He’s been singled out because along with being a top-level AFL footballer (including the hefty pay-packet) comes a higher level of responsibility in matters such as this. He’s in the public eye, kids look up to him, he signed up for this. FWIW, I also believe jail isn’t necessarily the answer in this case. But a paltry fine and a 3-month curfew is grossly inadequate. That said, I think the judge made a very clever ruling by imposing the curfew since him missing an extra however many matches is effective and much deserved.

Methinks dude momentarily forgot his team is Richmond.

I think Super was confirming this same point. He was replying to a poster who was asserting that first time offenders who throw one punch would be unlucky to end up jailed.

The blood bayers, huh? Tell this to Pat Cronin’s mum and dad.

I saw that in his presser. What annoyed me most is he bagged the VIc. Premier for saying she questioned the message Balta’s selection sent to kids, and for describing the assault as a "sickening attack". Hardwick said, “… we've got a premier who put her nose in someone else's business. She should just concentrate on getting the state running well. Absolute mockery of her making comments with regard to that.” Pot/kettle much? Regardless of how anyone feels about the Premier, she has more of a right to comment on this matter than him… IN MY OH SO HUMBLE OPINION.

Reckon he doesn’t

Werridee, you’re very naughty! You’ve got your own “Best 22” thread, remember??!

This explains the answer to the question Why is golf called ‘golf’? Answer: because when the dictionary was first compiled the word ‘F*%#!’ was already taken.

Even Maxy himself rates that goal as the most important…

Let’s call it by its right name… A COWARD’S PUNCH

Mods, feel free to delete this thread 👍🏽

https://amp.abc.net.au/article/105099568 How does this 10pm curfew affect him playing on Thursday night?

Like I didn’t hate Hird enough already. It takes a special level of a-hole to downplay what Tracc did in the rooms.

I’m Ghosty. @ghost who walks is my groupie 🤣

You’ve been in his corner all along, and I reckon it won’t be in vain. You might remember I was never a fan, but after his first session back at training last year he spoke to me and another DA-er (who was also not a fan) for about 20 mins and it had a profound effect on us. He was totally candid, he spoke for the entire time and we just listened. When he talked about how much he loves the boys he teared up and If his speech in the rooms was anything like that, he clearly means it, and his belief in, and commitment to the club isn’t temporary as I once thought it might be.

For once Tommy’s not trolling. I just spoke with a guy who was in the rooms and he told me that Tracc’s (impromptu) speech was heartfelt and incredibly moving. Tracc said he’s 100% committed to the club. He said he loves the MFC and he doesn’t wanna be anywhere else. He told the boys he f@%#*#g loves them and his speech was very well received. There were even tears shed.

No voodoo doll for you, Super 💕 Besides, you’d know if there was because I don’t do plantar, that’s child’s play. I’m more of a vital organ type gal. 😁

We all know Max doesn’t need help missing a goal 🤭 Besides, you try flogging so much that your arms are ready to fall off, then get back to me. My biceps were issuing death threats throughout that match and this morning I realise they meant business. I can hardly raise my arms. 16 goals, that’s a lot of flogging, not to mention every time oppo lined up for goal up our end.

25,000… a great attendance, all things considered. I’ve yet to watch the replay but I heard that the commentators mentioned how loud the Dees fans were, and that post-match Max also mentioned it. On that, at one point in the last quarter, Max was lining up for goal and Kolt was standing on the goal line. I was in the front row on a flogger and Kolt turned around, caught eyes with me, raised his eyebrows, very subtly nodded towards Max and discreetly did the hand action of ‘turn it up!’ I turned to Ryan, our awesome chief noise-maker and said “Kolt wants us to go nuts!” And we did. Max kicked a behind but that’s not the point. The point is, it felt as though Kolt wanted Max to hear and see the support, which for mine is a great sign, to see a young player care about his captain like that. It also confirmed what a cheeky bugger Kolt is. I haven’t been in the cheer squad for as long as others but I’m sure this is something a seasoned player might do, not so much a colt, if you will 😁

You’re right, my comrade from the afterlife. I cried like a baby. Hell, I was crying at halftime coz we’d equalled our best full-time score already.

We use present tense instead of past tense and we’re confused. Soz ATG, but with such a good win there’s nothing else to pick on and without squabbling is this even really Demonland? 😁

Along with that, he tries his bloody hardest. He may not always win out but it’s not through want of trying.

Oh Ditcha… make no mistake… I’ll be wearing those socks to every single match. This evening I found my Demon Army socks in my son’s sock drawer and guess what? I’m leaving them there! Wore them five times, we lost all five matches. Never underestimate the power of the sock 😅

I didn’t shed a single tear.
