Potential training breach?

I belive our has proven over and over and over again it can't be trusted.
If you're dumb enough to believe a group of players got together in the city or anywhere more than once without being spotted then I can't help you.
 
At this point in time I would actually like the season scrapped. We are at the beck and call of what the Vics want. Training in groups of 2 to appease what the Peoples Republic of Victoria laws is head blowing even though we are a bit more liberal with our rules. They want Hubs there although there rules are strict. Yes it was dumb for a larger group to try what they did. They should have known better. I am loosing interest in AFL quickly.

Do we need any further evidence to dislike Derwayne? A draft sanction for a rule that will dissolve in two days anyway, is this bloke serious?

This is akin to the admin errors regarding drug test reporting for player whereabouts, we aren’t gaining any advantage by our players training in a larger group for one session! Heck, Melbourne didn’t get any draft sanctions for admitting to tanking ffs
 
West Coast and Fremantle can't play at home, neither can we at least in the short term.

Tasmania have told Hawthorn to stay away.

This season is a disaster.

Yet old mate Derwayne thinks we deserve draft sanctions for some perceived advantage that will be dwarfed by having to play home games interstate to start the season.
 
Jake Niall pushing for a hefty fine that'll significantly dent our coffers. Good idea in the current economic environment for sure!
To be honest that's probably the harshest penalty they could give currently. I still think it'll be a partially suspended fine

Don't listen to Dwayne. He is a crows hater from way back. Draft picks? Lol. Yeah next they will be saying take the licence away. American sports leagues would have a good laugh at us.

Personally I think the AFL should fine each player a low amount. They should know better.

The club should be fined a moderate amount and the staff that were present a moderate amount as well. They are in charge and botched it.

The club should sanction Ben Hart independently of the AFL too.

The police can then fine everyone again if they also broke quarantine rules
 
And here comes the media push for us to receive draft sanctions.
Of course they are

Those who still have jobs will be painfully aware that every passing week without an AFL restart is another week towards them joining former colleagues on JobSeeker

We already have the WA government insisting their footballers have to follow the 2 week self isolation, ie WA football teams cannot return to WA and keep playing.

What if the Vic government now says to the AFL: “we were going to approve your proposal, however yesterday’s events make it clear that your employees are not capable of following the rules, so we will be holding off for one more month and then reassess”

Can we go a Dean Bailey type solution where we just put the entire punishment on the coach rather than the club and have him banned for a year or two?
 
Vader: I’m starting to sympathise with you, do I go on the cruise or don’t I,
Do I continue to follow this club or don’t I, maybe they could just fold and put me out of my misery.
Put the best football department together in the comp= club, put together the best should equate to less f***ups, I just continually see f***ups whether major or minor, the AFL in its bias does enough damage to football followers,it would be nice if my club could keep my dwindling interest alive, but know it’s assisting in its murder, I have been hanging in there by a thread and it’s fraying, please get your shit together as at my age many pleasures are dwindling

Why wouldn't anyone?
Diet is a significant part of the daily life of an AFL player, they eat at the club every day and their pregame meals are prepared for them. They arent highly paid either so its a simple decision to keep them

The best solution would be a hub in SA or WA. Players are so entitled that they can't possibly not sleep in their own bed for 5 or 6 weeks. Give me a break. The pandemic has made me see the players and league in an honest light. Well, i already knew the vfl was corrupt tbh and already knew the players were entitled whingers but this only further reinforced it. Just scrap the season. Let the players realise the game doesn't revolve around them after their pay is cut 70%.

There is 0 chance we get a hub after this **** up.
