Robbo would be pleased to hear you say that B)

Ah, on that sub species of brick, I think you will find the Chinese beat the Romans by about a 1000 years Edit: your post changed before my eyes and you beat to it....cheers The Persians and Babylonians also fired colored bricks for decoration but I suppose you couldn't call it substantial

Sorry if i mixed you up with another poster Billy Can't be bothered going back thru posts

By shifting goal post Billy I was referring to you seeming to back off the 'ethical' argument with respect to differentiating between money-in vs money-out, that was all

BB I hope you are not suggesting the Romans invented the brick?

hmmm, seems you are shifting the goalposts now Billy. But hey that's ok I think economically that EW was always a risk for a large 3 year sponsorship. When you factor in what they were offering other sponsors it was a big grab for what was really just another dot.com company banking on making billions in the future with a one-trick-pony. There was always a big risk (even ignoring Polis's past activities) that this could easily go pear-shaped. But was due diligence done? Difficult. You keep saying how 'big' MFC was compared to rebels, etc. but how 'big' really do you think a $30M company like mfc is? Well in the scheme of companies it is [censored]-small and has limited resources so it is reasonable to expect that they took some of their diligence by observing the other companies prepared to do business with EW. May be in hindsight not good enough, but a sacking offence? Maybe not on its own, but if symptomatic of other poor choices then maybe. You and I just don't know enough of what goes on inside.

Simply because if you say EW is unethical, then TruEnergy should be concerned as to whether the new customer has been signed under false pretences or not. If EW was misleading customers to signup with TruEnergy (could be because e.g. TruEnergy pay a bigger commission etc) then it DOES become TruEnergy's issue because EW are acting as an authorised broker for them That is why there really is no difference ETHICALLY whether the money is flowing in or out There may be a difference economically but certainly not ethically

I too query the list savoydee. I think a lot of the problem with the list is above the shoulders These guys are full time professionals with an opportunity of a lifetime. Surely when skills are so bad, you would expect them to work overtime on their skills (and other aspects) and improve them. You don't always have to have coaches standing over you to do these things. They are elemental and basic and they have all the time in the world Sadly I think too many are just happy to pick up their cheques and lack the real hunger necessary If their application can be turned around there is still hope for many of them

don't get your knickers in a knot then Hose its a forum go and start a blog somewhere and preach to yourself and your aliases

some of the best and largest companies in Australia have had issue with ASIC at times (both proven and eventually dropped). this in itself (and i stress in itself) proves nothing and anyway ASIC has not made any findings of guilt/innocence yet re EW not defending EW at all or their past track record but trying to put ASIC into context

or maggots picking over a corpse?

Seems Caro is no longer sitting on the fence (re whos telling the truth) as she said she was on 3AW Seems you were right after all Rhino re what Caro really believes Davey really is in an uncomfortable place (truth or untruth) and for a number of other reasons His best bet is to get out on the field and play like he used to play

is the title of this thread an oxymoron?

thanks champ....good pickup hmmmmmm

Is that a core promise?

I've got to disagree od, he IS what passes as a journalist these days, just not always very professional We should not have any inflated ideas of journalists either. One needs only to read what masquerades as newspapers these days Cheers

there was an interesting segment on Media Watch last on just this issue If any posters are interested in where the AFL is heading with Sports journalism they should logon to the abc and watch last nights media watch it is quite illuminating

yes rpfc he said many things the one you remember was in reference to fat fil foo i think

I certainly don't disagree there has been a bit of an old boys club aspect................didn't need a report for that one

I just heard the AFL's statement to the press over the radio they have watered it down even further to just a misunderstanding and leaving a big question mark over davey (again) that's not an apology and the club shouldn't accept it (probably part of some bigger deal?)

Confucius say man with a chip on both shoulders may think he is a balanced person but in reality is just man with two chips on shoulder

it also reeks of a journalistic fishing expedition designed to flush out some details if you read the quotes there are no details or facts, just scuttlebutt speculation there may be some part truths here but it is heavy on rhetoric and short on detail I'll reserve my judgement atm

Why didn't the apology include any reference to disclosing confidential conversations (true or untrue) to third parties This apology is just not good enough I don't see how anyone could trust Mifsud with confidential information, which places a big question mark over his effectiveness in his current position
