My first memories of Lou go back to the late 60's and 70's. He would take the piss out of sponsors products that were the prizes for winning the handball competition which I would watch religiously. He was always cracking the other guys up, not just in front of the camera: there was a lot of laughter in that show from the production staff too. He was a terror, and the template for footy presenters after him. The worst thing about this was having to endure minutes of Eddie Everywhere going on about him. He was so much bigger than just Collingwood.

I don't know what's worse, "That's bad news for Lindsay Thomas" and forgetting the guy he hit spent the night in hospital, or the mental gymnastics it takes to think Daisy is the one who needs to fix the contract by removing the clause, so that Carlton can stop dropping him to avoid the trigger, even though they're going to trigger it anyway, so why the gently caress are they dropping him

Maybe Carlton don't care about the trigger clause at all and are not playing him because he's borderline best 22/not part of the future

Still pretty typical Darce poo poo to heap that back on the player, when the club agreed to the contract in the first place.

You can't delist all of them at once, Thomas would still have some time on his contract, while the four that got dumped didn't. Same thing happened during the Harvey cleanout at Freo, it takes a couple if not three seasons to do a full turnover.

It was basically a drive-by elbow. Maynard had no way of protecting himself or even anticipating the hit
