Roast Ladhams (3mtch) & Houston (2mtch) COVID Breach

[PowerBaz]

How is paying someone their salary under the table / via another method , so as not to appear on the books in the salary cap (albeit for staff not players), a salary cap breach?

You are joking right?

So get an ABN and invoice it separately, can’t they have two jobs?

Seems like the AFL punishment extends to making us select Bonner this week.

I wonder if the club could appeal the fine handed to them that is included in the soft cap. The AFL changed the rules regarding team fines for COVID breaches shortly before the Taylor incident, but to the best of my knowledge (and please correct me if I'm wrong), the breach by Ladhams and Houston happened BEFORE the AFL changed this rule.

Chris Davies spoke incredibly well at that press conference.

Chris Davies is the real reason for our current renaissance.

 

[It Just Is]

Do we even send to the soft cap? I doubt it

Renaissance? Haven't you got the message that we're living in a sporting groundhog day and the only way to get out of it is to point it out in every single thread?

I watched that presser and I knew, Chris Davies is a reptilian.

It's a long way back into the team for Ladhams now. If Westhoff plays even half acceptable football, they won't drop him for Ladhams after such an enormous breach of trust. He's lost his spot in the best 22 and won't necessarily get it back this year.

 

[Hodges 153!]

According to some reports there were photos on social media.

Facebook post by “an SANFL player”....

Aidyn Johnson would be my guess.

 

[power09]

Ladhams could of screwed the bat and I'd still pick him over Westhoff.

 

[HighBudget]

Gee we are kissed on the pecker in this instance

If we were the first (I know Wines breached the rules but that wasn’t the same) to do this then the outcome would’ve been different no doubt

Yep. Marshall to come back as well. That's one selection headache that has just disappeared. With only 2 games left of the regular season for Ladhams to force his way in, we're probably going to need to s**t the bed against a couple of the worst sides in the league for him to even be considered.

I'm not discounting that Westhoff doesn't play well enough to keep his spot. But in an instant we've switched from the backup ruck/third forward role being Ladhams' to lose to it being Westhoff's to lose. And to be perfectly frank, after this episode, I hope the dedicated 14 year pro plays well and keeps his spot and plays finals ahead of a young fella who has clearly got well ahead of himself.

Even if Westhoff goes out, we might run with a Dixon/Marshall/Georgiades setup and get Dixon or Marshall backing up in the ruck. The 2nd ruck spot just sort of happened because Ladhams played well enough that he kept his spot ahead of Westhoff, but if Marshall had been fit he might have lost his spot anyway.

 

[Chokito]

*in grade A morons.

I’m more upset with Dan. He could have been a future captain. He’s probably lost more respect than Pete, I reckon.

Deserve to not play again this year.

 

[dav3]

You moron, Robbo.

Robbo is clearly embracing Thirsty Thursday, although that campaigner surely has to be perpetually drunk

 

[Nihilus]

Honestly a fair punishment in my eyes. Was expecting to see rest of H&A for both of them so this is better than that.

it might be for Ladhams (if you add the bye onto the 3 games) ... It will leave only the Essendon game for him to try and get in before the finals

(Houston will have the North & Essendon game because round 15 is the bye for us)

Ha look, as much as I like the way you think, and think it’s bull that we have copped it, it’s fraud, it’s cheating.

He is giving us a whack after hardwick complained only Richmond cops whacks, whilst then whacking Ox. Mrs hardwick will tell him off again this week.

If Westh can find form for two months of footy, he could well be a key ingredient in a flag.

That's like me going to a strip club and telling the mrs that I wasnt looking at t***ies..

Tbf on Frammo, the likely story that matches the penalties more was, the guys brought a couple of girls back home to consent as adults, rather than “a party”.

It’s the Port Tax.... maybe the AFL thought we could rub them out for longer or cop a fine.

The whole show is rigged, I heard a story that Richmond refused to play in WA against West Coast, just said ‘ up’ so the AFL rescheduled.

I do wonder what rules there are for coaches to get money in other ways - I mean it’s always played related.

Bass does have a legit side business though!

who knows.
