Potential training breach?

[BRL121]

far out i don't think Essendon's drug programme ever got the adjective 'flagrant' attached to it

\No, that was 'fragrant'.

Our club are run by idiots.

I seriously think the club will be shocked by the amount of refunds and cancelled memberships they will deal with this week.

They should not be shocked but they will be, they live on another planet.

Lol. April fools. If it's any more than a 1k fine they should fight it in court. Afl don't have a leg to stand on here. The fact we are even talking about this is quite ridiculous.

I will be asking for a refund and cancelling first thing Monday if those are the sanctions and we don’t fight it in court.

TBH it provably needs to be 50K. 8 players broke the rules, that isn't great.

Hi guys...it’s $100k fine and loss of two draft picks...absolutely ridiculous and typical AFL

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Surely a suspended sentence is called for here, whatever asset they choose to use

Thanks Tom

Stephen Marshall doesn’t care.
The Police Commissioner doesn’t care.
This is only an issue to the AFL because Victoria has a premier who can’t get his shit together.
If the AFL was a National comp they’d get on with it and the Vic clubs miss out.

 

[Interloperer]

A thought re: deleted tweet. I wonder if the draft-pick penalty is actually suspended. ie, "screw up again in any way and we take draft picks."

...or Adelaide had suspended draft pick sanctions hanging over them from previous infractions.

 

[hey shorty]

Known flog Adrian Barisch going with that line too.

Surely some of that is suspended.

 

[Peter Doherty]

The club admin are ****ed.

They will read the cancelled memberships as a sign of supporters being angry at the players.

Zero awareness that people are pissed off with how weak the club have been in just copping a ridiculously over the top sanction.

This is the main thing people are pissed about.

6 draft picks in 8 years will be more than what Carlton copped that killed them for a decade

Thanks Tom

It's more than what they copped for systematically cheating for decades

Surely we aren't copping that

First comment of the thread is him saying "hold the breaks not sure yet". Literally plagiarized Tom Browne.

No ****ing way, Adam Kelly doesn’t appear to be the type to take bs

Less than 6 months from a "club" wide review this happens. Unfortunately the leadership at this club again chose to protect themselves from scrutiny rather than allow the club to move forward in better shape. Fagan and Chapman need to go, I am so sick of the Crows shooting themselves in the foot.
It's literally why we cannot compete with the West Coast's, the Hawks, the Tigers etc of this competition.

No-one can properly compete with the big
Victorian clubs. This “competition” is a corrupt joke on every level.

Yes we (WCE) are rich. But we have absolutely no say in anything. We accept the shit as well.

However, there was the talk of an interstate “alliance”, led by WCE, the AFC and Sydney. I think some dialogue has started there.
Also, Fagan is on the finance committee or something? Seems to be well regarded.

Don’t be so quick to write off your club...Positive steps have been taken. This is a minor setback really.
Mr Chapman needs to go. That is the next and biggest thing required imo.

 

[BACCS]

Why would Browne post that though? He’s actually been reasonable on this issue

 

[slice]

The AFL will ensure that this is announced on Vic Ch7 news.

West Coast is well run. Adelaide is not. All the advantages this club has (being the number one team in town) is squandered by incompetence.
