Verrall may not be a number 1 ruckman, but I can see him as a key forward/backup ruckman. He will be a senior player for us. You heard it from me.

Welcome back.

I thought he went to Adelaide to be closer to family.

They are also into Alex Davies from Suns and I think Hobbs from Bombers.

Thanks Macca, very excited.

The Sudanese are very close and Mac must be really missing his family.

Thompson went back because Daniher wouldn't play him. The Wizard left and regretted it immediately and to this very day.

Absolutely not.

Yes it helps, but it doesn’t always work. If I was holding a football, you could rightly say, “he looks like an old, bald, unfit man holding a football.”

He just looks like a footballer.

Yes.

That is footy speak for “ no club could get the deal done”. Maybe it will be the same for CP5.

Well if CP stays, as he might, it would be a premature and incorrect title change. We have 7 weeks of this to go and we will see where it all ends up.

Is that a long length one?

Probably, though it did enter my mind.

I just brought up in my mouth.

Probably too late, the brown paper bags have struck.

Reid to 2026

Contracted to 2027.

I think we might assume Tomlinson will now be a Saint.

I have 4 comments here. First The Tribunal has found that it was reasonably foreseeable that Moore running towards the ball, would drop to the ground and that Kozzie should have known that and foreseen that as he ran in at speed and that therefore any bump at all could hit Moore in the head. That imo is errant rubbish. Second that The Tribunal allowed an amendment to the charge during the hearing, yet on other hearings refused to allow amendments, like for example Hewett, who was found to have struck a player to the head with his hand, but vision showing they had alleged the wrong hand, but clearly a strike with the other hand. Why was a proven strike simply not just amended to the correct hand. Instead they let him off. Third, how long did The Tribunal take to decide the case and write down the reasons. The findings are lengthy and written down as shown above. It takes time to weigh the evidence and decide on each issue and then more time to write it all down. I am bemused this could be done as quickly as appears, in the time spent on deliberations. Doesn’t sound like a lot of discussion on the issues. Lastly why does the AFL allow a Pies supporting person to chair a Tribunal dealing with Collingwood players?

You would have thought so. I am prepared to have a little wager with myself, that if the Pies were in an Elimination final the next week that maybe things might have been a little different. Moore jumped up and took his kick and stayed on the ground. Gus was knocked out cold and yet that wasn’t rough play but Kozzie’s is after a change in movement at the last second by Moore, give me a break.

I am nearly retired and the club should have plenty of Barristers to select from.
