Political correctness got out of hand hasn’t it Timbo? Back in my day it was ALWAYS “Merry sentencing day”. Nowadays we’re not allowed to exclude groups from enjoying a good sentencing. But I mean is “Happy sentencing” that much more inclusive?

World’s gone mad.

GE's private jet will be touching down, direct from Honolulu to Canberra. He's just a 10 minute helicopter ride from the Magistrates Court now. Really needs to get his feed up and running though.

Well I guess this is the closest we're going to get to a Boogs this year, so nominations for best dressed are now open.

There are more people online now than during some of our games this year.

Is the GH's court reporter there with updates?

I think the GH priority for this offseason is working on an algorithm for the end of season ratings that punishes a player more for missing games as a result of belting 5 innocent bystanders than a player who does an ACL during a competitive match.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that the crux of Toddles final straw?

We asked him to stop drinking because he was clearly a **** on the turps, and he said he didn't have a problem and wouldn't moderate himself?

jackie boi will be fine. He'll just promise to call daddy ricky if things are getting loose.

This is the best advert for why coaches shouldn't share that they have favourites in their squad.

Some quality banter too. Can't quote them all, but lolz all round.

‘Everywhere I go now, I’m not known for being the nice guy or a good footy player. Now everyone is riding me about the whole situation’
Canberra star Jack Wighton has faced a panel of Aboriginal Elders, who will make a recommendation over his sentencing #9news @9NewsAUS

Funny that when you bash people that people lose respect for you.

So is it actual sentencing day or just recommendation from the elders day?
