I was once accused of being Yze Magic because I joined Demonland on the same day he was permanently suspended. I can assure you I am not him either.

ha Ha, purely co-incidence

If you are still around jayceebee31, it was a great prediction.

He’s too smart to take on the job. Being a professional talking head pays well with no accountability.

Many people have forgotten about the Bulldogs in 2014. The club was going psycho, sacked the coach, senior officials left and an exodus of senior players. Won the flag two years later.

There should be automatic financial penalties for players who wish to break contracts. A portion of their future club contract is returned to their previous club as compensation. They still will be well paid anyway so can’t moan about hardship.

As I said a few times in the past. For favoured players and clubs, I suspect errors in wording and structuring of the charge are deliberately introduced so later the charge can be dismissed on a technicality. The ‘wrong hand’ charge I have seen more than several times before.

His ACL derailed his career. Lost his pace and manoeuvrability.

8 games in the past two seasons makes him worth blunt steak knives at his age.

if the club don’t appeal it will be an egregious betrayal of Kozzie and all the players by the club. The incident was purely accidental. The charge should be dropped in its entirety.

He doesn’t miss the Sunday roast. He now can afford prime eye fillet and aged wagyu every day of the week. Losing him wasn’t the biggest problem. Failure to cover his loss even with a journeyman ruckman is. Was very ordinary today in a must win game.

Port pick up Soldo and Sweet. Two second string ruckman who could not get a game at their former clubs but know how to compete and use their size and strength. We bring in Schache and Fullerton, two lightweight softy’s who don’t know how or compete and can’t even get a game when Gawn is injured. How [censored] is that?

Brad Green kicked 55 goals in 2008, and Tmac 53 goals in 2018 were the last two players to kick over 50 goals in season aside from Fritsch. As you say, not hard to replace.

It does feel like we have been slowly salami sliced into irrelevance since 2021. Biggest worry is that we haven’t recruited anyone of note since then. Too many vanilla B graders. Windsor looks OK but he won’t fix out midfield problems. JVR is no Luke Jackson. We need a dedicated key forward and not a jack of all trades but master of none.

If he does get suspended the club should appeal.

I can never get my head around how we lost to WC. The most [censored] up game I ever witnessed.

The Bleak House Hotel in Albert Park sounds appropriate.

Greg Stafford did have some forward line ability. He did kick 141 goals in 205 games.

And money and time as well. Huge waste of resources and a distraction from the clubs mission in having to fight these egotistical legal challenges.

I remember his last season with us. He was mostly injured. His booming kicking disappeared. Then he had his amazing career change. I met him a couple of times when he played with us. I used to work with his girlfriend at the time. I believe she became his wife.

Grading Houston’s bump as careless instead of deliberate gives him the opportunity to challenge the verdict and potentially a get out of gaol card or a mechanism to lower the just penalty. Sometimes I wonder if imprecise wordings and structuring of charges are inserted deliberately so that they can be challenged later. I still believes the Cripps saga was set up to get him off.

Has premiership assistant coach on his resume. Came to us when we were a basket case. Best wishes.

Max deserves it.

Ouch!

Better chance of winning next weeks Powerball then for us making the 8 this season..
