Jaded No More

It happened

Jordan is gone

It’s a 6 part special with how long this has gone on. Episode 1: The Stretcher Episode 2: MRO’s day out Episode 3: Tribunal Tribulations Episode 4: OUTRAGE Episode 5: The Appeal Episode 6: JVR on winning the Coleman

Ok Melbourne is back up on the stand This is juicier than an episode of Judge Judy after school

That’s the dude doing the live reporting from the hearing. Not the actual lawyers.

Surely we get a right of reply to this lying sack of [censored] making up rules and concocting imaginary injuries.

Except nowhere in the law does it say that you have a duty of care when going to contest the ball. Where is that specific law?

The AFL is arguing that JVR injured Ballard. Since when does free to play next week = injured?

Why did we accept on Tuesday night that contact was not accidental?! Wtf!!

The AFL’s position is just that, a position. We have rules and laws. You can’t just change your position on a written law to suit your current agenda! We are either following the law or we aren’t. Also Ballard was unharmed so who says this spoil was careless?

Is the AFL arguing that their rules are wrong? What a [censored] show

This new lawyer is good. I’m thinking his arguments can’t really be disputed.

Can we play the race card? This is clearly a play to get the Dutch. No non- Dutch players got suspended this week.

We should just go in there and tell them they’re wrong and stupid

We are trying to bamboozle them with lawyer talk 😂

I would like to see the final figures across the league. Would not be surprised to see a drop off. With the insane cost of living, I imagine many people put footy memberships low on their list of money spending priorities. If you can't pay your mortgage or your rent, are you really spending a few hundred bucks on a footy membership?

Hot tip. Don't cut it off, untie it. The pom pom would be actually looped on as both the pom pom and beanie are a fully fashion knit, hence no stitching is used. If you cut it, you will inevitably cut the knit itself which will unravel the whole thing. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Do we know who is on the appeals board tonight?

Casboult was a poor matchup for him. Same as Rosas was a poor match for Bowey.

Always was and always will be my all time favourite Demon. Love Robbo!

Rioli’s incident was downgraded for high impact to medium. Ridley was concussed. Ballard free to play this week. So let me understand this, concussion is now medium impact. A possible injury that didn’t happen is now high impact What. The. Actual. [censored].

Rioli got two week 🫠

No matter what happens tomorrow I am very proud of the way we’ve handled this as a club, not just for baby Roo but for the whole competition. As always we do all the bloody hard work so everyone else can benefit…. Made the game, now we are saving it from itself.

A nobody player who plays for a nothing club. Call me when someone I care about doesn’t back in JVR. By the way, his own club clearly disagrees with his opinion since they gave evidence to say Ballard was not hurt and cleared to play this week. They didn’t need to do that if they thought the action was malicious. Could have said he was hurt and then made a miraculous recovery. Aka what Adelaide did with Dangerfield in the Trengove case.

It’s not ideal but it’s also a good builder of resilience. Sometimes your preparation is compromised and you need to adapt. JVR strikes me as a very strong minded kid. He will be ok.
