Adrian Anderson Quits

[monoccular 16,299]

Even in this announcement she takes time to have another crack at the MFC???? Being investigated for forfeiting games? She is sailing pretty close to the wind here and will pay a decent price if/when we are found to have no case to answer.

Like a dog with a bone.

Forfeiting means to surrender.

In which game is she alleging that we did that?

Sydney Swans @ Manuka where we have never beaten them and came closer to beating them than in the previous two matches and only poor kicking for goal lost it for us?

Richmond where it took a goal after the siren from 50 metres to beat us?

St. Kilda (19-2) v us (4-17) with them paying $1.02 the win in a game we lost by 47 points?

If these were forfeits in her mind then she really has forfeited her sanity.

One look at her and one can see that she is just a bitter, miserable person with a huge chip on her shoulder who likes to stir up trouble just for the sake of it.

Pity it wasn't she who resigned.

She's determined to sustain her view that we "pathetic and disgusting". The word "tanking" has become a joke - so she's trying to coin

a phrase that sounds "incriminating" - hence the term "deliberately forfeit" As you point out, that insinuation flies in the face of the facts ......... and highlights just how absurd the whole thing is!!

Anderson called for this ridiculous investigation while Demetriou was away. Perhaps this demonstrated to "the powers that be " that Anderson hasn't got the judgment necessary to climb further up the AFL management ladder. Wishful thinking perhaps - but the timing is interesting. Let's face it, he's just dug the AFL into one heck of a hole

Surely her use of the term "deliberately forfeiting" is slanderous. It's far more pointed than 'tanking'.

Any legal types in the house who might comment on this?

Vincehotboy look at the later part of the 2009 season objectively, we went out of our way not to win.

Leave your MFC blindness aside.

Others did it during that period and it could be said that the league rules encourage it.

However 90% of the Football community ( including me ) believes we tanked.

Don't be blinded by your passion for the Dees.

Perhaps Gary believes it too!

If there is no case to answer Garry should go to town on Wilson.

We wait.

I don't have much time for Anderson, but to him it probably looked like he was being sent a message: "you're not allowed to make decisions on your own, sonny".

He would have felt undermined from above.

Goodbye Adrian. May your successor not make it up as he goes along.

Not a legal type, but I am confident the club will have filed that one away in the memory bank. It's a big statement.

It could come back to bite her big time.

Yes Vincehotboy - except for the fact that Carlton didn't set up a President (Obama?) - I agree with you .................... but that doesn't make Old Dee a fool!!

Ha Ha Biffen

But thanks for the support

[old dee 22,953]

yes u old geeza but i did not start with the gay porn sledge, so i am charming, but he is not. Its not me.

Two wrongs don't make a right

A little advise from an old geeza

You wiil never win a discussion by calling names.

Put up an arguement with substance to support it.

That way people will take you seriously.

Even if they don't agree

[darkhorse72 1,743]

Why would she use the term Forfeiting.

While one posters says i "means to surrender."

In my footy world when you forfeit, it means you couldn't get a team together and the other side wins by default.

In WA amateurs, you get a 100pt and the forfeiting team gets 1 for percentage purposes.

We never forfeited as we fielded teams in all those games.

i will defend my club against anyone who rubbish my club, a true supporter would never rubbish l their club. Its us against them , if u think that we tanked then u should stop supporting the dees, how can u attack the dees, if agree with caro, she never says a bad word against richmond no matter what the facts are. Thats a true supporter.

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

I think we tanked- should I stop supporting my dees too Vincey?

[old dee 22,953]

I think we tanked- should I stop supporting my dees too Vincey?

I think so yes SMF

You are now branded as not a "true supporter"

Welcome to the club.

Perhaps we could start a splinter group called "The Not so True Dees"

We could negotiate a reduced membership fee, say only pay 90% of normal.

The main requirement would be to have a sense of humour!

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

The Not so True Dees. Has a ring to it. At last, a place where us dee fans can go to openly revel in our disgusting onfield performances and worship our bronzed statue of Jordan McMahon.

I think we border-line tanked so I gotta leave games at half-time.

[puntkick 325]

Tis the season to be jolly tralla lalla la la la la la

Now only Vlad & Caro to go !

[jnrmac 19,230]

We didn't tank. Repeat 10 times please.

Tanking is throwing games. We didn't do that and no one can prove it.

[old dee 22,953]

I think we border-line tanked so I gotta leave games at half-time.

We will give you an apprenticeship nutbean

If you promise to not mention Caro once in the next month we will give you full membership.

Becoming a "Not so True Dee" is not something that is handed out on a whim
