Yeah, people who think Russell Jackson's article was as bad as it was going to get and that it was BS be prepared. Usually more people come forward after the initial bombshell.

Needs to explore his options. Don't feel like he is in the long term future here.

Why are we so confused about Tomlinson's contract length? It's weird and wrong.

Hunt's courage in 50-50 contests shouldn't be understated either.

11 sounds about right

I think this needs to be a league wide thing

Yeah if you get a good recruiter and list manager you hold on for dear life.

He'll certainly want to avoid North via PSD.

Their agenda with the ABC needs its own post code.

Chiefs, Bills, Rams

Now that's the Bolt we know! How can someone from Sky say the words 'ABC' and 'agenda' in the same sentence?

Really rate Caracella, could do a lot worse.

Plus another week to shove gambling down our throats.

Hate to say it but he's right, sort of.

No i don't agree. If he was put on the spot, he denies it, simple as that. Journos call coaches all the time and they answer them it's not unheard of. Or better still his manager could take it. They could have avoided the story going to print at very least and threaten legal action if it did.

100% Dubdee, it's extremely difficult to find a counterpoint to all this right now.

Is there anywhere you can learn about the integrity unit and the people on it?

Apparently if you do the same thing and expect different results you're mad

Cheers Swooper. Not expecting you to know but would Phil have any relation to Leon Egan the former Indigenous liaison officer at Hawthorn?

I don't even really know, I just wanted to see page 230.

Fix the other issues AFL. Focus on player welfare rather than look for new ways to maximise dollars. Stupid idea

Yeah something like that

Yeah that sounds like crap.

I think every club needs to be reviewed. A chance to come forward on a one off basis and share any truths that need to come out so everyone learns the lessons simultaneously and we figure out together how to never let it happen again. The game is not bulletproof, I don't care how rich the AFL is. Russia was a pretty wealthy country once. This is bigger than one club or coach and if you think this alleged behaviour is limited to this scenario, think again.

Andy Maher made an excellent point. Why didn't Clarko take the call? He could have nipped this all in the bud I'd it was not true and demand the story not to be printed or else.
