As a fellow father, I think if I worked in the industry and was asked to comment on something related to my family I would offer a "no comment", rather than discredit myself.
To me that might end up being the story of the year, a "Replacements" style team being fielded.
I think the assumptions of the Bombers getting wooden spoons are being very generous to other teams, especially my Blues.
As an outsider looking in (born and raised in QLD, living in Melbourne for a decade now), I'm amazed by the "free pass" that large sections of the media have given the players.
The non-disclosure alone shows that there was more to it then "we thought it was all above board".
I know that other...
That's a petty point, raised by the Herald Sun also that I think isn't necessary.
You can't compare the two events and there connections to the respective crowds, (which where both Melbourne crowds by the way)
There is a time and place for code wars and this isn't it
Agreed.
Pretty disgraceful though was the petty "code wars" article written by the Herald Sun about it though.
In a time like this is that stuff really necessary?
Bec Wilson is the least credible journo in World sport.
She claimed in the Sydney press that the AFL handled this far better then the NRL only recently.
Following the well worn path of home nation sporting administrators finding their athletes "not guilty" only to be trumped by WADA.
You have to think if the AFL just handed out a token 3 weeks this would be over.
And to think I thought this season was a write off!
I got the impression that was somewhat "pre-arranged".
In so much as the players, sought and got some sort of assurances that that ASADA or WADA wouldn't be appealing the sanctions if they accepted them.
Don't quote me on any of this however.
There's an important lesson learned in this for all players.
And that is, let your groupies,leechers and hangers get your gear for you.
Well done Suns obviously listened well to that training advice from head office.
