News AFL Investigates Adelaide Crows' alleged training breach in Barossa

[BACCS]

...anything that’s written?

Or provided by a national media source?

Not yet, but have you also been wondering why this taking so damn long for the AFL to comment on? They have provided zero public statements.

But now Tom Browne is ok with Vic clubs training from tomorrow while WA and SA clubs have to wait another week to get all players back

It is all about Victoria than the other States.

Adelaide probably threatened to take them to court and really **** them up.

Because it’s been the weekend & the AFL has been more focused on getting the competition ready to recommence (which has been reliant on this Daniel Andrews Press Conference).

The AFL only completed its review on the Crows mistake at 1pm on Friday— expecting an instant response to the matter is unrealistic.

Take off your tin foil hat until you’ve got evidence.

 

[Robertio]

The AFL need the season to start otherwise a significant no of Vic clubs will be no more. I would be more than happy for no season, AFL collapses and gets reorganised next year with a national comp with less Vic clubs.

And the Vic clubs need the non-Vic states for the tv rights. We don’t need all 10 Vic sides but you need all the other states.

At the moment the AFL need 18 clubs for TV rights.

Righto then, any stance on the hypocrisy of some Vic media now that your clubs can train in groups of 10?

They will ignore your question BACCS. That's how they treat something they know is true.

What’s the current AFL rule on it??

If Richmond players have to wait until Gil gives them the go ahead, that’s fine by me.

 

[Robertio]

I know right... its crazy..

These “dummies” at the crows are mostly the Victorian players drafted into the club.. its unfortunate when you have a required drafting system that you end up with dummies like the one’s that were confused buy the rules... Bloody dumb Vico’s..

The crows as an organisation are quite obviously stupid too.. instead of deliberately breaking these confusing rules... they really should’ve spent the last 8 years deliberately and systemically breaching the salary cap rules..

After all, that only gets you a $40k fine from the AFL which is much less than the fine the crows are rumoured to be getting for 8 players kicking a footy together for 10 minutes or so after their training session..

Or even better.. have one of your players get blind drunk, smash his vehicle into four parked cars, do a runner with the aid of his team mates, with all of them breaking the social distancing and stay at home rules.. I mean, lets face it, thats bringing the game into far less disrepute than 8 blokes kicking a footy together for 10 minutes on a golf course..

Like I’ve said in earlier posts.. I hope the crows are severely punished for this massive indescretion.. please strip them of at least 24 premiership points for this season...

You don't realise that the dummies from Vic are only doing what the dummies from Crows head office tell them?

Ok Vics can now have 10 training according to state laws.

AFL will now go into a meeting to decide Crow's penalty, they now have scope to make it a token thing and a stern warning for all clubs to follow rules if they want to play again this season, and will once again have egg on their face after saying how hard they were going to come down.

Now they have to address the quarantine thing.
Vic and NSW only have to quarantine if returning from overseas.
Not sure what the answer is.

Why do crows supporters continue to harp on about the 2 player rule when what they did wrong was break the 14 day iso rule and this has been pointed out many times to them.

Yes, they need 18 clubs but they don’t need 10 in Victoria.

I suppose now the press can concentrate on real issues like Kochies racist rant. Put the Power in the spotlight for putting the AFL in disrepute. Favouring China over the welfare of Australians.

And SAPOL didn’t fine them so wow!

Actually, the Vic Govt has given the go ahead for Vic AFL clubs can train as a whole team in closed quarters.

Now let’s see what the AFL do to maintain the fairness aspect. Oh dear, how it has turned.

The AFL was only ever going to make a call on the Adelaide thing after they heard what Dan Andrews was proposing on removal of restrictions. Just imagine, you impose a severe penalty on Friday then on Monday the govt relaxes the rules making you look made like bozos.

Can you at least wait until the AFL announces the re-commencement of the competition before you go into a full #VICBIAS whinge mode.

Despite the Daniel Andrews press conference— nothing has currently changed from an AFL perspective, except now knowing that the Victorian rules have changed to make it easier for the AFL to resume.

 

[Robertio]

Yes, they need 18 clubs but they don’t need 10 in Victoria.

True, were'e sending St Kilda over to base themselves in the mighty Barossa Valley. No rules there they should do alright.

Yes, they need 18 clubs but they don’t need 10 in Victoria.

That's the dilemma, and at the same time they can't afford to have any more financial blackhole's that GWS and the Suns are.

Not it isn’t - send a side to Tasmania. Not that difficult, it is a footy state.

Those two teams are needed for the future and will be able to support themselves in 10-15 years.

 

[Thetrader15]

Rumours circling multiple clubs (in Victoria) may have been training in groups of 10, which is why the sanctions were pulled last night

Draft pick sanctions for all!

Nothing to see hear. Things only happen in South Australia and at AFC in particular.

Agree - sack Ben Hart!
