Pickett apparently not at training this morning...

Richmond presser sometime today to discuss his immediate playing future.

 

[SteeleSaints]

Any training watchers this week - like to do a report?

 

[Feerits Elf]

Pickett apparently not at training this morning...

How peculiar. His mobile phone ping puts him at that location.

 

[Dard Ball Get]

Whether Marlion Pickpocket plays is neither here nor there imo

Would be an absolute steal if he didn't play

In: S. Banks, T. Sonsie

Out: T. Young (rested), M. Pickett (arrested)

 

[Plugger35]

Pickett ruled out of this match is handy for us but I would have preferred it to have been Taranto or Bolton.

They still have time to steal some sh*t.

Butler telling them to get stuffed.

 

[Munga]

Flynn (AFL): You did not let Blakey's arms go with enough time for him to sufficiently brace himself. Do you agree?

Butler: No.

Flynn (AFL): The force you used was excessive force. Do you agree?

Butler: No.

Suggestive questioning by the AFL reeks of unfair trial.

 

[DougalHoward]

They're going with potential to cause injury again

 

[George]

Rush (Saints): Did you have any option not to tackle?

Butler: No. I'd get dropped.

 

[Munga]

This is the biggest load of bullshit by the AFL, complete morons. They can't be serious with this nonsense...

Flynn (AFL) says this tackle "falls far below what a reasonable player would consider as prudent in all of the circumstances."

Flynn (AFL) says Butler could've released Blakey after he dropped the ball or not driven Blakey into the ground with the force that he did.

Flynn (AFL): Even though there wasn't any injury suffered, there was a potential to cause a concussion or neck injury given the force that was used.

 

[Munga]

Rush: To release the arm was quite a remarkable performance and applying the education that is received in relation to making this sort of tackle.

 

[Saint Kidding]

Is there a special "potential to cause injury" rule just for St Kilda?

 

[Saintbloke]

This is the biggest load of bullshit by the AFL, complete morons. They can't be serious with this nonsense...

You summed it up nicely.

Assume training is tomorrow? If someone can confirm I’ll head down & type a few pearls of wisdom!!!

They are, both morons and serious about this.

There's a narrative with them which is why there's have and have nots and rather heavy bias' involved in AFL instances, they know full well that if they push this with us, previously anyway, we had jack shit in the backroom to contest it, which is why Finnis and co were such a godsend to us to straighten us up.

But context wise, you had a bloke at a have club, he had previous indiscretions of beating your missus in full view of peers, threatening her life in a car after beating her, and squashed assault allegations on other women. The very moment that player moved to a have not, tried the same things and got told to GTFO, there was the AFL to say "pay that man his contract" as if the decade prior meant nothing.

In the decade since, more multiple assault allegations and court appearances, proving how right we were and how ballless and inept the AFL and by association the Bombers were and are. As that player was obviously Andy Lovett, beacon of boy can play and "play" to his hearts content in AFL land because they have no scruples and it took the shit club to be the moral authority so everyone else can EAD.

So since the Summers reign with him and Finnis to right ship, we;ve simply been pushing back on the AFL and calling their bullshit more and more in such things like this. It's why I was reading all tribunal things regardless just to see how many clubs actually called their rep for obvious bias, leading questions, trying to paint murder on the dance floor with how player A needed to contort 47 ways in 1.7 seconds like a normal person...
