OK!Well thanks C and B that has made me feel better i will no doubt sleep soundly.

I think you are correct RM.The sad part is they perished after their legs gave out.

You have my vote R and B.Sad part if your theory is true is that the players may never know what they were given. I cannot imagine what that would be like. This is a very sad state of affairs and Hird and company think they are being hardly done by.

Not sure why you say that WJ.You and many others know my thoughts on his worth. Stirrer or not I still think it will be sad.

Interesting that people keep asking how we are going to get Clark, Dawes, Hogan and Fitzy in the same team.Does not look like being a problem too often rpfc God forgive me for saying this but the help will have to come form Pedersen and Fitzy

Thanks I was not certain of the question.

That is my point bing. the notices need to be solid or they wont be issued.

That threat hold some water bing

dc I am not trying to defend the EFC in any way. What I am saying just because it would be the correct thing to record information to determine if and what got results does not mean it happened. I get the feeling that this was not done correctly from the start. IMO they were reckless, incompetent, cavalier and endangered the health of their players. Until proven otherwise I don't believe they destroyed records because I don't believe any of substance existed in the first place. It is not a case IMO of me believing whatever I want I just see no evidence or comment at this stage that they destroyed records. Lets hope we find out close to the truth in the next few months.

As I see it bing a difference is that AFL is an Australian only game.In the examples you sight they can bar the Country bodies from world competition. That is not going to be much of a threat to the AFL . So they bar the AFL from international competition. They would be mortified

Thank you Maldonboy you have just darkened my night.Sad but probably true.

2015 to go Django.Not sure about him but is bloody frustrating for many of us out here in the outer.

Yes bb it is one hell of a shock I agree

You might be very close to the mark there tm

In the same article they listed Tapscott as " Small Utility " Seemed a strange description. Now I will declare I am not a fan but does that mean like me they are struggling to work out what he does?

You say that tm as if we have a choice.It may seem strange but since very early this year I have not thought of Clark as being part of the team for the most part of 2014 if at all. All my calculations as to wins etc do not include him. I also have Dawes only playing a minor part in 2014 as well. We desperately need Dawes this year but he has looked brittle since his arrival last year.

magnanimous I believe is the only appropriate word to describe this gesture by the MFC.It shows our desire to keep the game alive in the Northern suburbs.

Very good Mr Leg I bow to your superior skill.

Tonight I caught the end of an item on Ch9 news about AFL captains in SA for the season launch and they collectively said they deplored the HUN publishing the Essendon player names this week. Now this is the part I am not certain of, but they cut to Robbo and the question was asked would you do it again and I thought he sheepishly said NO.

I heard he rejected it because he is tired of dealing with things that are not straight up.

He is our donation to Essendon so they have enough players to make up a team for the later part of 2014 and 5

Plus we will pay his salary for the balance of 2014 and add $50k for the 2015 season.

I said haphazad and incompetent dc.Isn't that what you describe above. Can you show me where anyone in authority has said they destroyed records? Now they may have but not one has said that. If someone can find among the reams written on this saga a commnet that they believe the records were destroyed then I will retract. But right now I don't believe that comment has been made.

Ok With you now

I understand all that but I don't believe it says they destroyed the records. To me it says they were just haphazard and incompetent. Is that not the case?
