A quote from Sutherland in the ABC article, ""Adrian set up the AFL integrity unit and that unit is recognised as a gold standard in Australian sport," he said."

Bugger, I've just aspirated again!

He's a lawyer and has experience at what until probably the last year or two was regarded as the most professional sporting league in Australia. Based on that CV he's probably not a bad candidate.

He's left the AFL in time for all the allegations into PED, matchfixing and tanking to blow up. Quite possibly he was pushing for a more in depth review whilst the more pragmatic Demetriou and McGlaughlin were going in a different direction.

Clearly pushing for more depth in review. Because he virtually sat on the information provided by Gerard Healy in relation to the Essendon drug scandal for up to 12 months.

I wonder if CA were aware of that...........

He needs about 5 years in Pakistan to get him up to speed for the job.

Perhaps he'll headhunt Clothesline and Saddam.

Can you imagine a job for integrity in India?!

Bookies there would be betting how long he will last.

AA's Honest, capitol H.

He tried to unpick a hornets nest at the AFL & got weaved into a corner.

Its not AA who is the poison but the intricate spider web of deception thats been allowed to grow, & grow, & grow.

Lets not be blinded by the fallout, & not be able to see the truth.

This Web has been Spun from decades of unbalanced decision making & coverups.

That would be the "fool's golds standard".

They can look forward to their boot studders being outed for $2 bets, with lots of hoopla.

If anyone is looking for a new career.

Apply for an Integrity officer.

There will be oo's of them going around, based on the amount of times I have heard that word.

This stinks. The whole AFL stinks. What about his relationship with the media, namely Caroline Wilson. Is that full of integrity?

So the old firms back in business, a few lovely little Age spin articles to clean up the mess, a few re-adjustments of egos and away we go.

What these people need to understand is that they are meant to be custodians of the game, they are meant to take care of it and pass it on to the next generation in good shape. Demetriou, Anderson and Wilson have shown themselves to be nothing more than self-serving in their actions of late. Self serving. They have poor morals and little integrity.

Our game needs help quick.

GWS has created a big sink hole in the fabric of the game but those at the top have ropes, nets and all sorts of support for that moral vaccuum and they've got a dunny brush and are trying their hardest to push one of the oldest founding clubs down the drain! Then they'll write their own history to say what a great job they've done.

It stinks, it stinks, they stink.

Maybe we can become the Werribee Demons. They might like us then. Build effigies to them out of the mud they let us play in.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
