Blues Brothers trip to the tribunal

[Baggers]

Hilarious...Whately knew Sellers was furious with him too, nearly sh.t a brick at the end & Flubbo was very very sheepish sitting next to him, worried, no doubt that if he opened his mouth, he would have copped a backhander to the mush ;D

Not surprised in the slightest, I hope Sellars, off camera, called them on their disappointing behaviour.

I confess to being surprised by Whateley's seeming covert venom toward the CFC/Curnow boys (thinly disguised as something else). I always saw Whateley -- until now -- as intelligent, articulate and measured in his comments but he was clearly (in a passive/aggressive way) angry. His comments around the Curnow's decision, 'I thought I knew ...etc... but clearly I know nothing...' or words to that effect, are just childish and tantrumesque. If he didn't agree with the decision he should have simply been an adult and said that up front, instead it's come across as deeply personal against our club and the 2 players concerned. Resorting to drama/theatrics is really disappointing from someone we expect far more objectivity from.

Then Robbo starts crying poor Baguley because of his facial defect (don't know what that is... ) and how that would have been difficult for him growing up... as if this justifies his behaviour. Astounding and puerile perspective.

Not a good week for 360, far too subjective/personal agenda driven. Thought Whateley was more professional that this. From Robbo we expect little else.

Maclure is now and always was a champion for and of the club

If he speaks, I listen.  Might not fit into the PC mould, but never one to shirk it

They're talking with supporter emotion (Geelong and Essendon)...when that comes into play off goes your head and on goes a pumpkin...in some cases the pumpkin is a better look

When I used to listen to Grandstand AFL on the radio a few years back, Whateley alongside Tim Lane was very good. He's really gone downhill since, and I don't know why.

I wonder if this stems from the fact that the Curnow brothers are both from the greater Geelong area....

Yes, perhaps you're right. I was hoping for something that was inevitable and inescapable, like senility syndrome, rather than just greed.

I like Maclure too, will stick up for the club but also give the club a whack when it needs it....sometimes can be way off target but his intentions are good IMO...

Agree....got carried away with his position of power too as a media commentator and because he has had a bit of respect in the industry a few people listen to him.

Has like a birthmark or skin lesion type blemish on his bottom lip or chin, looks a bit like a burn scar.

If Lamb was into him about that then it's probably reasonable that Baguley fires something back, but not using a dead parents murder as ammunition. But I have doubts about the Flubbo assertion, because Baguley's physical appearance is dead set obvious yet it was the 3rd or 4th version of events offered in defense of this actions. You'd think he'd be on the front foot given he's had this issue for a long time, Baguley wouldn't be new to dealing with it.
