daisycutter

that's a quaint old-fashioned idea bd. i happen to agree with you i remember when brand names first started appearing on goods they were giveaways somewhere along the way they conned us to not only paying for them but also at a premium strange world

well loyalty to himself says he should have been more circumspect. after all if the club goes down so does he

I disagree. He could have answered a 100 different ways. He put not only the club in jeopardy but himself not smart

tackling too, presumably

wish he'd said that a year ago and we mightn't be here discussing an afl inquisition

Hey redleg do you reckon well take Dale Roberts as a Category-B Rookie or is it too late?

noting also the "or in relation to any aspect of the match, for any reason whatsoever." that just about covers anything e.g. tagging/not tagging, interchanging frequency, decoy positioning, substitution etc etc "merit" as defined seems to only apply to the individual and not to the team. i.e. a player tagging is not playing to his merit but could be playing to the team's merit and conversely a player playing to his merit offensively may not be playing to the merit of the team by ignoring his defensive game a can of worms methinks

don't forget CS's "ashen face". Very damning that!

BUMP anyone know his status or any info?

trouble is S_T this rule is just so incredibly general and open-ended with respect to interpretation by this rule there one could interpret multiple breaches by multiple clubs every year i won't go through the examples as everyone is familiar with them to my way of thinking this rule as it is framed is just too non-specific perhaps it is intentionally vague so the AFL can intimidate and exercise power when it deems it is politically expedient?

I don't know why you think deegirl is in the no(sic) she broke a story by a few hours before the press. there could be a lot of reasons for this other than being in the know and she only got it partly right as there were no "charges" laid against the people she named her heads up is appreciated but it doesn't mean she is in the know, she even said after that she hoped it wasn't accurate if she does know more she has the opportunity to share it here bottom line is we don't really know what "evidence" the afl have. from what has leaked it seems not much and very circumstantial but, there may or may not be more

UR12?

Gary Hardeman?

Ummm, technically one pair are called over-pants

t will be interesting to see our response to the 'evidence' presented. This could be the making of this administration and of the Melbourne Football Club. I'm sure the Fink will know where to send the subpoenas when it goes to court

IR1

which made no mention of charging the club, CS, DB and CC, so in that respect deegirl was not quite "on the money"

it's already there no T$ is no(T=Tanking $=HWFUA)

in which case why reveal our case to them by over-responding review the "material" just inform the AFL there is nothing chargeable in the material or to answer to and no further comment ask the afl to either drop the investigation or lay charges in which case we will take it to the courts

Jolimont. Don't compromise. Priorities.

maybe, but football clubs shutdown for more than the 3 public holidays at this time. More like 2 weeks, but it seems many will now be forced to work through their holidays.

there you go again with that "4 national drafts" claim again just what is your basis (fascination) with 4 drafts? You've been asked before but not answered

boy, much obama-love there rpfc we obviously disagree here. the promised great reformer will go down in presidential history as a lame president who couldn't garner the power required for meaningful reform and will leave an america in a worse position than when he took the reins Sadly it'd hard to see anyone else in the wings at the moment who offers any great hope

given that the 21 days looks likely to include the xmas/new year break period it is in fact a much shorter period of time not sure i understand if there is any significance in this, but at least it will be most inconvenient for many
