I thought this was a very interesting response from Clarkson. I mean, why didn't he roll out the video to show what toughness really is?
Craigy would be very disappointed in Clarkson.

Very quiet in the media given how close it is.

I stole a gulp of dad's beer - probably 10 yrs old. Remember my mother just losin' it over that LOL - Hated it so much I put off drinking alcohol until very late teens. - was Captain sensible.

I had my last drink at age 4 at a family gathering where I sculled an uncle's beer he'd barely touched without him noticing.

Haven't touched a single drop of alcohol since!

Bit like when they were fined for draft tampering - you know for the 6 or 7 guys that played in their only premiership team, but never gets mentioned anywhere ever. Almost like our paper doesn't want people to know some things...

If the lying to supporters and the public was done by the AFC it would be splashed all over our shitty little rag.

He's log a dog with a bone. Good on him. The AFL is a corrupt, drug riddled Aussie sport.

It was 4 players...Tredrea, lade, p Burgoyne and either Wilson or R james. All were key players in ports only premiership.

If you think the AFC has any control of the media in this state think again.

Francou said he was given a brown paper bag full of cash to not enter the draft so port could take him as a zone selection.

 

[chazwazza]

And that's not the most expensive seat! But it is the cheapest "reserved" seating. Absolutely ******* ridiculous. I refuse to pay that much money to go to the footy (unless it's the grannie!).

Just breezing through this Jenny so forgive me if I'm a bit off track but the Adelaide home games aren't e aptly cheap if you're not a member either. IIRC $35 for a general admission probably standing ticket, $55 for a reserved seat and $90 for a Cat A reserved seat.

 

[chazwazza]

KT exaggerated Ports losses to benefit his club then gives himself a payrise! Sounds Trigg-esque

Never let the truth get in the way of the whinging mob

yeh I'm pretty sure it was around 6 or 7 that had serious questions around them. Hard finding any information about it though. Funny it isn't difficult finding information about Carlton salary cap dodgy or the Tippett situation.

 

[*PAF]

I thought the X days from a game was based on current recovery ideology. If that is the case then it's something the players the being paid to and have accepted to do.

No issues with game etc bans if team rules are broken, however it is also up to the club to make sure they have rules in place for a reason and not just for the sake of it.

The media don't have leaks at wada.

Come on mate... where do you lunch?

Or we have a resident stalker

As a South supporter, I remember taking great interest in Lade. I remember reading / hearing in the media at the time that he was given 50 large. Whether that was correct or not, who knows.

Yeah, the first I heard about it was Francou admitting it on 5aa in the pre-game to a port match, while Rucci was a panelist with him, I expected it to be Rucci's story the next day, should have known better. You can bet if anyone ever gives new information about the Tippet saga, Rucci will be going straight to his computer and loading up his 'Tippett Story' microsoft word template.

While I think footy tickets are ridiculously expensive, at least you are a footy state. Supply and demand. Up here? If you were trying to grow a code, do you charge like wounded Bulls? Or try to entice people in with reasonable prices?

how much do the bronco and Titans charge?

what about the roar?

I dont know why the Gold Cost don't set a pricing structure for an 11 game membership at $165 ($14.95) for a child and $220.00 ($19.95) for an adult.

Get 20,000 every week and have them develop a real passion for the club.

$20 for 3 hours would be on par with a movie ticket, a few hours ten pin bowling and other formsw of entertainment.

blicavs proving to be a weapon

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Is there a rule that one team needs to play insipidly on Friday nights?

 

[mattymac]

Has there been a decent Friday night game this year? All these shit Melbourne sides are shit.

 

[BACCS]

Bruce was spot on then, the goal to Clark just before was vintage Geelong. Handball and run down the entire field, brilliant to watch!

Loving my Geelong tip, not sure why the Pies were such heavy faves

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Is it time to add a second Friday night game?

Saturday nights are good because if there's a stinker you can flick over. Usually get at least one decent game.

It's all or nothing on Friday nights at the moment. Usually nothing.

 

[Bacon8]

Terrible kick Pendles. Typical basketballer

Collingwood trying to do it in points

Good idea and I think Carlton have a few coming up
