Judd didn't get to the 300 games but grand final winner, norm smith, multiple brownlows etc.

Some decent players from that draft that also won't reach 300. Luke Ball a prime example. Had a very underrated career.

Scott said the grey area on dangerous tackles should be addressed.

"Clearly, the umpires and the MRP are seeing things differently at the moment," Scott told Fox Footy on Monday night.
"That one [the Waite tackle] is a player on one leg completely off balance. It wouldn't take much effort at all to bring him down to the ground.
"We're asking too much of the players on this one, especially when the umpire is with a really good view looking at it and saying, 'That's play on', and then the outcome two days later is a two-week suspension, albeit down to one.
"I'm not sure that we're quite on the same page with this one and I'd hate to think that the fact that the players are concussed is playing into the outcome.
"I'm firstly acknowledging how difficult it is and that we do have a responsibility to look after the players but … in my humble opinion, those decisions aren't right."


He's somewhat correct, if an act is illegal as per the MRP's chart then surely it's illegal on game day and thus a free kick against.
Quoted in entirety to maintain context.

It should be the same but making a split second decision is much different to viewing something on multiple camera angles etc.

Not exactly. He got 3 weeks but because there is 2 byes during that stretch (VFL scheduling is bizarre...) he can't play for 5 weeks.

We won't. He's too important as a leader in the backline.

**** off Jatz :D
Going to my first game at Windy Hill too so hopefully two wins ;)

After BobGate I wonder if both clubs will have a special #Pops300 jumper



:D
rip lou richards up there with captain blood and bob davis now
The 9 news tribute was all class. For a prankster and sometimes arsehole you can bet your house on John Newman making an absolute classy tribute. His media persona, Sam, will be left at the door for this one.

Rumour going around by a few ITK types that they're some way off agreeing to an extension
pft
Still no CBA and an interview with Twomey today saying he has no intention of leaving.

It's the usual "promising player out of contract, maybe he will leave". ITKs do this so that if they are correct they get lauded but have the easy out of "oh things have changed, it might not happen" and people will lap it up.
