Stiff Arm

I know plenty of people who record different conversations for many different reasons, both in person and online. Often they screen grab as well. Might be to remember info later on, might be to take notes for minutes or record who was there, or it could be to cover their [censored]. I've personally done that in review meetings, recollections of what is discussed can vary. In this case, they certainly wouldn't have known what was to be said in advance. However, it's not an uncommon practice. Again, let's not blame the whistle blower. They're not the dh who couldn't control the meeting and it's content. *looking at you, Richo*

The level of detail in Morris' story makes me think someone has recorded the call Do we really want to hear the other side of the story? The club has already backpeddled with a Claytons apology (pardon the pun, younger posters may not get the reference). Careful what we wish for! Sounds like a bunch of kids running the club. We're gonna pay out again for another dumb move.

This might have been raised with the club after the call happened in February, it's quite possible that contacting the press 6 weeks later is a result of the club's response being unsatisfactory With all due respect, I doubt the club would deal with it appropriately, given 3 of its 4 most senior representatives were involved. We don't have a great history of communication under pressure If the AFL were involved, they would've 100% covered it up at all costs. They only care about loss of reputation And the AFLPA do not represent Sachi Dade or the player's partners and cannot act on their behalf I agree that this press does not assist May, Dade or their daughter in keeping out of the media spotlight. They may not have consented to the phone call, nor the press attention We effed up in a very amateur way. The torch should be on Richo, Guerra and King, not the whistleblower

I disagree, Dazzle. Without knowing the details of what was said, it sounds like a highly uncontrolled and unprofessional event with no means of really knowing who might be listening in. Can you imagine the ramifications if someone had recorded the conversation? And that's still a possibility. Apparently no welfare people involved, getting sidetracked and divulging highly sensitive information about alleged dv. It's a balls-up! Was Sachi Dade made aware of the call beforehand? Did she consent? Sounds like someone needs to get their rrse kicked. Even a low grade manager in most workplaces would know this rings alarm bells, let alone senior management of a very public football club While I don't usually like club leaks, in this case it's probably necessary to pull a few heads in. One person's leaker is another person's legitimate whistle blower. If this is true, maybe it's time up for Richo?

Surely Voss gets sacked if they lose to the Roos. Surely.

Not a broken bone, according to scans It does pay to read posts

Never had an iPhone. Trident member for many years and didn't know extra GA tickets were on offer. Thanks for the info. Apple are so insidious, I'd be surprised if they don't sponsor the AFL and give free products to Andrew Dill and his team

Yes Luce, I too have an android. I could find my tickets in ticketmaster app but they could only be accessed by the mfc app using an Apple wallet. Seems like an obvious problem that ticketmaster and the AFL should've foreseen and dealt with before R1. Not everyone has an iPhone! So much for digital entry being smoother 🤷‍♂️ The very helpful person at the membership booth printed off my ticket, but couldn't figure out why they weren't transferring from ticketmaster to my mfc app. She reset my membership account but it still wouldnt work. Close to an hour wasted in a line I'm getting my 16 game membership card mailed out. Takes 2-3 weeks, hopefully before the Carlton away game. Will be using this in future, I suggest other android users do as well

I know the post game presser hardly displays the coaches at their finest, but I just watched Ross the Boss' presser, and what a rambling fool he is. Full of topic switches strange metaphors, blame shifting and no credit where its due to Melbourne. If his goal is to lead the press towards utter confusion about the Saints, he succeeded. My drunk uncle makes more sense than him

Can I suggest Latrelle as a wonderful name? 😉

Can't access my ticket on the app. Phone updated, app updated, passwords checked, even re installed app. Says no tickets available Will go to membership tent well before game time to sort out Shoulda got a card instead of going digital 🤷‍♂️ This happens every year. You'd think I'd have known better

Sounds like Bailey's skin is as thin as that of some posters on Land 🙄

I can tell you that Ben's nickname is Trumpet

Greeves or NHH please 🙏

Eg. West Coast bid on 4 academy/fs picks in top 17, which gobbled up a lot of picks to match

Other picks before were used by clubs matching academy/fs bids. Largely GCS picks

Greaves please 🙏

Nairn still on the board, picks being gobbled up in bid matching, which brings our 37 forward. Shame Lindsay was grabbed before our next

Based upon online highlights, I agree. Lindsay's look much better IMO. The WA factor scares me too Having said that, a highlight reel doesnt show anywhere near the full picture, so what the f would I know 🤷‍♂️ In Taylor we trust 🤞

That would be great for us, but Carlton still have to find the points for Dean. Not quite sure of the rules, but don't they need to surrender a 1st round pick if he's bid on in 1st round? Or is that for next year? 🤔

I think Nairn's kicking is pretty ordinary, both set shots and field kicking. Looks a bit like Marty Hore's action, only not as good. If he's a bottom ager, there still significant development he can do on an AFL list in that area. His strengths are that he gets the ball a bit in the right spots, he's a good mark for his size, is clever around the contest and can kick a goal or two. To me theres a bit of a project player about him, but is that worth pick 7 or 8? And I dont think we've mentioned Emma Quayle at GWS enough of late 😎

Hoping Lindsay is one of our picks. Whilst he is not a contested ball winner, he goes when it is his turn, especially for a mark. He's not soft. Kicking and decision making is sublime, which would come in very handy off half back Also hoping we do GCS F1 and maybe our pick in 30s for something in the teens for Pickett

Steele is a leader and knows how to get it and kick a goal. Right now he's a better option than Clarry. Clarry will run amok at GWS, and im not talking about on-field.
