Even then I think the C/VC arrangement provides a solid enough transition period for a young captain-in-waiting. Co-captains just seems like a weak choice to me (can’t decide, don’t want to upset anyone etc).
All it will do is enforce the Tex Clique vs. Sloane Clique.

The Port Board Clique vs. Arthur Dunger if you will.

One game is probably reasonable, purely because he played out the game. A bad medical report from the Dees would have changed things a fair bit.
Walker got 1 week for the same thing, at least it was kind of 'In Play'. 1 week is pathetic considering it was so far off the ball.

Cheney is nothing more than a gutless coward!!!

Yeah, co-captains and having 20% of the squad in the leadership group are straight out of Leadership By Committee 101. It's a cop out. When the chips are down you need one strong leader who can deliver a strong message that the team can follow. You don't need uncertainty about who to listen to or wait for the message to be approved by a two thirds majority of the leadership group.

Nathan Buckley saying "Our injury status is not our narrative" is now Collingwood's narrative.
Coaches love the old '(loud voice) Injuries/umpiring/etc. is not an excuse. (small voice) So can all you in the media please use it as one so I don't look so bad'

Sooooo, reading Kane Cornes’ Twitter, some Crows peanut complains about Kane writing that Sloane should take over from Tex as captain, saying he should say the same thing about Boak (he has), and is called out for faking his own death on BigFooty

I went down this rabbit hole and read the entire Alex_is_on_fire fake death thread, man I’m out of the loop and I was unaware of all this, I haven’t laughed so hard in ages

Alexisonfire are an awful band too

Still one of the most deranged posters this site has ever seen. And that is a big ask considering some of the complete fruit cakes around. The fake death thing is still some of the finest work in a thread ever. Gripping stuff. I wonder if he actually was a school teacher, or was that found to be more 'fake news'?

AFL footballers who test positive to illicit drugs such as ice, cocaine and ecstasy would be scrutinised by a new, anti-corruption watchdog under changes proposed by a federal government commissioned review of the integrity of our Australian sport.

The contentious recommendation, if accepted, would set the AFL and its players’ association on a collision course with the proposed National Sports Integrity Commission, a powerful investigations and regulative body intended to lead our national defence against corruption in sport.

A detailed examination of the integrity of Australian sport led by renowned corruption buster James Wood QC found that the AFL’s illicit drugs policy, which treats first-time failed drug tests as a confidential matter between footballers and AFL medicos, was a “significant missed opportunity’’ to protect sport against criminal infiltration.

The Wood report notes that the national anti-doping body, the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority, currently has no involvement in out-of-competition tests for illicit substances, which are conducted for the AFL by a private provider, and is not notified of first strike positive tests.

Rest behind Australian paywall FYI.

You made me read that thread again. Still a classic.
