You will need to ask them that question.

Because it is his choice as a professional, As we are virtually anonymous on here, he has a right to be the same if he so chooses.

Yep, Lawyers do that all the time and magistrates/ judges are just too dumb to see through the charade. ?

Or his reading of things have precedent. Oh, nothing better than a good conspiracy theory though.

So you're saying he's wrong then?

In any criminal case - like it or not - the presumption of innocent until proven guilty is an inviolable tenet. Debating a football clubs's supplement program is an entirely different issue.

Mods, may I take the liberty of urging caution on the turn this topic has taken? This is now a criminal matter and certain rules apply.

As my kids often remind me, I play "old man" bowls. As such and in contrast, I noted with interest that opposition leader Matthew Guy has pledged $150K to the modest Carrum Bowls Club, should the Liberals win the next State election, which they're a fair chance to do. Isn't it amazing what pollies will do for marginal seats in an election year?

Agreed. It is a bit hard to shine, when you are dragged down to below par performances by a lot of your team mates. I won't engage - at this stage - about the coaching. But next Tuesday is going to be a huge night for the MFC and dare I used the cliche, but it will be season defining I think.

Out coached today. Pure and simple. By a master at the craft is Clarkson

I agree with the principle which led to this decision. However, I would like to know what will be new in the strategic plan to make up the obvious and inevitable revenue loss.

Bring in Frost and let Lever do what he does best. Intercept mark without having to body the big KPF's

Geez there are some doomsayers on here aren't there? Give the kid a go. I mean, he's a tall lad that still needs more time to develop, but he is still - relative to bigger blokes - a kid.

I can only claim 53. My dad first signed me up after the '64 flag. Not that I have much memory of that, as I was too busy picking up the old steel beer cans to stand on, rather than watch the game. But at least I can say I was there. From that point on my sanity has certainly been tested. In 65 I was inconsolable after watching Tony Charlton interview Norm Smith just after Doc Duffy sacked him.

I'm just turning up the stereo......type. The slight decrease in membership numbers at this time of year, as compared to last year, is because any self respecting, Range Rover driving Dees supporter, who has a fondness for snow, would be directing their entire attention to the Winter Olympics. (Tongue....Cheek)

Don't forget the Winter Olympics are on

To me SEN is on the skids. Hutchy may be shrewd when it comes to the figures ($), but I am not sure his identification of so-called 'talent' is that good. While I know much of the programming still relies on the summer sports calendar, personally I find most of the programming to be exceptionally boring. The previous cameo by Dr Turf on KB's morning program was OK, but I just don't believe the chemistry can last for an entire program. Andy Maher, to me, is extremely tedious, particularly his incessant preambles into inane questions. Why SEN went back to the future with Maher beggars believe really. While Finey could rankle, I at least found him entertaining and particularly enjoyed his segment with Geoff Poulter, interviewing past VFL/AFL stars. As for Whately, time will tell I guess. Not that I think Whately is not an excellent sports broadcaster, but the fit with SEN just doesn't seem to me to be the right synergy.

While at Uni, I had a part time job in a department store selling menswear. It was appropriate protocol back then to ask a 'gentleman', while measuring his inside leg as to "what side sir dresses on?" I'm a leftie. What a crock. Media bias is in the eye of the beholder. Shock jocks can make political editorial comment and sell it as general news. Good save the ABC I say.

According to reports today, Whately did not want to leave the ABC, but felt that his former employer was too slow in getting a contract on the table. If his preference was to stay at the ABC, you have to wonder if his heart will be in it at SEN. Time will tell I guess.

Andy Maher back in the lunchtime slot. Cue the 3 minute preamble before an actual question gets asked of the 'guest'.

Hutchy may have business acumen, but if anyone has listened to his inane banter with Liam Pickering, on their Saturday morning show; "Off the Bench", you would know that Marko and Ox are oracles in comparison.

Looks like Hoppy has been in a good paddock.

Will they place a tariff on products which are bought online? In today's global economy, tariffs just never work. But here's an idea. How about trying some innovation and having the guts to look at the long term future? Nah, that would never work, would it. They can spend billions to increase their arsenal, but are unable to fund innovation and infrastructure? Go figure.

FBI director James B. Comey asked the Justice Department to publicly reject President Donald Trump's assertion that the president Barack Obama ordered the tapping of Trump's phones, senior US officials said. Comey has argued that the highly charged claim is false and must be corrected, they said, but the department has not released any such statement. http://www.theage.com.au/world/fbi-director-james-comey-asks-justice-department-to-reject-donald-trumps-wiretapping-claim-20170305-gurb08.html

Common decency is all one asks for from Frump; fake news or not. A U.S. Army veteran injured while serving 2 tours of duty in Afghanistan is fighting not to be deported to Mexico. http://abc7chicago.com/news/veteran-fighting-deportation-after-2-tours-in-afghanistan/1739129/ Sorry Biff, I forgot this is only a contrived story perpetrated by the leftie fourth estate.
