The blues comments seem respectful and well reasoned compared to the magpie tools. not a high bar. but still

discussion point - it seems the vast majority want Grundy in for Friday. i would prefer a fwd line of T Mac, Fritsch and Smith. so to not diminish Gawns immense influence in the ruck. After months of Grundy and Gawn not working together and not impacting the score board can people please explain why Grundy should come in? Cheers 🙂 I do acknowledge if Gawn is properly injured that is a reason but assuming he is fine

far out - just saw an article saying Maynard will likely be suspended for the same action next year. from the AFL Just when i think i’m over this, the anger rises again

If we lose on Friday we will have 2 straights sets finals exits sitting on our shoulders for 12 months this game is huge

its the last thing we need. We need to move on and show the players we are focused on friday night's game rather than playing the victim in the media and letting this play out for another 24 hours

C'mon guys, I know this has been a horrible week but we have a huge game in 2 days! if we win, we have a Prelim. How much did we dream of this 10 years ago and decades prior? Not saying you can't be upset or drained or over it, just some gentle encouragement to let it go and cheer the boys on when they need it most

OUT - Brayshaw, JVR IN - Jordon, Tomlinson The undefeated combination of Tomo, May and Lever to be reunited Smith to play fwd with Fristch and T Mac giving us more flexibility than Grundy or Gawn would offer. Gawn is in the form of his life and must play his Number 1 ruck role. We can't afford not to have our skippers influence around the ball. Trac to play 80% fwd also.

she’ll hide behind the tribunal and the process

Laura already protected the AFL by making sure it goes to the wink wink independent tribunal. i doubt she’ll care now

[censored] i wish we were playing them again this week

The AFL won’t appeal it sounded like they hardly argued. just went through the motions

At least we know if 48 hours we will still be none the wiser waiting on the 7 hour appeal makes you feel better right?

I agree. its all they have. terrible argument though I went to shepperd the bloke and accidently elbowed him in the head. that ok?

Apparently when Braydon handed Gus the bottle of wine, Gus tried to grab, misjudged where it was and spontaneously hip and shouldered the bottle. The Bottle fell to the ground and shattered Social act. His intention was to grab the bottle, then it came out of nowhere. Gus will visit the winery tomorrow to apologise to the grapes

you gotta work with what you have

Me try get ball, no get ball, then hit guy. football act have a juice box and sit down Braydon. Don't strain yourself

Football act - attempted smother dog act - head high bump on unprotected played after the ball was played ill concede he performed the former if he accepts the latter

so he was planning on giving a hip and shoulder to the turf? and then Gus flew into his path? lucky these blokes are dead set morons. if this is what they are opening with it shouldn’t take long to get to 3-4 weeks

Have the Pies appealed yet? this is all so pointless

He must be feeling very good to be out running. A great sign. If he makes if back for the Prelim it would be legendary

Good to hear the media narrative change a bit there might be a chance a suspension holds up to appeal after all

Surely the MRO not being trusted with a decision and being immediately overruled should be enough for him to be sacked Christian - for crimes against the AFL, and general incompetence, you are sentenced to 5 years out of the game. The MRO will be disbanded, to be replaced by the psychic octopus from the World Cup

The sad part is it doesn't matter at all what the MRO or tribunal say. We know they will appeal. can we just skip to the appeal? the rest is all BS. Not until 11pm on thursday night will be know anything

I just tried jumping on the spot in a smothering motion. I found it impossible to have time to change my body shape into a dangerous bumping shape leading with my shoulder. This is pretty impressive by Maynard. and indicates it is not a reflex but premeditated Arguing with these ****wits is starting to be like arguing with anti-vaxxers. they are so belligerent they don't even listen to other views

Next time we play collingwood i hope we ‘smother’ we our elbows out and shoulders ready ITS A FOOTBALL ACT
