Incredible that after 7-8 months of this bullsh!t it's finally coming to head. Whether it's a conclusion or not......

Dee-day has arrived

[diesel 420]

yep agree, take the deal

And what would that be? The AFL can suck off. No investigation or punishment of those who went before us means no deal.

Who knows, this might be just the beginning?

Stand Up MFC. Today is it...

Sometimes you gotta know when to make the deal.

In spite of all fairness, it may be the best outcome we can possibly get.

(Whilst I'd like to do it, I don't think dragging this through court will create the best outcome for the club)

I suppose the fink has his writ all ready to go - LOL

Why court?

The next logical step is taking our case to the Commission. The pros and cons of this should, and probably have been, discussed by the board.

Gee.....I hope so......

Didn't we reply to the report by the investigators??.......The commission then deliberated ......and the results will be known at 2.00pm today.....It is then up to the club to appeal to a court of law if they don't think the decision is fair.....I might be wrong on this.......

[dee-luded 2,959]

Why so?

I remembered you were supporting Fans B-Bobs views of wanting to accept the sanctions & handover our people to the executioner.

Now we are further along the track & the AFL have moderated, & the papers are turning towards our perspectives (interestingly since the AFL have moderated their views).

The 'Team Fan', who wanted us to shed blood within,,,, are now easing off, & 'Fan' suggests he knows who the louses are. If true, I can only assume Fan has an inside channel to the AFL contacts, or to some on our own board with the inside goss.

This would explain him playing the politics & also supporting Kero. a faction within?

Are you avoiding the question ? What is your opinion ? Did we try and lose matches in 2009 ? Come on. You can do it.

No

It's come to this then?

“ You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,

Know when to walk away, know when to run.

You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table,

There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.

[daisycutter 29,600]

If this is really about integrity then the AFL must announce a new Inquiry on tanking across the entire league

Anything less will be a damning indictment on the credibility of the AFL

You know i'm right

Win, lose or draw I reckon this thread might top 4000 posts by the end of the day.

You know i'm right '

I will hold all bets for " yes we are conducting an investigation into Carlton, Richmond, Collingwood, WCE, and GWS'.

I am offering odds of 100 to 1

[Redjacket 756]

There is no way we will take this thing to court.

If we have negotiated this "reported" outcome then we will not be taking anything to court. We would have taken it on the chin like we always do. Sit Demon Sit ... Good Dog.
