Somethingthat has been on my mind for awhile and Jimmy has obviously picked up on it aswell.

Jimmy is basically saying that the AFL has created a situation where youngplayers are being asked to lie.

I would take it further. We have had all the lying going on over at Essendonlast year with coaches, and of course the business with Ricky Nixon and thecarry on of the 17 Year Old school girl.

The AFL is right to teach the players morals in regard to respect for women andracism, and also to have a hard line on illicit drugs,

BUT

they have totally lost all credibility when they then turn around and condone lying. They should rescind the rule straight away and name any players who have already signed. And it may be a bit late but they should reprimand and fine Essendon for bringing the game into disrepute for all the lying that went on over there. But of course they won't.

    Essendon did no wrong. Why should they tell anyone of their plans?

    it was only for the media.

    i do agree about GWS contracts though...they should be transparent for this year only.

    With the situation and GWS like it is, Jimma's correct, some players or managers will have to lie.

    Why not come out and make all contracts signed between GWS and anyone Null and Void if dated earlier than September 2011

    The powers that run our game do what they like in other areas why not in this one. Takes the pressure off every one

    We can all enjoy the year ! Go Dees !

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
