Cannot open the link.

On the AFLPA site I found a media release containing most of the points mentioned http://aflagents.com.au/news/post/afl_players_ceo_matt_finnis_-_media_statement

Dated 21st August 2013

That is fourteen months ago!

Where are they, would any other union wait years to demand reparation from an employer? Would they?

can read this..sorry Bin...can't find your link to work.

re the above link I find this interesting:

"But it is my job as the head of the Players Association to demand a safe workplace for our players - this is the most basic of rights that our players should be able to expect"

Marvelous sentiment and quite correct, but having uttered it did nothing to follow up...just stood at arms distance. if you really meant it and suspected something wasn't quite right you'd be high tailing it down to WorkSafe and complaining irregardless of whatever the League or Essendon thought or said as neither are above the law and WorkSafe IS the law.

Yes that is the first release I posted. The second came out immediately after the big ACCA news conference in Feb 2013.

And what does a failure to ask for reparation have to do with anything? I was responding to comments that the aflpa were soft on drug use

sorry binmam but you've only responded with their words (which incidentally were the same from many quarters)

but where were their actions?

Ughh. I wasn't commenting on their actions. If I was I'd point out that at the least they had provided medical and legal support. What else should they have done so far for the players?

As long as you haven't managed to vanish up one of your own orifices before Round 1, will remember to give you name check, I still read Demonland, but unless one of the topics really interests me, I don't post, I go past AAMI sometimes exercising, Australian Rugby League squad was training this morning, watched by Kelly O'Donnell and Daniel McPherson, joked they were scouting Cameron Smith for a code change.

iirc the legal costs are provided by essendon which puts them in a strange relationship

what else? well they should have insisted on worksafe intervention at an early stage but bowed to the afl integrity dept

An early attempt a humour?, I stated all along during the season that I didn't think Frawley had decided, I still think that, personally late in the piece I thought he was off to Freo, until Hawthorn trumped them, he is past history now, move on

Who is this????

Fair dinkum unbelievable you people are. Satyr or TDI is a veteran of the Isle of Wight, Glastonbury or some other like phenomenon of the late 60s/early 70s (next best thing after Woodstock and Sunbury) which makes him an absolute legend who deserves to be treated with the ultimate respect and not to be mocked with this Frankie Valli muzak.

You need to honour him with some real bands and singers like T Rex, David Bowie, Traffic, Fairport Convention, Joan Baez and Melanie.

Show some respect.

Welcome back Satyr and good health!

Isle of wight, I had a amazing time there a few years ago at the biggest classic scooter rally. Wish I could go there every year.

Welcome back Saty, you could have just changed your name, didn't need to start again :)

Cream: Too early. We're talking (early) 70's.

Fresh Cream was one of the first LP records I bought myself.

Good News.

Why wait around for preseason to start and have the young blokes(most of the club) down on afl standard for the runs.

Thank god they are doing it of their own free will.

Anyhow the aflpa is one of those unions that does not give a flying [censored] about the rookies and battlers.

It is set up so the top players can screw the comp.

Then why was improving the contracts of rookie listed players one of the key planks of the last EBA?

Nah too late. Cream were active in the mid 60's and had gone their own way by the early 70s.

What I meant. As a sixties' band, Cream were around too early to be considered for events that happened in the 70's.

    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
