old dee

It will be a short conversation.

Yep it hits the ground every time.

Wow rjay when were EFC supporters any judge they thought Hird was their saviour.

I hope lot more than their compatriots at the EFC were doing in 2012

So they would be circumventing the Rules they signed up to? That is in effect saying don't cheat but if you get caught we will help out. Not sure why I am surprised.

But can we replace the rookie?

If you were Mark Jamar and you were getting paid rookie wages or better in a lower league why would you go to essendrug? He would get a 2016 contract and then goodbye.

Gil the pie man gave a wide sweeping comment like " we will increase the EFC's cap to allow for the replacement players. No mention of any limit. The AFL are determined to get them up ASAP so I expect the amount will be the amount the EFC needs to recruit the "right" players

How come Essendrug get to scour the country for replacements but we ( and Others ) get to up grade a rookie? Why cannot we replace that rookie?

Money?

"Sordid and cynical" on Demonland Bbo surly you are mistaken!

Are we surprised that Hird will do an interview with someone who will not ask the hard questions. I do not want to hear from the Hird camp ever again. Is there any chance he could decamp to France or Outer Mongolia any time soon.

Why like Hird he has done nothing wrong and there has been a grave mistake of justice.

Not hard to have a 100% membership when you don't have to pay to be a member. Like most things associated with the AFL Conflicted

A fairly thin group then LDC

The AFL funds the AFLPA while this situation continues there will never be a professional union representing the Players. They will always be conflicted. Until the Players fund their own AFLPA and become involved in the running of such they will be at the mercy of incompetents.

Beat me by 51 minutes dc

In order to keep another dees supporter alive please do not hold your breath

Yep. There is now no doubt. Just re minds us of how far the morals of football clubs stretch

Nice idea but no.

I actually think it will be easier for him next year Zero expectations. Ever loss is accounted for by " we was robbed WADA did us in". If they pull of a couple of wins he looks good achieving them with a seconds side.

I was surprised too bb But Gil the pie man said words to the effect of " the current suspend player payments will have to be included in the EFC total player cap for 2016 but they would increase the cap for the make up players"

They have a big scalp and know that no one will employ him again. Why bother with the exception of a few people the world knows what he is.

You are on a roll mate

GCS Yes they could be under pressure. Fancy losing to their seconds side at home for the first game.
