall of Russia!” Trump warned. He also slammed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and former U.S. President Joe Biden. “President Zelenskyy is doing his Country no favors by talking the way he does. Everything out of his mouth causes problems, I don’t like it, and it better stop,” he said. “This is Zelenskyy’s, Putin’s, and Biden’s War, not ‘Trump’s,’ I am only helping to put out the big and ugly fires, that have been started through Gross Incompetence and Hatred.” Trump also railed against Putin when he spoke with reporters on his way back to the White House on Sunday evening. “I’m not happy with what Putin’s doing. He’s killing a lot of people and I don’t know what the hell happened to Putin,” he said. “We’re in the middle of talking and he’s shooting rockets into Kyiv and other cities. I don’t like it at all. I’m surprised, I’m very surprised.” During the campaign, Trump claimed he would end the war immediately on taking office ― and perhaps even earlier. “I would fix that within 24 hours, and if I win, before I get into the office, I will have that war settled,” Trump said in 2023. “100% sure.” He walked that back after winning the election. “I hope to have six months,” Trump told reporters at a news conference in January, before taking office. “I hope long before six months.” Trump’s critics hit back at his latest message on the war ― and reminded him of his promise to end it: Source link #Trump #Ripped #Bonkers #Rant #Absolutely #CRAZY #Putin Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

Fremantle Dockers coach Justin Longmuir hopeful ahead of captain Alex Pearce’s date with AFL Tribunal Fremantle Dockers coach Justin Longmuir hopeful ahead of captain Alex Pearce’s date with AFL Tribunal Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir believes accidents can’t be removed from the AFL and hopes the tribunal will rule in his captain Alex Pearce’s favour when he fights a three-match ban tonight. Pearce will contest the charge of engaging in rough conduct towards Port Adelaide’s Darcy Bynre-Jones in the hope of being available to play against Gold Coast this weekend. The pair collided when running in different directions to take a mark and the Power player was forced out of the game with concussion. WATCH THE INCIDENT IN THE VIDEO PLAYER ABOVE Longmuir said players had become so courageous with the way they attack the ball that accidents were bound to occur. “I do feel there’s football collisions that happen with two players going at the footy and understand there are going to be injuries from that,” he said. “It’s really unfortunate. You don’t like to see anyone going off with a concussion. But we talk about Cooper Simpson’s injury. He’s going to miss 10 weeks because he was on the line of the ball. “Players put themselves in those positions continuously and sometimes you come off second best. I just feel that was one of those contests.” Longmuir said coaching players to have the correct technique to protect themselves when running with the flight of the ball was difficult. He said most players would do whatever they felt was required to win the ball, even if that meant taking extreme risks. Camera IconDockers footy boss Joe Brierty with Alex Pearce. Credit: Andrew Ritchie/The West *********** “I think some of them are borderline reckless,” he said about running with the flight. “We ask a lot of our players. That’s one of many vulnerable situations that our players put themselves in each week. “People want to say the game’s not as physical as it used to be, then you get those moments. I really appreciate and have great gratitude for players in the modern game who put themselves in that position. “Whether you call it courageous or what the team needs or whatever, we’ve got a lot of courageous people playing AFL football. “We can (ask them not to) but players are so competitive. They want to win. He (Byrne-Jones) was thinking ‘I need to go back and mark this ball so I can kick a goal for my team. “Or he might be thinking I need to go back and make this a ground ball in my forward 50 so Fremantle don’t take another intercept. “We can coach them but players are competitive beasts who want to impact the game. I think it’s really admirable for what our players put themselves through across the comp.” Source link #Fremantle #Dockers #coach #Justin #Longmuir #hopeful #ahead #captain #Alex #Pearces #date #AFL #Tribunal Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content] For verified travel tips and real support, visit: [Hidden Content]
