The old adage or justice needing to appear to be done would have an institution claiming, even trumpeting integrity, to have an alternate MRO and Tribunal Chairman to consider cases involving the club that both of the existing officers are part of.
Like a bit dead..... bit pregnant .... kinda thing 😉

All 4 guys on the Couch, including ex Pie Buckley, agree it is always at least a week suspension.
Continues the favoured treatment of Collingwood which has the least penalties of any team in the AFL.
I’d say it was a joke, but it actually isn’t funny, it’s just disgraceful administration of a major national sporting organisation.
No explanation needed..
Fish and rotting.......

First half... well especially 1st qtr...
We were in poor positions and passed to poor positions...and did it... you guessed ...poorly .Handballs executed without real regard. The ideas of the kick passes maybe seemed good to the player but looking on just looked off. All like gears not meshing.
Some declutched and reselected during the second. Passages of play started to resemble good football.
3rd .. Gears and engine working in sync. Classically we started to get traction and start going somewhere
4th.... someone flipped the N20 switch !!
A lot of players started to play cohesively.
Funny ..in a way, the main difference between 1st and 4th was 1/2 a metre...and a split second. These differences changed how the players were in relation to each other and to opponents
Whatever was said at qtr time started the ball rolling . They reset at half time.

This might seem hyperbolic but after quarter time we actually had shades of our 2021 team.
Dare, well calculated risks, strong defense, composed under pressure... I even saw some of those shades in the Freo game, some passages that were just awesome to watch.
We had 56 points with 12 minutes left in the last. We ended with 100. We haven't seen something like that since the '21 Grand Final. Few teams have done that. Just absolutely blew them away. And EVERYONE standing up.
We are still going to cop it a few times this year. And that first quarter was pretty flat... but wow, our turnaround after quarter time was mesmerising. Even only kicking the one goal in the second, you could tell we were picking up the pace.
And well you might...
As we were succumbing to the Pups that day the lads were encouraged, ne emplored to play "footy" .. there's no next week to worry about, play to your strengths, your instincts. We won because we effectively ditched the playbook of the time.
FFWD >>>
King's ethos and edicts: Yes there's a few 🙄 different ideas about setups and plays etc but the underlying ethos is to go out and play to your strengths....and a bit of follow your gut. Trust the basics, trust your team-mates , .... trust yourself
( same as on that 2021 day 😉 )
and there might have been shades of bang Bang BANG out there yesterday 🤔

That Betsy article is someone's agenda.
Could not be more full of 💩 if it tried....and it did try hard 😉
It's a fabricated stance.

No its not.
It's dime a dozen engineering.
Why do you think it is ?

Thats right...the Bloods used them as dunny paper... and the Toiges nearly got them.
We got this
