He is a pig who should never have been allowed back in the AFL. That he was proves, despite their efforts to suggest otherwise, the AFL stand for nothing.

Was it proven the allegations with the football staff?

 

[BloodySwan]

The West Australian reporting Beverage to Freo.

Bevo is a subpar coach who throws enough things around he gets lucky at times.

Was it proven the allegations with the football staff?

The "internal investigation", by the way, was done by Lyon loyalists. Unsurprisingly the external investigation ended differently. I believe the woman 100% in this case because it checks out with things that every person I've known who has known, played for or worked with Lyon has said - that he's a creep, a bully and a tyrant.

Yikes thats appalling not sure how he is back in the industry.

As I said the AFL can give all the speeches they want on how there's "no place in footy for (insert particular wrongdoing)", but their track record when it comes to consequences for the culprits suggests there very much IS a place in footy for (insert particular wrongdoing), if the culprit's willing to lay low for 6-12 months til the PR storm blows over.

And ch9 had him on the books

 

[dosser]

If true, Hope he doesn’t take Jamarra with him. Sydney is much closer than Perth.

In any case it could cause some upheaval at the Dogs - JUH may not like the new coach.

If he takes Jamarra with him then Freo won't need McDonald.

Tarryn Thomas.

I rest my case.

Papley's 2yo won the first race at Randwick today, which should have him in a good mood given how he and a few others lost their mind when their horse won at Sale (or wherever it was) a couple of years ago.

and P McCartin also in the ownership group. Clarke was on course, which makes me wonder if he is going to be staying in Sydney. He would be a more than handy top up player for the reserves.

And one that Coolmore paid $2.5mil for.

The accountant at Coolmore must get chills every time Magnier walks out of the office with his parents' company credit card.

Mid-season Draft is happening:

The league has asked clubs to lodge submissions on a number of major issues but it’s believed the change to trading, allowing players to switch clubs during a season, will be ticked off for 2025.

And here are the other items:

The submissions from clubs will also deal with topics such as:


- Loosening the rules on matching bids for Academy players in the top 40 of the draft, after teams like West Coast complained;

- Changes to the draft bidding and points system, following Gold Coast’s ability to easily obtain the draft picks needed to match four first-round bids;

- Whether pick purchasing (buying draft picks by giving up unused salary cap space) should be introduced;

- Ideas on how to bring more Indigenous and multicultural players in to the league;

- AFLW and Under-18s league rules.

Clarke signed with the NT mob. Part time at best.

I think that is just an off season comp.

Ah! Would love him playing VFL for us and doing something else too. Good clubman. Gotta make a living though.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

He almost certainly will play somewhere in addition to NT. Would be good if he plays with vfl with us.

Dont know if he has developed business interests or studied. Sports science could be his bag.

Zero issues with any changes that may come from there. Think the changes will be streamlined with academy/nga/FS so it's not a bad thing if it is the same thing across the board, least there will be less whinging every year. The GC situation won't happen again or at least it won't be as terribly easy for them to match, you want the players you take yourselves out of the next draft.

 

[Crust]

Part of me wants to hate St Kilda.
But I cannot because Nick Riewoldt played for it.
When he took that mark, horizontal, running backward at the SCG I put his courage alongside Paul Kelly's.

Im holding my breath but the logistics around player movement mid season does not induce well for both NSW clubs.

I wouldn't be so sure about it. They'll always find something to whinge about.

There will be strict rules on mid season trades and we can use it to our advantage anyway if we aren’t having the best season, it can be a positive. Bank extra assets going forward.

Collingwood won the flag with NGA and father son picks in their team. Not sure the northern academies are the issue in the race for equality.

Vic fans keep complaining how unfair the Academies are, yet Victorian clubs continue to win premierships. The balance of power is still in their favour and they willfully ignore
