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 !

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
