Is there any evidence, we just don,t know?

Interesting point on draft tampering. You are right, the AFL draft tampers with its fixture, allowances,extra large lists for some, etc.

Also resting players affects matches and is draft tampering as well. Taking players off late in a game is also affecting results and would be draft tampering.

The rules and definitions are basically flawed and the AFL wouldn't, want them exposed.

Not to mention less than 6 day breaks between games.

Yes I covered that in the word fixture, with its myriad of advantages and disadvantages.

I think the word fixture is meant to mean " arranging a list of games " not " assisting with the fixing of them".

Titan there are question marks after each of my statement. I was asking H_T questions.

I can't prove we tanked (subject to the definition) but you can't prove we didn't. That's why there is discussion. My views are in my penultimate post. That's my view.

You're kidding, right? You're saying that the fact that no one can prove we didn't tank is a reason to say we tanked?

Nah, surely you're kidding.

Surely.

First of all, there's the '3 minutes of fumbling', now it's the supposed 'tanking' in a game we actually won .

You've got to wonder whether Vlad read over the 800 pages of 'evidence' . Or maybe he did, but it's hard to imagine someone of Vlad's street smart ways letting both of these utterly absurd accusations go through .

Both the fumbling bit and 'tanking win' bit couldn't be too difficult to disprove so why on earth are they part of the 800 page dossier? Why would you weaken your own case?

We could use these 2 ridiculous 'charges' as a way of breaking down the whole case . Use their own evidence against them . All accusations contained in the 'tanking win' could be disregarded in other games that have been looked at and if they've mentioned 'fumbling' in other games then all 'actions' related to fumbling could be disregarded . (if, of course, we first disprove intentional fumbling and have the 'tanking win' disregarded)

Just use your imagination on what fumbling is connected to - one example is : we fumbled the ball, they picked it up and kicked a goal ^_^ With regards to the 'tanking win', anything they mention in that Port game (for instance, some positional moves) could therefore be disregarded in other games (losses)

If one more 'absurd' charge happens to surface then this whole saga is going to look like more of a farce than it already is .

Things go quickly when you're fired up. I should've been doing my real job as well...

Media scratching the surface for Dees tanking evidence

I've just slapped it on my blog as a draft.

Need to read through it all and finish it off with another par, but want to send this on tomorrow. Feedback (some of it) welcome.

Couple of spellings, Col 3 "math" was other one I saw.

Great start and the facts against the [censored] the Hun highlighted is mind boggling. How can they get away with making such false claims?!!!! Robbo dropped the week prior?! Sylvia was in middle of 3 match ban?! F me. Is there no media watchdogs?

Why is that?

It just means we comprehensively beat his teams when we played them.

We embarrassed them.

Maybe you've interpreted it a different way, but I didn't say I beat him up, or bullied him, or used dirty tactics against him.

So many people with comprehension issues these days...

Anyway, the guy was a flopper, consistently tried to milk frees, ducked his head, took short steps and was a smart arse to boot.

So that's what I think of him.

I am not sure it was every relevant what you did at bball and I did note you did said "Has been from a young age when I used to beat up on him in footy & basketball."

And you and Jay may have more in common than you think.

Get set for fumbling to become a stat this season . Teddy Hopkins will be salivating at the chance to add another item to his 'Champion Data' system .

Dream team participants will be having nightmares trying to figure out which players are the 'fumble kings' . The fumbles category might end up rivaling the 'Key Performance Indicator' for top billing .

It wasn't really relevant, it was self-indulgent.

And if you don't understand the vernacular, it's not my problem.

But it doesn't necessarily mean what you may think it does.

And you and Jay may have more in common than you think.

A bit like you and Kim Jong Il..?

You would have to think that it would be in Melbourne's best interest to get this matter finalized, so I would hope that they don't wait until the end of the month to answer the allegations. If they have to wait until the commissioners meeting then its out of our control but hopefully they can get it under way before then.

God knows it will reduce the angst on this board.

Would like to think it was out of the way before we hit the NAB cup. With the evidence to date you would have to think it will be a distant memory by then.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
