Gold Coast social media team taking a leaf out of GWS’?

Can’t be serious, surely.

They couldn’t bother getting a few more ice baths in their infancy per one Gary Ablett, so you never know. ;)

I'm sure this was meant as a joke by GCS media, as there was no definitive link.

And why would Ben Long want to throw away a nice tax deduction? ;)

They were ahead of their time. They didn't want a JHF scenario, given the limitations of having the Sun, the Surf and the Sand. Oh, and the nightlife! :ROFLMAO:

Most of this article is rubbish (no surprise from the source), but there's one bit that may be relevant for some if correct:

https://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/d...d/news-story/0944871fffb0275a03ff4772c077ad03

“Now, here’s some mail boys — my mail is that Jake Waterman won’t play this week. He’s got a cut on his leg, it’s pretty bad, they’ve had to re-open it again after the game hoping there’s no infection, so my mail is he won’t play.

From Peter Sumich if you were wondering, so that you don't need to read the whole article.

The last couple of paragraphs from David Zita's post are listed below. You might change your mind slightly. 😉

Boyd submitted that Mansell deliberately ducked to get a free quick kick. We do not make that finding on the evidence before us. We now move to impact. The guidelines state that any careless, forceful front on contact which was high and that has the potential to cause injury will usually be graded at a minimum as medium impact, even though the extent of the actual physical impact may be low. If not for Boyd taking several steps immediately before contact to reduce the impact, we would have upheld the medium grading. Vision captures the following: Boyd decelerated as he realised that high contact was about to be made, he significantly reduced the actual impact to Mansell. Boyd moved his arms in a position to try to cradle Mansell. Boyd used his hands to try to stop Mansell from falling backwards. These actions helped to minimise the actual impact of the contact, which was low. Importantly, they also helped to reduce the potential for injury. For these reasons, we find the impact to be low.

Even reading this makes me think the issue with all of the tribunal incidents is this grading system….
AFL needs to be Consistent in this area….Boyd extremely lucky to get off this one…

Will Schofield spoke about fines on his podcast when butters copped his last one. He didn't word it best as he is clearly not a financial expert but the impression I got was that the fines came out of your after tax income, that they are effectively an even larger fine than the sticker says.

GAWN SORE
Melbourne captain Max Gawn was subbed off in the final quarter with what looked like an ankle complaint, but post-game, coach Simon Goodwin said he expected Gawn to be OK to play next week and that he was taken off as a precaution with the game well and truly over.

Meanwhile Adam Simpson revealed Jeremy McGovern had gone to hospital with a rib or lung issue which occurred in the final few minutes.
