2017 Grand Final. Adelaide vs ..........Richmond (yes really)

You know how it would end too…the next year Essendon finally come good and make the GF :slight_smile:

Yeah fair enough. I certainly never play roulette with my MCC.

I heard that was what they were planning. My mate could not work out why Hird was doing it until I told him he was next in line and it is tradition.

Maybe there will not be any richmond fans at the ground by 3/4 time?

If they get smashed, they’ll definitely boo, the ■■■■■■

I fully expect Cotchin to get off free just cause, but surely Ellis goes for that hit?

Shiel had his head over the ball which is by far the most dangerous position you can put yourself in, in footy. He got hit in the head and didnt play after halftime.

Ellis chose to bump and hit him clearly in the face.

I can honestly see them letting cotchin off but giving ellis a week just to say " look we punished one richmond guy"

If the MRP were legit they would suspend both of them. They constantly say you cant bump guys in the head- welll they did so they should be suspended

But thats enough of my fantasy post.

Free kick richmond

Cotchin will get a week, Richmond will take it to the supreme court and get an injunction, Cotchin will play in the GF.

The blueprint has been set for some time.

Cotchin call will be 50-50. If anything helps him, it will be the fact that the GWS doctors allowed Shiel to play the rest of the quarter. He probably suffered more knocks which resulted in the concussion.

If he’s fined, its a huge loss. He’s changed his game this year and has stopped getting the cheap touches and gets a lot more contested footy. He was great yesterday. He’s probably had a better year than 2012 and has become the type of captain we need Heppell to be IMO.

Yes, with thanks to Andrew Dunkley’s cheap shot on Hirdy in '96.

Huh? The Court will not grant an injunction unless something truly weird happens — the basis of that decision was solely the lack of any appeal option.

Interesting. What about the Barry Hall one? Same deal?

Iirc the hall one swung at the tribunal on how the ratings came out based on whether the hit was in play or behind play. They convinced the tribunal it was in play and got it downgraded to a fine. If it wasn’t in play he was gone

Lol.

He flat out belted Goose Maguire in the guts, with force.

I thought that one went to court too. Fair enough.

I didn’t say it wasn’t a farce

Where’s the poll on who we want to win?

For the record, definitely Adelaide.

Fortunate enough to get a golden ticket. Already been offered $2k for it…

Consenting adults are free to do as they please but you should really keep that to yourself.

Violins are out for cotchin on 7 but he clearly chose to bump and should be suspended considering his priors. Same with ellis? who bumped whitfield.

How could anyone not want this nice little boy to win next week?

I should seriously be banned for this but -

mckenna rance grimes
vlaustin hurley ellis

fantasia joeD lambert
hooker riewoldt rioli

nankervis
cotchin, martin, prestia, zerrett, hepp, parish, zaka, grigg, goddard

so I have 10 of ours & 12 tigers - but it could easily be 50/50 with tippa in and bellch at his best is better than nanker.

I think grimes, vlaustin & ellis are all really good players.
But I agree with the initial point that tigers’ list is not fantastic and the coaching staff deserve credit for getting the best out of it (which should be 2nd and another one year wonder team like port in 2007).
