And after all, all they do is offer money , Adelaide hasn't won a flag in the last ten years, and they both don't look likely in the next ten years.

Can't say the AFL haven't been warned.... going to be the mother of all class actions if they let it get to that.

And he was still doing it against GWS, once where i thought a bit close to the eyes of TOBY for my liking. Toby got up and got on with the game.

Wasn't it the AFL that said that "the specialist advised him to stop playing"

Danger.....you are finished WTF he says.

From a legal standpoint that might be a good place to start, Like a show cause why not, perhaps just at the moment from an exploratory position. Maybe a letter to the AFL at the same time. The AFL like to use a "please explain" when it suits them..

We don't want any of our players to get to the stage of wanting to leave Melbourne, and the best way to do that is to make sure the Club is the best place for them to be happy, and if not why not.

Definitely agree with this and add that it made us look somewhat unfit and that couldn't be possible could it? Oliver not withstanding because he must have covered many kilometres.

Has anyone mentioned anything about what the absence of Brayshaw would have made in Thursdays game? i haven't really made the effort to go back 10 or 15 pages to check, but i think he would have made a bit of difference in positioning of some players on both sides, especially in the talks that he had in the centre with the other senior players quite often.

We all knew that anyway. His Uncle said so. Ralph is a rat catcher. You can see the way Lyon looks at him. All these mugs do is look at everyone's Forums.

The smiling assassin. General wanna be

I don't just hate the Age, i hate all Media. Get that straight. It isn't because they are spiteful and horrible toward a sport that keeps them earning a living. It's because they they have serious character faults, and have been overwhelmed by their own self importance.

I would have a big supporting crew out there tomorrow, listening at interviews and objecting to anything not on subject or football. Particularly our President and CEO. Its about time we stopped [censored] footing around and started leaning a bit

Her hatred has mysteriously got something to do with Goodwin in my OP

Spot on.... i thought i was seeing things

Scrutiny is not going to stop the AFL from looking stupid, which is precisely how they look now. And the fines should not be allowed to corral the offence into a category

What a great summary of what should be, along with racism, the two priority issues of the year.

All of the above and I'm not discounting a couple of players staying at the Club after they finish playing. We have pretty well the best FB aand FF and the best Ruckman in the comp that are ready to pass on a heap of knowledge to their understudies. Their understudies are moving up with experience quickly. I didn't see anything in any of the matches played so far that resembled our discipline, our finesse or variation. If that's what it looked like, then that's what it is. I say top 4and nothing less and i don't want to touch on 2 prime reasons stirring everyone who supports these players and this Club, and me.

In my opinion i think what you need to watch with Laurie is this. He is a quite valuable link player with good inside disposal and the smarts.

Looks like then we dodged not just a bullet but a bloody big raving lunatic. Acting under no one's orders, i think not.

Just think about the consequences of that hit. Maynard should have retired already in my book just because he knows what he did. It's like if you are involved in an accident and someone is seriously injured , and it's your fault. The inclination would be very hard to ignore, but he must be going through that. When these things happen, lives are changed forever

"Sports Integrity Australia" might be interested in being contacted although not sure if AFL is member. But so what, they should be...

Maynard could have been asked one simple question. The fact that he wasn't still doesn't exonerate him nor convict him. But he will still have to carry it with him..

I got om here to find out if anyone knew when the sh## was going to hit the fan??

Whatever you read in the media before the capital letter in the first sentence is correct.
