Just following the Drug Lords lead there WJ.

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story or two.

Are you suggesting that we didn't know the risk involved in choosing an Essendon player who was among the 34 players facing charges?

Is that not the truth Mr Frog?

If we didn't know it we're fools. If we did know it and went ahead anyway....we're..... Hmm..still fools.

Air Canada isn't that flash. They have very little competition within Canada. They regularly stuff up. Ask any Canadian..esp those servicing the industry. The shuttle driver just rolled eyes.."Air Canada eh....do it ALL the time" . There are worse airlines. United comes to mind lol.

I am a Canadian :)

Generally they're very good internationally, but domestic is hit and miss I guess. Anyway, at least you didn't have to deal with United!

Nice....lol

International OK/ not bad.  Domestic ??? Yeah ...can be roll the dice. The ticketing clerk tried to rebook 5 of us on r different flights via 2 different layovers on two different days. The manager I requested saw it differently... Eventually... 3 & half later.  If they had seen reason a bit quicker we might have made the hotel before the kitchen closed.

I like Canada. But wasn't impressed with AC.

Anyhow....how's them Dees :)

So it looks like essendon is allowed to use top up players, can we then do likewise should melksham have to sit out part of the season?

All will be revealed in the fullness of time I imagine. But not sure who we'd top up with ... give James Magner another run? Come back Mark Jamar, all is forgiven?

Not at all WJ.

My comment was purely based on my desire to see the Drug Lords pay for their actions and not on any legal opinion.

Bloody good question and I think we will find out too.

Very interesting question. If we both are allowed top ups, who gets first choice?

I reckon they would just allow us to elevate a rookie. Which would mean michie. Not a bad replacement

What about White or Wagner, both rebounding defenders! Maybe the MFC FD had an emergency plan after all!

We're allowed one upgrade prior to round one anyway, so if the AFL were to allow us a bonus upgrade then two of White/Wagner/Michie/King would be on the senior list.

I'd still like a top up player to substitute for Melksham should he be suspended. It wouldn't be fair for the Bombers to be allowed to add players to complete their list while we are a man short (even with the rookie upgrade). All hypotheticals at this stage.

Heres where your point has its  fatal flaw. You're putting "fair" and the AFL into the same sentence and they're oxymorons

NO Clubs should be allowed players to complete their lists, particularly Essendon! They haven't got 34 to replace any longer (i.e. 12 only) so they still have enough players remaining on their list to field 22 plus still have emergencies! Further they have been beneficiaries of some very low draft picks last year plus they benefited from trading 5 of their affected played so effectively they have traded off the risk/penalty to opposition Clubs.                   

As for the five players who are now with other Clubs, the MFC FD knew the risk associated with Melksham (as did Port Adelaide and the other Clubs effected). A penalty is not a penalty if the parties get compensated for their misdeeds (or, in our case, for our calculated gamble in trading for Melksham)!

That depends entirely on what was agreed between the AFL and the MFC when we selected Melksham (which we don't know).  If it was agreed  we'd be compensated in some way by the AFL if we took him, then we'd rightly expect that compensation if required.  Just a part of the 'calculated gamble'.  Maybe we wouldn't have taken him without that assurance.

And, if you remove the word "fair", you also have to remove the "oxy" component of the last word.

Surely, Foxtel must put on a special edition of AFL360 for the final verdict?

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
