The moral of the story. It pays to have a good Attorney at Law. I hope we hire this Christopher Townsend fella that next time we want to get someone off the hook.

Very harsh to be having a pop at the strength and conditioning team because the team looks sore this year. Didn’t hear too many complaints during finals last year when the team dominated and swatted every opponent.

Thanks Red. So he got off on a technicality. what a farce Good luck to Carlton. they worked the system The tribunal stuffed up so that's on them. Gleeson needs to smarten up his ideas or give the job to someone who is competent

And what was all that bollocks about denial of natural justice. Does Cripps think he’s Julian Assange?

You’re the legal eagles around here Red. Does this ruling stack up in any way from a strict legal perspective. Or is it a case of picking an interpretation that suits in the circumstances.

We should have appealed the Chandler decision. MFC play too nice

Apologies to the conspiracy theorists. I'll be making my tin foil hat and joining your gang today

Lacks professionalism. Prefers the good time I believe

This team is good enough to win and should win Just get it done Dees

Not sure if another 2 years is worth it. It's 2 more years development that will benefit WC or Freo. I think it best to cut the cord now so we can make longer term plans with the picks we'll get

Goodwin and Richardson met with him last week. Not a rubbish topic at all. This trade could happen

You should start your own thread

They’re a different breed those pies supporters. It was hard to stomach their gloating after the game on Friday night

It's a hail Mary play. Chance of success less than 1%

I hope the appeals board extend his suspension, Carlton make finals (losing to us but beating the pies) and lose their elimination final by a point with their skipper looking on from the stands. Would serve them right.

I don't know who else is available but I wouldn't want to spend a first round pick on a second ruckman

Well then no deal. This is a salary dump so the pies will have to take a second or third rounder. They have little leverage here. Take lower picks or eat his salary for the next 5 years

The contract is the issue. The price needs to be right for us (which is nowhere near $1m. What a ridiculous contract that is) But why posters would be arguing against bringing a 2 time AA ruckman to the club based on his ability/style is beyond me. He can adapt and thrive with us I'm sure. And we fill the gap left by LJ departing while saving the picks we get for a crack at a KPF in a year or 2 (hopefully one of the King boys). If the price is right this move makes plenty of sense I reckon

It's the right decision. No conspiracy this time. the tin-foil hat brigade will have to find something else to occupy themselves with Further, I'm delighted he's not playing against us. He's a super player so him not playing improves our chances of winning

Makes sense at the right price. Just need a coach to help Maxy with his goal kicking. No point having him play forward if he's going to spray his kicks left and right

Matt Rowell got up and played on after the willie Rioli incident iirc. The Brisbane doc says that Ah chee is under medical protocols and will miss 1 or 2 games. Much different outcome so I think the ban will be upheld

Tommy bugg could throw a mean right jab

Never paid much attention to him previously, but between him acting like a tool and the pies fans singing that nauseating “USA USA” chant I’ve developed a strong dislike for the bloke.

bailey fritsch last year. initially rubbed out for a game (I think) but got off on appeal
