Furious Eddie calls for investigation !!

Adelaides Phil Davis is off to GWS. Hes come out and told us all. He says he's signed. But the wiley Sheedy and dastardly powers that be at GWS deny anything "offical" for you see there can be nothign 'official" as they cant "officially' sign anyone currently . Dems da rools !! So sayeth the AFL and they are never deceitful, the AFL, always on teh up and up !! definitely, without doubt :rolleyes:

Persoannly I think its hilarious that Eddie's got his kniockers in a knot about this. Does this mean Eddie there are shiftier people than your good self ??

Its always been suspected that in order for teh GWS to conduct its game of intrigue and gueriilla warfare that it almost must by circumstance either operate outside of the jurisdiction of teh AFL or indeed with its bleessings. ...or BOTH !! Im not an overly betting man but Im going with C) Lock it in Eddie..C for BOTH !!

What does this mean to clubs other than Adelaide ? WHo else is out there packing bags and sifting through Tourist guides to Scenic Western Sydney ?

We all have our suspicions. Indeed our own beloved club is not immune to the scaremongering of impending departures, if indeed its only rumour and not a signed sealed deed already.. But then it coulndt be as nothing can be signed, not this year, not yet. But we can see plainly before us that theres a lot of rules being broken and I wil lcede that Macguire, indeed, any clubs officilas and supporters ought to be fuming at such underhandedness. But to be surprised ? No. Im not.

Davis is but the first to put his hand up. Brave lad. I'l ltake my hat off to him though theres a sort of twisated decency in his honesty ( now ) . Adelaide know their fate and can plan accordingly. Other await their fate.

But back to the opening tenet. GWS are cheating. Why does this surprise anyone.

It does beg the question of what some clubs already know but arent game to announce just yet. Just how much is the AFL prepared to go unbridled ?

Get used to it Eddie.... seems you dont run the game after all !

    It all reminds me of that scene in Good Morning Vietnam where Robin Williams tries to report censored wartime events by saying "unofficially" before every sentence.

    "One thing that didn't officially happen today is a bomb didn't officially explode at 13:00 hours and 23 people weren't offically killed".

    It's become like that in the world of football at the moment and it's gotten ludicrous.

    Why does this happen? Because the powers that be want to treat us all like children who, to use another movie line, can't handle the truth.

    I also tip my hat to Phil Davis for manning up and coming clean. Shows a lot of character that. Unlike some others.

    I'm 100% with Eddie. GWS are cheating. They've got massive concessions to pillage existing club lists under the rules. They need to follow the AFL rules.

    I don't think he is so brave. He is injured and out for the rest of the season anyway.

    Of course theyre cheating. Hardly news. . But how incredulous of the masses to suppose they couldnt have been. Whats more you watch the AFL duck and weave. They are complicit by direction in all of this. They created the occasion, the setting and the motives to do so. And whats worse in in their ( Vlads) interest they do so as to seure the names on which Vlad hangs his hat of success for GWS on. All terrribly incestuous and worthy of a Caligulan orgy.

    Still...he could hve stayed hidden amongst the background. He didnt, kudos at least for that. Adelaide now know where they stand.. Other clubs dont.

    Agree and very interested in the Caligulan Orgy.

    Seriously, there is no such thing as "cheating" or "breaking the rules" when the AFL is seeking a particular outcome or result.

    If this link is correct and everyone in here think Scully has a change in heart after agreeing with GWS last year specially ranger rover and that made him have a press conference i think the chances of tom scully staying get a massive boost

    From the link provided:

    ..." we haven't got the final details in terms of the specifics of the contract."
    .."We've been going through a discussion with Phil's manager and we presented an in-principle guide to what we're prepared to offer, effectively."

    Geez, 'in-principle guide offer' and 'specifics of contract' in most languages mean the same thing.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie? 
      Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG. Unfortunately, performances like these went against the grain of what Melbourne has been producing from virtually midway through 2024 and extending right through to the present day. This is a game between two clubs who have faltered over the past couple of years because their disposal efficiency is appalling. Neither of them can hit the side of a barn door but history tells us that every once in a while such teams have their lucky days or come up against an opponent in even worse shape and hence, one of them will come up trumps in this match.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
