WorkCover coming after the MFC?


What

Recommended Posts

Between tanking, new teams coming in and the draft being monopolized, recreational drug use, supplement sagas, player contract uncertainty and dozens of rule changes, its getting harder and harder to love afl. I mean after a round with several close finishes and some genuine excitement back after a season of blowouts and split rounds, its disappointing that again there is an off field issue subtractimg from that. Just a footy fan hoping it gets back to being all about the players sooner rather than later.

Somewhat interesting no interstate clubs mentioned in that Age article. Thought perhaps the two Coastal Clubs might have been mentioned in dispatches.

This is a Victorian Workcover matter and they have no jurisdiction in other States.

ok will we get cleared? im a little surprised to read other clubs names on that list. I mean geelong and hawthorn. Neil Craig now works at essendon he may throw us under the bus.

Anyway its got all essendon fans excited. Somehow I doubt other clubs have done anything like essendon has.

Someone has lodged a request for Work Cover to investigate, anyone can do it, probably some crazy bombers supporter


i know others have alluded to it......but is this genuine or just a pizz-take?

if real, it really reads very amateurish

We are not being investigated mate. Someone has sent an application to WC to investigate all Victorian clubs bar Essendon, any member of the public can do this, It was posted on a website by a bombers supporter who always writes pro Essendon blogs. Its garbage

No worries Daisy. Its not a document from workcover mate, its a document some idiot has lodged with work cover, could be anyone.

oh, thanks for clarifying

so it's not a document from workcover itself

Workcover have unleashed a damning report on Melbourne during the Bailey years.

Apparently we didn't do any.

Some recruiters have also been reported for not working.

We are not being inestigated, An Application was lodged today to ask VWC to investigate all Victorian clubs except for Essendon but noone knows who lodged it. Who the hell is Ian Robinson, amateurish at best. Im betting Robbo did it :). Its a beat up by some desperate Essendon folk, probably a supporter, just an opinion not fact

I believe you have been the subject of some workcover claims Biff, so your experience could prove invaluable.

Some of my employees here at the Gat are prone to lying.

It's a part of their stock in trade,essential in the industry.

You are probably never at work long enough to experience an injury except from the odd RSI pain which is probably caused from your private alpaca work.

It's a beat up. There's a story on the afl website but I'm using an iphone and can't do the link.

All that has happened is some idiot has made a request to VWA to investigate all the other vic clubs. VWA can then choose whether to even investigate at all.

Even if they do, unless a serious oh&s breach has been made all they can do is issue an improvement notice. Only if they don't comply from there can any action be taken.

The whole thing sounds like a [censored] off Essendon supporter with too much time on his hands

I smell Essendon...

Agree

Perhaps the other Victorian clubs should say to Essendon, "You Win! We quit the AFL. Essendon it is all yours." Then they could invite the interstate teams to join a new comp, a sort of super-league, only difference to the current AFL would be no Essendon. Open it up to the TV stations for a new broadcast deal - A one club organisation or the same comp without Essendon

Clearly I am exaggerating, but....

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
