but in all seriousness - like many have said, We got there in the end!
I guess the MRO when citing could claim the intent (to spoil/mark) was unclear given it was somewhat clumsily executed... (maybe???)

Gold Coast coach Stuart Dew confirmed Ben Ainsworth and Nick Holman will miss Round 9 due to injuries, along with Lachie Weller (AF $784k SC $502k DEF). On Weller, Dew said: “We’re just trying to settle that knee down. Little bit of swelling. That’s one we will make sure is absolutely 100% (after ACL injury last year). He’ll just be monitoring as he starts to ramp up his load how it responds.”
