Damn you..

Damn you..

Bookies have it virtually as a two horse race:
Cripps $2.75
Daicos $3.00
Neale $6.00
The Bont $10.00

Here’s hoping Ross Lyon does the right thing and sets a hard tag on Cripps tomorrow.

And they couldn't squeeze him into their best 23 last week

Is anyone watching First Crack on Fox Footy tonight? I swear, Kingy seems to be distracted by his HP laptop. What on earth is he watching?

I thought Melbourne took concussion very seriously after the outrage of Brayshaw incident?

Apparently their focus has shifted to lacerated spleens

You can only assume they’re asking for more than 3?

Rumour circling that Stevo is retiring from AFL footy with a year left on his contract

What a downfall his career has been the last few years.

Retiring before he gets delisted.

Lot of dough to walk away from.

Could North be making him an offer behind the scenes “How about we pay you out to retire this year?”

I’d imagine clubs would consider doing that for players who are considered toxic to their culture and too hard to reform?

I’d imagine that clubs would be unlikely to want to advertise that that’s what they’re doing.

Strange that Kangaroos didn't do that earlier with Tarryn Thomas - he makes Stephenson look like an angel?

(1) Thomas was younger, so they might reasonably believe there is a chance to reform, and that he has a longer football future to invest in.

(2) Maybe they learnt from Thomas and are doing things differently?

(3) We really have no idea what players get up to (Thomas’ stuff was in the public domain but I’d imagine that’s more the exception than the rule)

(4) Maybe North tried to but couldn’t get Thomas to agree to it? How would we know?

Given the nature of Thomas' transgressions, they needed to be seen to be doing the right thing.

There's only 12 months age difference between Thomas & Stephenson.

And completely different set of circumstances I would have thought, considering the vile & legal nature of Thomas' issues. North obviously thought they could assist in reforming Thomas when they insisted he do multiple behavioural change programs. Yet he still continued with his behaviour.

Perhaps Stepho's just finally realised he's lost interest in footy. That's how he's looked for a few years now anyway.

The week before the gambling debacle was exposed he was electric against St Kilda. Just about marking everything inside F50. Kicking barrels from 60. Incredible performance. I doubt he’s played anywhere near the level since. It ruined him mentally

I'm sure the Carlton Football Club & Harry are thrilled to be having this scenario played out in the media by Carlton supporting journo's on the eve of finals.
