  2. no, it was move hudson to chf
  3. ok, right. i got flummoxed by reference to our leader
  4. sorry for my ignorance but who is ej ej whitten? oj's brother?
  5. yes, mcguire just confirmed that he is mcguire
  6. they'll have to define a sub-conscious decision as equal to a conscious decision dunno how they'll manage that
  7. i still don't understand how the umpire who reported him on the day was excluded from appearing does reporting maynard him make him biased witness or something? the tribunal despite all its lawyers however seems very distant from a real court of law i guess it's just a version of drive-in fast mc-law
  8. just an interesting aside --- maynard was found not guilty because his action was instinctive and not conscious because of the small time interval. so sub-conscious not conscious and therefore accidental not careless. now if we take van rooyen's case. no-one was claiming it was intentional, so it was either conscious or sub-conscious. now it all happened in sub-second time and his opponent was changing direction. so how could it have been conscious? this is all so very confusing. of course, i'm not say van rooyen should not have been suspended but on the maynard logic could it not be argued as accidental.
  9. apart from missing the appeal deadline, has the afl actually made any comment at all re last might's decision? or is it just going to ignore the elepant in the room and retreat to the quiet corner? just heard on radio. afl has declared it will not make an appeal and will make a statement later in the day so we wait for a lot of weasel words prepared by their pr dept. will be nothing to see here.
  10. i suspect they weren't trying too hard, macca
  11. i actually thought, being collingwood, it was more likely to be legitimate 🤣
  12. if he gets off all the kids will be out this weekend practicing a "maynard"
  13. in the appeal, the afl will have to get their own paid biomechanist to tear theirs to pieces they have shown their hand to early
  14. biochemist has obviously never seen a frisbee ffs
  15. i know the live blog is not showing every word ... but the afl counsel is coming across as very timid
  16. Maynard: I just sort of flinched and tensed up. I thought, 'Aww [censored] i'm going to miss him, damn.'
  17. so, what do we know about woods and ihle? @redleg
  18. to be pedantic, they use the term careless, rather than reckless
  19. if dangermouse is still their spokesperson (whatever) they will stay quiet. he has already come out and said it was accidental (footy action), nothing to see here. why an aflpa spokesperson would make a statement like that before a hearing is very poor judgement
  20. he wasn't knocked out by a smother ffs he was knocked out by a bump, you know, what the afl has come down on. duh. you're a moron, brown
  21. yeah chook, good idea to keep away from earth and other people's brains stick with demonland
  22. in the hun this morning robbo defined it as a "pure" footy action, yes, pure! the guy is a compromised imbecile ... as if we didn't always know that how someone like him can be the chief football writer at the paper always amazes me
  23. yeah, but only from the thugs
  24. depends on what outcome the afl really want. that might decide who they chose to hire for the job. yeah, i don't trust the afl who are more interested in optics
  25. yes, it got explained on fc tonight in so much detail it couldn't have been guesswork gill, dill, and laura forced it, though whether their motives were pure or just optics was unclear what a hopeless, compromised lot.
