Is it fair to say this was a 'sleight of hand' tactic Redleg? By the end of the hearing the focus seemed to have shifted onto Brayshaw's running path and not the main issue of Maynard's action that they were there for. Like Mark Fuhrman in the OJ case, they weren't there to decide whether he was a racist or not.

I see it as yes, there is a weight of expectation and we've had some serious curve balls thrown our way this year. It's something that might have crushed other sides but I'm very impressed with how we've managed to hold up. The events of this week could go either way for me, we could bind together or let the air go right out of the balloon. Either way would be understandable but I hope like hell our boys can do the former and stay focussed on the job as much as possible.

Eddie McGuire is what we thought he was.

Sounds like Kaepernick's agent has been in touch as you'd expect.

I'm trying bit it's incredibly hard to argue with this. Of course I'm all quality though 🙃

I think that's it. By all reports was toying with retirement before this season Achilles at 39? Big ask to keep going.

Let me guess, should have zigged instead of zagged? Righto.

And that's why people like you were here to remind me that this would have been a bad move. Seeing a lot of knee-jerk and hindsight talk about how this would have been the call to make after the fact. The sensible view is yours in my opinion.

Yeah I think my overall interest in the sport may dip a bit. Melb games will be as invested in as ever but sitting down to watch a random Fri night footy game or any other one in the weekend I may give a miss more often that not. Other things to do than sink 24/7 time into this organisation, I might even get more involved at local footy level.

Social media sucks, the village so and so has too much power.

I'd like the lawyers on DL to grade Woods' performance..

I just hope we don't come out completely flat on Friday as a result of this. The boys have had a rough trot this week and if they manage to get their heads in the game I would be extremely impressed.

1958: The Movie. Starring Mason Cox as Murray Weideman and Brayden Maynard as Hooker Harrison.

Couple more hours YOTD I promise.

Great post. I'm around the same mark and will continue my support while thumbing my nose at the AFL.

Yeah I mean it's cool to be different but I said last week how win or lose I didn't want to die wondering. Turns out we died wondering. It also turns out that wet weather means more stoppages and ruck contests, who'd a thunk it!

It's frustrating how some people are now saying we should have had Grundy in. Was a lone wolf even suggesting him as the sub.

Let's get this appeal happening

Sorry but it's been extended. New deadline: midday today.

"Police stand by, as looters take what they want."

Yes, that's it Gonzo. Always the bum steer, always getting the [censored] left over when it comes to fixturing, always getting outmuscled by these fat cats who think they run the place. Can you believe 3 of my nump Collingwood friends have said this is not only a good result for them but for the AFL? I've got a Carlton friend who said Brayshaw had a duty of care to himself knowing that his "next concussion could be his last" those words verbatim. This is the level of idiotness we're dealing with from the general public and now they've lapped up some crud that Gus would have kicked the ball in a safer way too. I've had it, don't feel too sorry for other clubs when it happens to them. They sure as well aren't sorry for us.

Any word from Rollo? I feel like sending him and his bandit bros to AFL house..

Any good ice picks from Bunnings you can recommend that I can jam in my own retina?

I'm getting a bit sick of people I know thinking that's all bunk and that they sign up for this stuff when they could be a plumber or electrician or postal worker.

My fish frying starts tomorrow. I've got 1 hour left of quality complaining time.
