Come on OD a bit of confidence.

Apparently.

He won’t be against us.

Not great when Pies win, but great when Blues lose.

And they wouldn’t.

Because they were absolutely rubbished and Gawn plays for us, not an AFL love child club.

But you know he would not get off.

Agree Dwight. I also don’t believe Maynard wanted to knock out Gus, but rather make him earn it and it went beyond his intent. Unfortunately we know the rest. I tell you what I want in footy. I want us to win this years’ flag, have Gus present the cup and run the lap with the boys. Then I want the boys to win the next two. Is that too much to wish for? On another note, the AFL MRO/Tribunal decisions, are so inconsistent and random, that they have become nothing more than a joke to the whole football world. Even the time it is taking to finalise the Smith case is simply ridiculous and totally unprofessional in its delay.

Agree. Unless we get our disposal right it will be curtains. We also will need to bring constant pressure. Do those two things well and we can beat them.

I still think Eddie's behaviour in the restaurant after Maynard got off was disgusting. Would love the opportunity to remind him, that he cheered for a bloke getting off at the tribunal, for ending another bloke's footy career and permanently injuring him. He makes it very hard for me to watch Footy Classified on a Wednesday night, when he hosts, as he inserts the Pies into every topic. It is simply pathetic. We are not even allowed to change Presidents at Board Level, without being constantly hounded to death by a particular journalist.

You should have seen the abuse and anger I copped from a mature, otherwise very sensible Pies fan, when we were discussing the incident. I said after Maynard got off, that the AFL will 100% outlaw that the next year and he then continued with the abuse and anger.

We know how often people play their best games against us. Just recently Cam Rayner was the perfect example. I expect Hawkins to break his goal drought against us.

Hope he has a lot of sons.

But that choice was probably dictated by senior opportunities. I suspect if he knew Brayshaw was retiring he would have stayed. He has played every game for the Swans so far this year. Bedford was probably the same, left for senior opportunities. Has played every game for the Giants this year.

This will be a great test for us against the undefeated Cats at full strength, minus only Danger. We still have a few guys to come back. Arguably whatever the result, we might have more room for improvement, as far as playing personnel is concerned.

Maybe the term “ no good” could be changed to “ not good enough for AFL”.

Understand, but it doesn’t explain why he can’t be placed on LTI list and paid out as it is his last contract year. We are probably not playing him again, even if he was available. I assume that the club is happy to have the delisting at the end of the season and is simply not desperate to use the spot now for the mid season draft. We do have one pick for Gus spot and maybe that is all they want at this stage. Then again there is no guarantee we will even use that pick.

It would.

Not sure the umpires are chariot biased.

Appears that way.

The soft frees given to some players like Curnow, Rowell today and others annoys me, when Clarry and Tracc are held all game without any umpire reward. There is clear home team umpire reward for some clubs, with Adelaide the leading example, yet it doesn’t seem to apply at the G for us.

Well stay tuned.

As Smith’s case has still not been dealt with, which is a disgrace in itself given the scenario, I feel we should be able to put him on the LTI list or similar and agree to pay out this year his last and have another spot for the mid season draft, if we want to use it. It seems very unfair he can’t play, but has still not had his case dealt with.

Just made a great comment. Said how good it was for Weightman to come off unassisted. Problem is he has probably dislocated his elbow again.

Danger hammy.
