    Yep, if 5 on the bench happened Gawndy works beautifully. Wonder if HQ went 4+1 after the trade happened?

    I've been thinking that too for a while now.  5 and I dare say a totally different outcome for us and Grundy

    What’s the point though, Layz? If the AFL were serious about it they would’ve made an effort yesterday instead of that half-arzed waste of time of a presentation they dished up. An appeal would only serve as another unnecessary distraction and further angst. 

    100% this.  I musn't be too smart - my simple view without any of the detailed evidence/biomechanics bs etc is that once you ELECT to jump, you become that missile, or flying frisbee, or whatever else they called it. I didnt see the fact he ELECTED to jump ( and therefore willingly became that missile/frisbee)anywhere in the prosecution of the case?

    Out: JVR, Brayshaw, Laurie

    In: Grundy, Spargo, Tomlinson

     

    Despite all the players out, I still had trouble fitting everyone in.

    This is a team that can beat Carlton:

     

    FB: Hibberd May Bowey

    HB: Rivers Lever Salem

    C: Langdon Sparrow Hunter

    HF: Chandler Gawn ANB

    FF: McDonald Fritsch Petracca

    Foll: Grundy Oliver Viney

    Int: Spargo Smith Pickett McVee

    Sub: Tomlinson

    Agree big time.  Grundy to ruck, Max to go behind or forward of the ball depending on the state of the game, Spargo at least will hit up someone 3-4 times.  Every goal to count.

    You need to understand the biomechanics of kicking a football

    When kicking long and straight on the run for a right foot kicker, to get power through the kick, the body has to lean and/or move to the right otherwise the kicker is unbalanced

    Same story for kicking on the left (think Buddy)

    And most importantly, all footballers know this including Maynard

    So knowing that Gus was going to lean or move right, Maynard lined him up accordingly

    I'm actually astonished that the tribunal didn't rebuke the biomechanist but maybe like a lot of people, they just don't get it

    You don't have to have played footy to know the above, simply observing is enough

    They also missed the stutter step as pointed out by @Ouch! here a few days ago

    A totally shoddy effort from the tribunal all round ... they were shown up to be rank amateurs.  Or they probably just failed in their duties by design

    Footnote: For place kicks in other sports the kicker (if a right footer) approaches from behind, from the left moving to the right ... they never come from directly behind

    The solution to our goalkicking ?  Still legal I believe ? 😉
