"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...........

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.

I just aspirated my morning coffee!

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!

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
