The comments about Isaac Smith regretting going to Jee-long instead of Melbourne didn't age well.

2022 ... premiership medal ... Norm Smith medal.

He was absolutely brilliant in the 2022 GF and he would’ve been such an asset for us on the non Langdon wing last year.

Our club picking up Lever rather than this tool showcases why we will get a premiership before those muppets

Doesn't the club have a wine sponsor? Surely a prize is in order because this post has aged superbly.

(Tool in question was Stringer)

The capital they were getting was in the 100's of millions and company was valued in the same range. I would suggest he has sold a few of those shares along the way when they were flying and he is still very well off after a 1 mill fine ... just me guessing

The knocks on Joel as a player are a bit unwarranted IMHO.  Yeah, he wasn't any superstar, but I generally thought he was a pretty honest player who had a fair dinkum crack.  Can't comment too much on the honesty side of his business dealings, but it almost seems like ASIC etc going after a soft target.  Just my perception based on bits and pieces of reporting over the years, but I think some of the multinationals and even the Trumps, Zuckerbergs and Musks of this world probably regularly deal in more deceptive behaviour with intent, but are just better armed with expensive lawyers, better at covering their tracks and perhaps more cunning and better liars.

What occurred at Nant was outside of ASIC’s charter.
