I can't get TWR

Can listen to 5AA, SEN, stream every other internet radio station in the world.... But not TWR!

Someone said you need to download Microsoft Silverlight. Not sure if that helps.

EDIT - WTF, why did we knock back the Bock pick for Ivan!?

We didn't knock that back. That is what we want.

Richmond offered pick 37. We knocked that back!

Ahh, well, good then

Its pretty much been said but Barrett is insisting that the law is the law. The AFL dont have the right to determine whether these transactions are in the spirit of the law. He said for example, was pinching Scully in his second year at Melbourne in the spirit of the law?

The AFL are trying to interpret their own rules on the fly and really have no right. If the rules allow it, they shouldnt be interfering.

They knocked it back under the 'genuine on-trade' proviso they have to veto any and all trades.

And really have you seen what they have been doing to the rules of this game? I agree with Barrett that the AFL are only interested in picking and choosing. They created the issue and are trying to cover their arses because of their own desire to rush at the gate.

This is much more realistic. I was shocked to read we'd knocked back the compo pick, hahaha.

 

[Freddy Bassett]

Maric,s manager just on AFL radio.Has stated that We rejected the Compo pick and that pick 37 is our offer.You guys wanted the Compo pick to get yourselves into the Mini draft.

In Rendell and Noble we trust

 

[WALL-e]

Thanks for the reply wall-e and pfft you bet, I still have that whip in my possession!

Yes, but it's limp and lifeless...

 

[PyroCrow]

Not that it means anything to us but it seems Matthew Warnock from Melbourne is going to GC.

 

[NikkiNoo]

*shakes head*

I am going to show remarkable restraint and not answer that WALL-e.

 

[Wood_Duck]

Ive worked it out, Carl is Hutchy.

'Of course you gift games, how else do you know if a kid can play'?



NB. For that matter Hutchy could be me.

 

[WALL-e]

....wow Hutchy being backing into a corner by....Plow....of all people.

Barrett > Hutchy

 

[PyroCrow]

Hutchy: Brisbane need to play the kids that will be part of their next premiership

Wallace: What KKP's do Brisbane have?

Hutchy: ummmmmm....

Poor Hutchy, gets ripped a new one by Wallace of all people

 

[big78sam]

Sayin how it's hypocritical that they assess this as against the 'spirit' of the game when they allowed Scully and Davis to be taken at other times when that wasn't in the 'spirit'.

That no court of law would uphold the 'sirit of the rules' rather than how the rules are written.

Where was the 'spirit of the law' when Adelaide were appealing the Gibbs decision. The AFL were fine sticking with the letter of the law on that one.

 

[WALL-e]

Gunna's manager Ned Guy on TWR next

That one didn't make the AFL look incompetent...

Surely the least they could do for us to help make amends for that and the loss of Davis is to let it go through. It shouldn't be about the spirit of the law, but the law itself.

I can just imagine this going to court and AA stand there saying "it's Mabo, its the vibe!"

 

[WALL-e]

Gunna's manager is a ball breaker. If you're not going to say shit, **** off.

 

[NikkiNoo]

Is it just me or does anyone else think Brisbane have been at the California Funeral Home Brownies?

They seem to only want players that are not going to be traded. First Tippett and now Lycett. They also think that Hudson will be a good role model for their younger players...

 

[Wood_Duck]

Did anyone else know that GWS has pre listed Lee Spurr?

 

[crowsarethebest]

TWR just said we made a play for Cale Hooker...

 

[Mr Grieves]

TWR just questioned the Essendon guy (didn't catch who he is) about the crows going after Hooker

 

[Wood_Duck]

TWR just said we made a play for Cale Hooker...

Dont think it got far, Tom Pretoro hasnt even been consulted, which suggests it never got very serious.

 

[Yoda_]

TWR just said we made a play for Cale Hooker...

What was said in it?

Any details? players? picks?

Crazy Vossy.

No details, Essendon guy said he was unaware about the Crows making a play. TWR heard it via a text..

 

[Hank93]

What was said in it?

Barely anything, the manager had no idea about it.
