Bombers scandal: charged, <redacted> and <infracted>
beelzebub replied to Jonesbag's topic in Melbourne Demons
The team can be sanctioned and penalised for sure, and I expect it to but as to what form that might take in an inclusive competition as opposed a team competing in an open event?? who knows.. Is unique to date. -

When have they banned a team though from an 'inclusive" competition? Not like banning a race team.. Semantics to suggest a reserves team really as in whatever guise and of whom its Essendon. Would think they can only ban players and penalise a team? -
I keep getting the image of the little girl in the Taco ad shrugging and asking , why not do both ? Howe could be utilised in defence and exert his forward abilities by being played as a Wing. Best of both worlds.. He can mark, he can kick and he can run bloody quick!! why not ?

Just out of interest would there be any validity in supposing the various moves of players around the ground is part of their football tuition. It's development. Its also something somewhat foreign to us so maybe its gone under the radar. Just a thought

the only really fair way as you suggest Sue is a 17 team draw. Theres no capacity for that I think in terms of lead in . 2015 is committed to . Shame -

it wont be 6 months OD as thats only allowed for under mitigation of 1) supposedly NO knowledge of what was going on... an thats not the case...re waivers .etc and 2 that the individuals applied no impediment to the investigations indeed co -operated to the full. This too is not the case. Imho the best they could get will be 2 years, and from the tribunal date. The AFL might try to slide 1 year through , agreed. -

A possible method for season 2015 may be as follows: Irrespective of what sanctions individual players incur the team as such would play without the ability to win 4 pts. , but not the inability to win a game. By this who ever is playing EFC still needs to win the game in order to take the 4 pts ( or 2 in case of draw ) Its NOT simply a free 4pts for the team v EFC. Thereby still promoting competition. its arguable that you shouldn't lose to a cobbled together team but if you do you deserve to not take the lollies. In this manner only the EFC are punished, as it should be. Some might now suggest you still have the probability of some games being an 'effective " gimme as its a stronger team v a weaker one but surely that's always occurred in the game. It's next to impossible to eradicate that as such. Premiership points still have some relation to competition and the % still reflects some form of competition having taken place. Only the EFC is denied the ability to take points but they can still play to deny their opponents some and it keeps the competition real, as far as it could be..imho -

OD it cant be. WADA will simply not allow it. -

Whilst a seemingly plausible method you would then have teams crying foul who play them twice as being unable o possibly accumulate the premiership points they might have. You in effect punish both EFC and who ever is playing them. edit: The nett effect of such games is a swag of dead rubbers. No one will bother to watch a game for no outcome. There would be TV issues also. -

If you dont' mind there Sue..Id say you were , amongst others. I will dismiss the nonsense out of hand,as it's my opinion. There is no fair fixture anymore. If Essendon are easybeats in 15 then thats as far as it goes surely. If we're any good we'll beat teams theres no point anyone worrying over other's benefits etc. Just like yo can only play the team that turns up you can only play the fixture given. -

Those who want to makes excuses can go ahead and plan ours all based upon some furphy that the Bombers have caused even more inequality re the draw.. or ya just get on with things and try to affect the things you can, not what you can't -

Funny how they wax and wane somewhat. Does the AFLPA now suspect that there may indeed have been punishable transgressions ? if they ( the 34 ) were beyond reproach and innocent in the extreme then it wouldnt matter for it to be an open 'court'......surely ? -

As you say . its sad , a very unfortunate and unlikely accident. A loss to his family and friends. The way this country carries on though about some people in an inordinate manner and almost oblivious to other things makes me cringe at times. youd think there was nothing else bar sport
