Restraint of trade Rhino. They contracts were signed off.

But feel free to keep disagreeing...

    All you have done is parrot "Restraint of trade" without having the clue of the law or its application of it to the current situation.

    Every law, by-law, regulation or ordinance is challengeable in the Courts. There may well be an issue. But what is the commercial driver to take it to the Courts

    Whether a legal challenge will depend on:

    1. Who the aggrieved party is? Looks like only Tippett is an issue as the article referred to if he was deregistered (Clue: notice the "if"). His pockets wont be as deep as the AFLs.

    2. What have they lost or been denied? Uncertain. This is still to be determined if at all.

    3. What is the cost and time to take to challenge the particular laws in Court? The length of a piece of string. They wont have much time with the football season starting soon.

    4. What is the likelihood of success and what would be deemed success? If I flip three coins and.....

    The issue is whether the technicality has commercial legs to become a "legal minefield". Its far from certain this will go anywhere beyond the recognition of possible issue was contingent upon a certain penalty being imposed.

    And to be clear. I am not disagreeing with you WYL as you have not put anything of substance up beyond the melodramatic cliches.

    Haha biffen that was intended "*throws fishing line and waits to see who bites*"

    ;)

    Since you only mention one fishing line we won't count 'litterally', or even 'I speak english good'. Or is there just too much bait on your line (tends to sink to the bottom if there is). lol

    Haha thats always been my problem - I could never get the bait right when I fish

    I was surprised that no one picked up on my favourite "I speak english good". Grammer instead of grammar my favourite though :)

    Kudos to you sir/doctor

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
