Dermie’s minute analysis of even the simplest things is tedious and annoying. It seems as though he does it to show his fellow panellists that he is the footy genius.

No I don’t, so we should get the appeal ready, where you run a very legal argument, not a common sense, factual one.

It’s about circumstances beyond your control. One second before impact Moore is standing up straight. He didn’t bend down exposing his head, he actually dropped his knees, putting his head much lower and in line for contact. Kozzie is coming at pace and in one second has to avoid a head that wasn’t there as he ran in. Kozzie is also looking down at the ball at the moment of impact and trying to kick it. The dropping by Moore is a circumstance outside Kozzie’s control and that is what he pleads at the tribunal. There is no head contact if Moore doesn’t drop. Also Moore jumped straight up and took his kick and played on. He was subbed off later at half time. How do we know conclusively what caused the concussion, which is the reason for the suspension?

I have a feeling that it wasn’t Christian, but rather Laura Kane who has decided this and then the Tribunal can deal with a challenge. I think the word concussion, no matter how caused, dictates her thinking, in view of current litigation.

I don’t.

In the slow mo freeze frame before the hit Moore is standing up and any bump if there was one would be be to Moore’s waist. When Moore drops in the last second Kozzie’s feet are moved and he falls hitting Moore with his arm. Moore caused this but we know what will happen.

Agree with that and the challenge for the FD is to get him to improve in the other areas. Trade him and you won’t get value and will lose goals. He needs to improve his defensive game, tackling, pressure and field disposal. That can be done. There is more to gain by improving his game, than trading him for under value. Last night like in some other games he turned it over nearly every possession and his pressure was actually non existent.

4 blokes with 1200 games on fox footy panel say Moore caused it by dropping at last second and Kozzie shouldn’t get suspended.. We have Christian who said Maynard did nothing wrong. Its the AFL. I expect Kozzie to get a life ban and maybe more.

Well the absolute first thing is don’t turn the ball over.

Sick.

That is far from a good trade if true, as we got an injured player who struggles to get fit and might end up hardly playing for us at all.

They will leave it as they have us over a barrel and it isn’t a fair deal anyway. I fear we may get screwed in trading ANB, as they know we are committed to helping ANB get home and doing the right thing by him and his family. If it was Dodoro, he would offer pick 185. Hopefully the Crows will act fairly.

He sounds a bit flaky but has talent. He has pulled out of a few contests, which Goody is not a real fan of. How about ANB and McAdam? Seriously, he is on a big contract and I wonder how that would play out.

I would go with Kyah and try for 10kgs.

He plays for Port.

He can, but he will be 32 in October, just saying.

The Police are actually investigating this. What a joke.

That’s great. Tell him he has a fan on here who believes in him.

Did you see my post on KFW?

This is a beauty. Port feral berating Crows players as they left the ground, had his cap flicked off by Matt Crouch and then reported him to the police. Police are investigating. Can you believe that? Hopefully while investigating they discover some outstanding warrants against the feral.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Houston is a Dee next year.

Looks like your Port fan is wrong, Port challenged the suspension.

Terrible news. So sad for his family, friends and colleagues. RIP Sam.

They are a lovely bunch of human beings. Wanted to boot Hinkley a few weeks ago and now love him again. When I think of ferals I think of them.

Maybe a tattoo headline “Max After Inking” or a more wide ranging one in “ Max Gawn Could”. Imagine the ongoing debate over whether he could or he couldn’t. Then some other genius could start a story over whether he might or he mightn’t.
