@BrentyMann Very frustrating but remember many games like this in the lead up to 2017. A win would be better but the hurt of this kind of loss is an important part of players learning and building a team.
"they know that if these gruesome images were made public, the industry would collapse. These injuries are not rare accidents, they are inherent to the very design of greyhound racing"
Former GRNSW chief vet Dr Alex Brittan at yesterday's Tasmania greyhound racing transition committee hearing:
'These are not normal domestic pet injuries. These are not sprained ankles from playing fetch in the park. These are high impact devastating kinetic traumas, second only to hit by car injuries in severity. These are the most extreme injuries experienced by dogs."
"As chief veterinary officer I didn't hide in an administrative office, I regularly attended race meetings & worked directly beside the on-track veterinarians. I was witness to the worst injuries that I have ever seen in 30 years as a vet."
"A dog sliced in half by a broken cable of a mechanical lure. Twisted lung lobes, twisted bowels, torn kidneys, shattered skulls from colliding with steel posts, and fractured legs that dogs continue to run on crossing the line with flapping broken bones."
"There was a dog with bilateral fractures that suffered such catastrophic blood loss that even a seasoned track manager of 10 years vomited on the track."
"The videos of these injuries are tightly siloed and hidden by the industry. They are strictly barred from public viewing because they are so completely damning."

For the past couple of months we have been working on this investigation into the NACC and its leadership.
What we found was alarming and does not reflect well on the NACC.

While the world focuses on the destruction in Iran, we must not ignore what Israel is doing in Lebanon.
1,461 have been killed.
4,430 have been injured.
1.2 million have been displaced.
Israel now occupies 14% of Lebanon.
Enough is enough. No more US military aid to Israel.

@Richmond_FC@KFCAustralia Some good ins but surprised we aren’t picking a specialist ruck in OHB. Surely we need to see if our young rucks have real potential and surely this is the perfect time to do it.
