      i do think the MRP is 50-50 on it. i think he will probably get 2 reduced to 1 but there must be some chance of getting 1 reduced to 0

        Malceski has been targetted the past 5 weeks. There has been at least one late hit on him every game.

        If they take that into account, buddy is gooorne.

          They won't.

          I think he deserves a week though.

            A lot of pressure on the MRP tonight, a really big call and they will have to come up with some mighty fine justification if they let him off, everything about it says he should get at least a week - was definately high, definately late and he definately had time to pull out of it so very hard to see how he could possibly get off, doesn't mean he won't though.

              * Every grand final since has been played between 1st and 2nd.
              * We were also the last team to win the flag after finishing below first or second (2005 for those who've forgotten).
              * The Crows are the only team to win it from 4th (in 1997). In '98 they won from 5th.

              The trend seems to be it is getting harder for anyone but the top 2 to make the GF, let alone win it.

              From 1996-2005, Essendon and Port were the only minor premiers to go on to win the flag. In the seven seasons from 2006-2012, minor premiers won three times, runners-up four times.
              We finished 3rd last year in the H&A Season...

                  Andrew Wu needs to rethink his headshot.
                  I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
                  We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                      I was going to start with "Hi Andrew, don't take this the wrong way- but..."

                      I'm not sure I can really put my finger on why, I think it just looks too serious.

                          He looks like a Triad after you've p@@@@@ them off. Witness protection please.

                            I'm not sure I'd quite put it that way.

                              Who cares what he looks like. He does a great job IMHO.

                                But at this time of the year the AFL protects the game before the head. I can't see that they will let one of the game's marquee players sit on the sidelines when there are gates and television ratings to consider. Mind you we benefitted from this change in interpretation in 1996 and again in 2005 so we shouldn't complain. It should be interesting to hear the fumbling explanation however.
