Rumour AFL asked Adelaide NOT to pursue M. Talia

[Cleric]

Apparently the AFL have told Adelaide that they would prefer it if they did not trade in Talia.
Would look bad if he was to come here.

 

[TheExtractorFactor]

Yep. Imagine the conversations he could have with his brother if he saw him EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Give me a spell

 

[Milux]

Lol.

 

[HairyO]

Bigger rumour is that this Talia is an AFL level player.

 

[JD Tomahawk]

I could believe that.
The whole thing is fkd
Poor guy has been left for dead. As if he did this intentionally.

 

[Masto]

AFL being a bit precious if this is true

Poor guy? He's lucky he hasn't simply been deregistered! Give us a spell.

What did he say then?
A convo with his brother about the game there teams are involved in isn't a crime. He had a slip of the tongue and his brother went and told his team mates.
It's very easy to do. I'm sure you've blurted something out by accident and either not thought twice About it or said to yourself s**t I shouldn't a said that.
A small fine for a silly/stupid mistake that prob had no bearing on the game.
Either way shouldn't take this long, its some kids life on display for people like you to arc up because he's "betrayed" your squeeky clean fc

Wasn't it rumoured for awhile that Talia was going to the Crows before the incident?

So is the AFL trying to cover for the Crows because Talia was passing inside info onto the club he had already made arrangements to go to? If the Crows had a back room deal with Talia, then this is commercial espionage at it's finest.

AFL Integrity Unit back to it's usual form. Nothing to see here.

You don't really believe that do you?

Conspiracies aside, I suspect the reason Adelaide aren't pursuing him is because they know they'll be able to grab him in the pre-season draft.

 

[2006_Eagles]

Disrepute! Disrepute!

 

[Porked04]

Every other player end up leaving the Camry's. The AFL should be applauded for looking out for Talia

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Didn't M Talia tell D Talia that Dickson was going to tag Brodie smith off a half back flank. Dickson 5 goals later....

 

[JD Tomahawk]

You don't really believe that do you?

Why not. I don't know the character of the bloke to say he's a cheat.
Or what he even said.

Yeah this. The club was never going to trade for M Talia anyway.

God the hypocrisy of Dogs supporters.

Heard for days we should wait for the full story before we said anything about Bevridge etc, but nah Talia is lucky to not be deregistered....pull head in

 

[CaptainChardonnay]

AFL told Adelaide they couldn't draft or trade him because Sydney needed a KPD. True. I swear. Cross my heart and hope to die.....

 

[Dacksaredown]

Since when do the AFL make trades?

Not sure if I've missed it, but any idea what he actually passed on?

That must be how Sydney tore us apart in our first final in 2012. And Tippett had a shocker, but had a belter against Hawks. Obviously wanting to tank again against his new club in the GF.

 

[Superstar swan]

Doesnt sound like the afl at all to make rulings on the fly or orchestrate behind the scene decisions. Joke of an organisation

 

[Torkona]

Dunno why people wanted M Talia at the crows. Wouldn't see much game time there. Unfortunately for him he's only just a fringe afl player.. just.

Afl has "influenced" this stuff for years

Surprised a GC supporter is even asking the question given how some of your guys ended up their

Up their what?

And which 'guys' specifically are you referring to?

Up there (bloody fat fingers!!)

GAJ for starters. Would have stayed at the Cats thanks to Cotton On if not for the AFL conveniently deciding that arrangement was going to be unacceptable, from that day forward

They did it for Lockett, Buddy, and Scully - afl wants marquee signings up north, and has and will always do what's needed to effect those moves
