WTFIts as clear as mud, but you essendon supports think that stuff is normal now
why would they specifically single JD out as someone who must not play in the Williamstown hitout because he was eligible for the NAB?

They DONT have the right to rest players from a senior match to play in a "match simulation". Sure they can, if they are resting. And it is absolutely disrespectful, but what else is new...
The AFL anti doping code covers all players playing Australian Rules Football, even minors.
So no other club has ever rested players from the NAB Challenge and subsequently trained the **** out of them? Hawthorn's senior coach couldn't even be stuffed doing his job last week or this ffs.
Drawing a long bow here wook.

He also didn't go to the afl asking for permission to bring in a coach from another club because they didn't have enough etc.No drawing a long bow is Essendon making the assumption that they can continue to skirt rules with a "match simulation" and have nobody notice. You can rest a player from a game, sure, but like the AFL says, you cant be involved in any kind of competitive environment that week too. Which is of course, exactly what happened.
And while Hawthorns senior coach may have taken the week off, he wasnt at Box Hill coaching a friggin "match simulation" instead was he?
They're not my rules mate.Bullshit.

WTF

"Player means a person who is or has been included on a Club's list, a person eligible to be so included, a person bound to a Club or a person who has nominated for any AFL draft"
This list would obviously include anyone under 18 years of age too.
what does it matter. The AFL wouldnt let JD play because he wasnt provisionally suspendedOk I'll play. How many 2012 listed players took part in this "match simulation" then?
Yes, I'm sure they thought no one would notice.
So intra club competitive work is out too?
Doesn't matter where he was, it shows how seriously all clubs take the NAB challenge. The fact that you all have your panties in a bunch over a game that no one has ever given a **** about is hilarious.

true. No law against stupidity
No it's actually why you shouldn't have top ups unless specifically on a one for one basis, (ideally made public). The potential for abuse is pretty high and frankly your club's administration is hardly regarded as trustworthy.

fine, JD is provisionally suspsended. Happy now?If you can't see why that question is relevant then I really need to refer you to your earlier post:

I was actually trying to find this:Quite true. But there are players who play ARF who are not "players" under that definition.
Yeah but they didn't have the option of playing some other clubs players.
How the **** would anyone know? Do we have a comprehensive list of every player who has missed a pre season game and whether their club engaged in any sort of inter club "match simulation training" on the same weekend? No?
Can we include Carlton players that shouldn't be on an AFL list?Ok Dave. When Marc Murphy missed the Nab game against WCE how many players not on the carlton list did we bring in?
Ouch!Can we include Carlton players that shouldn't be on an AFL list?
I was actually trying to find this:
Application of AFL Anti-Doping Code to Australian Football Matches
Laws 2.2 and 21 of the Laws of Australian Football provide that the AFL Anti-Doping Code shall apply to all Australian Football Matches. Accordingly, the AFL Anti-Doping Code shall apply to Australian Football Matches that are administered at State and Territory level, and at the community level.
The AFL Anti-Doping Code therefore applies to Australian Football Matches administered by:
- NSW/ACT: AFL (NSW/ACT) Commission Ltd (ACN 086 839 385)
- NT: AFL (Northern Territory) Ltd (ACN 097 620 525)
- QLD: AFL (Queensland) (ACN 090 629 342)
- SA: South Australian Football League Inc (ABN 59 518 757 737)
- TAS AFL (TAS) (ACN 135 346 986)
- Victoria: Australian Football League (Victoria) (ACN 147 664 579);
- WA: West Australian Football Commission Inc (ABN 51 167 923 136) (Affiliated State & Territory Bodies)
The AFL Anti-Doping Code also applies to all Australian Football Matches that are administered by the various community bodies that affiliate with (or are licensed by) Affiliated State & Territory Bodies.
Is it still bullshit Dave?
Ok Dave. When Marc Murphy missed the Nab game against WCE how many players not on the carlton list did we bring in?
Can we include Carlton players that shouldn't be on an AFL list?
