Should've just gone to criminal court, prob would've got 50 hours community service...Shannon Grant has plead guilty to bashing his girlfriend 3 times and is out on bail.  :o

So so sad tbh.

For the record I do think Gaffy has played his final game for the club - would absolutely love to be wrong. Whoever Gleeson is, he's a flog but there was one thing he said during the hearing that was spot on. "Good people can do bad things but it doesn't make them bad people." This is the exact case here and Gaff through largely shower-luck imo is getting his punishment.

Shannon Grant is not on bail he had his jail conviction overturned he won't spend a day in jail ... piss weak justice system , as for Gaff only fools would think he was a bad person he made a split second decision that went horribly wrong and has copped his whack it's over now time to move on.

Should bring out the brazen bull tbh

Yeah I was watching the tribunal rundown and some of the things Gleeson was saying were very floggish.  Basically telling Gaff he's lying because he said stomach instead of chest?!?  The guy was in a high pressure situation that he's never been in, and rarely speaks in public.  Give me a break you high and mighty tosser!  Apparently Simmo has an upcoming talk/presentation with Gleeson.

It really "Grinds my gears" reading those transcripts as to what Gleeson is saying (not just the Gaff case, others previously as well). Typical lawyer really, and has no feel for what players go through on the ground.

Reason why lawyers should not be involved in hearings as they laack the necessary understanding of what players go through during the course of a game.  What is wrong with a simple hearing of both sides. umpires if they observed and victim and then make decision rather than having all these legal people earning extra money to ridicule players as part of of argumemnts.
Whilst I agree with the Gaff penalty some of Gleesons statement are bordering on the ridiculous.

This also covers most of the ppl coming out of the wood work to voice their opinions.

Yep nothing more annoying than seeing this “I don’t follow or watch the AFL but”
If you don’t follow or watch then shut the flower up

[SilverLion]

Deja Vu?

[jvalles69]

Deja Vu?

I saw a meme that said when you can't be bothered and you copy and paste the end of an old essay with a pic of the Eagles celebrating!  ;D

Flying Ryan really fired us up there at the end!  I would say we didn't deserve that win, but Port had one of the worst meltdown's I've ever seen at the end of a game.  Who's Ken going to blame this week?

[elephants]

Who's Ken going to blame this week?

Injuries I suspect. Houston, Dixon and Ryder all down, pretty large injuries structurally so probably a fair whinge!

Celebrated that win like it was a GF hahaa

Always an excuse for the Pear, goal posts moving, players being soft... :P

[RaisyDaisy]

Yeah there's no doubt we only really won and got back into it in the last because they lost 3 important players

But I don't care, I'll take it!

Shouldn't have even gone down to the wire like that - we should have been 3 goals up by that time anyway considering the last qtr was spent in our forward half and we just kept butchering it

Very lucky, but now it's time to crush the Dees dreams again  ;D
