Rory is a lovely bloke, dead set.

My mother taught me not to say anything if I couldn't say anything nice, so there is that!

If you ignore the way he gaslit his team mates after the camp fallout.

 

[davesnothere]

Good player and seemingly decent guy.
The nob : not nob ratio at that club just increased dramatically

Happened to meet him a few times.
Genuinely good person who Port should poach for an off field role somewhere.

sliding doors moment with sloane

we were even mocked to him on the 2008 Burgatron phantom draft

42 – PORT ADELAIDE – RORY SLOANE
Eastern Ranges, VIC, Medium defender, March 17, 1990, 181.9cm, 77.8kg
(Draft range: 22-54)

Sloane has attracted plenty of interest and could realistically be a top 30 selection. North Melbourne (27) and Adelaide (28) are the two most likely, and don't dismiss Port Adelaide with No.22. He is unlikely to fall past the Power at this selection, North Melbourne (No.43) or Adelaide (No.44).

We spoke to him more than any other player that year and he thought he was coming to us.

Think we chose Mitch Banner instead

His bottom arm dragged Alliir down

If Higgins drives him forward rather than back with that arm I reckon he has a case

Higgins should now get more weeks seeing the saints are challenging. If the AFL is serious, you knock a player out you get 3+ weeks.

Clarko was brought in to collect $1.whatever million….

Not actually sure he is “coaching”.

What’s this then?

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

What’s this then?

He coninually used the BS that the Collective Mind guys told everyone to say, that the camp made him a better player, a better man, a better leader, a better husband etc.

He didnt directly gaslight his teammates who were troubled by the camp, but continually saying the Collective Mind propaganda, he effectively was gaslighting them.

The fatal flaw in the argument is that there is absolutely no need for Higgins to take Aliir to ground. It is never necessary for the tackler to take the ball carrier to ground. It might be a more effective way to tackle but it's never necessary. For mine, once you drag a player to ground, you bear ultimate responsibility for what happens to that player.

The presidents are making sense, for ****s sake we don't need an additional team. We need less teams in Victoria as the first port of call and if that means killing one for Tasmania, i'm all for it.

Whilst I agree with you we saw an example of what can happen when you tackle the way that the afl expect you to in the Geelong Carlton game. Kolodjasni wrapped up cottril in the goal square in a hug like tackle and instead of it being a ball up he managed to get a kick away for a goal. If he had brought him to ground or swung him around at all it wouldn’t have been a goal in a crucial part of the match. Players are damned if they do and damned if they don’t.

The flipside to this is less Vic teams sharing more returning players from developing clubs.

Can’t remember all of it but despite teammates saying it went too far rory said the message from the camp made him a better husband & father.

 

[JimmyBC]

Rory comes across as the most boring human alive in interviews I wouldn't be surprised if he was just easily shaped playdough for Collective Minds.

If Higgins tried that type of tackle in the NRL he'd be on report and sent to the bin.

What a perfect photo to use lol

That system’s been superseded.

The risk now is losing $10,000 if your appeal is unsuccessful (which also counts against the soft-cap).

The player also cops the original sanction.

Higgins isn’t appealing. He decided not to accept the MRO’s offer and is contesting the charge at the tribunal.

I’m pretty sure the payment is only if they appeal the tribunal decision and it isn’t upheld.

A player that is sent directly to the tribunal doesn’t pay $10k for the privilege.

 

[ElectricG]

Just kill off Tasmania lol. Bloody stupid idea
