Patrick Dangerfield Jake Lever isnt signing because
His manager is on holiday
His girlfriend wants to go home
We didnt offer enough cash
We have no culture

I love it, in fact Bigfooty should really change its name to BigTinFoilHats....

My Theory, Mackay and Kelly are only getting games to increase trade value for this years trade period.

Good one!

That was my theory with Lyons last year. Didn't work too well.

-Match fixing exists within the AFL

-There are multiple AFL stars who have not been dealt with under the AFL's drug and alcohol policy and who are currently playing with several strikes swept under the rug

-When the Essendon football club was raided there were a handful of other clubs who quickly dismantled similar, slightly less extreme programs of their own

All just 'theories' of course...

The spate of "depression" cases within the AFL are all about number of strikes on the player... (am I doin' it right?).

the theory goes that one extremely high profile player missed a finals series with a "mental health issue" to cover it up

Some but not all. The AFL is actually pretty good at dealing with legitimate mental health issues though which is why more players are feeling comfortable about addressing them publicly. Definitely one high profile case though.

Still, I'd be looking more closely at pesky quad injuries which take 15 rounds to heal.

Yeah good point, if Lyons got us a pick in the 40's then I'd hate to think what Mackay/Kelly would get us

Player managers are receiving kickbacks from certain clubs to urge their players to move.

 

[footy4ever]

Tex will get weeks for his push because the AFL hates us and are corrupt and are really the VFL in disguise and Rucci/Beveridge will be all over it

Yeah, this is supposed to be a tin foil hat theories thread. I don't think you're doin it rite.

-There are certain clubs which have the ear of the AFL and can manipulate, bend and influence the rules of the competition at their whim. The AFL is not and will not be a level playing feel (see Geelong and the trading of future picks)

We operate in another dimension as the West Coast Eagles

We have given way too much money to Victorian players and mid-tier plodders which is making it very hard to retain young talent and bring in quality from other clubs
