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!

    "Adrian set up the AFL integrity unit and that unit is recognised as a gold standard in Australian sport," he said.

    I shudder to think what the silver and bronze standards are like.

    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...........

    I wonder whether he will get sacked if he uncovers any lack of integrity.

    He would struggle to find any integrity in World Cricket.

    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.

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
