    While it's titillating for a moment it's a minor issue that is occurring in thousands of workplaces around the country.  It's happening today, tomorrow and will be in 50 or 150 years.

    As usual, it's the parties we don't hear from that are hurt the most.  But that's their business.

    For the innocent victims, such as families, sure. For the perpetrators, not so much. People must always appreciate they have to be held accountable for their actions.

    How hard is it to not [censored] someone else if you're married?! 

    It's pretty hard. My mates a divorce attorney and I told him he should name his boat 'It Was Only The One Time'.

    That's probably what caused the problem in the first place

    Without all the facts, this seems a minor issue in the scheme of things and something that Dill deals with well (think pies).

    If only he were to move so quickly and concisely on the big issues facing the game.

    It's about power discrepancy 

    How much power does it take to keep your legs closed?

    It's about vengeance and money.

    It's about home wrecking.

    The men who dipped their pens in the company ink are not very clever.

    When will women ever have to pay for their mistakes?

    Anyone suggesting the women involved should resign as well are showing a complete lack of understanding of the situation, especially from a legal perspective. God damn it AFL, your execs should know better ...

    press release from Gil McLachlan:

    "The AFL has a deserved reputation in following world's best practices in screwing over our integrity and screwing over our rules. But screwing over anyone or anything that has nothing to do with ratings or profitability is a waste of time and resources and therefore cannot be tolerated. For that reason we are cutting these guys adrift without a second thought. They will have to do something much worse if they expect any loyalty or support from AFL house."

    Was he talking about workplace relations or just making conversation?

    Maybe he was warning you off. Find your own household crockery, young 'un.

    She's not a senior exec. Before you suggest anything sexist, it would be the same outcome if it was a senior female executive with a young male.

    Are you sure about that? Because I'm not.

    Certainly isn't the case with male teachers and female students vs female teachers and make students. There are a lot of double standards with this sort of thing....

    That would be equality.

    The men involved will pay for this severely and the women will make money from it.

    I love the way you assume nothing ever improves.  I'd say the situation where there is an imbalance of power is better today than it was 20 years ago and a damn sight better than in the middle ages - or do you regret the passing of droit du seigneur?  All that damn political correctness.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
