That St Kilda and Melbourne have pursued the two Jakes so strongly suggests to me that there might be a belief, at least within those two clubs, that the players will be found "not guilty" (I know that's not the actual finding, but I'm sure everyone knows what I mean). I admit its conjecture, but if the clubs had good reason to believe the Essendon players will not be punished, I would have thought not trying to procure Essendon talent would be a dereliction of duty.

nope, i'm not sure what you mean

 

If the AFL and Ess don't have some agreements going down (poor choice of words) I will eat my Kaspersky.

Are St Kilda and Dees patsies so far. Have clubs received documentation to help Ess out. Something like pick a player reduce the burden.

Can our new player be stopped from playing FOR US or not? Who is running the show for next year?

Our new player may be banned from playing any AFL, not matter the level or team. That includes local comps, VFL, or AFL. It is not a sanction on the club, yet, it is a sanction on the player. They may also be banned from training or having meaningful contact with the club, i.e having training routines put in place. The possible sanctions are not mickey mouse stuff, as much as the AFL would like that to be so.

This has run through my head at times when I'm trying to figure out why a club would take the risk.

No one can say whether or not the EFC players will serve suspensions so for the life of me I don't understand why we would take the risk.

There must have been some pretty serious risk analysis done by us (I would hope), would love to see it.

It may eventuate that what ever Essendon get to help them if they are missing a big chunk of their list will also be offered to clubs with EFC players on their list. i.e. we get to replace him for the suspended period with a VFL player or the like. Welcome back Magner!

I'm sure he is in the benefits column of the risk analysis.

If Jake is suspended for any length of time, is he still entitled to be paid? If so by whom, Dees or Dons?

Definitely not Dee's.

Forget the payment.

How will the afl or essendon compensate the dees for the draft pick/list spot?

I actually put that one into google translate.......even they couldnt figure it out Biff....my latin needs work.

For some cheap laughs, put some phrases through google translate (any language) and then translate them back into English.

Googolus non grata verba?

Scullius voldemort.

Self flagellation por no choosy Ollius Wines.

Serious error. As Picket will tell you, "In Vino Veritas", hence, pluralising Vino, "Self flagellation por no choosy Ollius Vina."

Pick 25 for a player who could potentially miss the next 2 years of competition.

A huge risk. I hope a plan B is part of the deal if a verdict of guilt is given

It is a disgrace that ANY Essendrug player was able to enter in to any trade deals.

Means only that Essendrug wash their hands of responsibility one by one....

The AFL already has a suitably opaque policy around the provision of Priority/compensation picks.

The only example they have given is following the death of a player. It doesn't take too much to extend that scenario to a player unavailable for 2 years.

nudge...nudge...wink...wink.....

When in doubt, just copy it to Google search ('the disease worsens with the treatment' - Virgil). If it's not an obscure or vernacular or other expression that escapes the kinds of school level Latin dictionaries some of us still have lying around then Google might at least direct you to some vulgar or salacious site (highly likely where Biff is involved, I presume).

The Urban Latin Dictionary is a real opticus overta.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
