Thunderdoc,
Thank you for your reply, ever the educated with all things football, it is a little strange when the rules are flaunted and no one seems to give a "rats rectum." it seems that if the AFL are prepared to let this slide then how can we take the top level seriously? I mean the drug saga at Essendon and the what seems to be a culture at Collingwood during the off season - One would have thought when 2 of the Qld boys got caught out via an apparent - alleged chemistry change early last year, someone (one would have thought the bloke who blames everyone but Collingwood for their faults and lack of success) may have put a broom through the locker room and cleaned it out!!!!!!
Rules are rules (Sol), we either play by and within them or we have an opening to create anarchy and in my humble opinion, when we start giving dispensations (turning a blind eye) for certain policies, for certain clubs, that have been adopted and set in stone being ever so small, then the fabric of the game we all have played and love is always brought into question - Who is controlling our controlling body???? Oh that's right the controlling body is - Is there something wrong with this type of system or am I just being the over kill kid!!!!!!!!!
It would be interesting if Aspley go down to the Sun's tomorrow at Metricom or any other side for that matter throughout the year (which could be unlikely), if a protest is not sent in for a NEAFL Rules committee ruling on this obvious breach of the rules agreed too by all of the clubs within the competition and in turn the ruling body. I am sure that if 4 competition points are put on the line, then their (The Sun's) player policy would fall into line with those created rules for the total Competition.
