  1. Easy to find the 4 who were there. Its all over their instagram. It's when people start rumours using specific names that the Site owners would get nervous, as they can be held accountable for the content of the site. And THAT is what the guessing game leads to. No need to get over myself, but thanks for the suggestion. Mum would approve
  2. Sega Mega Drive..... Bloody millennials......
  3. Just like all major sports worldwide, I expect this will end up being set up by, and for the current controlling interests of our game, to benefit themselves. The McLachlans will be the cabal that actually end up "owning" our game,by licencing everything to their own. The AFL stopped being a sport long ago, and the people in charge when the music stopped not only got to sit in the available chairs, but they then gifted the chair factory to their own families.
  4. Why can't we delete our own posts any more Demonland? It's very annoying.
  5. Because rumours can have the site owners taken to court for defamation. I like this site and would hate to see it close down
  6. I think many of us would agree that the old boys network at CEO level sucks. But the thing is, CEO salaries are set by Boards, and are not subject to gender equality tests, but more likely biased by what private school you went to.
  7. Can i ask if there is a list that contains a pay gap for jobs where the employers income is the same? Sport can easily attract different amounts, based on who generates the most money for the employer. Thats why local cricketers are not paid the same as the Test Team. Is there a plumbing company that pays women less for the same job? Bulder? Electrician? Salesperson? Dental Assistant? I can say for sure it doesn't happen in my game of Coal Mining. Same work, Same pay Interested to hear info on this, because I sure can't think of any.
  8. From the Centre Against Sexual Assault web page Examples of sexual assault include: Stalking e.g. repeatedly being followed or watched by someone; Rape e.g. being forced to have vaginal, anal or oral sex' Unwanted touching e.g. pinching, patting, embracing, rubbing, groping, flicking, kissing, fondling, being touched on the breasts, bum, legs etc; Sexual harassment e.g. dirty jokes or rude comments about a person's sex life; Obscene gestures e.g. simulating masturbation in front of a person; Voyeurism e.g. being watched doing intimate things without permission; Unwanted sexual comments or jokes e.g. comments about a person's body or relationships; Sex-related insults e.g. calling someone a [censored], dyke, homo, slag etc; Pressuring for dates or demand for sex e.g. invitations that turn into threats or not taking 'no' for an answer; Indecent exposure e.g. someone showing private parts of their body or 'flashing' their genitals; Being forced to watch or participate in porn e.g. taking a photo without permission, forcing someone to be on video, making someone watch a pornographic movie; Offensive written material e.g. dirty notes, letters, phone messages, emails, SMS, pictures; Incest/intrafamilial child sexual assault e.g. a family member e.g. father or brother engaging in sexual activity with a child or young person; Unwanted, offensive and invasive interpersonal communication through technologies such as mobile phones, internet social networking sites and email. Might need the facts hey?
  9. Cannot spell cow but can lift one. Nah, love it, and awesome motivating in his ear. From decades of lifting, I can attest to the benefits of the mob screaming in your ear when you are at your maximum.
  10. Those two pics aren't even from the same game
  11. yeah, fair enough. Respect for that. I still strongly disagree with the players for my reasons stated. I'm one of those long term sufferers who see this as a continuation of our limp wristed attitude. Will all be forgotten, and apologies owed if we make it deep into September, but it certainly has me losing faith again. Evidence based. As you say, each to their own.
  12. The story itself quotes as fact that the club had told the players that extra safeguards had been put in place, to address their safety concerns from the previous camp It also reported that the players approached the AFLPA It also reported that following the approach to the AFLPA, the club quashed the camp. An insider who posts of here, and has his brother on the playing list, stated that he believed Goody was more piszed off than he admitted publicly. You state that you have done many of these camps yourself, and use that as a basis for agreeing with the players actions, but you have zero idea yourself of what was actually planned for the group. That's the coaches call, not the players. IMO
  13. Our club, you know the one that has been a rank embarrassment to the code of AFL for the majority of the past 6 decades, is trying to toughen up the playing list mentally, because we have a long track record of being feeble, and quick to fold once the heat is on. That's why we target "leadership" in trading and recruiting, particularly from outside the club, as our in house variety does not cut the mustard. The club will put on a show for the media, and many appeasers on here will swallow the line that the players were merely seeking "advice" from the AFLPA on how to best seek an end to the camp. They involved the union, to get things their way. Once again, the soft mental underbelly of the Melbourne list reared its head, and once again we have chosen the soft path. It is undeniable, and does not take an ex grunt to be qualified to offer an opinion. A plumber with a beer gut can offer the same value as a soldier, regardless of the number of daily pushups they can do. (For fun, give us a satisfactory number of pushups required to form a valid opinion on this matter, and do women only need to do girly pushups to have a say?)
  14. More than half the people here judging would be closer to retirement age than football playing age. And it's hard to do 20 good pushup's when you are pickled on cheap goon. But please provide you detailed list of the AFL/VFL players who have ended a boot camp or similar in a wheelchair, as proof that your comments are not more than know-all rhetoric. Professional coaches decided the camp was beneficial, and also made plans around the concerns from the previous year, while our timid show pony playing list ran like pre school tattle-tails to big brother AFLPA to usurp the coaches. Any Melbourne member has an absolute right to be ticked off over this, and the players deserve every ounce of scorn coming their way.
  15. and here, carry this bag of bricks around the Tan Forgot to add, apologies to Brent Moloney and co who were hauled through the mud for canning a time trial. Seems it is the acceptable thing to do at the Dees. Don't like it, don't do it. Oh, should add jack Watts. All is forgiven Jack.
  16. I'm completely of the opposite view. Our coaches decided that there was a benefit to be gained from the players doing the camp. The players didn't like the idea, so sought advice from the union on how to go about getting it canned. To me the chain of command is not the relevant issue, its the fact the players weaselled their way out of a training camp. Our player leadership has not improved one iota it seems.
  17. Need more info On face value, it paints a terrible picture. Who the hell are the players to cancel AYTHING? Nope, just read the article. Bloody hell our mob are soft. Disgraceful that they pulled the Workplace Health and Safety line. Disgusted.
  18. You needed proof?
  19. So it ended up a good news story after all. Good stuff.
  20. It must have been hard, never taking your own kid to a footy game.
  21. He'd be with the forwards wouldn't he? Has good game sense for a forward.
  22. He will be the nicest guy not picked for their Grand Final side.
  23. You there Saty? Did he actually leave injured, or do you mean he was running after said injury?
  24. Clarry wants to look at his best while collecting his Brownlow medal.
  25. never bothered to fit an antenna to my stereo for commercial radio, and don't even have free to air TV at home. Have no idea who most of the mentioned names are. Hope Ox can find some work soon. Always jobs going in the mines. Maybe I can swing something for him
