Redleg

But I do.

Agree.

Why?

Wonder if there is any connection to Anderson going and the tanking inquisition. Anderson instituted it on Brock's say so while Andy was away.

Do they have a pick in the PSD though?

The whoopee cushion.

I think you will find the posts are all about "something."

Another deal that didn't go our way.

Big difference in cases. AFL always said don't cheat on contracts and salary cap, that is an offence and you will get hit hard, unless you are the Crows. With "Tanking", the AFL ( CEO and Footy Manager) have said all along that what we did was OK and has been done ever since footy started. It is called "List management and Experimentation". That has been ticked off several times already. To now say it is an offence will see litigation come long and hard, as well as more from the Bookies and Punters. Andrew will be in a Court for weeks getting no work done. Then the other clubs will get dragged in. This is not what the AFL wants or needs at this point in time.

Think the coach said we would be taking at least one youngster as a rookie, so if we take Hannath the next pick will be a kid.

That wouldn't worry me. I am just in a relaxed position over the "inquisition" at the moment. Surely we are now into the final year or two of the "inquisition" and I can see it being over, certainly by the end of next year. While the "inquisitors" still have to interview several boat people, the last 4 Australian Prime Ministers, Brynne Edelsten, Hamish and Andy, the South African Cricket team, Dick Smith, Kieran Perkins, Johnny Farnham, Tina Arena and Kylie Minogue, AC DC, Russell Crowe, Israel Folau, the Bananas in Pyjamas, Bindy Irwin, Hilary Clinton, Germaine Greer, Rolf Harris, Lou Richards and a host of other relevant people, it should be only a matter of time until it is concluded. I have heard they are also examing the computer records of Microsoft and re reading the Australian Constitution to see if they have overlooked anything. Yes it should all be finished soon.

Waiting for the spotlight to go back on us over the tanking inquisition.

If we draft that Hannath as rumoured, we must surely be one of the tallest clubs in the AFL.

Have told Mrs. Redleg to go out and chase down the best banana bread she can find.

Well you should be, because the Age has defamed us several times despite their legal vetting.

I am going to treat my myself to a banana souffle. Will probably have a banana fritter at the local chinese restaurant sunday.

Disgraceful slander of a magnificent thread WJ, I will be speaking to Finkelstein QC on monday. Thanks Nasher, for bringing back the thread. So many peoples' lives have now been enriched again.

I can see we need the original thread back NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, appeal dismissed.

Don't think that is correct. They actually lose their two first picks, but can trade their players for first or second round picks. They don't get to trade the picks they lost. However, the advent of free agency softens the penalty enormously. The loss of Tippett frees up so much space, they could outbid everyone else to get the best couple of free agents, that might have in ordinary circumstances cost them their first picks anyway.

Obviously the loss of the thread is affecting you.

No I dont. I was discussing with someone the tanking issue and his view was that the AFL couldn't find it proved, as it would be a minefield in relation to the gambliing that went on. Litigation could block the courts forever.

Nasher, don't worry about the bloody cricket, get over to the Melbourne Demons board and restore the deleted "No T$ no BS " thread which has been deleted. That is an event that is affecting Australia.

Mystery of the deleted thread may be solved. It was WJ's computer that did the deleting. Apparently WJ had some IT guys come in and service his office computer and he thinks they may have deleted the Demonland thread somehow. Nasher, what are you doing, get the thread back. We haven't heard "boo" from you on this most important Demonland event.

Thought I would blow my own trumpet. This is what I posted on another thread this morning. "Don't think Crows will cop the iron fist. I predicted earlier that they would be fined the amount of the 3rd party payment $300k and I still stand by that. 2 years of first and second round picks was on the cards and they may do better as they handed in a 3rd rounder with their first rounder this year. They were late round picks as well. Tippett will cop half a season and end up at Swans on the money he wanted and they will have him for free, a huge win." Anyone want to know the tattslotto numbers for this weekend?
