I wonder if our appeal will consist of the defence "its just the vibe of it"

That is absolute BS in my opinion!The tribunal found that the bump was high so it was not a fair bump.
Maybe Dan did take ons for the team, however, I had trust in Port getting over Adelaide whether that happened or not. They started digging in prior to that and Rankine was not crows best regardless of what they keep saying. He's good but wasn't that night.I look at it like this, and you'll have to bare with me here.
Dans bump probably guaranteed us an opportunity to shape the final 8, he took 1 for not only the team but non Vic clubs in general.
But we need to accept he's out of our finals tilt and if at any time, play with our form this week, not in the Quali.
We have the advantage this week of playing last which gives us a chance to shape the 8.
We cant do it alone though, other non Vics have to lift, we need Schoey and the WC boys to keep a lid on Geelongs %.
Thats the kicker, but we'll have that result in hand
We also need GWS to get up, a dilemma for the AFL as it puts them above us into 2nd but exposes the Dogs to Freo whos destiny is then in our hands.
We'll have that result in hand too before we play.
If it unfolds like that, we get our revenge by cutting Vic finals representation to 3 and gift Freo their spot.
So if WC keep Geelong in check, GWS get up, we hand Freo 8th and we head to a quali against GWS over there.
Not easy but we can do it.
Brisbane take care of Freo and Blues Hawks knock the other out, Sydney send Cats to the semi.
If we beat GWS we get a home Prelim against Bris or Cats.
If we lose we go via the home semi against Blues or Hawks and a win sees us against the Swans over there for a GF spot.
I know, im crazy, but it could just work.
Opposite .. That is EXACTLY what the AFL are using to assassinate Houston! It's "the vibe" .. the look ... the optics. Hell, it wasnt nice seeing Rankine spasm, knowing his brain had just been injured.I wonder if our appeal will consist of the defence "its just the vibe of it"
It’s pickett it’s Maynard it’s the vibeI wonder if our appeal will consist of the defence "its just the vibe of it"
I agree, I just believe it made a certainty of it.Maybe Dan did take ons for the team, however, I had trust in Port getting over Adelaide whether that happened or not. They started digging in prior to that and Rankine was not crows best regardless of what they keep saying. He's good but wasn't that night.
However, Port shouldn't play Russian roulette. Focus 1 final at a time and win. 1st one at home against IMO the cats, win. Then preliminary I believe will be against Sydney, win and if I'm right it will or possibly could be GWS vs Port GF where it gets interesting
It's quite possible Port will face the cats in 1st final at home. That would be the better option in my book than GWS.I agree, I just believe it made a certainty of it.
If we get Geelong in the last game of the weekend and 2 Vic sides have already been sent packing, the umps will go in dry on us, nothing surer.
Id rather create an outnumber and avoid them at all costs if its on the table at 5pm Sunday than become the sacrificial goat.
Ladder predictor suggests cats by 90 jump us if we lose to Freo.It's quite possible Port will face the cats in 1st final at home. That would be the better option in my book than GWS.
If Giants lose to dogs and cats flog Eagles by 40 or more points they could jump ahead on percentage. Even if we lose to Freo though they won't have enough percentage to jump Port. Unless they beat Eagles by like 120 or more points I think.
I always look at it like if the roles were reversed and Fogarty did that to Evans/Houston/anyone we’d probably be all wanting 5 weeks
Exactly. Maynard effectively ended the career of a player. Seeing Bradshaw being carried off on a stretcher was not a good look. But hey let’s let him off because he is from Collingwood. Corrupt bunch of pricks.Opposite .. That is EXACTLY what the AFL are using to assassinate Houston! It's "the vibe" .. the look ... the optics. Hell, it wasnt nice seeing Rankine spasm, knowing his brain had just been injured.
So Houston has been tried, judged, and executed by media over the last few days based on "the vibe" .... Certainly NOT on any law!
We are going to miss Houston.
On his regular Tuesday night segment on SEN Sportsday Vic, with Healy and Kornes yesterday, Champion Data's Daniel Hoyne last night said;
Port is the #1 corridor team in the comp, how will Houston missing impact this? Houston is the 3rd highest rated player in the comp, by Champion Data's 100 x rating system, off being the 3rd highest rating in the comp last year.
He is the #1 kick, has the #1 kick rating in the comp. When he goes short he is the 3rd best short kick in the comp. When he goes long he is the 4th best long kick in the comp. Exiting D50 he is the 2nd best kick in the comp. So how do you replace him??
They talk about Burton. Kane used the analogy - when you want the Jatz cracker at the super market but get the Ritz instead. Ritz is softer than the Jatz and isn't as good - its the poor man's Jatz. Ryan Burton is the Ritz version of the Jatz.
Kane said "Burton at his best is very good. Burton at his worst is horrible. So what Ryan Burton are you going to get? Who knows."
I have tried to embed this sort it starts at the Port talk at 24:06. If I haven't succeeded start there.
How does an appeal work when our own Chairman admitted Houston's liability in his interview this morning?
That is absolute BS in my opinion!
So he has an AC-joint injury, but the hit to his shoulder could easily do that
I don't think he's leaving for love, I genuinely believe it's the 5AA effect.
How many players from crows and port have left after being forced to endure a weekly radio grilling from tweedle dee and tweedle dumb , it would be an interesting count.
Nah, Ollie Wines still remains!All of them I think.
