I want to formally apologise once again currently. "I enjoy to presume that I'm a fair gamer. I have never been suspended prior to. I've been actually an AFL gamer for 9 years. "I have actually played in many finals, however certainly never in a grand ultimate. Dropping the possibility to play in a grand final will be actually crushing to me."
