I imagine you thought you handled it well then too.
The relevance is as obvious as your obliviousness. Which is equally obvious
That’s where you go wrong, and probably why you fell flat with Cornesy too. You’ve gotten too convinced and missed the wood for the trees.
It is NOT Patrick Keanes view! It is a formal statement on AFL policy on behalf of the league.
He was not offering his personal view. He is conveying a league statement.
That you are hanging you hat on something so wrongheaded is quite astonishing
And the idea that a league update on the same rules you’re trying to interpret isn’t relevant is undignified and craven
With strawmen like that, I bet you sure showed Cornesy
Patrick Keane is the AFL, he is the media manager and official spokesman.
It’s like your claiming the general rules apply to Sloane, but the update to the same rules don’t apply to Sloane.
Just wow.
1. If you didn’t ignore them how do you explain your posts yesterday?
2. An official league statement isn’t a league source? Really?
3. And yet you’ve made a song dance about one article you’ve claimed as fact merely because you’re so become emotionally invested in this idea of being a backyard lawyer
This confirmation basis of yours is taking over
That’s the whole point!!!!
The absence of consensus is reason enough for doubt.
As has been explained slowly, fast, and everything in between, over and over and over, and over, there are all sorts of people, well place people, claiming something different - does that not give you pause?
If it’s so simple why isn’t everyone on the same page?
For example, when Jake Niall wrote 2 (3?) weeks ago that Sloane was a RFA and then a couple of hours later issued a retraction saying he was actually a UFA - what do you think happened there? Is it all possible he might have spoken to the league media manager and official spokesman for example?
Your certainty in a murky field is inexplicable.
A change that might be like the one flagged up months ago by the league spokesman?
Fact is, I don’t know what the situation is and I’ve said that many times. I’ve also said neither do you
Difference is you’ve been so insistent that you do know, that when you spied one recent article that might vindicate you it was irresistible.
Lol
I’m as disappointed as when you sure showed ol Cornsey.
None so blind as those that will not see and in your case might be partial to the odd fib & untruth too
I think you might want to refer to the Leagues official spokesman?
Oh that’s right the leagues official spokesman doesn’t represent the league view! Lol
Or how about this PRESS RELEASE joint sponsored by the Players Association and the AFL
http://www.aflplayers.com.au/wp-con...FL-and-AFLPA-agreement-signed-in-Adelaide.pdf
But yeah, no matter how many times you’re given this you still haven’t seen anything from the league
It would be funny if it were so sad
Your workings are not worth as much as the league or the players association because you don’t even know if you are working from the latest version
Your entire premise is flawed on this alone. First step is to establish version control if you want brandish your interpretation
When more informed people than you have a different view, only one possible reason is you’ve outsmarted them all. There are others
What about the players association and the league?
You’ve seen the official press release enough times now?
20th of June 2017 it was issued
Um...
Have you even established version control?
No?
Have you attempted to establish version control? No
Have you
even asked or emailed the players association if this is the latest or most uptodate version? No
Have you ignored the press release from the AFLPA?
Yes.
They’re not just other people though are they? They are informed people working professionally in this area
Which you aren’t. Yours is not an equivalent opinion
Official opinions disagree, not just any opinions.
If you don’t think that counts for anything then more power to you
I’ll say it for the 59th ******* time
Here is one reason you might be wrong
http://www.aflplayers.com.au/wp-con...FL-and-AFLPA-agreement-signed-in-Adelaide.pdf
I’ll even give you the exact bit because I don’t think can be trusted to represent it accurately after all this time
View attachment 465121
Now this press release has been issued by Richard Goyder chairman of the AFL and Paul Marsh of the AFLPA.
But still nothing official FFS
That you can’t accept the meaning of Patrick Keane’s job description says it all
Despite all your denials you’ve become so emotionally invested in your backyard lawyer credentials that you’ve become hysterically in thrall to your confirmation bias
I wouldn’t nornally bother even replying to this huge pile of nonsense but I had nothing better to do
Fact and it is fact, there is a weight of evidence as to why we should be concerned about Sloanes status and anyone on here claiming certainty about his status is an idiot.
If anything the wind is clearly suggesting he’s more likely to be UFA.
But as I have said every single time, we have to wait and see.
