Just one question for Little:

"Do you believe the penalties we've accepted are fair?".

If he says "yes", was the club full of shit all year with the optimistic talk ?

If he says "no", then why have we accepted unfair penalties?
That's more than one question though. ;)

Did my best investigating (went through every player list of every round).

Notable players we can have in the VFL team;

Daniher
Pears
Gumbo
Jetta
Colyer
Dell'Olio
Hardingham
Davey
Merrett

Sure, they are not really amongst our most prolific players but all of them in the team at once! Now whether they go for that tactic or not I have no idea.

Edit: This is posted with the understanding that players have to had played 5 VFL games through the season. Somebody want to confirm or oppose that?

Goodwin has been prepare the team this week neither Bomber or Hird had any input, Bomber need to settle down mentally first after this instead of taking over a stressful job as coaching.

So I don't know how you think his feels say he is unlikely to coach 2014
You may be right... really I'm thinking about his attitude towards his mentoring role when he signed on; he just seemed over the senior coach role and the responsibility that comes with it. I was thinking that if he were angry with the League he would have been keen to coach this weekend. Training is tomorrow (IIRC) and team selection on Thursday - still would have been plenty of time to prepare himself and the players. Also, it's a dead rubber, so if he had put his hand up it would have been as a matter of principle.

I just want to know what the club was holding out for????

Looks like we lost points, picks, officials and massive fine... we could have taken that deal three months ago.. tbh we wouldn't have got such a heavy fine had we actually cheated...

We wouldn't you ******* take this to court.. nothing could be worse than this 'deal'... I don't give a crap what you have changed the charge sheet to.. the public don't care, I don't care, NO ONE will care.. yet you spent all your time trying to get the piece of paper to say you weren't cheats..

THE PUNISHMENT implies you are cheats you idiot morons... this should have gone to court.. and at least then the facts would have come out and we could have moved on as a club.. this is just painful and wrong.

We probably could have taken a better deal three months ago, but the AFL wanted Hird to stand down.

The whole case was all about Hird.
