I heaard last night from sources close to the industry that SEN's business model isn't working and that they will soon have to cut staff. Announcement expected a few days after the Grand Final.

True. Though someone should tell the VFL to list replays streamable on the AFL website to make it spoiler free. At present it is impossible to click on 'play' without seeing the final score.

It could be that neither club nor Tracc are saying anything because King has yet to get his head aound the issue.

I don't condone violence, but football acts will happen.

No. $$$$$$$$

Thanks. I’ll try that next year if I’m foolish enough to resubscribe

Wonderful. But once again Kayo froze again with 5 mins till go and couldn’t be restarted for about 5 min. If you possibly can, do not pay them any money. And next year it will come complete with ads taking up space during play. Now to cancel my sub.

But 5:15 means that families with kids have to squeeze dinner into half-time (not to mention preparing it). Only the upper classes eat well after 8pm and toddlers before 5pm.

I posted that he'd get 3 weeks if Hawthorn lost and get off if they won last night. And there I was thinking I was being an overly cynical bastard as usual.

I agree now that Geelong are in the GF. But I think I'd have preferred him to start at MFC this week after Geelong lost to Hawthorn (arrggh, what a choice). The trading/recruiting season is short and every week counts. He already has their IP. So is an extra GF experience of more value to us than an extra week involved with our list management? I suspect not, but it is what it is now.

Sorry, PF. You need a new book and a read of Aesop's fable of the fox who declares the grapes must be sour because he can't reach them. You can say GW is being bitter and twisted and indulging in conspiracy theories, but she is not saying she wouldn't like Geelong's success because having failed to achieve the same, she dismisses it's worth.

I think you need this: sour grapes | ˌsaʊə ˈɡreɪps | used to refer to an attitude in which someone adopts a negative attitude to something because they cannot have it themselves [with allusion to Aesop's fable The Fox and the Grapes] If GW had said that all that Geelong success was not worth having (because we cab't have it), then sour grapes might apply. But where has she ever said that?

What if he grew a beard...?

Until we see a formal announcement which makes it clear that this has only just now been decided, I'd hold judgement on when it happened and neither congratulate or commiserate with GW. This is all we have: Many people may be believing it because it is seen as good news or is so confidently written. Can anyone enlighten me as to Dannyz's past reputation for getting these things right?

Are/were we hoping to get AFL money for Caufield?
