Thought I would blow my own trumpet. This is what I posted on another thread this morning.

"Don't think Crows will cop the iron fist.

I predicted earlier that they would be fined the amount of the 3rd party payment $300k and I still stand by that. 2 years of first and second round picks was on the cards and they may do better as they handed in a 3rd rounder with their first rounder this year. They were late round picks as well.

Tippett will cop half a season and end up at Swans on the money he wanted and they will have him for free, a huge win."

Anyone want to know the tattslotto numbers for this weekend?

i was watching the press conference and noticed that although it was purely about the Adelaide Crows and Tippett, CW tried to raise the tanking issue again!

Does she not have anything better to do with her time?

I would have at least made Adelaide pay for microphones for question time and that as it turns out would have been only 2

One for Caro and the other for everyone else

For such a professional body i am still dismayed how the AFL hold press conference question time

IMO the sentences were very light

They got away with it lightly because they plead for mercy.

Part of me wants MFC to do the same thing if it looks like the AFL are going to destroy us.

What part of the MFC is that ?

If their is any evidence of the MFC being guilty of the Tanking allegations then their would be no further need to do any more investigating

The MFC will be either found Guilty in which case they would need to have someone official from the MFC to admit to it OR the MFC is NOT GUILTY and free to go about its business

Don't want to burst your bubble, but the post of mine that you responded to with those figures (the one where I mentioned the "steel fist"), was prompted by a tweet I saw containing those exact same penalties you mentioned and saying that was what the Crows and Tippet would be hit with.

I don't suppose she raised the looming drugs controversy about to hit a particular AFL club which, coincidentally, is the only club where a former coach has admitted openly to trying not to win a game.

Do you have the inside running redleg?

IMO these penalties would have been discussed in recent weeks, only waiting for the opportune timing to announce "the findings", & of course, "the penalties".

Now let me see, now he is free to get drafted in the Pre Season draft, even with the half season penal tie.

I'll peer into the blue mist, & see what image takes shape? It looks remarkably like Mike fitz & it also looks like Tippett won't call ANZ Stadium home. Unless I'm very wrong, Tippett will see 'Red' slash, before to long, over White.

And even Galbally will wear a 'toothed', grin. :huh:

No I dont.

I was discussing with someone the tanking issue and his view was that the AFL couldn't find it proved, as it would be a minefield in relation to the gambliing that went on. Litigation could block the courts forever.

If we get found guilty

I wouldn't mind receiving the draft disqualification they got.

Cannot recruit the first 2 picks, but you can trade them in the free agency.

WIN / WIN no more skinny bodies. Yeah!

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
