Preview R2 v Crows - Showdown XLVIII

[Chizza12]

LOL. Nope - he broke the rules. End of story.

And let's face it. The way this happened, the TV station and reporter involved, and the lack of consistency from the AFL in applying the rules gives us, the supporters, the extra motivation we all need to get excited about this game in difficult circumstances.

Bring it on.

100% agree, Ollie deserves it for the sheer stupidity of it. The sanctions will keep increasing now for every breach so if the club isn't on top of it they deserve everything they get.

Anyone been notified about the ballot yet?

again, Gillon at the forefront.

#sackgillon get it trending everywhere.

You mean The Murderer. Roy Slaven got it right on 23rd May.

"This bloke, he operates in plain sight.
The Murderer gets away by acting criminally in plain sight,
and people just look away. People don't know where to look.
This is happening all over the world at the moment."

He did know the rules. But the rules are ******* dumb.

Ollie Wines is a 26 year old adult. He is a professional athlete earning more in a year than I will ever see in my lifetime.

He is also a former co-captain of our club and a senior player.

He has a responsibility to the club, his team mates and supporters to know the rules and follow them, regardless of how 'dumb' they might be.

He didn't.

It really is that simple.

Sign up to Kayo, do not watch this game on FTA, hit them where it hurts the most, through the TV ratings!!

You won't get any argument from me that Ollie Wines is an idiot. That doesn't make the suspension justified.

Since the cat is now getting let out of the bag...

My old man got a call from TJ and Ken at around midday today to let him know all 4 of us were gonna be going Saturday night. Had 7 News around tonight for a quick interview, and Tiser is doing a photo shoot in the morning. Pumped!

Bugger missed out. This will be the first showdown and home game I've missed.

Yep - emails to the unlucky many have been sent out. I missed out as well.

Just waiting on my Dad's reply now

 

[GoPorts]

I'm hoping everyone who entered the ballot let's us know if they got a ticket or not.
Literally on the edge of my seat for the next 24 pages of this thread

 

[Greasyrhys]

It was pretty obvious they were gonna come down harder after the Adelaide thing though we know what they are like but honestly our idiot had to walk into it! he almost deserves a club imposed ban on top of it for being the worlds biggest moron.

Imagine being a club1870 member since it’s inception in 2013, paying 2-3 times more than the average member and missing out!
To me, the 300ish 1870 members (those that pledged 100%) should have been guaranteed a ticket to this game.

Unsuccessful
