AFL investigation


deegirl

Recommended Posts

the whole football public knows that at least 6 clubs 'list managed' their way to priority picks over the last 10 years or so

it also knows the afl somewhat condoned list management practices that were marginal

if the mfc end up wearing all the blame that will not sit well with fans in general when the dust settles

the afl would be deluding themselves if they think making an example of the mfc will settle the issue and make it all go away regardless of whether the penalties are heavy or light

i trust (hope) the fink will aid the afl to come up with a better solution that keeps everyone (well most) somewhat satisfied and we can all move on

Carlton will not get done whilst Fitzpatrick is leading the commission.

It won't happen.

If he thought like that he wouldnt be part of the commission, just another childish statement from WYL.

I dont think its I who's gullible here mjt, of course you have your own flavour of herrings to cook, barrow to push , flag to fly.,....you choose !!

Funny how sfa has happened to Carlscum whilst Fitzy been on watch. Thats not just my observation, nor WYL ( whos quite capable of his own vocals and thoughts , and catergorically not of mine )

To think that such things dont ever happen is quite frankly stupid.

no worries. Give me a better reason Carlton have not been targetted for the 12 week losing streak in 2007 that won them the Kruezer boy..?

They had him penciled in weeks out.

That i know from a Carlton Insider.

believe what ever you wish little man.

My source was rock solid.

We all know you wish Schwab & Conolly to come crashing down.

I am merely asking why the blowtorch has not been applied to Carltank?

Fitzpatrick is a large part of the answer thus far.

I too doubt that Fitzpatrick would let his former affiliation with Carlton affect any decision by the AFL Commision, or AFL employees.

People that constantly look at conspiracy theories, or others' motives have always amused me. I can only assume they're basing their conclusions on what they'd do under similar circumstances.

Every time you post you dig deeper and deeper, the blowtorch is not done yet, only a goof wouldnt figure that out, Fitzpatrick is a professional man, unlike you or me, your 50YRS OLD and you use phrases like Carltank and Meth Coke, how can you be taken seriously?

You have an answer for many things don't you.

And a strange slant on how you view this orb we call earth.

Why DO YOU believe Carlton have escaped any scrutiny on this issue?

I am interested to know as i am sure many 'landers are

Not just scrutiny avoided but recipients of blatant favouritism (visa deal Judd) Even Eddy can't fathom that one.

It's all Kosher and straight up and down at the AFL.

Governments , quangos, clubs and companies have all succumbed to corruption.

The IOC is built on it..... And somehow the AFL flies in clean air ?? Yeah right

I am really interested to learn what the age cut off point for the use of the terms "Meth Coke" and "Carltank" is. I would hate to make such a dreadful faux pas.

Those most keen to suggest all conspiracies and claims of corruption are rubbish often have self-interested reasons for pushing that view - usually because they support the status quo. A more balanced view is that there are many true examples as history often reveals, but clearly not as many as conspiracy crazies believe. Claims can only be judged on the evidence available. That includes lack of action as well as actions taken.

A consideration for those rushing to ridicule both the notion and by inference the noters , of any less than pristine governance and direction by the AFL is the simple reality that the whole competition and its running (at afl level ) is PURE manipulation.

So why is it really such a stretch to invite the thinking that some elements and some governors cross that line differentiating what is acceptable and what ought not be. Keep in mind it's only the AFL itself that defines not only the qualities of that line but where it exists.

The org is run by people. People are fallible. Since the year dot.

The chief of the AFL's salary is dependant on how well the AFL runs, therefore it's not in his interests to see it suffer through scandal.

Ain't that the truth,

but can people handle it?

Not sure old dee, but I reckon AD is a very commercial person and I doubt he will take kindly to anyone interfering with his paycheque.

I don't believe for one minute that Fitzpatrick won't do everything in his power to stop the investigation extending to Carlton and he will have a willing ally in AD who will want to close this issue as soon as he can. If this goes on and other clubs are involved the Government may get involved and it won't be suspensions it may include jail terms for fraud against betting agencies etc.

There's a lot of money bet on football and if it can be shown that betting agencies accepted wagers on fixed matches and they and punters lost because of it who knows where this will go.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    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
