AFL investigation

[deegirl 1,578]

Well, that's just [censored] great, another [censored] leak. Who else does she leak info to?

This place exists for fans to discuss our team and everyone should be encouraged to participate but I've looked back at her posts and they are negative towards the club. I question her motivation and the reasons for her actions. I'd like to know who she hates at the club to put her posts into perspective

Of all the comments that have been made about my posts this is the furthest off the mark. I don't work at the club, don't hate anyone at the club. My motive for posting is to share the info with the rest of you.

As for the negative posts, they're not a hidden clue to my plot to bring down the club.

It's a forum - people give their opinions. And my opinion is we've been an ordinary side for a long time. I'll put my hand up for criticizing Jack Watts, which he deserves, and for saying James Frawley has turned into a lair, which he has. If you don't agree, no worries, but to suggest my posts are part of a long term plan to destabilise the club - you're reading way too much into it.

Of all the comments that have been made about my posts this is the furthest off the mark. I don't work at the club, don't hate anyone at the club. I've got no motive for posting other than to share the info with the rest of you. Do you really think I'd post on here with the grand plan of bringing down the club via some posts on a fan forum?

As for the negative posts - it's a forum - people give their opinions. And my opinion is we've been an ordinary side for a long time. I can't remember all my posts specifically but will put my hand up for criticizing Jack Watts, which he deserves, and for saying James Frawley has turned into a lair.

Again with the negative comments. I can't remember exactly what they were but will put my hand up for criticising Jack Watts

Just remember, deegirl. If you think the club is in trouble, are stating the facts as you have heard them without bias or you think that certain club officials deserve a kick in the pants, it's patently obvious that you hate the MFC. You deserve a full tar and feathering followed by the mandatory departure from whatever town you live in by rail (and I don't mean taking the train).

Keep it coming DeeGirl

I am interested in what you have to say,

If I posted more regularly I'd be familiar with this stuff but the above sounds like a threat. Moderators maybe you could enlighten me?

And yes, it is patently obvious I hate the MFC- hate them so much I've been a member for over 25 years and have turned up to watch them week in and week out.

I'd say that was tongue in cheek and in no way a threat.

It seemed to me he was having a go at others not you.

Hahaha, ok, clearly I missed the tone of the post.

Hearing rumours that the AFL will officially charge the club, Connolly, Bailey & Schwab with tanking. Don't shoot the messanger but my sources are usually pretty good.

As far as I can determine, nobody's been "officially charged" with anything, merely a brief of evidence presented to MFC lawyers. My money's on MFC lawyers having a field day with this one.

The absolute worst outcome from the AFL's perspective is surely for this to get outside the football domain and into the courts. It can only end with the AFL on trial, imo. And Carlton (Kreuzer cup) and others including Richmond will likely be collateral damage.

I suspect that if you posted more regularly you'd know that this place is full of whiny spoilt children who take offence at the drop of a hat and launch into ridiculous tirades and attacks at people who dare to disagree with them. Fortunately there are also people who are able to carry on an adult conversation without screaming abuse at each other, so if you simply skim past the ten-year-olds, you can find some useful and interesting information about the club.

Can we please start dissecting as to whom the two are:

ex assistant coaches

Doc

Prendergast

Chaplain!!!

I need to know who I am to put pins into.

[rpfc 28,779]

Back on point - Prenderfarce and some other git in that meeting attempting to bring down CS or CC are damaging the club and people's lives in the process. Including a coach that I am sure they are using as an excuse to 'tell the truth' because they 'felt for Bailey and the situation he was placed in.'

Feel sorry for a bloke by endangering his livelihood. Amazing...

Does Fan have any idea who the second git is from that meeting?

(Someone might have to reply to this as Fan has me on ignore i think for some half-cooked reason)

No I think we all have Fan on ignore

Does the second person have had to be at that meeting.

Deegirl, you shouldn't feel intimidated about sharing information on here. The concern is more with the fact that some sensitive stuff is still being leaked from the club which many thought was a feature of past administrations.

Whoever gave you the info only got it half right because the club hasn't been charged at all. It's only that the investigation seems to have uncovered a few disgruntled finger pointers who left the club in less than amicable circumstances which allows certain inferences to be drawn about the value of their evidence.

The other thing about this matter is the AFL has chosen to give the MFC and other parties the opportunity to respond before a decision is made as to whether charges are laid. This is important because it will demonstrate to the AFL that the club has some very strong points of defence. I sense this would not have occurred under Adrian Anderson's watch and perhaps this is why he's gawn.

So deegirl. Thanks for enlightening us with your post. It's paved the way for plenty of optimism if only we read between the lines and resist shooting the messenger.

Today's Hun article on tanking (part of season highlights article) seems to be watering down the investigation.

Claims the AFL are backtracking to a position of no case to answer.

There's a definite feeling coming from the press that the AFL wants to whitewash this.

Then how will The Age whitewash Caroline Wilson? The one with blood all over her hands from the hash she did with the knife.

The Age don't care any more. they're becoming a tabloid and joining the gutter press.

Kero will just find another different angle to attack Schwabby. She won't be satisfied until she destroys him.

Sometimes dc you do not have to do anything.

They do it to themselves if you have enough patience.

Don't you believe in Karma or have I got my religions mixed up again?

I found this article difficult to read without having Caro in the back of my mind.

Warwick Green's conclusion:

" it seemed extraordinary that in the very season it changed the system the AFL would choose to poke at an old wound by asking its integrity department to examine how Melbourne performed three years ago.

The AFL may have painted itself into a corner. Is it time to broaden the investigation?

You suspect the only way the AFL can extract itself is to say it thoroughly scrutinised the Demons and found no damning evidence. "
