Did you forget to plug in your brain today Geoff? That's 2 stupid mistakes in 5 minutes. You're better than that.
Yes we would have.The trade would have got to the same point and Indian standoff would have occurred and the AFL would have said - oi, what the hell is going on.
Contracts existed before e-mail and they would have been filed away and a paper copy would have existed. The AFL would have asked for a copy and if we shredded them, we would have been in deeper doo doo.
All true, but the emails were a key piece of evidence against us. Probably would have copped a lighter sentence had the case against us not been so tight.
The stand off may not have happened had the AFL not been aware of some of the emails Caro had seen, who knows the AFL may have seen them as well. Hence they would not allow the trade to go through and forced the issue. Remember Caro had been claiming through 2012 she had seen emails about the clauses. Which the Adelaide Media laughed off. Not a big stretch that part of her getting information (she knew the penalties for both Melb/Adelaide well before handed out) out of the AFL for stories is that she too shares info with them if she comes across it.
Yes this is tin foil hat stuff, but there is a stong AFL/Caro relationship.
Anyway, it was more a light hearted comment on how dumb Reid, Harper and Trigg were to use email for such a thing. Don't use emails when you want to hide something......
