Why doesn't Mike Fitzpatrick come out of the shadows from behind AFL scenes & shed some light on the Visy 3rd party dealings at Car'ton?

and the Judd recruitment?

and the Kreuzer Cup 2007?

Speak up Mike F, & dim'itriou.

Your silence re Car'ton is deafening the whole media.

Thrid party payments/dealings werent against the rules when Judd signed.

Thats why $cully was the highest paid contracted player this year, whereas if you had taken in Judd's Visy and environment ambassador payments + his contract there would have been quite a difference.

Long story short it will be interesting to see what happens to Judd when his contract is up for renegotiation & Carlton's salary cap

In terms of third party dealings - they will have nothing to hide and nothing to be ashamed about because it was within the rules.

You cant be retrospective in terms of morals and rules

Funny how fitz is a carlton man, and is seen regular at carlton games sitting next to the carlton presdent, talk about conflict of interests

retrospective, so if they are so proud of the juds deal why hasn't it been as transparent in the media as other AFL topics.

It may be legal, but that doesn't mean if the public understand it & whats taken place, that they will like it.

Let s see it put out in black & white print on the paper.. People may eve buy one, just to read it, rather than the cop the public relations blancmange they serve every other day.

I thin the footy public would like to know which clubs are getting a helping hand from these afl friendly rules to some.

Agree DL.

Spew it all out. I have waited for this for a long time.

Fix it AFL. Rewrite the rule. NOW.

We have to keep this post & the others at the top of the boards & take it to Big footy and others to get a groundswell going.

So the AFL can't hide behind they're own Media blanket.

Mike Fitzpatrick,,, Its movember did you know. what is that you say??? we can't quite read your lips, or hear what you have to say in those back rooms.

How was it that radar got a strong blue contract, after the Kreuzer Cup?

I think your getting a bit confused.

1. "hasn't it been as transparent in the media as other AFL topics" - let me ask you a simple question, how many clubs talk about how much their player's contracts are worth? Contracts are a no-go-conversation for all clubs, and no one is transparent.

2. "so if they are so proud of the juds deal" - Who is saying they are proud? I said they wouldnt be ashamed. Dont try and change my words.

3. "It may be legal, but that doesn't mean if the public understand it & whats taken place, that they will like it." - This is a weak argument. How much do the public know about AFL rules and I'm sure if you asked any Carlton supporter, Collingwood, West Coast, Essendon and very possibly us if we would be happy to retain a player because some of his salary came from third party dealings I'm sure you would know the answer. The only reason why it was banned was to create greater competitivness and ease the growing gap between rich and poor clubs.

4. "Let s see it put out in black & white print on the paper.. People may eve buy one, just to read it, rather than the cop the public relations blancmange they serve every other day." - I honestly have no idea what you are talking about

5. "I thin the footy public would like to know which clubs are getting a helping hand from these afl friendly rules to some." - No one is getting help from third party dealings in player contracts. As I said earlier, it was banned a long time ago, get over it.

I understand what your trying to do, and its fine to have a go at other clubs because you feel that we are being singled out, but ffs make sure what your saying is correct and relevant

I don't care about that or or individual specifics. But the advantages the clubs have had from these obscure rules & backroom afl deals by faceless people.

Why was Pagan sacked? My understanding is that Carlton knew they had Judd around Round 12 or 13 in 2007, and Denis still trying to win games would jeopardise this, so he was fired and replaced by Ratten who was told to make sure there no more wins and after achineving this was rewarded with the coaching job for 2008. Riley knew he wouldn't be at the Dees in 2008 so I guess the offer from Carlton, which must have come before Round 22 may have had some influence, although I could have coached the team to a win over Carlton that day. Even Caroline Wilson said around the time Carlton knew they had Judd that the Blues would not win another game that year.

But we can't read his lips, they just don't seem to move, out in the light of Day?

If hew shaved it would he be faceless?

If you dont care about it or individual specifics then dont attempt to raise up topics, which are wrong, and then go cry and resort to immature comments like 'I dont want to play anymore' when someone calls you on your BS.

All you had to do was edit your post and move on.

I think you well and truly deserve to win a medal on the biggest [censored] out and immature comment on demonland.

apparently look up AFL integrity & you find this picture >

FitzyChairman_246.jpg

talk of integrity according to mike,

THE FULL statement from AFL Commission chairman Mike Fitzpatrick on Ben Cousins.

"I just want to say before we deliver the decision that the AFL Commission today had a difficult decision to make.

"We had to weigh up many competing interests – not just the issue of Ben Cousins the player – but also the interests of the wider football family and indeed the wider community and the integrity of the game.

Thrid party payments/dealings werent against the rules when Judd signed.

That is actually very debatable

The reality is the AFL decided to turn a blind eye to it for whatever reason

One supposed reason was the AFL felt they had been too harsh on carlton over the salary cap punishments and this was a way of squaring up so to speak

They had the power to disallow the visy ruling as being outside the cap as the rules stood then but decided not to

Just another example of AFL meddling and bending the system to suit as it pleases them

Why when brock says the dees tanked there is a big investgation, but when Libba says the same thing about carlton, and fev wright it in his book, it is dismissed, when some thing is put in wrighting it is more powerfull then words, there is a editor, words can come out without thinking, a book has more thought, fitz and kenhan are too close, funny when they are watching carlton games next to each other, the judd deal whould not have happen at anyother club.

Why when brock says the dees tanked there is a big investgation, but when Libba says the same thing about carlton, and fev wright it in his book, it is dismissed,

apparently the AFL walked away after Carlscum officials made it clear that they "Hit the post many times".

Sadly your ability to lie well is obviously taken into account.

  • 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.

  • 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?
