and another thing ... why was the delayed concussion leading to the high impact aspect not even questioned? where was the proof it was related to this incident, surely it is open to questioning?

anderson flops again ... why do we keep going back to the same empty well next stop the appeals board

you need to factor in the side deals that some clubs can "engineer"

pity david zita is such a smartrs. if it so bores him get someone else

over 3 hours now hope it's a good sign i still don't think it was a bump ... just an inevitable collision

it seems the longer this saga goes on the more everybody's brand is going down the toilet tracc's advisors have certainly adopted a strange strategy to date it's going to be a lot more than just bridges burnt ... more like carpet bombing

the afl world though isn't a fair world

plus, i'm not sure the ferals will draw large crowds for quite a few years

already is. did you watch 60 minutes?

as good as his highlights might be, i don't want someone who only occasionally turns up to play and couldn't hit the side of a barn. we already have enough of that type of forward

sure, they may be leaking but not making public statements or opening up to recorded discussion don't seem to be managing it well so far, just creating chaos

ox sounds as emotionally wound up as christian

gerard joined the click-club quite a while ago

ummmm, spleen is just a bit different to a kidney. besides people have 2 kidneys

yeah plus can't kick straight plus overweight

no his only option is to break his contract (and lose payments). then sit it out for a year then go into the draft (2025) can't see that option being attractive

yep, brandus interruptus

macca, i don't see why petracca can't make a full recovery. i've mentioned it before but my brother had a very similar incident. his spleen was so bad they removed it entirely. he also played out the game only collapsing when he got home. dr said he was 30m from dying. anyway he missed the rest of the season, but then went on to play a further 5 years at state level footy. now all that was about 50 years ago and i'm damn sure medicine has improved since then

there are other explanations than the club leaked in the examples you gave. those being petracca (or management ... same thing) and players talking to press (eg loyd's and age's public comments) whether club or others or both i have no idea, but i can't see it in the club's interests at this stage.

given tom morris was the reporter on ch9 i suppose he will repeat it on footy classified tonight at about 10pm

forgot who but just a reference to ch7 news, then a post by me as reference to similar stuff on ch9 news. and a response to the ch7 news by someone. none of it speculative i didn't think. just pointing out stuff on the public record by news stations.

that explains why this thread disappeared for 10 minutes i didn't see anything that broke demonland rules

and tom morris doubled down on ch9 news saying petracca had again asked the club to go elsewhere

let's just hope they don't put up the usual half baked appeal and let's get a top professional friendly biomechanics expert
