"Tanking"


Whispering_Jack

Recommended Posts

Those charges deserve to be fought....that is all i can say...if we do not do it, then the club will remain fractured....now is the time to stand.

Prepare to be disappointed. The club will only be fractured if people decide to put themselves before the club. You want to talk about principles and integrity? Then back the club when it needs it the most, back the people making the decisions and back the coaches/FD/players with the clubs and supporters full support. Don't have a whinge and quit on the club because you're not happy that the club won't cut off their nose to spite their face so that you (and others) can feel vindication and some short-term gratification that taking on the big bad AFL will give you.

Can any one confirm if wormtail is banned from the Melbourne football club?

Caus she should be, and press conferences she attends all her questions should be ignored, the club should tell her, you make shite up anyway so why should be we bother talking to you as you will only make more shite up

Could someone keep the poor people like myself (who don't have Fox Footy or even Foxtel for that matter) updated?

Cheers.

They didn't say anything except to reiterate what was in Caro's article and Robinson said he called Demetriou who said he didn't know anything.

Robinson then said most people would think that is a very light penalty for MFC and Whately said MFC have thought for several weeks they wouldn't lose any draft picks.

FFS this is all supposition from Wilson, the penalties have to come from the commission and they don't meet until Monday.

Stop the BS guys, we need to wait and see whether GM says we have a case to answer and as CW says he is tight lipped. She said there would be an answer today so she made one up. She has lost the plot now.

I get what you're saying mate, I really do. But I think the reality of the situation is that while fighting (something I will back the club 100% if it comes to it) will probably hurt the club with it being played out for so long and so publicly. If there is a way to come out of this with a fine that we can cop and no loss of draft picks then I believe we should accept it and move on. The best thing for the club is to get this done once and for all.

The massive key is that we don't get done for tanking or engaging in match fixing. Because the ramifications of that with the gaming commission would be disastrous.

If we take those penalties we are Tankers....That's my point....We Fight Mate or die

I know this is getting ahead of the facts, but what the hell I only have CW to inspire me:

but I can imagine a $500K fine which is quietly compensated by an extra $500K from the AFL's save-the-poorer-club fund. Anyway, here's hoping that if there is such a fine and it is accepted by the club, something like that occurs.

Don't tell me how to feel mate....CW has jumped before AD so we shall see....WE FIGHT FOR OUR PEOPLE DAMMIT.

The worst thing to come out of that scenario is the fact that CW will be able to gloat over our misfortune and her impeccable sources and unquestionable worth as a sports journo... please don't let it be so!

everyone should settle down, stop being nervous nellies and just wait

don't be spooked by someone who has been repeatedly wrong on this issue (and vindictive)

fmd

What version is this one?

Maybe if you keep on guessing you'll get it right, eventually.

Why should we believe one word that this woman says? Ever again? She has zero credibility and is not a reputable source.

She simply doesn't care if she's wrong. If she's wrong on this she won't care and the public won't care. That's why she's so outspoken. There is no accountability - none.

It's hard to completely ignore her rantings but we should wait until official word from the AFL or the club. She's told too many 'porkies' to be taken seriously again. Take the Schwab example - totally wrong. Any repercussions? No. Will she apologise? No chance.

If we end up in a strong debate / argument over her latest 'piece' she will have won.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    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.
