"Tanking"

Featured Replies

Ha, ha ......... and of course there was also the sudden and 'mysterious' resignation of former AFL football operations manager, Adrian Anderson. The casualties mount in AFL Tanking fiasco ..

I was told on the weekend that AA's departure was more to do with AD and AA's lack of career path after GMc was deigned to be AD's nominated seat filler.

 

Very in depth article that one.

If Caro was around at least we'd know what was going on.

Don't let the truth get in the way of the AFL bashing.

I wonder why they didn't see a path for him at the AFL?

Maybe because when he was interim head he kicked off an investigation that will lead nowhere but embarrass the AFL...

lol

Once again with some flaming?

This is the same humour that trolls enjoy.

Just letting you know.

Agree 100%. His departure was certainly a case of odd "timing".

ANyone heard Wellman's name mentioned in all of this? He was at the club with a year to run on his contract and the club let him go without a fight. Just wonderin whether he had an axe to grind....

Fortunately there is always some dope to respond.

BTW, it's probably a true statement. I know many here can't get past her "editorial" comment or inflamatory style but the lack of information since her articles stopped has been very frustrating. We've basically got no idea what's going on and we would if she was still around. I'm not sure we'd like it but at least we'd know.

I'm not spooked by the information.

 

Weve got no real idea because the beaks are all keeping mumm about just about everything which youd expect them to until they see the whites of Vlad's Imperial eyes.

And somehow Kerro would spirit away the facts ?? ffs...gimme me and others a break !!

You think I am spooked by her misinformation? She didn't know that the meeting was a routine MC meeting and that it was in a building nicknamed the Vault when she asserted that we had a 'codenamed' meeting to discuss Tanking...

You have tied yourself to her claims and that is fine by me but don't expect anything other than ridicule and distrust when you say how much of a great job she is doing and wonder aloud about the lack of information gathered in her absence.

I think you are confusing speculation with information.

She wrote her damning editorial upon her fallcious 'report' and I am certain if she had her time again she would not have been so vociferous.

But she, and her flunkies, are in too deep now and anything that happens now is either testament to her bullishness or a cover up intended to save face.

That isn't journalism - that's not reporting the news, it's designing the news and massaging information to fit a narrative.

Keep up the good work, Fan.

There's been plenty of information in her absence imho.

Pierik's articles may be 95 per cent cut and paste but the top two or three lines on each have been informative - the focus on fumbling, the scrutiny on Jack Watts, and today's article - with quotes from a legal source - about the different ways we might respond / defend ourselves.

I'm still of the belief that Caro was briefed by the 'disgruntled' elements in (or formerly of) the club, while Pierik is clearly being fed by the MFC. ie it was Caro for the prosecution and Pierik for the defence.

i was hoping to wake up to news that we had no case to answer :(

lol

I can't understand why a Melbourne Football Club Supporter would deliberately try to antagonise other Melbourne Football Club Supporters; each to his own I guess.

Yeah, but I'm a cynic.

We found out a heap about the nature of the investigation and how what was found out was proposed to be parlayed into possible charges. I reckon the reason we don't hear from Caroline is that her analysis of the whole thing was subjective and horribly wrong. She is probably crossing her fingers that it's all over before she gets back to work.

I had no idea what was going on when she was writing articles. Nothing has changed since she went on holidays.

We certainly have grown the amount of negative political spin doctors around here in the last few months.

They know who they are...THE MFC has said nothing as far as i am concerned.

Nor has Wilson..of any substance...

I can't understand why a Melbourne Football Club Supporter would deliberately try to antagonise other Melbourne Football Club Supporters; each to his own I guess.

I second that.

I'd also hazard a guess that whoever was feeding CW information has now seen how much damage it could do the club, rather than just the individuals, and subsequently The Age's sources from within have dried up.

Or the club itself has restricted the number of people with insight into the finer details of the matter, as a result of previous leaks.

So I'm not allowed to say that I think if Caro was still reporting the situation we'd know more.

How on earth is that antagonising MFC supporters?

I would hope our legal representatives have told Wilson & co to stop writing their opinions as fact in the press otherwise they will be legally challenged.

Wilson would be walking a thin line if my legal sources are correct in what they are telling me so far.

She has been on holidays a long time.

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
