monoccular

I guess when he is physically strong enough to prevent further injury he would be as well to return to AFL as VFL. It is not as if he is a midfield runner: I know it is unconventional these days with 'run-off type defenders', but he could be practically parked in the goal square and still cause havoc provided the new midfield keep clearing it out and firing it in his direction.

Were Schwab at Carlton maybe the whole media ("The Age") run vendetta would have turned out very differently, though of course there wouldn't have been dimwit Brock as the catalyst.

2706 posts but do any contain FACTS regarding the outcome? Mods - is there some way you can hold a TANKING OUTCOME FACTS thread and control it carefully?

Once again - I really believe that he could win the Charlie, or could have yet another up and down season. Nothing new. It is all over to Colin. Will he do it: he can, but will he?? Does he really really want to?

I remember my grandmother once saying that hate is a wasted emotion, but geez I hate that Wilson woman. Just watched the video, and hate her even more.

Is that because Cameron Schwab wasn't at either club?

He needs to make significant progress this year to keep his place - I think the jury is out and undecided, as yet.

That would be a very difficult task! :-))

That's The Labor way: look at the NSW Party and the Obeids.

The rich get richer and the poor get stuffed!

Maybe it is a case of the Chinese General Sun-Tzu's theory, "keep your friends close, and your enemies closer"? But, sadly, I think it os more a matter of GL looking after his own cushy job. Maybe CW is about to release another exclusive, that the drugs used at Essendrug were actually sourced by ............Cameron Swab.

It appeared to me that after only one top level preseason he did exactly that - burned out. Hopefully with another load of hard work he will, given the opportunity, last longer. And yes, Neeld wanted to see what else he could do - heaven forbid, was that tanking? Maybe send him to WCE or Essendrug training sessions :-))

They would have to hand out large quantities or emesis bags unless they wanted a major clean up bill afterwards.

So you don't think that the sieve aka AFL didn't leak anything to her?

So.....IF I said that The Age was a despicable lowlife organization for employing an individual who played out her very personal vendettas by implicating a whole football club, would I be right in saying that The Age could not sue me? On the other hand IF I were to say that the Editor of said disorganization was a scumbag for employing such a vindictive person would I be liable?

And do you necessarily beleive her when she says she has inside sources, or at least inside MFC and not AFL?? I don't.

I particularly like the 1.24 one !!!

I asked this question in the tanking thread. It, to me as a layman, appears to be libellous or slanderous or whatever. And well done Don.

"Melbourne manipulated football results in 2009. Bailey knew it, McLean and several teammates knew it and resented it and a disturbing number of witnesses have attested to it. To let the club off the hook now would be asdamaging to the game's image as Melbourne was back in that clumsy, divided and unhappy time four seasons ag o." Any lawyers here? Is that statement libellous? Certainly unproven speculation at best. And what an absolutely vindictive vile woman (one of the mods does not like me using a word with references to lady folk once burned at Salem) though I am surprised that Schwab didn't crack a mention. She just cannot help herself.

Surely Jack Viney has to be the first Jack Viney before he can be the next Jack Viney :-) Billy is a long stretch behind that.

All unproven of course but nevertheless an interesting prospect. Nothing much to lose and everything to gain.

WTH ! Intravenous vitamins B and C? If you beleive that rubbish you would have to beleive in Santa, Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy.

My perhaps poor understanding is that players' blood and urine samples are stored for years and can be analysed retrospectively for PEDs that may not have been able to be analysed in previous years. IF a banned PED is found then......wham!!

On the other hand, others, who seem to enjoy worrying, would be worried were he actually smiling :-)) or maybe :-((( And on yet another hand (how many ore there?), some clubs may present the parents not a jumper but a syringe :-((((((

I am glad to hear that Dunn is taking a leadership rôle in defence. He does have talent but IMO has lacked guidance and focus: presumably Neeld has laid down the law and demanded, something previous coaches have not done, specifics from him and he has taken up the challenge. Good luck to him. If Lynden makes the grade it is as much kudos to Neeld as to him.
