THE WILSON FILE - the arrogance at the heart of the innuendo

[old dee 23,787]

A lone agreement. Who would you agree with if you were alone?

Good point Dr.

Should I change to loan?

[Dr John Dee 1,057]

Good point Dr.

Should I change to loan?

I wouldn't worry, OD, you have now anyway

[Whispering_Jack 30,019]

Good point Dr.

Should I change to loan?

No don't change it. Your defence would go much better in court if it stayed a lone agreement.

[Sir Why You Little 37,033]

Tippett may well go down. But the way Galbally was talking this morning he is 3rd in line behind the Crows and the player management.

Lets see what transpires.

[PaulRB 6,362]

Should keep us off the back pages for a couple of weeks, if not longer.

Bring on the draft and season 2013!!!

Go Dees

[beelzebub 23,347]

Back page I can live with..it was the sensationalist crap on the front that irked me

I see it that Tippett wants to get to where he wants, the Swans ... & the AFL are trying to screw them all for ... deception & are trying to usher/conscript him to their baby GWS.

Enter the invited Galbally to ensure his charge.

[rjay 24,917]

I am not sure how you exempt Tippett, I know his managers were probably tell him everything is ok.

But at the end of the day he had to sign an agreement.

Try saying to a bank after you have signed a loan agreement.

"I was only 22 and did not read it properly / understand the wording" when you cannot pay.

To his credit the normally affable "Gazy" wasn't having any of that "he was only 22" rubbish from Galbally, and scored a few points against the star QC.

Another kick, hidden away this time:

It is true that should Trigg and others go down, then you'd have to question why some Carlton and Melbourne officials - even if they had left the club - did not.

What those clubs did appears far worse. Again, the climate has changed since John Elliott's name was removed from the stand at Princes Park, and Trigg must have known this.

Another kick, hidden away this time:

She's referring there to our salary cap breaches of a decade ago. I wonder what Melbourne officials she wanted sanctioned?

[pitmaster 3,544]

Today Caroline Wilson is calling for the Adelaide CEO to be sacked (even though one of the things she attacks him for she says looked like high principle at the time - despatching Rendell).

So that makes it Bradshaw at North, Schwab at Melbourne and Trigg at the Crows.

When is the AFL going to get serious and appoint her as manager overall with the right to hire and fire senior management for every club?

[Guest José Mourinho]

She's referring there to our salary cap breaches of a decade ago. I wonder what Melbourne officials she wanted sanctioned?

Yes, I also wonder what the relevance is to the Tippet situation?

We are in a different era. Different club administration, different league administration, not even sure we had the football commission at that stage.

All (most) clubs engaged in some form of it back then, and you'd think that now the majority of that has been stamped out.

I just see it as an excuse for another kick to the club.

[beelzebub 23,347]

Kero is busy working on her revisionist inquisitions .

Can you keep the noise down !

Sanctimonious was invented for just such people.

Please note i didnt say such just people !

[iv'a worn smith 1,979]

At that time and to his credit, Joe Gutnick put his hand up acknowledging these breaches, before the AFL commission discovered them. Unlike the recidivist Carlton under Pig's Arse Elliott and of course, not to forget Esserd'n. Perspective Caroline, perspective!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????

CW likes to play the game, from the other post about the salary cap breaches she could have picked half a dozen other teams - but apart from Adelaide who are the other two teams in the news? Carlton (Scotland) and Melbourne (Tanking allegations)

It's an excuse to kick us whilst we are down and aviod having a go at anyone else. No wonder she has lasted so long, she limits her opinions/vested interests to almost one club at a time.

Gutless wonder.

Another kick, hidden away this time:

Ms Quayle broke this last week and now we're seeing Caro's name everywhere.

Did she bully Emma Quayle out of the story?

an interesting article on the AFL website, about adelaide not us, but basically says they have been misrepresented in the media about the happenings and they look forward to the afl commission meeting to set things streight.

seeming most of the sensationalised articles about adelaide (the reporting of the "letters" and secret agreements with sponsors) have basically been reported by Our favourite footy "reporter" I thought this should be plaaced here as precedent to her unreliable and tabloid garbage which has little to no basis in reality.

maybe a good reason why Galbally was so confident of his case yesterday on radio...hope so. Would love to see the media torn apart. They are now bigger than the game itself.

Gutnick did a massive amount of damage to the club, He went straight to the AFL in the hope we would get 'lenient' treatment if we approached them.

He didn't go to the Board nor seek any other counsel inside the club. It cost us massively in the draft and 5 of our players had to undergo tax audits.

All for what? The AFL had no idea what we were doing. He should have ordered it to be shut down and get the books in order. The club suffered too greatly by missing out on valuable draft picks and disunity after that.

He gets no 'credit' from me.

If Gutnick had not come along,we would be non exitant as a club or we would be a merged club.....We took his money willingly and even though he had no idea how a footy club ran....He still deserves some credit for a spare $3 mil......No?????

More likely that they needed expertise coverage of the Draft and football matters - and Emma is the person for that. Emma would have had to handball an award winning breaking story to her lacky in Wilson to pick up the crumbs.

More subjective opinion and conjecture. A couple of weeks ago anyone else who lay down for draft picks were OK in light of Melbourne doing the same basically because Melbourne is different according to this goose. Now she is wanting to revise punishments from a decade ago in light of the Crows (as yet unknown) punishment . These are classic cases of choosing a position to suit your agenda, just pathetic, agenda driven BS. Did she study Journalism or Creative Writing?

You have taken my post out of context. I was relating it back to the stance Wilson takes on the MFC. My point being, Gutnick owned up, while the likes of Carlton were caught doing deals under the table on 3 separate occasions. Yes, we were severely penalised, but what would you have the man do? Emulate John Elliott?
