Will Buckley buckle under pressure and admit the buck stops with him for bucking the protocols?  Buckley’s I’d say. Anyway it will cost him big bucks.

Eddie McGuire is having the worst season for a club president in recent memory.

He would be delisted if he was a player.

As much as they are ambulance chasers why a great quote to stir the pot by Purple.

Looking forward to watching Fox Footy re-runs by mid August.

Lets hope they play the first 2 finals from 2018 on repeat....

Apparently the AFL have stood down Mitch Cleary after he posted Cotchin's wife's insta story on Twitter.

Not that we really believed it in the first place but...

There goes the idea that AFL media were independent and the AFL would not expect any favours.

 

A disgraceful decision from a corrupt organisation in the AFL.

Mitch is one of the more respected journos going around and love reading his content. Always good around the trade and draft period also.

[censored] you Brooke Cotchin.

I like Mitch Cleary. Feel for the bloke. There are a lot more grubby journalists out there. I hope he finds another gig.

Does anyone actually believe that any media folk are really unbiased and fearless, or as the ABC charter says “without bias or agenda”????

Pretty petty on the part of the AFL. 

No wonder we can’t believe much that we hear or read anymore.  No trust.  
 

And I haven’t listened to any AFL today - has anyone anywhere had a go at Eddie’s unbelievable (yes, even for him) hypocrisy?

Eddie’s exact quote. 

He reminds me so much of Trump.

Wow. A new low for the AFL. I feel some litigation coming on from Mitch.

And not surprised that bimbo Brooke Cotchin broke the rules so blatantly.  [censored] her and her dopey husband.

Obviously Brooke is annoyed that the 'rules' stop her as an Instagram 'influencer' getting free stuff in return for talking products up. It is the new grifting. Just pay like everyone else does.

To ease you into your Monday morning.....

Collingwood a laughing stock.

'Poor' Brooke and Trent They are doing it tough says Hardwick

I bet it isn't as tough as Mitch Cleary stood down for doing his job, a job he may not get back. 

Whateley was scathing this morning:

“There’s a couple of layers to this. There’s no understating the tension that has existed between the three parties in this – the Cotchins, Richmond and the AFL,” he said.

“Part of the resolution was that the family would not be named, not withstanding Brooke Cotchin had published her own material in the public domain.

“It had been mentioned previously on radio and then Mitch Cleary put it out there.

“I think there’s every reason behind the scenes that prompted a level of fury and the AFL flinched.”

It sounds like Richmond lent on the AFL to take action against Cleary.  Shameful for the AFL to have caved in to the pressure. 

Ms Cotchin willingly went to the beautician, willingly posted to social media then cries foul.  Wear the consequences and don't go after an innocent person.

 

I would have a some level of sympathy for the Cotchins if it hasn't been posted by her on Social Media.

Generation Me. 

Somewhere former Demon Clint Bartam is laughing his [censored] off.
