Toby Greene... probably doesn't deserve to miss a final but jeez, no one to blame but himself.

The bloody game suffers because the punters want to see him out there!

Food and drink prices to increase at Adelaide Oval according to ABC.
WTF

Going to the footy would be so much fun if you had 18 Toby Greene’s on the ground at the same time.

 

[manureid]

The afl ignoring evidence to get the outcome they want. Shocked to be sitting here.

 

[Jojay]

Lol two of the three tribunal deliberators are ex Collingwood (Shane Wakelin and Paul Williams) who interrogated Greene for 22 minutes... which apparently is unprecedented (cutting to every frame of the vision).

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Once Hawkins appeal was thrown out, Toby was doomed.

AFL wants a Collingwood v Richmond GF. Should be a great spectacle.

They must know the crowd numbers will be down next year so there getting in early.
If Ken gets an extension a Pie will cost $20 by 2021.

Well done to the Brisbane Lions as well, they played exactly how it should be played (unlike those dodgy campaigners at the Bay), didn't try and sink Greene, instead the complete opposite.

the AVFL should be investigated by the feds for corruption.

Just wait until you all see the advantage they'll get from the maggots this week, they might as well give Nichols another a gig.

 

[Grave Danger]

The Tribunal opted to ignore the favourable evidence of Neale, who told them he felt contact to his nose – but not his eyes – after being called to provide evidence by the Giants.

Such was the surprising nature of the result – given both the evidence of Neale and Greene – Greater Western Sydney now appears likely to launch an appeal on Thursday night.

Challenge fails: Tribunal stuns GWS, superstar still banned

Tribunal upholds Toby Greene's original one-game suspension but the Giants may appeal

[Jojay]

Lol they totally ignored Neale's evidence by labelling his testimony as some 'player code'

Yeah, apparently it's the clubs' fault for being crap, and therefore not pulling enough punters through the gate. The existing exorbitant pricing and poor quality options of course have nothing to do with it.

It's a death spiral for food and drink.

The Herald Sun have a paywall article;

Two whistleblowers claim the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation did not properly investigate the Jaidyn Stephenson gambling issue, Melbourne tanking saga or Talia brothers cheating allegations.

They allege the investigations were whitewashes and the body is beholden to the AFL.

The claims have been referred to the independent Broad-based Anti-Corruption Commission (IBAC).

Yeah you got me stumped. I can't find any reference to whistle blowers at any of your posted links.

 

[TeeKray]

Jarryd Roughead just labelled Shaun Burgoyne a future Hall of Fame LEGEND on 360. Bloody hell.

Maybe too many snouts in the trough.

Blight just gave his top 3 candidates for the crows job...

Mattner
Bassett
Schoey (gulp)

I have a sinking feeling....

Schoey is starting to get some traction on the crows board.i believe the crows and freo for that matter know who they want but both clubs will interview a couple of others to show thier doing the right thing. Alot of times clubs have 1 person in mind interview them then interview others to see how they compare and unless one blows them away they will go with thier original thought. The crows tried getting shoey as an assistant before so he could be the one im hoping not. But im still hearing it will be burns.the afl would know already if the crows have one in mind as they have to rubber stamp it as thats how the boards of adel and us are set up.both andy maher and tim watson have said it will be burns and i think those guys are getting a leak from someone they know in the inner sanctom of head office so i think it will be burns

 

[Enviable Tradition]

No CEO is going to say otherwise, even if the intent is to bottom out.

Clubs say different all the time.

They dont say we are going to bottom out but they do say we wre going to focus on bringing in young talent and hitting the draft.

It wouldn't be surprising if they hire one of our assistants. At the same time, how pathetic would they look pinching 2 Port assistants in 5 years?? #metoos

I don't think they give a rats how they look and tbh all I'm concerned about is us not losing out again.

I've got no doubt Schoey has been shortlisted... I don't even want to contemplate him at the crows and getting them up and about and us stuck with you-know-who.

I don't think we'd recover..

Going to the SANFL Grand Final on Sunday. It may be the last game of footy I watch at AO for at least 18 months.

I don't think Jarrad Schofield will go to the Crows. Might be interesting though, with son Taj Schofield playing for Port.
