Interesting point. Most of the GC kids would be on standard 2 year draftee contracts. I dont see how the AFL could protect them from poaching. I doubt any would leave for GWS though.

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/jim-stynes-bid-to-thwart-greater-western-sydney/story-e6frf9jf-1226010317389 I think it's actually a little embarrassing how desperate Mike Sheahan is to read into what isn't there. There's a lot of artistic license used when he reads between the lines. Complete fluff piece, in an attempt to perpetuate the Scully to GWS story. They know it's flagging.

He has to be caugut IN possession of it.

That's ridiculous. When have you ever heard of somebody being charged with pure consumption? He'd have to be caught driving whilst it was affecting his system. Simply doing a hair test to show he had taken it is not enough.

Interesting to hear, but no real surprises. As I've posted in the Future Fund thread, in think this has some relevance here:

Also: leading on from Lucas Cook having great disposal. CC was saying that kicking a clean disposal is something we have concentrated on in terms of recruiting. As he put it "we have tried to build a critical mass of good kicks, and when you have a critical mass, that is what you become." Well put Chris. Anyway, he went on to say that our assistant coaches coming in from other clubs, especially Brian Royal from St Kilda and Viney from Hawthorn and Adelaide, have said that they are very impressed with our kicking program and it is the best they have seen in the AFL.

Should it matter? He's not an AFL player, he is not subject to testing and can do as he likes.

Melksham would be a prime candidate. Looks like a young Lenny Hayes

Just from observing his media persona, I'd be shocked if he didn't indulge. Not sure about those incidents, but he's the perfect candidate.

Ok, it was page 30 of the Scully to GWS thread. Anyway, these are the posts:

Those calling for the Lions to support a bloke with a serious illness, ie. depression... You realise they CAN support the bloke, without having to pay him millions of dollars to play footy? A task which seems to now be beyond him? Support him by all means, but that doesn't mean it has to be unfairly weighted in his advantage. The bloke has stuffed up, has no one else to blame and needs to sort himself out. If the only way he can do that is by getting paid millions to not effectively do a job, then I'm afraid he's in a lot of trouble, with or without the Lions help.

Because all of this has been covered, logically, ad nauseum through this thread & the Scully thread. Standard contracts for draftees are 2 years. 3 is unusual. At least know what you're talking about first.

I've found the functions are getting better and better as time goes on. I threw 5 or so posts on this in the Tom Scully thread. If anyone is interested you'll have to search a little bit for them. Roughly page 21 or something.

Special circumstances. I think it's ridiculous to not afford Brisbane this small concession. Essendon received exactly the same for Lovett. It is not a unique case of the AFL favouring one team over all others.

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah MFCSS blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah irrational fear blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blahjustification blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah self preservation blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah ignore common sense blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

And another?

Another incredibly stupid post.

So anyway, not that this is even one of the important issues, but the way to sort out who is lying (the most)... Simply: Nixon claims the girl has a video of him in his underwear, which she stole from his phone while left in his office for 20 mins months ago, whilst he was talking to police. If this is true, he will have the video on his phone. If he is not in possession of the video himself, then he is lying. If he does have the video, it proves she was lying, because she'd have had to film it on her own phone or camera, so he wouldn't have access to it.

What are Garland, Grimes & Frawley? All 3 are proficient at that very skill, along with the rest of their skills.

The best thing for Fevola would be to get out of football, go somewhere where he is not a "celebrity" and experience normal life. As normal as it can be to get paid out $1.5 mil for being a royal f&@k up.

This is our chance - we gotta strike now while the iron's hot! Quick, before hawthorn or Richmond get him!

We are stupid if we don't recruit him. He'd be cheap now, has got his act sorted out and would be able to teach Jurrah & Watts how to go about it (& protect them). This would be a flag-securing move. The gun gorilla FF we've been waiting for. Do it Bailey!

^^^ Hansen is the one I disagree on. He is actually good. To an extent I agree on their others mentioned.
