Potential training breach?

My point is the executioner (AFL) have a history of being brutally unfair penalty wise to use and we need to stand up to that kind of behavior. I'm scared that we may lose draft picks we cannot afford to lose.

We chose extra draft picks last time to save Trigg’s job and the board’s face. Some even argued in here that the picks had no real value.
 
Nicks has already taken responsibility for it.

Nicks forced to throw himself on the grenade that fell out of Hart’s pocket, the pin catching on a zip and coming out on the way down. ”gotta take one for our 300 game boy Nicksy, if you’re around in a decade, we’ll give a shit about you too”.
 
Love seeing this term used repeatedly nowadays "based on the advice of medical professionals"...

'My computer has stopped working... Should I... Well based on the advice of medical professionals'

'I just had 1 beer.... Based on the advice of medical professionals'

'The roads congestion is becoming an issue, should we... Well based on the advice of medical professionals'

'14 fit young men in private grounds were kicking a footy.... Well based on the advice of medical professionals'

Seriously... appreciate we need guidance but can we stop goign overboard. These unelected technocrats who've never seen a ballot box in their lives need to stop over reaching.

It’s the medical advice from medical experts that have seen us get through this relatively unharmed. While I agree with your statement that a group of fit players in isolation is a very low risk, that doesn’t give them the right to break the rules.

I’d swear the AFL has photos of Chapman bonking a goat or something.

The AFL knows what the board accepted instead of sacking Trigg. Remember Vlad openly laughing at Chapman when Chappy was so pissed that Essendon were described as cooperating where we didn’t? The weasel was typing his response.

Honestly as much of a slime ball as Vlad was, I believe him telling the truth about us not cooperating.

I think we made a big song and dance about cooperating while behind closed doors we did everything we could to deflect the blame from Trigg.

What anti-intellectual garbage.

If your computer has stopped working and you don't know much about computers, you talk to someone in IT.

If the road congestion is an issue you talk to a transportation planning expert.

Is you have a pandemic and you want someone to set policy to minimize the risk of spread you go to medical professionals NOT '14 fit young men', for decision making.
 
I'm just sick to death of our club making dumb, stupid and most importantly avoidable errors!

It's been a complete shit show for a decade now, scandal after scandal, the only people that are hurt in this is the fans, we absolutely cop it time after time. The joy of winning a footy game can only get you so far.

We just had a god damn review where they scapegoated a few dudes and nothing has bloody changed.

We need an entire new board, every single current member has to go and the new board can not be connected to the the club in any way, no past players or business owners that share assest with past or present players. Just people who can proactively run a business without all the bureaucratic bullshit.

Oh no, Trigg was being sacrificed and the AFL keeping the first year of draft picks we offered up. Trigg turned on the board and threatened to bring them down with him. The board then chose their reputations ahead of club best interests and negotiated the extra sanctions required to keep Trigg. That’s why Vlad could openly chuckle when Weasel was acting all tough.

Sam McClure was almost live tweeting is report to SAPOL and the big investigation.

I almost want a Rucci like counter to see how long it takes him to report on the.

Craig Hutchison and Damian Barretts Sounding Board podcast is pretty good, after a few episodes you get enough tidbits to know that it's all just a game for clicks and outrage.

The cost, which as they didn’t come from overseas, is probably being worn by the club. Would cost $50,000+ for 16 players (each in separate room) for 14 days.

Oh and sack Hart FFS!

Do we have a list of who the players are?

That’s a very long rant for a very minor mishap that was only brought in because Victorian clubs complained.

It is the most ridiculously petty rule the AFL has ever brought in, especially when Victorian clubs will be at a massive advantage when games start back up and we can’t play home games for a while.

All other rules are state based right now, so why are the AFL above that?

I think you missed my point, being a bit sarcastic and tongue in cheek, but forgot how serious people have become over last few months.

Seriously i just listened to Nicks on MMM, he managed to hide Hart for most of it.

Seriously how could a miscommunication occur with an assistant coach FFS.
 
I still follow the club and I keep up to speed (relatively) with the league and forums, but I'm so disillusioned with the whole lot at the moment. At a club level and league level. The whole thing, combined with the rabid media, is just a cesspool. Throw in a disjointed season and I'm just about done.

That may be so but every other club has mananged it fine, are you not tired of our club constantly being made fun of in the media for making stupid mistakes? It has happened far too often under Chapman, it's time for him to go.

The only clubs who have to worry about it reside outside Victoria and NSW. The rule has also been in place for about a week and given restrictions are likely to be eased in those states by next week, does this really matter in the scheme of things? They’ve deserved criticism for a lot of other issues in the past, but this just seems petty.

I hate when our club gets dragged through the media, but people will forget/won’t care next week when all clubs can train as groups of 10 anyway.

It’s been very hard to read on this up here in Darwin
So we have only breached some Victorian piece of recommendation
WA is in the same boat
Had enough of it to be be honest
Why have our Club been so apologetic to these mugs that make up rules as they go

You would imagine Nicks/Kelly and co are absolutely livid with Hart and the players behind closed doors.

I reckon blaming "communication" is basically a very diplomatic way of saying "I'm not sure how I could have made it any clearer, 8 groups of 2 players... but this ****-*** has managed to interpret it as 2 groups of 8!!!" You know, technically there was an issue with "communication". :rolleyes: ;)
