[ScrappyDo]

Hopefully the Hawks are coming undone tonight.

 

[Hayes4PM]

Any chance demons blow their side up end of the year and have a fire sale like Richmond? Fill up on a couple role players, wouldn't touch their high profile players.

Would be very keen on Trent Rivers, versatile and hard running, would compliment our side very well.

Just switched over to see Weddle getting paid a mark for dropping it, looks like the umpires are still sucking them off in Tassie.

These ducking frees are ruining the sport

Hoping the Lions can beat the Cats.
Not really lions if they can't.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Poor Cats, Nyuk nyuk nyuk nyuk

Umps need to just call play on

Macrae will fly past poocum next week he’s played an extra game

 

[Fehring]

Just watching Norf. Do we reckon Xerri and Marshall could have played in the same side? Just looked back and Norf wanted a future 2nd for him. We used our 2nd rounder the following year (2022) on Van Es (and took Otton a few picks later).

Don't think so TBH, we'd have shoved Ro up forward as he's a more competent forward by comparison and it's then unlikely we get to see his ruck craft blossom if we have Xerri who would then be core ruck. It'd be a bit like just having King and instead of Gardiner we ran with later years Kosi who just straight lined anything and didn't do much below the knees.

Have a sneaky feeling the Eagles might do ok in the derby this arv'. On another note, gotta be the first time in a while for one of these games where they're 17th and 18th?

First time neither team has had a win entering the match, I know that doesn't exactly answer your question

 

[StCicatriz]

How bad is the surface at optus

And welcome one and all to todays tribulation that is...

TRIBUNAL TUESDAY
​

With thanks to one contest from Rhyan Mansell and the tigers who will contest in 2 minutes live view here with thanks to Foxfooty reporter

David Zita

What will todays tomfoolery have in store for us? Will the Tiger trounce the tribunal? Will the hand of god make a reach around to fondle the truth into submission? Will anyone else come with alliterations of multiple T's so T.Thomas might make an appearance?

Join us as we explore the depths of people who don't have anything better to do.

 

[StFly]

And we're off and racing...

To no one's surprise the Tigers rejected claims it was not careless, rough, conduct, there and never existed.
They then did the expected and started waxing lyrical about Lalor getting poleaxed previously.

 

[StFly]

Tribunal pisstake #1;

The AFL says MRO Michael Christian's interview with Gerard Whateley on SEN is a reason why it's comfortable with the Ginbey / Lalor incident being allowed into evidence, which goes against usual regulations.

Let us allow other things even though we don't usually because why not go against normal convention when deciding the specific of things and if a previously decision was unjust manifestly or otherwise incorrect in nature....

"But but the pink elephant regrowing a tusk mandates you can poach them, Dumbo showed me when he was drunk and I was 12...."

 

[dudeintheswamp]

My guess is this will be the AFL's belated line in the sand and the three weeks will stand.

They'll do their best to appear as impartial as ever and decide on a coin flip per usual. Did like Mansells answer though, he didn't think it was forceful. Still mean you pushed him mate.

 

[StFly]

For those not playing at home with the link, Mansell under cross examination:

 

[StFly]

Update: Our man heard a whistle!

Only problem is, ball was still in flight at the time.

 

[StFly]

As an aside; I can't actually believe the people disputing some things on that platform. It's like make a statements that just says "you should be aware of your surroundings when attempting to open a door" and people getting angry with you for just making that statement as you were going to headbutt it.

Makes no sense. But I suppose you gotta fly the flag and rally I guess.
