*MoeSyzlak dies in a freak bin related incident*

There’s a defamation court case looming over all of this, which is seemingly inevitable. The media is going to go to town on it and could dwarf this situation incredibly. If we think there’s pressure on us now, just wait until all of our dirty laundry is aired in a court case for the media to sift through. All the questions, all the innuendo, all the ‘what did X know’ etc. etc. etc. etc. Hopefully it’s not during the season I guess? I don’t have all the answers to this, but reviews/resignations/sackings is going to happen at some stage. We can get in front of that situation now for the sake of the club and move on from this administration and get in a ‘fresh start’ or we can hope the current administration can not let it affect the club whilst still being in charge… How’s that going right now? Change is inevitable and things are without a shadow of a doubt going to get very very messy.

‘I listened to what she said there and it’s just not true, I mean, there is no proper meaningful correspondence between CP and the club right now, so when she says it’s an open forum and this is a football matter, he’s not communicating anything as he doesn’t trust these people at the moment’ Interesting quote by Barrett.

What a perfect year of AFL football. There has never been a football of AFL like this football year of AFL.

FFS this is amateur hour. If you’re going to do an interview, representing the club in a time of (perceived or real, take your pick) turmoil, you don’t add to the turmoil by not having all your ducks in a row and being consistent in answering very straightforward questions. Does anybody have their hands on the steering wheel?

Well there’s a big big sound

Freo are choking badly here

EAT [censored] CARLTON AND YOUR SCUM FANS

Urghhhh he’s in trouble just from the very last action as far as I can see. Yes Moore ducks at the last second but if you watch the replay, Moore continues at the ball but kozzie pivots direction on his left foot away from the ball and towards Moore and ends up going across him. If he continued to run in the direction of the ball, he would’ve had a chance to argue it was more of a ‘collision’ rather than a hit to Moore. The argument will be that Kozzie initiated the contact when he had another option, not change direction and instigate contact first. Reverse the jumpers and make it a prelim final though and we would not have the same outcome in terms of weeks. Would be ‘nah the Melbourne player dropped his knees, it was his fault’ 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

I 100% get what you are saying, but all the vetting in the world can fall short when it comes to someone’s mental state, which put under pressure like an on air interview, can change very quickly in it’s stability. Especially if mood swings are at play which can happen in a matter of seconds. The fact he said yes and withdrew is not a good sign. I’ve made the point Traccs silence means he wants to leave and I now recognise that (even if it’s true) is a massive secondary issue compared to his mental health. So personally I don’t feel comfortable in speculating about anything that’s going on. I’m sincerely not casting aspersions on you or other posters, but I’ve been getting weird vibes for a number of days about questioning why he is or isn’t doing things but that’s just me. I legitimately just want him to be ok as this has all the makings of being way more serious than footy.

He may not be psychologically ready/able/willing enough to do a live interview? He went through a life threatening situation about 3 months ago. That can really affect a person. It has nothing to do with being a maturing man or a leader. Mental health issues can be crippling and can happen to anyone. Nobody, and I mean nobody, is immune from mental health issues.

Mason Cox is slow… but he’s also very very tall. Being a small, outside player than isn’t an amazing kick and mid paced makes his lack of overall skills all the more glaring IMO

The speed factor is huge. For the kind of player he is, he has to have speed in terms of AFL standards. He just looks mid paced.

For a 19 y.o. playing his 9th/10th game, I reckon he could be doing WAAAAYYYYY worse

Great kick petty!!!! Not bombing it high but at a height that is hard to defend

The AFL app needs a live pressure gauge.

Ahhhh yeah right, I forgot he was involved with AFLW. Guess we’ll see what happens!

BBB retires and a couple days later Stafford is gone/leaves, anything in that or a kawinky dink?

Contributed to us getting a flag so I’m eternally grateful! Best of luck for the future

Ahhhh it was graded as high contact so looks like he did make contact with the head.

Yeah I’m the same. A concussed player and ‘duty of care’ guarantees he’s gone even though it’s just looks to be a well executed hard bump. Oh wow, I thought they would have given him 4 so there’s a chance he could make the Granny. Maybe that will be the case after the appeal.

I’ve seen the clip a couple times and it just looks like a really good hard bump with no head high contact (there might have been but I can’t see any).

Jesus that is so sad. RIP

Nah I can easy, Jeff White was 72 years old when he retired. I know, because I know someone close to him and they told me. Without using any data (because it’s ‘anecdotal’ like you said and therefore not to be trusted) can you prove me wrong please?

Fun fact: that photo of Ali and Sonny Liston is Ali yelling at Liston to get off the canvas as it was a ‘ghost’ punch. Liston was indebted to the Mob and apparently took a dive in that fight. Go dees, haha
