Many thanks for providing the link.

It has not raised my opinion of CW.

I am grateful to GL for trying.

I am content to be labeled "rabid" for the reasons espoused by Redleg

I am a most proud RABID Supporter.

C W can get stuffed...Word is G Lyon was furious after the show..

I suspect most of us are rabidly running out of patience and want this over !!

Just got an email from the club for a special deal on a Herald Sun subscription.

Didn't take long for the Age to be left eating dust.

Not such a bad comment. In the past our supporters have been depicted as Range Rover drivers, off to the snow, with patches on the elbows of their jackets. To now be described as rabid supporters, is clearly a description of a passionate following of a team that stands for something. I can live with that.

Fair point and well made.

When I read about being "rabid" I dropped my thermos and broke it, as well, I burnt a hole in my tartan rug, with my cuban cigar. Off to the club for a cognac now. Toodle pip!!!!

I'll take:

Schwab: no charge

Bailey: irregular activities, no firm evidence, no charge

Connolly: Bringing game into disrepute with threats relating to tanking - 6 months and $50K

MFC: Bringing game into disrepute for not reining Connolly in - fine $300K

No way, I'd take this

How can you tarnish the reputation of the AFL with a few statements behind closed doors. I bagged the AFL over dinner last night ......... if they had the restaurant bugged, I might be up for $50k!!

Given that legal fees must be near enough to $500k, that makes a total fine of $800 - or do you mean that they'll give us $200k. (No fine thankyou!)

Mark Stevens‏@Stevo7AFL

Do not expect any Demons tanking announcement today .. Will roll into another week

Extraordinary

I guess it will take a few days after agreeing on the outcome - to come up with an agreed set of words

I can't even think about the NAB Cup while this is dragging. I'm thinking long-term ........... does that mean I'm tanking?

Come back in seven months and I'll let you know. Or not.

Don wasn't stressed. He was looking very relaxed.

Now...go write 800 pages of

" I must not Tank or tell bad jokes "

" I must not Tank or tell bad jokes "

" I must not Tank or tell bad jokes "

Like i said earlier, walked past don today, he took a deep breath to, he didnt look well, obviously its a thankless task at the moment, as everyone knows i have had a bit to say on this topic, sometimes you dont realise the countless hours that other people put in, hopefully we beat the bastards.

Only just got to see the shrew on Footy Classified. Now let me see if I have got this right. This Dowager of Armadale says that DM is wrong in his media release, because she never said that what she wrote formed the MFC's official response, but rather, what she cited was an "unofficial" defence, which she has come to know, due to the "people" she speaks to at the Club.

When challenged by Garry Lyon, as to why she didn't address the "official" response, she turns to the weak kneed defence, that GL has no credibility on this issue, because he is too close to the Club. Simply breathtaking logic.

Also, I must say I took some comfort from Gillon McLachlan's statement, which was part of a clip they played on FC, that the AFL did not want this difficult issue to be played out in the media.

Dowager Of Armadale.... DOA..... Dead On Arrival. She shall here by be known to myself as DOA. Thanks you sir.

Who knows maybe his day job is causing him some deep breathes.

CW again

Caro sticking to her guns.

Just heard that news on the end of 10 sport. Well Im happy with that outcome. No draft picks lost and a $500,000 fine can be wiped out quickly. Chris Connolly well if he has to face charges than so be it. As long as Neeld doesnt suffer through loss of picks then the punishment sounds fair.

Just hope Caro is right on that story.

While Fairfax Media could not confirm the exact nature of the findings against Melbourne

Interesting how Caroline Wilson's name is at the top of the article but the qualifier of 'Fairfax Media could not confirm' is in the text.

Shows how much faith they have in her sources.

No, she just says that when she wants to avoid using the perpendicular pronoun.

Perhaps she'll start referring to herself in the 3rd person next.

You know, to separate the woman from the writer.

Not even going to read it. She has no credibility. Might was well go and read the pyongyang times.

I dislike adding hits to the Age website now and especially to a Wilson article.

But at least it gives an outlet for my rage until the season starts and I can direct it over the boundary.

This place helps somewhat too.
