Sydney to host the Grand Final next 3 years

[FFC Mariner]

I reckon:
City 3-0 win
Victory suspended fine and points penalty
Glover 3-6 weeks
Few S Melb fans get bans

The smart move for Glover was to run like f**k. Why would you stand there as it all goes tits up?

Thought he was untouchable.

The only reasons I can possibly think he didn’t turn and leg it is either,
A- ego? Didn’t think they’d actually touch him
B- didn’t want to turn his back and get a genuine coward punch to the back of the head and swamped



Either was a lose lose, just leg it.

Mate - they would have had to be quick to catch me if I'm him

I've had a body search before.

I can beat that . I’ve had a prostate biopsy. Basically a pistol shoved up your bum which fires a needle 16 times in repetition into the prostate, collecting a core sample . The first one is very uncomfortable . By your 16th your feeling totally violated.

Is that ego? Or just thinking we live in a civilised country where invading and assaulting a player is unthinkable?

It ended up being a dog shot he never saw coming anyway so turning to leg it wouldn’t have been a problem.

As for any sanction the more I think about it the less likely it seems. Yes it was silly to throw it back and he should have let others deal with it but if he gets suspended it validates the assault to some small degree and the APL and FA wont want that. We’ll see a statement or interview with him trying to clear that up and he’ll be the poster boy for healing a hurting league. OSM on the other hand won’t know what hit them. Huge test for the APL coming up, they’ve got to get something right sooner or later right?

Same. Felt like a stapler going off in my butt.

When Turbo is suggesting the APL need to start getting things right we are in trouble. You have been a huge advocate for them and I always wished your were right. If they treat us like they now have the high ground and don’t review where all this started then the league is in huge trouble when the P- deal finishes. That Sunday of football was woeful. However still would have been if last nights derby wasn’t a disaster. Maybe I was looking hard for a good game to make the world right again and didn’t get it at all.

I’ve been willing to cut them some slack and be realistic around our options with Paramount and some other things. I don’t think they’ve done a perfect job but up until a week ago I got it and was generally optimistic.

I don’t like the GF decision and feel it was short sighted, then the truth comes out about funding and the P+ subscription shortfall. Aside from the GF decision itself I was appalled by how wrong they got the messaging and PR. That in itself should have been a resignation. There was no way that announcement went any way other than how it unfolded. Maybe the execs have forgotten everyone else has to pay for their own trips, accommodation and tickets.

I genuinely don’t see how anyone with any professional experience would have said this is what we’re announcing, give blatantly bullshit reasons, provide bugger all detail to the grand plan then backflip more than a gymnastics team. Arrogance? Incompetence? Out of touch? I just can’t..

You’re totally right, but from my personal experience never be naive enough to think some clown won’t take a swing or worse. Perhaps I should’ve used the term naivety instead of ego, my bad.

I’d definitely be breaking the 100mtr sprint WR if 200 mouth breathers were aggressively running toward me.

i still dunno how the f**k you get flares into the ground! ( although a mental picture just appeared)... quasi- useless check point operators , ignoring fans who look vaguely angry i guess

Prison wallet?

 

[BrisRecky]

Prison wallet?

That’ll do it

 

[Wombat]

I've had a body search before at AAMI.

Did you get their number?

 

[Ancient Mariner]

Thought he was untouchable.

He's a goalkeeper, protected species. Ref's first reaction was to protect him from any threat.

He appears to be as dumb as dogshit tbh.

I would have thought the pistol up the bum would make you feel totally violated,but then again i`m a bit old fashioned...

Same. Felt like a stapler going off in my butt.

so would that mean you only had 8 staples go off?

I’ve enjoyed the extra content this season, I watched the SFC doco as I enjoyed watching Corica almost lose his job and seeing losing dressing rooms for Shitney. The all access has also been good so I was also starting to feel positive around it all improving.

I watch most games every week but last season in frustration of the officiating I only watched the Mariners for more than half the season. It’s clear from the reduction in funding the viewing hours last season were very poor. But I can’t believe we signed a contract with less funding if KPI’s were not met when their platform was the biggest turn off for so many last season. That alone should instigate change is required in the APL. Seen an interesting article suggesting the FA might take the league back now the clubs have stuffed it up so bad. Interesting times ahead.

I cant see that happening. Would be a huge legal war and both sides would lose.

Victory have been given until Wednesday morning to prove why their fans have not brought the game into disrepute.

Does Victory have a seat on the 5 member APL board?

I couldn’t find the list in old posts.
Will be interesting to see how they compare any possible sanctions to previous examples in Australia or around the world.

Yeah.

But Anthony Di Pietro (who was their representative on the board) resigned from his post after the vote, he claimed conflict of interest as the reason.
