My standard pattern. At home with lots of cold beer and beef jerky. How goods a Friday night game

"A reasonable player would break the laws of physics during a tackle given the 0.003 second opportunity to do so" - MRO, probably

A welcome reality check for Geelong

We are in furious agreement on this

Absolute rubbish. He didn’t need to have an inflammatory opinion on the incident, but he chose to do so. Sticking up for his mate that wasn’t even injured? Please. I am absolutely not better than that. Can’t wait to boo him.

Our KC did well to not focus on the injury (or lack thereof) and to press the case focused around rule 18.5.3 which gives JVR immunity to any physical outcome as he was contesting the ball (as stated by the tribunal). Well played sir, justice prevails.

This will be the biggest case a court has heard since the Nuremberg trials.

Ahh, i see you know your judo well

Nah, get Melk to do it I reckon

My Melbourne bias aside, this is a really sad day for footy.

Common sense will prevail here. JVR will get off and be available for selection this week.

He'll get off if we appeal. Simple as that.

Carlton are not a September quality side. Their bottom 6 players are horrible and their method is so predictable.

Some absolutely horrific calls in this thread from people certain Kozzie would go lol

I’d rather JJ over spargo when kade is playing the way he is

Very average performance. Does not compete when required. Depth at best

Asked for a 15 goal win in the pregame thread, got exactly that. Should’ve won by more.

GWS’ social media team are elite lol

I'll settle for a 15 goal win tonight. JVR to kick his first bag and take another contender.

A hugely underrated but important part of team both from a structural and cultural perspective. I've doubted him at stages over the years, but he's proven to be a real pillar of this team. On ya Nibs

I don't mind the idea of getting 1#, and Harley certainly sounds good, but who does he replace in the team in the short term? I have always preferred the Moneyball approach having said that. For me, whatever Taylor ends up doing is ok. He knows all.

Dees by 6+ goals. Don't forget to buy a veteran a beer tomorrow.

Fully expect us to bounce back and beat the tiges convincingly. I'm not buying into the post-loss Demonland hysteria just yet. Dons are playing pretty good footy and missing BB, Gawn and Lever was a huge issue structurally. I hope Tmac gets dropped, he's a downhill skier of the highest order and well past his best. I'd be looking at dropping Spargo too. Stay the course Dee's, its a long season and frankly I'd love to peak in the second half of the season rather than the first.
