Vandenberger With The Lot

Rare to hear a nice word from Kingy and Cornes, but nice to not be discussed for the wrong reasons at least

I would rather pay Oliver a mill a year to sit on the couch than to see him play well at Geelong. For the love of god don't trade him/

Good point, and I highly doubt it would have. Gus was loved amongst the playing group because of the strength of his character, and you know he would've been talking to Christian non-stop and keeping others apprised of the situation. There is no doubt in my mind that Gus was the next captain of the club, and his speech saddens me to see. I can only imagine whatever he does next, be it in footy or out, he will perform extremely well

Only takes someone with a big enough wallet to engage a lawyer. I would suspect smaller sites probably just comply with C&Ds and remove comments on request to avoid litigation

Very common sense approach, especially given in Fairfax Vs Voller the high court indicated a web forum could be considered a publisher and responsible for content posted on the site

I said they may have unreliable sources but they don't just make things up. Another room temperature IQ take from you.

Yep they can say whatever they want, you can choose to believe them or not, but no one that knows anybody at the club is going to come out and name them on a public forum. Then you suggest professional journalists have no sources. Their source might be unreliable but they don't just make these things up mate. Like I said before, to ask someone on this board to put someone they know at the club, and to suggest journalists just make up stories out of thin air, is a braindead take.

Very disappointing. I know it's for yourself but you would hate to have been planning to give it as a Christmas gift

I remember seeing the two different beanies when I ordered from the club on the night of the game. I preferred the one on the right, which finally arrived today.

Certainly hasn't been ideal, but at the end of the day I prefer the money to go to the club rather than Target.

Got notice from Australia Post today that my beanie has been sent, and Gawny's book. I was so keen to read it I've bought it on my Kindle so I dont have to wait for Australia Post

I haven't recieved mine yet either. I note the website still shows them as a pre-order item with an expected release date of November 1 The AFL store website shows they have them in stock though. I hope the club gets these out in time for Christmas, though I would've liked to have mine before next weekend.

I see a lot of similarities with Carlton right now to when we hired Neeld. Old coach fired after only a few years Bring in the club legends to pick the new coach Experienced senior coach pulls out of the race because the selection process seems a bit scuffed (Sheedy and the powerpoint) I hope for their sake it goes a little better than it did for us.

Fair enough. Perhaps cancelling a contract is a step too far, but my main point is the disparity between the way the general public is punished for a similar incident, and the way Walker is. It comes off like the AFL is tough on racism until there's a chance it will cost someone money, then 6 weeks is good enough.
