Imagine if we recruited Dusty Martin, or DeGoey.   What the natives would find wrong.

wtf

[Pennant St Dee 11,324]

Disappointing from both players, I was young once and did stupid things, so understand but I wasn't in their position. Not a hanging offence but still a mark against them

Some of the comments on here toward Spargo are disgraceful and some of you should hang your heads in shame.

Nobody should ever wish anything but the best for the players

I would assume the difference would relate to their respective ages and level of experience in a professional football environment.

Spargo is entering his third year in the AFL- absolutely no excuse for being so blaze about the rules.

Pickett can at least point to the stupidity of youth and inexperience.

but on that basis (seniority) ollie wines should have got 4 weeks

Gotta hand it to Spargo.

Puts in a round 1 performance at a level not seen since Isaac Weetra circa 2008.

Then coerced our premier albeit young small forward into attending a house party via an Uber during pandemic -  hence robbing us a key piece of the puzzle in somehow jagging our first win in 11 months.

I don’t think we’ll be seeing young Charles for a number of weeks.

You got a source for this?

Or are you just making complete [censored] up?

And poor though he was, is there any reason to stick the boot in further with the unnecessarily harsh Weetra call?

Is ANB in or is that what everyone is guessing

Nah Omac in. Has assisted goals all his career ?

How many breaches of AFL protocol were displayed when Selwood kicked that goal in 3rd Qtr? I wonder if Kozzie and Charlie cuddled their friends during their indiscretion.

BIG difference... the players in the games are all isolated in the “bubble”. The punishment meted out to Pickett and Spargo could also be considered a form of enforced isolation, as they had been in contact with people outside the players “bubble”... why is this starting to sound like an episode from Seinfeld? I blame the moops!!

Hopefully originally  getting  dropped spurs him on to bettr things

The way he worked in 2018, running hard to get to contests and contributing usually 1-2 goals a game was important. He is one that should feel like he has a point to prove, if this doesn't give him the kick up the bum he needs than nothing will.

Is it possible that Hannan might get a run?

There is something quite calming - and acceptable - about the late inclusion of 'Mr Nice' into our forward line under the circumstances. He has the skills, mobility and challenges fairly well for the ball. Go Hannan...and go Lockhart. We do have depth and it may be time to prove it across the board.

Absolutely guaranteed to get a week after the Essendon player got a week. I know they're young, but this is just plain idiotic.

You dont think the odd health issue plus the look of the game is more important than the big picture of Borders ??

I thought that also Ash.

God forbid if ONE player catches it and gives it to another or a few at their Club or even an opponent (which is greater odds than Gold Coast winning the premiership  really).

Also did you notice the Hawks bench lack of Self distancing 

Clarkson standing right behind a player and next to another official.

Please  correct me if that rule is not applicable to officials etc.

If it is not then non medicos are the only ones that should Not be distanced at times for the total look of the game.

In fact the over 50 year old officials at most Clubs are more in danger if they catch the  virus than their more juvenile counterparts!!

This at least means Jeffery Kennett should not be seen offering his unique brand of advice during the game from the comfort of the interchange bench.

(Did any one notice with some glee Eddy looked all strange and alone on Thursday night at the G !) 

[Dee Zephyr 17,660]

From what we have seen all summer and the hard work they have put in both must be cursing themselves right now for something that just needed a little more thought in this current environment. Kossie so close to running out with his fellow draftees and Bennell, Spargo on the cusp of the 22. 

Like anything else, a learning experience. I’m sure Max will tuck both under his arms and have a gentle word to them.

39 it might have also have been  that Charlie is not playing (only emergency) in the selected side.

Is a bit rude really if that is taken into account seems ad though he was the instigator or proponent in the matter.

Might be the little bum kick to assist Charlie turn his fortunes around!

Also good early setback fir Kossie to understand the TEAM ethos and hw will really feel it today and be remorseful.

Both should be asked to apologise publicly to their teammates and Coaches.

I would put Lockhart or Sparrow in as replacement.

Lockhart YES 
Sparrow NO but ascended to emergency role. Not sure he could come straight in under rules or It's ok but cause an unwelcome fine in this cost saving season.

Just watch him miss unmissable goals and make the easy look hard. I dont get it at all !!Surely Bedford or Lockhart add much more than ANB??

You’d better present yourself at The Manor For a jolly good flogging  picket

You might find it has a calming effect
