2015 Non-Crows AFL Discussion - Pt. 1

I like your thinking but I fear you are being a little optimistic (little = a lot)

Get ready for the AFL to create another shitstorm to deflect, I am glad the Talia rubbish has been dealt with already. The AFL will be looking to smash another club if that's WADA's ruling.

There's still time!

ADELAIDE has become the ninth AFL club to be fined for failing to provide ASADA with up-to-date information about a player's whereabouts.

The Crows have been hit with a $2500 penalty for the breach.

They join Essendon, Port Adelaide, Richmond, St Kilda, Collingwood, Fremantle, Greater Western Sydney and the Sydney Swans, in breaking the same WADA rule.

In a statement, the AFL confirmed an Adelaide player had failed to keep the club informed of all his movements and contact details, althought the League did not name the player.

Can the AFL somehow go past this ruling? It'll destroy an entire club pretty much.

18 is too many anyway.

I have seen similar for other clubs over the offseason When the players are on their break (negotiated by the AFLPA) shouldn't it be the players responsibility not the club ?

Keep shitting in your own nest AFL. The karma will be a bitch when we fight back and contest the way you run your corrupt organisation.

Doesn't matter , as Wines will be going back to Victoria next season

If he was a crows player he would definately be going home next year.

He's not a bandwagonear, he's been following Port Adelaide since the 1870's.

My apologies

The punishment is losing the players and finishing last. Getting the first pick is as a result of where that club finishes. Getting a priority pick i'd argue against, but not changing draft picks. Unless the pick is removed altogether as an AFL imposed club penalty, but they've already had their go at that.

But they would still be benefiting from a punishment, which simply cannot happen. If they lost say 50% of their best 22 (for argument sake) it is without a doubt they would finish bottom or very close to. They would then receive the number one pick (or close to) when in actual fact there would be team(s) with a worse team than them. I'm not saying I have the solution, and I'm not suggesting take away their picks all together (because they've already had draft sanctions as you pointed out).

All I'm saying is if I were a Brisbane or Carlton fan, and knew my team was likely to finish bottom, I'd be pretty annoyed losing the number one pick to another team because of their punishment. Otherwise Essendon's penalty will have an effect on other clubs.

Doubt that very much. He'll be another xmas unwrapping LOL.

 

[footy4ever]

I can imagine if our club had promoted signing two players on one year extensions to see them play at 31 years old, the Power fans would totally not be laughing at us...

I know right. It would be the most stupid event since the beginning of time itself (time - which Port invented BTW)

Probability - 95% are just bandwagons

This isn't my first account young man. I originally joined in 2011. So I guess you could say reverse bandwagoner.
