As usual, Collingwood will probably appeal and he'll get off. I'd love to know the ratio of Collingwood suspensions that go to appeal and the percentage that get off on appeal. Collingwood is like teflon - nothing sticks!

Love to see stats to back that up. Reckon like a lot of things it is a big myth.

Here is collingwood's defence, my source is solid

Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, Chef's attorney would certainly want you to believe that his client wrote "Stinky Britches" ten years ago. And they make a good case. Hell, I almost felt pity myself! But, ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense!

Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, [approaches and softens] does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.[1]

Don't Collingwood players normally appeal and get off?

No.

When was the last time a Collingwood player who appealed - failed in his appeal Plugger?? Seeing how you are so adamant on this.

Have no idea but when was the one before Maxwell that got off on appeal. Do remember 2 pretty vital ones in 2002 and 2003 GF when they didnt get off.

Well surely this must open the door the the Zac Dawson/Anthony Rocca match-up we've all been hoping for!

Is "The Man With Two First Names" any good (ie. much of a loss)?

What possie does he play?

borderbarry · Tue 05 May 2009 6:49pm

One of the most accurate players in the maggies lineup.
