THE BOMBERS' DOPING SAGA - THE FAT LADY SINGS
That medal will be worth a bit on the market in years to come. At worst he still has it and can believe what he wants about who won it. Quiet little pay off maybe?

The No T$ No B$ Thread
This is really a tiresome point. We got exactly what the rules contemplated and provided for in the Frawley situation, nothing more, nothing less. His contract offer from the Hawks, coupled with his age and our ladder position, determined what we got. We did not get special treatment from the league. We got what the rules said we would get. The Lions with 3 flags in a row and another GF in 2001-2014 with a better list than we had, did get special treatment from the league in getting a PP. The media have acknowledged that. No one has explained that.

Happy for Gill to ring Katie to play Women's footy, I was more bemused that he was chasing a 34 year old, who had not played footy, other than one game 10 years ago, for 20 years. She was his tennis coach, but he has probably never seen her play footy, yet rings her to play in the women's league. As to the meeting with the players on the CBA, this is the most important item of the AFL for the year, as it will impact in the future on funds. Gill is a master of "glad handing", he does it all the time, yet could not bring himself to come down to Torquay, to see player delegates who had given up their free time to fly in for the meeting from all over Australia. He is paid a bloody lot of money to do just that. This is actually a strategy of the AFL, to delay talks until the pre season competition and back the players into a corner over striking, which the AFL knows will make the players unpopular with the public. Gill is a dill for not going. How many crappy events does he attend during the year, but can't find a day to attend to one of the most important. While I have no view on the percentage sought by the players, I believe Gill has acted very poorly and Dangerfield is correct in his disappointment.
