We may have our Appeal Ground right here if needed.

That kick was barely 7 metres.

I think we are going to be sprayed with BS about how he lost his drive, when in reality it’s probably a new gig at huge money, with a very good emerging list, that has many more advantages than most clubs, ( academies/picks) to get even better. Not to mention a warmer climate and nicer lifestyle.

The Suns stories are starting already. It would be realistic to guess he is already signed for next year.

Why would he do that; as it would be very likely he will be coaching again. He hasn’t walked away from 1.5 years pay, without another job. Just as an aside, he met my wife, daughter and grand daughter at a cafe and when they approached him, he couldn’t have been nicer to them, even when they said they were Dees fans. Chris Judd on the other hand, couldn’t have been ruder to my son, who incidentally played in the same junior competition 1 year ahead when they were in a store together.

That is 4 years away at least.

I don’t think you get a refund for suspension, just part of the risk. I would think the betting agencies would be in heaven if favourites are suspended.

Saints Captain Steele, bumps Giants Ash in head, after he kicks the ball. No problem a fine. Ran in and bumped an unsuspecting player, who has disposed of the ball.

You could mime it.

So will Dimma.

Wonder how Taranto and Hopper feel. I suppose the money eases a lot.

I think we can back in a new lifestyle on the GC, for Dimma and his partner. They have a list that can play finals. Agree he is not about to rebuild a list. The only other realistic possibility is Port, also with a ready made list.

I would imagine a sunnier place. This is obviously done with the Tigers blessing. They can now try out kids and plan for the future and look for a new Coach who can carry a rebuild.

MRO just suspended him for 2 weeks.

Do you know which team is the first to support team mates being unfairly dealt with? It’s the Pies, the team playing the most selfless footy in the AFL, pressuring the hardest, always running to help out team mates and with a great team first culture and of course, winning. We were them in 2021.

Umpires would have reversed it and paid a front on charge. They might have at the same time, also rung the interchange stewards, to see if Melbourne were over the 75 limit, so they could give a free and 50 to Port.

I think clubs pay their own costs. It’s another way of eating into FD allowance and income.

Can’t wait for the Tribunal genius to say at the Tribunal hearing, that Hunter in a split second, should have realised, that standing still had the potential to injure, without suggesting what he should have done instead. I still think the contact was to the chest as well. I hope we can also show the Rankine and Hayward incidents and ask if the Tribunal see them as different to the Hunter incident and deserving of penalties.

Welcome to AFL footy!

Kozzie got 2 weeks for potential to injure, after jumping up, but not injuring and with the victim patting him on the bum and smiling. Hayward jumps up, hits the victim in the face, a first gamer btw, puts him on his back, injured slightly and stuns him for a while and gets off scott free. How is actually injuring, while doing exactly the same action no penalty, while not injuring but having potential to injure 2 weeks. This is worse than chook lotto, it’s imbeciles at play.

Yes.

Then why haven’t Rankine and Hayward gone. Hayward left the ground for contact to the face. Rankine hit with his hip to the face. I would accept the week if Goody in his presser, said we are at a loss to understand what is illegal, when we see worse acts being allowed. He can word it in a way that avoids any fine, but at least say something. He could also mention that our players are completely confused when umpires pay frees against players, when the action rewarded later leads to a suspension. Make the comment we seem to be a very unlucky club in MRO decisions, then joke that it is probably just the rub of the green. It at least puts it out there, without direct criticism. Follow the lead of Scott and others.

Cats have about 4 of their best mids out, Danger, C. Guthrie, Duncan and Menegola plus Stanley.

And on the MRO who is totally inconsistent with his deliberations. How Rankine and Hayward aren’t cited for worse actions and outcomes, in the same weekend, is just bewildering .

I hope replacements can win it for us. Could be 4 changes.
