Vlad continually refers to the integrity of the game and the competition, but really, where is it?

I was thinking about this on Sunday as I watched the scores come in (couldn't bring myself to watch the games) from the Vlad franchise teams' games.

Now it won't effect us this year but in terms of teams playing for top 8 or top 4 the number of times you play these teams will make a huge difference in terms of points and percentage.....there will be no "integrity" unless or until the FIXture becomes a draw, or each club plays each other twice.

Poor planning on the part of AFL.

    While we're on the topic of Andrew Demetriou's integrity ...

    "Last week the AFL said Davey, in a conversation with Mifsud, was remorseful, apologetic and hurting. Davey vehemently denied any such feelings."

    Now, we are told the exact opposite ... that it was Mifsud who "misinterpreted" what Davey said. This, despite going on record last week as saying what Davey said was "clear and unmistakable".

    I still think Neeld should sue. So should Davey.

    * Edit ... Caro weighs in on the AFL's "whitewashing" of the truth in this matter ... http://www.theage.co...d=1334064974811

    So Caro still sticking with the story that Davey either outright lied or embellished the story and all Mifsud did wrong was leaking this? Something really stinks here.

    Its either Davey embellished the story or Mifsud made it up on top of being astonishingly indiscrete in the release a confidential conversation with an indigenous player.

    Its apparently "settled" but these outstanding issues will be worked out behind the scenes.

    If that is what happened both of those blokes should pack it in now. They would be two extraordinary breaches of trust.

    Seems Caro is no longer sitting on the fence (re whos telling the truth) as she said she was on 3AW

    Seems you were right after all Rhino re what Caro really believes

    Davey really is in an uncomfortable place (truth or untruth) and for a number of other reasons

    His best bet is to get out on the field and play like he used to play

    Im just intrigued by the notion that there is any way possible the words Vlad ( AD) and Integrity could ever be in the same line !!

    Ought to be in the Webster Dictionary as prime example of an oxymoron.

    Having to use the "i" word too often to defend a position almost always means there isn't any. It's one of those natural truths like when slugs and snails appear after it rains.

    or maggots picking over a corpse?

    Exactly. The other bets/options are even more uncomfortable for the player and the Club.

    His first effort at redeeming himself against Brisbane was underwhelming to say the least.

    And the only reasoning she gives for believing Mifsud over Davey is: "he would not have been supported - as he clearly has been - by the AFL Players Association CEO Matt Finnis, who defended him again yesterday."

    That is specious reasoning.

    The AFL or Finnis don't know what Davey said in that meeting, it isn't reason enough to doubt Davey's word.

    So this is over?

    Yeah, but with a giant 'F... You' from the AFL to Aaron Davey.

    It's a good thing for them Aaron is in terrible form, otherwise we might give a sh!t.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
