old dee 24,084 Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Why has the Quote option on this site become useless? It was fine. Not all upgrades work. Grrr. This site is now very hard to read. End rant. 100% agreement also much more difficult to post. Quote
Sir Why You Little 37,482 Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Old Dee for the AFL to Wack us we have to have done something wrong. What exactly have we done? The AFL know if we are sanctioned without solid reason we will fight it in court. Wilson can write what she likes. Rant on at press conferences till the curtains fade. It is not her call. I doubt we will get hit with anything now... Quote

I doubt we will get hit with anything now... You see wyl I actually think we tanked, in my mind there is no doubt about it. Now proving it is another question. I don't believe we have done anything worse than other clubs but tanked none the less. I will still be surprised if we get off Scot free Quote

beelzebub 23,392 Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 That kick really irks me bb. I went home filthy that night because we should have won. The whole issue of trying to get extra picks annoyed me then and still does to this minute. 2009 created a culture that exists to this day and it has not been a good one. I hope we can banish it over the next few years and in the future the MFC never ever again takes the field with anything less than a 100% win attitude from the players and FD. I think OD thats exactly what is taking place now. The league quietly re-assumes control over circumstance of priority picks and then will bin the entire idea in favour of..who knows , but something universally accepted and palatable. Im sure no one really enjoyed the experimenting, though often wasnt necessary as we were just that useless. However, in many respects it was all a games of chess/positional semantics/eye on the bigger prize. Means to an end stuff. I suppose it was most unsavoury for as much as we dont like losing it had become not only the norm but a deliver of benefits. Who wants to lose !!!I dont. Quote

You know bb the thing that probably annoys me the most is we then went and wasted a lot of the picks on players like Cook 1 Quote

Redleg 42,190 Posted December 3, 2012 Author Posted December 3, 2012 Big difference in cases. AFL always said don't cheat on contracts and salary cap, that is an offence and you will get hit hard, unless you are the Crows. With "Tanking", the AFL ( CEO and Footy Manager) have said all along that what we did was OK and has been done ever since footy started. It is called "List management and Experimentation". That has been ticked off several times already. To now say it is an offence will see litigation come long and hard, as well as more from the Bookies and Punters. Andrew will be in a Court for weeks getting no work done. Then the other clubs will get dragged in. This is not what the AFL wants or needs at this point in time. 4 Quote

Whispering_Jack 31,380 Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Ryan Ferguson is the antithesis of T$ in that he remained at the red and the blue when it would have been to our advantage for him to go to Hawthorn several years ago in exchange for a Brad Sewell. He's been playing for West Adelaide where he's now the skipper and he's just re-signed for another stint - http://m.adelaidenow.com.au/sport/afl/fergusson-re-signs/story-e6freckc-1226525991193'>Ferguson re-signs with Bloods.

I've often said that myself. They were invented for the idiotic to distort the unemployment figures.Clearly. I've seen council dudes blowing leaves down a drain that the next day overflows and has to be pumped ,only for the same thing to happen again a week later . Get a f#cking rake you blowjobs .

Redleg 42,190 Posted December 5, 2012 Author Posted December 5, 2012 Wonder if there is any connection to Anderson going and the tanking inquisition. Anderson instituted it on Brock's say so while Andy was away. Quote

I've seen council dudes blowing leaves down a drain that the next day overflows and has to be pumped ,only for the same thing to happen again a week later . Get a f#cking rake you blowjobs . Yes, I used to see the council guy with the leaf blower every day and wondered whether that was his only task for the day, or...? It's hard to imagine a more menial, low responsibility job. Maybe it's the job for me when I win div 1 in the lottery and just need something to do to pass the time. 1 Quote
PJ_12345 1,098 Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 Why? It was more an attack on his weight. From what I've read there isn't any room for him anymore under AD's new direction. I think that this helps with us though Quote
