  1. I'm comfortable with Kozzy having a week suspension if the AFL decide they want to be ultra strict on head high contact, but this idea that the impact was 'medium' is ridiculous. It was low impact. I don't understand why they didn't change the gradings for head contact to: low impact - 1 week / medium impact - 2 weeks / high impact - 3 weeks and then severe straight to the tribunal for 4+. This 'potential to cause injury' wording just confuses everyone and muddies the waters. Fogarty should have got two weeks for that hit which was essentially the equivalent to Peter Wright except Cunningham got knocked out and Fyfe didn't. This is probably a bit to common sense though for the AFL to implement.
  2. That Fogarty one was a shocker! Ridiculous it gets graded the same as Kozzy. Just shows how broken their system is.
  3. That may be true, but just explaining to people how the MRO is meant to work. They should be assessing each action on its merit and not taking into account prior history.
  4. They don't take past record into account anymore other than for fines.
  5. Weeks is incorrect. Will be max 1 if anything. When you apply the matrix it is careless conduct, high impact and then either medium or low impact. That's either 1 week or a fine. To get 2 weeks it would have to be deemed as high impact, which it is not anywhere near.
  6. Just re-watched the highlights and paid particular attention to that Rivers push. It was one of the more blatant pushes I've seen! They did not show it once last night in a replay so had to watch the highlights to see it!
  7. Potential to cause injury.... yet someone retires someone and they don't use it...
  8. That was a f'ing disgrace.... And not one mention from Channel 7 showed who they were barracking for on the night....
  9. Asking for 4! c'mon mate that's ridiculous. Even if that was Maynard I would not be calling for 4
  10. To anyone having a crack at Kozzy saying he needs to change, I have seen numerous occasions this season where he was running towards a player and pulls up at the last second, so he has definitely changed the way he goes about it. This incident was a bit different to the previous bumps, given he was going for a spoil and then made glancing, side on contact. Will either be a 1 week suspension if deemed medium contact or a fine if deemed low. Going off the Max King one the other day which was similar I would say they will grade as medium, but who knows with the MRO.
  11. Oh yeah we definitely get screwed compared to Blues and Pies.... just depends how screwed.
  12. I think we definitely do.... which is probably why we finally get a home game v Geelong at the G and no travel down to Kardinia! Think they've requested this for 20 years straight....
  13. I remember listening to this on the radio as the game wasn't televised in Perth! Different time back then when you couldn't watch every game!
  14. Not an emergency so I would say no
  15. I love Judd McVee and I think they will work with him on improving his defensive game, which is already pretty strong for a 20 year old! Going to be a great long term player for us.
  16. Made the right decision and executed late with his kick to Fritsch also. Love him. Can't wait to see once he adds some muscle to his frame.
  17. Hopefully without the flopping like Rozee?
  18. Some of the comments in that thread are embarrassing. Shock, young players developing at Casey can be inconsistent....
  19. Exactly. Once he is OOC this changes, but for the end of this year we can just say no deal and he comes back for another season. These articles saying 'Crows think they can get him' are all just for clickbait, fact is we don't have to trade.
  20. Well yeah but you very rarely get what a player is worth once they are out of contract and want to leave, given the players can choose where they want to go. We are very lucky Freo tanked last year and we got Windsor!
  21. He wanted to leave though and was out of contract so we did the best we could. No point whinging about a player who didn't want to be here, when the majority do. Agreed about Gawn injury, but most teams are the same (dockers probably the only ones who can cover their number one ruck). If English goes down Dogs have to ruck either Darcy or Lobb full time. If Marshall goes down the Saints have Tom Campbell. If Soldo goes down the Power have Jordon Sweet and so on and so on. There aren't many good ruckman around and there are hardly any AFL standard rucks in the VFL.
  22. Lol I would never be bidding for that.... maybe the olympics but sounds like our pollies can't work together to organise anything
  23. It feels as though some people just want to be outraged no matter what is happening. It's like the Tasmanian stadium talk, they need to view this as an investment into the future of the state with potential sporting events and concerts to be held. Instead there are pollie's using the current economic issues to try stop progression, while fixing both is not necessarily unachievable.
  24. I assume no news is good news for Clarry..... 😐
  25. Sounds like the FD really rate Bailey and want to see him continue to grow and improve. I'm happy with this as it ensures we have decent depth on the list and it also give Bailey the opportunity to just focus on footy without the worry about coming out of contract. Lets also not forget that he would be on a relatively low wage for an AFL player so wouldn't be taking much out of our salary cap. Our recruitment team has been one of the best performed for 10 years now, so anyone trying to call out our misses is taking the p i $ $
