Our warchest looks like it may go to lawyers rather then players :(

Well, at least the lawyers would have earned it...

    The club has no obligation to report on it. Only once decisions and/or sanctions have been made should the club report on it.

    Dumb threat is dumb.

    One thing I haven't heard mentioned anywhere yet, amazingly really, is where in the AFL rulebook does it say that a team MUST attempt to win every game of football or suffer sanctions?

    My understanding is it would fall into the 'bringing the game into disrepute' category'.

    Really it's enough of a joke in itself that one bad thing falls in the category and another doesn't completely at the discretion of Vlad and is a true portrayal of how flawed our games hierarchy is.

    so you don't think they leak

    even if they haven't said anything of interest there is certainly an afl trial going on

    really not sure - whilst there maybe an individual leaking I still feel that AFL would love this to all go away but the media refuses to stop beating the drums. Whilst people have rightly commented that just because others before us "list managed" it doesnt make it right for us to do the same, I think the AFL would be worried that if they come down with an ugly finding against us, then they are obliged to look closely at past actions of other clubs.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
