Everyone dragging Wayne through the mud on this should be ashamed of themselves. Disability discrimination is a serious thing and nobody should have to go through what Wayne did.

Yep

They practically pushed someone in a wheelchair down a flight of stairs... just about.... not quite.... but just about.

Carey demands ‘thorough police investigation’ as dispute with Crown deepens

AFL commentator Wayne Carey is defiant as he fronts the media for the first time in his hometown of Wagga Wagga on Thursday night, telling reporters “nothing illegal has occurred here”.

I got thrown out of Revs a couple of months back for being quote "paralytic"

Should I retain a lawyer?

Banning him for carrying around his medication is an absolute disgrace

Yes, Saul Goodman would be right up your alley

Kinda surprised to see Brisbane drop both Robinson and Mathieson for a final at the MCG. I'd have thought one of those types would be handy in a game like this, a bit of mongrel, considering they've been pretty soft at the 'G for a while.

 

[phantom13]

The bit that I find confusing is didnt Wayne openly admit he understood being kicked out and admitted it wasn’t a good look? He’s certainly changed his tune.

As for his question about why the casino didn’t call the police.

Why would the casino in Perth exercise some discretion and quietly escort a former footballer believed to be holding recreational al drugs rather than calling the police …

"Discrimination" - he wouldn't have a clue what it means.

I think he means no longer getting special treatment because he's Wayne Carey.

Yep.

They did him a solid and now he'll use it against them, because he a narcissistic slime bag with no moral compass.

I completely agree with this.
I just find it staggering he’s stupid enough to not go “hmmm I reckon those comments I made when I said “completely understand it wasn’t a good look and I get why they booted me” might not help me now wanting to pursue them for damages”.

Actually I don’t find it staggering. He’s a moron.

Any goodwill his attempted redemption tour from SAS might have netted him is well and truly gone now.

They played Matho out of position last week and he was pretty ordinary after a great run before that. It looks like they are going safe over the intangible benefit blokes. Matho is one of those players who seems to get more contested possession than uncontested, he seems to have no interest in getting the ball unless it's a challenge. He didn't get any last week and when that's your POD you have to get them.

I'd have thought they might have used him to tag Oliver, he did a good job in that role on Steele for the first half a few weeks back.

In what’s likely to be a very fiesta and physical game it’s a very odd decision

Contested ball winners are gold in finals. Lyons even more of a weird one to me. Matho has always had to fight for a spot but Lyons is a stalwart of their midfield. Mitch Robinson is built for finals, I would have rolled the dice on him too.

Robinson can be a liability at times and in reality someone goes for Rayner who has genuine X factor, that’s the only one I’d defend.

Yeah can see it being a very physical contest. I think I definitely would want at least one of the three in, possibly even two. Wonder if they'll come to rue that decision...

Anyhow hopefully another cracking finals game, lookin' forward to it. Can't see the Dees losing to be honest, but stranger things have happened.

How's the weather in Melbourne today?

Rayner is the epitome of uneven too. Can do the sublime or the ridiculous.

Yeh but i think you have to bring him back if hes ready to go.

With rain forecast tonight I thought the lions may have taken a punt and gone a wee bit smaller with their Daniher replacement. But no no, Fullerton it is.

 

[phantom13]

I dont think they were winning with Daniher but now...

Even just structurally he demands someone pays him some attention.

Petty goes to Hipwood and May plays on Fullerton but also doesnt go within 20m of him most of the night just zoning off.

Yeah I'm Robinson's biggest fan but he was unsighted last week. Rayner is essentially Billings 2.0 imo but he has X factor and is a player of the future whilst Robbo will be gone next year, so can see why he was an automatic in.

Personally I would've included both and left out one of Wilmot, Robertson or Answerth
