Player Watch Steele Sidebottom

[jmac70]

The players want the season to go ahead, why do you think it's best for them to cancel it?

Let’s face it, the season is compromised to the point where it is almost unsustainable. That point may still arrive.

You mean like everyone else except for teachers, who still suck off the public teat, even though they do nothing but churn out legions of uneducated, brainwashed groupthink sheep.

Unsustainable is an interesting choice of words.

Why is it unsustaintable?

Not playing games is actually unsustainable for the AFL.

Look at the impact the SA government had today on the fixture. How long can the AFL sustain these interruptions?

The real question is how long can the AFL and its clubs survive with no income coming in.

They get another job like everyone else.

You just don't walk into another job these days, considering over 7% of Australians are now unemployed.

 

[Captivating]

The whole hub system is grossly unfair to the players and their families. Season should have been cancelled.

Players can always not play and go on Job Keeper. It's their choice.

True. I just think people are being a bit hard on Steele, this whole situation is very difficult.

Also true. I feel for people who have lost their jobs.

That’s nice of the police.

I wonder hard Ed will allow Caro to go tonight.
Looking forward to the feedback.

14 clubs would become insolvent straight away.

The AFL would not receive income from the broadcast deal.

Missing the season would have serious ramifications and we must keep it going even with the bastardisation of the fixture.

Doesn't read well, does it? Roaming a street in Williamstown 7.30am Sunday morning.
Surely a club sanction on top of the AFL suspension is coming. Disappointing from one of the club's most senior players.
Thinking player restrictions have gotten to Sidey.

I’d be very disappointed in a club sanction. He needs support from the club, not punishment, he’ll get that from the AFL.

I would be surprised if the club didn't take some form of action, a fine even. The club needs to set an example for the younger players, that no matter who you are, this isn't acceptable and you will be held accountable for your actions.

I'm sure there will be club support, but you also can't ignore the actions. Could you imagine how Bucks would feel. He just lost his best rebounding defender for the season, then 24 hours later, one of his best players and most senior players, is found wondering the streets Sunday morning, after an all nighter on the p1ss.
I'm tipping the club is not going to take this lightly.

He should be stripped of the vice captaincy

Yeah I think that has to happen unfortunately.

Sidey's fine in a one on one. And teams don't really play 6 forwards, they're just forced to start that way and then one becomes an extra mid or defender. I'd be happy for him to be a spare in defence. I reckon he'd cut teams up, but it'd be short lived because he'd be so dangereous that he'd get a tagger anyway. Sidey's problem is that he's too good to not be tagged, but not good enough to shake a tag.

At best, he's about average in 1v1 competitions. If only minding an opponent was as simple as a series of 1v1 competitions.

Did you read past the first line? Second sentence suggests you didn't.

I did. Not sure why you'd think otherwise.

I would be very disappointed if that were to happen. I doubt it will.

How long we thinking the penalty will be? I'm thinking 4 to 5 weeks, and so it should be. Unbelievably stupid act.
