Common sense prevailed.
From the Cunnington article:
"AFL advocate Andrew Woods said the main point of the case was the potential to cause injury.
"To only focus on whether or not there was an actual injury would be an error," Woods told the hearing.
"... it would indicate that players can essentially behave in that manner and it's only when someone gets hurt that a more serious offence will be found against them - that is not is what the laws or the regulations contemplate." "Unless of course its a big name player the AFL want to be playing and then no blood no foul"*.
* May not have been said
Hmmmm...a rare moment of clari... AFL: "we're still going to go ahead and apply it randomly though"
It seems this potential to injure thing is getting a run. I look forward to see where it ends up.

Where else? A bullsh*t suspension to a key West Coast player of course.

Adam Cerra offered $750K a year by Freo.
And Carlton no far behind.
Wow
What's a pre injury Yeo worth, $1.5M a year

Hagdorn speculation, though.
I guess when you have literally nothing of value in your house you'll overpay significantly for even the smallest luxury item.Adam Cerra offered $750K a year by Freo.

I would be offering Luke Ryan a wad of cash if I were a Victorian side.

To be fair Cerra is starting to develop nicely. I've got my doubts him and Serong spend their whole careers at Freo though and will head home at some point.
There's been some question marks around whether Cerra was a flight risk from the outset. That he hasn't signed must be a bit concerning. 750k is ridiculous overs, though. That's a contract based on potential, but it's also a contract based on Fremantle being petrified of the alternative (2 years at 500k and then he leaves because Freo still haven't made finals).
What was he even talking about here? Stopped watching that show this season.
I was listening to his podcast with Warner and he mentioned he same thing but was confused who was talking about.
Also he mentions how people troll him being drunk all the time but even on that podcast he was slurring hardcore. Either drunk of the long term effects of being drunk.

As an aside, why is every sports journalist put in front of a camera these days? Surely it's occurred to the people pushing this route, that some people are just better sticking to writing rather than being in front of a camera? (Not specific to Mark Robinson as I have hardly read any of his article in the last 5 years).
For pure delusional defending the indefensible Eddie McGuire defending Collingwood list management takes some beating.
Ugh, McClure vs McGuire in a battle to see who I can hate less.

So the Pies win in last year's finals at Optus is one of the greatest finals wins of all time? Getting a bit carried away there.
It really is a race to the bottom but their list management led to a fire sale. They would be clear favourites with Treloar and Phillips in there.
Tiny bit there I think the 2018 Grand Final covers it comfortably.
It's not a debacle, because we asked Ned Guy to fix up the (massive list management debacle) and he fixed it up.
Positively Orwellian levels of doublespeak from the big fella.

He set Ned Guy and possibly Bucks up for an epic fail and he still genuinely thinks he hasn't trashed his own reputation. Delusional.

He's completely incapable of accepting criticism regarding Collingwood.

Those last two words were superfluous.

Just when I thought Ed couldn't get any more embarrassing he goes to another level.
He shouldn't be hosting the show if he's going to get so defensive anytime anybody has
the balls to criticize Collingwood.

Careful or I'll take the Eddie rebuking style of "I'll just talk louder and over the top of you" to show how you're wrong (even though you're right).
So embarrassing. It would be like us trading Kelly, Ryan and Duggan because we stuffed up our salary cap. Remember that Treloar chose Collingwood over Richmond after leaving GWS. And the club absolutely stuffed up trading him and are now paying him to make the Western Bulldogs midfield one of the best in the competition.
