Played on him last time and Cox came good in the last and marked an easy ball to win the game.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 14, Vs Collingwood
We don't really have an applicable thread for this but we're obviously not going to be troubled with having to match up on Stephenson this weekend but ...
How the actual f**k do you get sprung placing not one, not two but THREE bets on games you're participating in and tip-toe away with a roughly 3-game sanction per offence?
Naughty boy, but okay, you can play finals after a little rest.
The league is hopelessly compromised on this issue.

He should have got a year for stupidity.
How easy is it to give your mate the money and get him to put the bet on ?

You just gotta love Collingwood. When it seems that the world is changing too fast, and you can't keep up; a Collingwood player goes and does something stupid to bring him and his club into disrepute. Ah, the more things change the more they stay the same.
Happy days indeed.
Cue Eddie to appear on the news pleading for forgiveness for his "young and stupid" player.
However one can't help but feeling all this betting advertising we see associated with the coverage of our game, might not be in the game's (or those associated with it) best interests.
The truth will set you free,
but first it will piss you off. ... Gloria Steinem.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 14, Vs Collingwood
I give a big left field match up and put Sweet on Cox.
Tell him to stop Cox so follow him everywhere.
When he goes forward, Sweet goes back. When he goes in the ruck, Sweet goes in the ruck.
When he comes off, Sweet comes off.
Sweet by the bio is slightly heavier than Cox and 6 cm shorter.
Sweet is listed as aggressive so he can get Cox to worry about him.
Won't happen but he would be our closest match up by size and Sweet has been playing the game longer.
Don't piss off old people
The older we get the less "LIFE IN PRISON" is a deterrent...

Sweet also has party tricks like this in the bag!
Albeit he was probably trying to kick an opponent's head and the ball got in the way but hey, we're due for another left field debutant.

Righto.
Yep, he was just sitting home yesterday when he suddenly thought "Oh shit, those bets I was putting on were probably against the rules! I'd better head down to league HQ and hand myself in."
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

I watched Sweet in the VFL last week and while he did some nice things in the ruck and worked his way into the game around the ground (plus that goal was off the chain), I’m not sure I saw anything that would suggest this would be a great idea. Especially given he doesn’t appear to have played any backline up to this point. I don’t think he’s anywhere near agile enough to do it.

Yes but Bevo is well known for playing guys out of position
BB.
Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 14, Vs Collingwood
I have been reading calls for Sweet to be included all season.
My impression? He is a candidate to be our backup ruckman in 2021. We have one developing ruckman in the side already (English). Why would we want 2?
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.
