the draw doesnt really matter. financial equalisation does. exposure on free to air tv does. it builds memberships and allows kids to support various teams. its a disgrace the bigger, richer clubs get the prime timeslots - it allows them to become bigger and richer - which allows them to spend more money on their footy departments, which makes the team better, which means they get the prime timeslots. a game against a lowly team here or there is peanuts compared to this.

now ive stopped laughing.........no bloody way

in her latest article Tippett legal demand to be set free, Wilson has the following to say regarding Chris Judd and Visy:- "There has been no suggestion that Carlton wrote to Visy to set up the deal." For someone who is meant to be an investigative journalist she is shocking at missing the obvious - which is that Carlton's president at the time, Richard Pratt, was also in charge of Visy and that even now, Mrs. Pratt is the Vice President. Surely, Wilson can add 2+2?

this is conclusive and irrefutible evidence that we tanked in 2009.

What would have happened if we beat richmond that day? We would have gone 5 wins, 3 wins, 5 wins. And missed out on a priority pick. The media probably would have started up about how we actuallydeserved one because we had been so crap for so long.

I also loved her last bit about cameron schwab. Chief executive Cameron Schwab also faces penalties if it is established he communicated any form of instruction to lose games. Replace camerons name with anyone else and it is still true. But she couldnt resist having a go could she?

45 is right. Keros evidence is that dunn said we should win. That seals it for mine. Might as well go and support the roos now, this club is going to die off

the timing of the punishment is irrelevant. this draft or next - due process must occer. (dont get me wrong, i think they are guilty a sin. i also find it EXTREMELY interesting that tippets manager is also tom scullys manager)

there is enough evidence to have a hearing. they will have one. the adelaide people have been charged. they also have a right to defend themselves, and a right to be able to do that properly.

the individuals that have been charged at adelaide need time to prepare their defences. this is absolutely appropriate and reasonable. it would be very unreasonable to do anything other than give them some time to do so. it has nothing to do with the draft etc.

i have so far not encountered one person on social media or comments on the age website that disagrees with martin. if the crowds are falling when they have an extra game and they maximise games for attendances (ie blockbusters at times that people want to go to and average games v interstate teams on sunday arvos), then youd have to think alarm bells are ringing

she might actually have some facts this time.

lookout guys, the sun is coming up, youll all turn into stone.

put IN the 7 or so players who get voted in. the end.

dunno about that. the bombers always come out flying at the start of the year. we tend to wait for them to get to 9/10 wins then wreck their season.

i decided ages ago that she has obviously never been part of a team - she picks up on stuff and makes a big deal out of things that a team player would shrug their shoulders at. i dont have an example but as someone who works closely in a team professionally every day and also has played team sports since the age of 8, i wouldnt want her in my team for anything.

tappy is so big that when he runs he makes the earth rotate.

wilson appears to me to be one of those people that you cannot argue with. no matter how much evidence you provide, to the extent of being obviously 100% correct, she will disagree with you and twist everyones words to suit herself. these people are in need of help.

good. i want a standalone team.

excellent post!

the leadership group SHOULD be voted on every year. no one gets dropped - you get re-appointed according to your work ethic and leadership ability. if these drop off then you should not be re-appointed. this is the only way to keep people accountable. reason for edit: grammar

maybe, just MAYBE, if everything - and i mean EVERYTHING - goes right for us on and off the field, we MIGHT scrape in. ill be happy with 8-10 wins.

wow.

great work jose. exposing her for what she is.

except for the part that we'd won 4 games to that point and the saints had won 19 and were a month from just losing an epic grand final, while we were 2 days away from mad monday.
