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

Nah all good re: it being aimed at me. I can’t speak to much of that as it is hypothetical/speculative but what I will say on a personal note: In 2020 I got sick and had to go to Hospital. I was in extreme pain and was given morphine to treat it until they couldn’t give me any more pain killers. I went through 5-6 hours straight of 10/10 pain. Sounds weird but I didn’t know pain could be that bad. Point is, it was absolutely horrific and it changed me as a person and probably took me a good couple years to fully get over. So I agree that people are being too harsh on him. Does that mean he is incapable of doing wrong? Nope. But maybe 2 or so months after being in ICU, he is probably not going to have a proportional response to what he normally would emotionally.

I don’t understand what you mean when you say Data is anecdotal? Data is literally the opposite of anectdotal as it’s not a personal story or reflection, it’s hard numbers

Was just thinking the same thing. Don’t know the bloke, but he seems to be a very genuine and cool headed person. Type of guy you just want around the club. Thanks BBB! So happy he got a flag

You’re saying the quiet part out loud there Jaded, that’s my point, haha Tracc and Nick are superstars. Josh Daicos is a VERY good player. But not in their league. So if they wouldn’t accept that for Josh Daicos…

I’m not trying to join in on the pile on and am genuinely asking: If Josh Daicos wanted to leave the pies, do you reckon they would accept pick 32, Jake Bowey or Tom Sparrow and a late 3rd rounder?

This is the part of the story that doesn’t make any sense to me. Basically everyone knew of the seriousness of his injuries, so all the players must have known. He can be in recovery and doing nothing here, or up there. What is the difference and why would anybody (including players that found out late that he went there) care?

Keep it with the oliver oil.

Just write a totally unrelated allegory and we’ll put the rest together. I’ll start it: There was once a little android named CP5…

This has to be the case otherwise the whole two way frustration starting from KB doesn’t add up.

So wait hang on, either Morris had worded this poorly, or if it’s accurate this is absurd: - Players were frustrated that Tracc went to Noosa and wasn’t at the club. - They didn’t know the full reasons why he went to Noosa. - And when it was explained to them, they then understood. Tracc was in ICU 2 months ago and could have died… he’s been in Noosa for what, a month? A few weeks? So a few weeks after ALMOST DYING, he goes to Noosa… and other players are frustrated and can’t understand why he wasn’t at the club? They couldn’t figure out any reasons why Tracc wasn’t coming to work after what happened 2 months ago? What?

We’re the only interstate club to beat them at home this year aren’t we (unless I’m wrong)? I don’t know how hapless they are up there.

Unless I’m mistaken, isn’t that Layzies’ main point though? Not that he isn’t a creep, but because he is a creep, some people dismiss his reporting out of hand and that these are two seperate things? For the record, Morris has always given me Patrick Bateman vibes.

Well that’s a bloody response!

I mean that’s pretty much what I would’ve expected a CEO to say. All eyes are on the club at the minute and his words will be picked apart with a magnifying glass. Has to balance not saying something that will exacerbate media speculation whilst acknowledging the obvious tensions within the club and trying to assure fans that the club is dealing with this going forward. Not sure how I’d go being in his shoes.

Omg They both get him Double nightmare

Postman Pat had a black and white cat though? Is it the pies or the cats?

The biggest revelation coming out of this is Martin Pike head butted the CEO, haha Edit: sorry I should clarify, Martin Pikes head came a bit too close to the CEO’s nose says Leigh Matthews, who is part of the Lügenpresse.

Ok that’s fair enough. I would prefer him or the club to state that it isn’t true within 3 days, if they don’t, I can only infer that it is true until I hear different. We just disagree and that’s fine

Ok, so he hasn’t made a statement, why is that? Considering there’s a rumour out there that he wants to leave the club? It’s the kind of claim that DOES DAMAGE the longer you don’t address it.
