Draft pick stripping was seriously on the table? WTF?
ok so this Tom Browne fellow
Did he just make up a tweet and had it ready to go incase draft picks were the sanctions and he just wanted to be first and he accidently published them early and deleted it straight away, meanwhile the other moron journalists and SEN managed to quote him as gospel even though Browne's original tweet was up for less than a minute?
is that what really happened?
is that what sports journalism/media actually is now?

Yeah you do, thats why Eddie quietly went about locking the GF away for another 2 decades with an existing contract still decades away from running out, just as WA's fantastic new ground came online and soon after the AO had been revamped, but we'll pretend it was to secure funding for upgrades if that's what you want to portray.
Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

There were in isolation from the rest of the community in a resort which is closed to the public for 6 months. How would they be able to transmit the virus?

Yes, you can absolutely say it is above the norm. Yes, they broke the AFL rules however the penalty does not fit the crime if it was what was intimated.
Shortage of warnings? Like to advise when we’re the multiple warnings were issued. Please provide the links.
The hookup was earlier that day - a few hours. The players had been up there since Tuesday.
Buggered if i know mate, I just follow the clearly laid out rules ... like the crows should have !!

Keep the tissues handy.
If we get pinned two draft picks you can hard spanking the monkey and use the tissues and if it is a slap on the wrist you can cry and use the tissues as well.
Gill had a phone hook up, literally hours before the crows were caught cheating.
Behave or else, players told as AFL talks to states
As the game moves closer to a resumption, the AFL has warned clubs that players will have to be on their best behaviour to ensure that the competition retains government support to proceed.
One source described the message, though not Hocking's language, as: "We don't want anyone to f--- it up.''
Crows' triple bogey has brought AFL into disrepute
There's no question the Crows have breached the trust that the league and the competition placed in them, and for that the AFL has to come down hard.
AFL football boss Steve Hocking could not have been clearer when he read clubs, if not the riot act, then a forceful directive to make sure that players played by society's and the game's rules in a phone meeting on Tuesday.
Then there is the phone meeting that Gill had hours before the Crows were caught cheating and breaching these instructions.
Gill has also threatened season long suspensions.

Well it helps if you actually have background information. Not shoot from the hip as you have done. Pretty sure the world and national health authorities have got more important issues than worry about a group in a resort which is isolated from the rest of the SA public.
The lack of social distancing this weekend is a much bigger issue to be concerned about.

In a phone meeting on Tuesday, AFL football boss Steve Hocking told the club football chiefs that players - and all staff - had to strictly observe the protocols and behaviours that had been carefully set up by the AFL in order for the competition to go ahead.

Caught cheating. Big words.
You just worry about your little games in Communist China.

so true..If Carlton had of followed your mantra they would be so much better off today. Oh well. Clearly laid out rules.
The background information was clearly laid out to the clubs.
Is it that difficult for your clubs people to simply follow the rules ?
What a laughing stock afc has become ...

You know its true.
Actions speak louder than words, you can deny the obvious fear of us interstaters all you like, but your actions give you away time and time again.
Look how you all get worked up when we mention Vic bias.
Its ok though, we generally just let you think you've got us fooled and get a kick out of watching you think you do.

Good Point.
Except it wasn't closed to the public. As confirmed by the resort last week.
In fact a visiting golfer was the one who reported the breach.
Enough with the false claims already.

Nope. The biggest risk to SA is people coming from outside SA borders where the virus is still active. That's why we have quarantine restrictions in place for those that do.
The crows players breached those restrictions. SAPOL have a lot more to worry about then people under quarantine restrictions ignoring them.
It really is very simple.
Do what your club has done. Accept a breach of SA laws was breached. Accept the club should have known better. Accept the warning from SAPOL not to do it again. Stop making stupid excuses that don't align with the facts and move on.
The AFL breach is a different matter entirely.

Believing Eddie renegotiated the Grand Final contract because there’s a deep seeded concern of other states by the Victorian public is a new one, that’s for sure.
But....everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
I’ll just stick to the facts. They seem more plausible.

And we're happy for you to believe that, I mean, its not like we can do anything to change it, so like I said, we just let you believe what you need to and pretend we're none the wiser.

The Barossa Novotel is closed to the public. It is closed to the public until the end of September. And I know as I had a booking for June for 7 rooms and they rang me and advised that as from end of March they were closing the resort for 6 months due to Covid.
It is only being used the Crows as a special case. It was possibly going to be used if they had a hub in Adelaide.
The golf course is situated next to the resort - that is the only common link. The golf course is not part of the Barossa Novotel resort.
Next time get your facts right.
I feel the only suitable penalty for us would be to be unable to play for premiership points for the whole year ala Melbourne Storm 2010.

The resort is closed to the public. There can be no transmission if the public can’t access the resort. The golf course is not part of the resort.
We have already stated we accept whatever reasonable penalty from the AFL. A financial penalty is only required and nothing else. End of story.

As I said, I can only look at the facts and have a rational viewpoint from there.
I’m not challenging what you think, because it’s not based on fact, but what you feel, based on no real evidence.
However, this is not the most outrageous conspiracy theory I’ve heard in the last couple of days so let’s leave it that we agree to disagree on the matter.
If we are to take the idea that 16 blokes kicking a footy on a golf course is such a threat to the community, then the idea of a footy season happening this year is a contradiction
