well obviously the point we'll never agree on is that cheating is not cool, even if it's by one of your own players (who has never gone into battle for the red and blue BTW)

you and stuie are apparently cool with it, each to his own

i'm saying i want him gone because he's a cheat

you're saying you want him to say

how much room is there for misinterpretation

again you need to make up your mind about your own opinion

 

Feel free to link to the post where I said "cheating is cool".

Hypocrite.

Don't tell me i am wrong

my point is straight forward

this trade is a complete crock

you Stuie are a complete fool. 

You're wrong.

 

Can someone please make clear what the penalty against Melksham means with respect to the following:

• is he allowed at the club's rooms (eg, gym) when the rest of the team or club officials are not there?
• is he allowed to see any of the club's officials (eg, physio, dietitian, etc) away from the club rooms?
• can he maintain fitness by playing in any other football competition other than the AFL or VFL?
• can he maintain fitness by playing any other non-football competition (eg, basketball) if he's good enough to do so?

PS: And can Stuie, SWYL, C&B etc, take it outside and stop hijacking this thread.

Wrong because i don't want a convicted drug cheat sitting out of the ENTIRE game for a year that we drafted with pick 25 whilst the CAS hearing were in progress?

Dig another hole.

That wasn't the point of the argument. Not sure if you're just that senile that you get confused and forget things really easily or if you just deliberately change your point to suit what you want to try and say at that particular time.

Exactly. A 4 year contract is a pretty clear indicator of that too.

it's not an indicator of a goddam thing

I think it is an indicator that he is a better footballer than you, what was the longest contract offered to you?

tbh I think the fair thing would be to declare it void. Have history still show that Watson won it but then had it taken off and no official winner for that year.

How is that fair to Cotchin and Mitchell? We need to stop making allowances for cheats.

insane.

if you are NOT OK with cheating, how is it that you are OK with Melksham being at the club?

don't you see how those two two things are mutually exclusive?

So that's a no on finding that quote of me saying "cheating is cool" then? Right...

 

I can see a padlock on this thread soon..

my god. wtf. First of all, I thought most people understand that you don't have to be an AFL footballer yourself in order to comment on AFL footy. Otherwise the whole site should be closed now. Secondly, can you read? Stuie is claiming that a 4-year contract is some sort of 'proof' that Roos and Co knew he was going to get rubbed out. That is obviously complete bullpoo. How does that match your comment? At what stage has anyone questioned Melksham as a player? Seriously you should re-read the posts and apologise, you've completely misfired.

oh and of course stuie likes it. Another poster completely misses the point and he scores it as somebody supporting him. Weak and desperate and typical.

He must not have any association with the football club facilities or their employees / players.

I don't know if he can play amateur sport, but professional sport is a no no.

Haha oh you're so reading my mind "Curry & Beer"....

I actually take a grown up approach to it and say that he did the wrong thing, he's copping his punishment and then I look forward to him coming back and contributing to the MFC.

You can keep your temper tantrums, fist shaking and moral superiority to the confines of the playground.

CAS was always going to come down hard...

WYL, it's impossible to say whether or not "this trade is a complete crock" until Melksham's contract with us is up and we see the output of Mason Redman over the course of his career.

If Redman gets delisted after two seasons and Melksham comes back to be a consistent member of our best 22, then it will be a clear win for us.

I understand how you feel about the Essendon 34, but to say that this trade was bad for the MFC is jumping the gun.

I'd guess that a number of banned players will get together to train and even hire a few support staff (with money coming from unidentifiable sources). I'm sure that will happen for the blokes at EFC and maybe they'll welcome an old mate  Melksam to join them. Those at Port may have to form a smaller group.

No contact for a full year tells me a lot.

Hahahaha this is the best. I love it that your post starts with "my god. WTF" and then has a hissy fit about other people getting "likes" before going for the teenage girl insults at the end.

What a drama queen.

Totes amazeballs. #YOLO

Obviously it's not an ideal situation, but we won't be able to tell who won the trade for years.

I'm not disagreeing with that. All I'm saying is that it's impossible to judge at the moment.
