Strategy Trade and List Management thread 3 (...The pining for the departed. Edition)

[Yojimbo]

GWS will want a priority pick now...

That's a number one priority pick, fella.

 

[jdz101]

Whitfield has to be on two strikes. He just has to. No player is dumb enough to do this if they are only copping a first or second strike.

Yup. All the effort to hide is pointless unless that was the case.

Culture problem at GWS confirmed

 

[perro_loco]

I wonder to what extent signings would be based on friendship maintenance. I've always been more productive, and have produced my best work, with supportive colleagues around me whom I consider friends.

Agree with this. Good camaraderie creates high productivity.

 

[perro_loco]

sor

Barlow
Geelong?
Forward?
Are you sure you have the right player in mind perro?

sorry, but perro was barking up the wrong tree. i meant mitch clarke from geelong.

was a good prospect a few years back.

 

[True Dog]

Whitfield 2 years?

We can only hope

 

[GetDimmaBack]

We can only hope

Should have got 2 years for trying to kill Jack McCrae in the PF...

 

[Ant_]

Backdated or pre-back dated?
AFL investigation has taken 16 months to get to this point...

Funny that

 

[Jen Geoffings]

That's an easy one.

Danny Del Rey.

It will forever be Phil O'keefe for me

Re: Whitfield, pretty disgusting that the Giants wanted to throw the girlfriend under the bus, too.

More evidence of the toxic masculine culture that was on display during the prelim.

 

[Dogs Rule]

The good Lord giveth with one hand (Deledio) and taketh with the other (Whitfield ban).

Karma's a b**** ain't it?

Absolutely disgusting and completely implausible. It's hard to see how they thought anyone would believe it when they made it up: "I told her I was trying to avoid drug testers to help myself get out of the relationship, and I was at Lambert's house because of a migraine".

How does that lie help him to get out of the relationship? "Hey babe, I might've taken PEDs accidentally, so we should break up." It's utter nonsense really.

If he was just trying to get some space and he actually had a migraine, why not "hey babe, I'm staying at Lambert's house because I have a migraine". Why on earth would he feel the need to hide the migraine from her? There's just no reason for him to make up the drugs story.

 

[doggies ftw]

Lol have a look at this gem from the giants board

"If that resolution includes draft sanctions against us that affect this draft I will lose my s**t.

We have given up so much to get to Pick 2, if that was taken away it would be ridiculous.."

So much heartache, so much pain.

They don't deserve this.

 

[Roscoe_au]

Whitfield is looking a 4 and wouldn't be surprised if Allen and Lambert get at least 12 months for their part.

Pies will be a basket case. Let Balme walk to the Tigers and took on a bloke who is under investigation.

Buckley assistant coach role at GWS confirmed

 

[Roscoe_au]

The fact the AFL has taken 16 months to investigate this is just a joke. They've obviously tried to sweep it under the carpet and hope people would forget.

The initial investigation done by GWS was by a friend of the Board with the Boards oversite. Final result "nothing to see here, move on"

Even more bizarre (albeit not surprising) that the woman who had oversite of the investigation is now an AFL Commissioner.

Learned nothing since 2013.

Trying to cheapen our flag by turning the competition into a basket case.

Rant over...

2018 priority pick to GWS confirmed

Whitfield janitor role at the Blues confirmed Now that Tutt has gone, Jones needs help pulling the skip onto the road.

 

[compact72]

GWS won't get any sanctions towards the club.

Will be a 4 year ban and move on.

Afl being very careful because of asada/WADA

Find it very hard that he will get a reduced sentenced because of the duration of the investigation

GWS failing to do a correct investigation of one of their own players should not result in a discount to sentencing.... But this is slightly off topic....

They should, but they won't.

 

[Yojimbo]

If Lachie Whitfield is doing performance enhancing drugs he
should ask for a refund as they are not working. Taking
some kind of perverse pleasure out of this is wrong and
would not happen if it were a bulldog player.

 

[gangsta deluxe]

Taking some kind of perverse pleasure out of it might be wrong. But I'm happy with not being a completely morally centred person. Let me tell you Yojimbo, it is the spice of life.

Suck s**t Whitfield.

It was illicit drugs he was trying to hide, not performance enhancing... The key is he was doing to run away from drug testers, wether he was taking prohibited substances or not

I think he thought the illicit drugs might have had traces of performance enhancing drugs (like Keefe and Thomas) and that's why he was trying to run away

Wait for AFL Tribunal to come along and say not guilty

Correct bobby2, i would imagine all the cocaine snorters would
have been shitting themselves during this period thinking did i
buy from the same tainted batch.
