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.

Rankine and Hayward nothing. Rankine hip straight into guys face. MFC APPEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This guy is a moron who is targeting us clearly. Enough is enough. Gawn smashed in the face trying to mark and nothing. Fogarty a couple of weeks ago. This system is stuffed and Christian is hopeless. Appeal and show every incident he has let off.

They just said Pies run the ground to score 1 in 3 times, from the kick out. What would our stat be for that, kicking to a contest on the left side, nearly every time. Also what is the stat for scores by opposition from our kick outs. We don’t seem to be as focussed on our pressure as we were in 2021.

Exactly.

Or a player and a pick or two. However our target may not be the obvious Reid. We may want a few players.

Petty is out for several weeks.

Great to have you back BB

And who decides what is a sufficient attempt at winning the footy. What percentage would be required to make it not a suspension. What a joke this has all become. When every ex player says, with injury prevention at the forefront of their opinion, that Hunter did this perfectly to avoid injury as players have been taught, then why is one bloke, inconsistently, doing this job of penalising players.

That’s a bit unfair, as BBO has just organised his 10 yearly Manor spruce up. Those possum droppings in the moat will be removed and any dead animals also removed at the same time.

You should not be made to feel scared at a sporting event or anywhere else for that matter. If Ryan was physically attacked that is assault and he should report it to the Police, the AFL and Ground Management and Port Power. Threatening you and others and putting you in fear of your safety is also an assault and you should be doing likewise. Ringing and emailing news outlets and radio should also be considered. We don’t need our sport’s enjoyment being damaged by drunken thugs. Sorry you had that experience, but from what I have heard and seen, the time I went to watch us play in Adelaide, it’s not new or an isolated incident. No wonder inexperienced umpires are too scared to umpire properly in Adelaide.
