To some it might be Redleg. But I can understand the confusion of many. The final outcome from the governing body (The AFL) is that we didn't tank and didn't go out to deliberately lose games having considered all the evidence, and I can live with that . But the $500K (third largest AFL fine handed out) and the suspensions of key coaching/managerial staff is damning.

The information from the regular meeting in the vault should never have come to light. That's where the blame should lie in all this.

Four people came forward, and informant among the club allegedly supplied information to Caroline Wilson. Then there was Brock McLean. Our club has had backstabbing snitches with gripes. These people would rather battle for power or bring someone down than see this club prosper in pursuit of a flag. It's virtually unheard of at other powerful AFL clubs.

These are the people who should be in the spotlight. These are the people who are holding this club back now. The Board have been cleared, the CEO was exonerated after all the collated evidence. These people I speak of have Connolly and Bailey's blood on their hands, not to mention a $500K noose around the clubs neck.

Spot on H_T

There is a ways to go in this farce.

Until we rid ourselves of the enemy within we are going nowhere fast.

What happens if these same people ring the gaming commission?

Given we have been cleared of match fixing there should not be much to fear from the Gaming Commission. The AFL QC said there was nothing to support it in the report. So did ours. No one who works in that area in the club has been cited.

Had two bananas with breakfast......thought it might cheer me up

Didn't work, still pizzed off :ph34r:

Decided last night that it is time to move on dc.

dead right bossdog

do you think it is normal for him to take 5 minutes and continuously grinning?

might give the ama a ring

Id have thought giving your doc your "ring" would be enough

Wouldnt involve an acronym or you could end up with an 800 page report 18 months of inuendo before being found not guilty but having to outlay $500K

I am actually expecting us to lose both games tomorrow, but just hope we can show something in game style and endeavour and some hope from the new squad. Although he is only young, I am really looking forward to seeing Hogan.

Do you consider that one or more of the four informants also supplied information to Caroline Wilson?

Perhaps that one of those who you describe as "backstabbers" might have encouraged the informants to come forward?

I think there has to be something about this club that sets it apart from several others who should be investigated for tanking/list management/acting against the interests of the AFL or whatever. I think there are some uber rats around the place and that's what might answer the question.

good point re ama dpositive :)

best to keep my bile for afl and kero, that way my integrity will stay intact

Sounds like the only thing that has dc!

Given your earlier appointment DC, I'd be worried about things other than my integrity remaining intact.

Remember the old schoolyard joke? " Wouldn't know if a tram was up (insert gender distinguishing pronoun) until the conductor rang the bell".

That is a very old one

90% of people on here would not know what a conductor was

You are dating yourself Bbo

In Mykonos they substitute tram for Donkey .

I didn't know you went to a catholic school BBO?

BTW ,I applied for the job in Rome because I thought the town had three things going for it.

1. All roads lead there.(great for traffic)

2.It wasn't built in a day (unlike Beijing)

3. When there ,you have to do what they do (which is not very much).

Put in my application ,just waiting for the puffs of smoke from the blokes in frocks.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
