is there then scope for them to be supeoned to appear at asada's supreme court hearing (which would possibly then mean there is no need to compel them to testify at the afl tribunal)?

An irony if they get off because Charter and Alvi don't testify or sign affidavits is the choice to drag the case on by EFC will have been an even more of a monumental [censored] up costing, time energy and money

I meant at today's supreme Court hearing. But perhaps they're not appearing?

Redleg if charter and alvi are asked under oath if what they said to asada in their interviews is true and they answer it is, is this the equivalent of an affidavit?

Why are the cats training with cakes?

TBH HH i like it. It's got a nice feel about it. I'm in. But perhaps rather than yelling it every time he goes near the ball i'll start after he hits 25 possessions and/or 3 goals

Like most people i am totally over the EFC saga. However i continue to be intrigued by the different takes slants /perspectives key journos have on it. The media response to this will be studied in years to come. In my view few journos can hold thier head high as so many have been unable to write without a clear agenda. We know the main players: Mick Warner, Slobbo, Chop Le Grand, Caro, John Perik and the bearded grump from Sydney, Patrick Smith. Most will ave their views on who has done a good joob. Mine is Perik, Smith and Caro have been ok but i'm open to the suggestion that perhaps i think that because their views align with mine. One journo though who i have been really disappointed in is Rohan Connoly. Disappointed because as a rule i think he is one of the better footy journos. But his pieces on this affair have been poor and none more so than his latest. I find his attempt and dismmising thouse on both side of the agnda diingenious as his agenda is so evident 9which he anbnoyingly referncs in this arrttoice, getting ahead of the acccisation by namingt it - give me a break). But what i find most annoying in this article (and other EFC apologist articles that equate escaping penalties with proving EFC right) is this line: ' There are diatribes on the other side also long discredited. Ongoing references to the once incessantly referenced, now irrelevant AOD-9604.' A club injecting a drug in large, frequent doses that has not been proven safe for human use is not irrelevant. For me the it is the key point. He goes on to say they have been punished for this. Bollocks. They were punished for bringing the game into disrepute and poor governance. Compare their punishment ot the one the blues copped many years ago for draft tampering (a much less serious charge in the scheme of things). Carlton has barely recovered from those penalties. Bring on Workcover.

Good points. The big diff though to Boyd is scully offered no promise of star power (ie big media presence, glamour etc)

Have you had a sarcasm bypass?

You try running with a dog around your neck!

Rhymes with sharka, which can become sharkattack, or shark for short. So i'm going with SHARK for a nickname. And when he heats up and starts tearing all and sundry a new one one i will yell SHARK ATTACK!!!

About 70 kg's in total

Love this post. What did the romans ever do for us? Petraccattack says hi!

Good post its time. Would be great for all parts of the club to be back at the g. Though I assume they would still train at goshs. I would love a return to them training on the g but that ain't gonna happen. As for the social club, I agree its an issue but I don't think a bar at the g is the answer. I reckon it needs to be a pub near the g. The duke is the obvious one. Or perhaps the bar on the yarra underneath fed square. Or perhaps the imperial. Somewhere to meet per and post games

The other thing i like is that all three mids seem senior team ready with CP and AB built like bulls, AB being 19 (he missed last years draft by 3 days) and Neal-Bullen having already played senior footy with Glenelg. Ad the Hulk to that mix and you have four new boys who seemingly can mix it up.

Coming from a cow with dentures? Any way my man Christian is so strong he could drape a cow around his neck.

Mids, mids ad more mids. Thankyou. And look at those 3 mids. All strong big bodied with heads as tough as cats heads. This is what Roos is looking for.

No

Only if you have faith in him

Anyone who wears a live dog shawl is alright by me (is that why he failed the psych test?)

What you can see from a 2 minute clip is technique. And my man petracca has an excellent kicking technique. A good start. Compare to hogan who on set shot appears to have a technical flaw. Hard at that age to completely fix technical flaws.

Yes I did. When I selected him as my avatar. Mind you I also selected dangermouse, lever and a blow up demon (thanks supermarcado).

I picked this

I was just thinking that in a parallel saints universe to DL the cries of angst will ring out when Petraca burns it up from the get go whilst Paddy takes a few years to hit his straps.

Don't worry Demoneeyes. i'm with you. We will get Petracca and Brayshaw (i hope). If so your prediction that we would have taken Lever over PM will remain untested and i will choose to believe your assertion (and your sources) that we would have. Mids, mids and more mids please
