Re: Round 3: Ess vs St Kilda

Well, if Weideman cannot crack the team with Wright missing, he may as welll climb into the skip bin right now.

Not even an emergency.

Re: Injury list 2024

Had a giggle in the car just before when they were talking about this. Can’t remember who it was that said “well, there is this thing of doctor / patient confidentiality, that’s why they don’t inform on their medical condition / information” etc Yet… they invent an ‘injury’ and inform everyone that ...

Just need to look at our injury threads to find the same players with the same repeated injuries for the past 5+ years. Quite a few!

Re: Injury list 2024 pre season.

Is “hamstring awareness” code for “cocaine in system awareness”? How about Selection Ommissions due to General Soreness?So the AFL Clubs in the west were doing us a favour,before the Alignment days kicked back in? :twisted: You gotta wonder with some of the crap that’s attributed to a player’s abse...

Re: The Club is a Toilet

The counter argument, deemed a waste of breathe by the tribunal. . St Kilda great Leigh Montagna was opposed to a harsh sanction for the key-position goalkicker, citing his opinion that contact between Wright and Cunningham was “inevitable”. “I think (four weeks is) too harsh for a player I saw ins...

Re: The Club is a Toilet

It has been moving towards the outcome, rather than the action, determining the penalty for a few years now. Cunningham was knocked out, stretchered off and immediately subbed out. So Tribunal and big penalty. I’ll ask again… what if Wright collided with Gresham and the same outcome occurred. Would...

Re: The Club is a Toilet

4 weeks was too heavy. But that's what the AFL asked, 2-3 would have been about right. What's the point of pleading guilty if you don't get a sentence reduction? Should have been zero weeks, plain and simple. If Wright was “careless” in his approach, then Cunningham was also. The blame can’t be all...

Re: The Club is a Toilet

From the moment it happened, the footy commentary had Wright guilty and suspended. IT became THE story of the weekend, in an otherwise quiet round. They all became biomechanics experts, "turned his shoulders", "feet off the ground"...everyone has their feet off the ground in an ...

The Club is a Toilet

This club keeps on producing shit. Why the f*** would Peter Wright plead GUILTY to his charge? Did the club advise him??? If that’s the case, the club can GAGF for being a completely weak, shit of a joint. All I know is, if this were Collingwood, they would go into today with all guns blazing trying...

Re: 2024 Round 2, EFC vs Syd-in-eeeee

Neither Maynard or Wright should be suspended.

Any reasoning to suggest otherwise is pure poppycock IMO

Wright direct to the tribunal. :-k [-o< :( He will be the test case for the new rule... as well as a warning to everyone else. Even though it was a split second decision to protect himself rather than make an unrealistic attempt to mark. Simple questions… Why hasn’t Wright got the right to run and ...

Re: Round 3: Ess vs St Kilda

Ins: Parish, Redman, Caddy, Kelly Outs: Wright (susp), Hind, Menzie, Davey Hobbs for the subs vest. Though he didn't set the world on fire on the SCG. Menzie had a shocker in Sydney... 6 possessions at 16% accuracy Totally agree. I hope they don’t select Weideman. He was bloody woeful in the VFL.

Re: 2024 Round 2, EFC vs Syd-in-eeeee

We simply can’t afford losing key players in our arcs. We have quite a number that can be replaced in the middle, but key players up forward and back are our Achilles heel. And Wright will likely be gone for a spell. :( R3 and we will be without Ridley, Reid, Wright for extended periods. Yep, the s...
