It should say Sept 11th btw not Sept 1st I assume one ticket per member allocation again. Just FYI Friday night, which I presume is when we play, is Jewish new year. Carlton have a big legion of Jewish supporters who aren’t going to come now because of the scheduling. More tickets for those of us who think religion is for fools 😂 And I get to avoid annoying family dinners so even if we lose that’s a win for me! -
Not his fault he had to play a full game. It was obviously not the plan. He is just too inexperienced for mine. Turner didn’t play for the same reason. Poor Bill shouldn’t have either. Would have been fine for a quarter in the last but a full game was too much. Again tho, it wasn’t the plan for Maynard to knock Gus out in the first few minutes. Well it was his plan, not ours 🙄

A woman doing things outside of the kitchen. How dare she! Footy is a men’s game. Man good. Woman bad.

They need a completely independent and impartial panel. Perhaps an ex umpire? It just needs to be overhauled.

I wonder if there is truth to the whispers that Gus may not play again, if Laura intervened for fear of additional litigation against the AFL. Brayshaw and Frawley are powerful footy names and given Anita is currently in active litigation with the AFL, this can’t be good for their case. If Maynard is allowed to play because his is deemed a reasonable action, and Gus has to retire as a result of repeated head injuries, it only further weakens the position of the AFL in their ongoing legal battles. Gus did not put himself in a situation where brutal force could have been expected such as throw himself into a pack or run backwards for a mark. He was running with the ball in open space trying to kick it away. He has every right to expect to walk away from that without a severe head injury. Whether you think what Maynard did was intentional or just a footy action gone wrong, there is no doubt the consequences of his action could well be catastrophic. The AFL cannot just simply turn a blind eye or succumb to the pressure of the feral Magpie Army. There are far bigger chess pieces in play here.

Concussion protocols and tribunal rulings do not apply to Carlton. Pass jail and collect $100.

Read the room. Nobody likes Melbourne. Sydney are brave. Maynard is a hero. Carlton will win the flag.

I could not have been more vocal about my rage towards this pathetic system. It is a literal piece of garbage someone is filming on their handycam they purchased from Ted’s in 1987 to make a porno. A pre schooler with $30 can go to JB Hifi and do better. I just like the full circle irony of life. And football.
I’d almost be upset if it didn’t happen to Sydney who deserved to lose on a flawed goal review system.
Hopefully we learnt this yesterday!
The Nokia 3310 says yes?
VCR working over time
It would be ironic if they lose on a dodgy score review
Bowey is a gun. Laurie is maybe well not
They’re like Collingwood supporters but their jobs allow them to dabble in slightly higher quality drugs.
Can I pre order the dvd?
Not win. Let’s not go that far. Make it and lose by 1 point because they missed Maynard. To Melbourne. SUCK IT!
Firstly I wasn’t referring to you. It may have started as a footy action but it resulted in a horrible injury, which as you say should carry consequences. Secondly I haven’t seen anyone suggests what Gus suffers from. All I’ve ever said is that Gus’ fiancé buried her dad due to head injuries and her mother is suing the AFL. Both of which are on record. And you are right, anxiety and depression and a whole host of other mental health issues are more often than not totally unrelated to head trauma, and many people live with those awful conditions but have never copped so much as a ball to the head in a game of backyard cricket. But it has been proven that repeated head trauma can lead to both of those things sadly. Shane Tuck and Spud Frawley are the saddest examples of this.
