Someone earlier asked about the meaning of "running dead'. Same face comes to mind when I hear that expression.

Can see Colonwood losing to both Port and GWS. They struggled to beat us when we couldn't buy a goal.

If they don't appeal this, I will always believe the whole thing was a face saving, pander to CFC, farce. So on with the Collingwood Football League Final Series.

Can't see how he can get 1 week. They can find no case and he gets none. AFL would have to appeal that. They can't downgrade 'careless conduct'. They can't downgrade 'high contact'. They can downgrade 'severe' to 'high' impact. = 2 + weeks. Would expect the AFL to appeal that. Only other outcome then is 3 + weeks. I assume that any appeal against the tribunal finding would apply to guilt or innocence, not to vary the proscribed penalty.

Sure I heard him on commentary agreeing that there was nothing in it.

Worst part is so many hang off their every moronic word. Add Dunstall, JB and "Clickbait" Cornes.

Love every word of this. Hopefully we can start to get rid of some of the suck ups & morons from commentary and media as well.

Thing is we had no one who did do it well. Actually think Grundy offers way more than JVR has recently.

Security.. at the MCG.. non existent. I once saw two older ladies removed by one suit & 2 security guys. May have been caught on camera dosing up their lattes from a flask. Any serious bad behaviour they don't want to know.

Never been tough mate. Just a bog ordinary grub who knows there's no retaliation.

As distinct from black & white bias glasses?

Jumped in the air. First action was to smother. No injury. Suspended.

Remember K Pickett V B Smith. Pickett was pilloried (including here) for that. Differences - -Pickett didn't tuck up. -Pickett didn't knock Smith into next week. -Pickett wasn't wearing black & white. -Maynard is a bog ordinary footballer and a one trick serial offender.

Grubs. Add diver Ginnivan as well.

AA is as big a joke as the Brownlow these days. It's all media driven, boring and cringeworthy.

Could be interesting. A tanking contest?

Did anyone else expect Brayden Maynard to get done for dangerous tackles? Very similar to the Chandler one I thought.

Don't think he was playing forward.

You have a draft system You have incentive to "not try too hard". Not coaching to win is the same as not playing to win.

I waited in vain for some physical pressure on Butters. We are too nice.

Taught this in under 10s. Isn't the current interpretation that if you contribute to high contact it's play on?
