Restraint of trade Rhino. They contracts were signed off.

    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: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • 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.
