Bluemour Discussion Thread XVII - Coniglio means Rabbit in Italian!

Gil, seriously the most disappointing CEO of the AFL ever and that’s saying something

Time to move him on

I’d take the corrupt horseman over the corrupt Cypriot any day. Slim pickings I know.

 

[Red Bull]

I wonder if there's an opportunity to take the AFL to the supreme Court for restraint of trade if they try to get in the way of this

The AFL have been shit scared of this scenario for a long while.
One would hope the club/s remind the goose of this.
The AFLPA would be all over it.
Gill is a pissweak individual incapable of making a strong decision, he probably negotiates with his feet about which sock he puts on first ...

Man I missed this guy.

Gil outs himself as a horrible corrupt and unprofessional person. What an unbelievable thing for an AFL CEO to say.

The sooner this guy is seen as the reason for so much of the AFL's failures (the state of footy in Tasmania, Draft system that doesn't enable clubs to rebuild quick enough, his handling of the essendon saga, AFLX, this etc).

Can't stand Gil. Being bias is not what the AFL CEO is supposed to be but he is. Sooner he is out the better.

Exactly, they wanted and created free agency then pipes up when a player wants to apply his right to free agency

The clubs and the AFLPA should collectively take him on, between him and Hocking its a sham

Gees tough decision

 

[FrankyGallagher]

I’m thinking Gill’s comments are going to get him in a little bit of trouble there. His job is to oversee not interact. He is no different to the umpires that think their opinions are warranted and that the game would be nothing without them. Sit down and shut up!

 

[carlton_99]

This is crazy, both our board and the Hawks board received news that has made everyone very confident they have Cogs. One group of supporters are going to be very upset!!

Gil showing bias towards clubs, that's evidence of corruption if ever I have seen it. Gil is not supposed to have an opinion or influence on clubs going about their business within the rules of the game.

Can't stand Gil. Being bias is not what the AFL CEO is supposed to be but he is. Sooner he is out the better.

Surely the CEOs would be asking for a please explain, obviously cogs directly affects us, but the other clubs must be scratching their heads as well, you cannot stick your nose into trades even if its an opinion, unless theres tampering from a club level he should absolutely be neutral here.

Prestia, O’Meara, Gorringe...

One of these things is not like the others...

 

[davis_756]

Nash88 hasn't posted a single correct rumour in his/her entire posting history, Our guys have posted correct rumour after rumour over a number of years now.

Desperate hawks fan searching for some sort of positive light on the matter when it all but appears a lock he will be coming to the blues.

You would hope our president or CEO make contact with Gil and reign him in. These are very unacceptable comments from someone in this position.

Would be a good opportunity for our club to make a very necessary strong stance over the AFL and it's CEO. Gil does not like us, that's obvious.

We need to make them know that we won't accept any bullshit and this is a great opportunity to remind the CEO this is not his business and how inappropriate his comments and any interference would be and that there will be legal consequences if he does anything.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The AFL are not our friend. Sucking up and being nice with them won't do us any favors, it will get us walked all over. We need to be strong and firm with them and this is an opportunity to do that.

Agree, and even more importantly in this case, as it’s the first time that a free agent in his prime could seek to move to a lower placed club...Wasn’t this the whole reasoning behind introducing it?

 

[Coona Blues]

$3.50 with TAB. Early but not early enough!

Only worries are Bartlett and Tredrea.

So can I tell you about the pending bet I have with Ladbrokes @ $9. Will be a nice bank for the racing carnivals this year.

 

[davis_756]

in before post gets in trouble for tagging

Idk what you are talking about

 

[BrianSetzer]

I don't know anything about the Hawks board and I don't ever go there. All I know is I'm excited by what I read from our wonderful itk posters. Maybe it was just me but I sensed Crippa knew something by the way he spoke about Coniglio today!

 

[TD2010]

fu** off Gil you muppet. Nothing you interfere with improves, nothing, not once, not ever.

Give yourself an uppercut for bringing the game into disrepute and go have a lie down.

The only good thing about this is his complete lack of ability to influence.

100%, there must be consequences from this.

Desperate hawks fan

I don’t know why they would care about this. Next year with O’Meara and Mitchell they’ll still have a good midfield and they’ve got a big chance at Patton to replace Roughy... they don’t need Coniglio.

As for Coniglio, I’ll listen to Cripps coming out saying we are a destination club again as a sign of Coniglio being a realistic chance over Gil saying he’d rather a player stay at a club when asked a direct question.

 

[doormat73]

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Gill is a campaigner of the highest order.

I bet that if Carlton wasn't in the mix for Coniglio, Gill would be all silent.

What if StKilda was who he was keen on? would he be doing the same?, he has no right as CEO to suddenly be making these sort of statements...

 

[What else we can do]

I want the club and all sponsors to call the Chair of the AFL and demand Gil be stood down. That sort of comment by the CEO of the organization tasked with running the game fairly for all 18 clubs is a disgrace. If he was the head of a regulatory body he would be sacked

It is a conflict of interest he has to go the dumb campaigner. He his also a terrible speaker considering how much education and training he has.

 

[StandByyourMan]

Gill will find a horse head in his bed in the coming days. Pull up quickly. Gill.

have you heard any info re cogs?

 

[ferrisb]

I reckon a truer picture (and closer to the odds) would have been locking Rogers and Hughes in a room together with 100 monkeys with 100 typewriters and in 1 million years someone would have written Romeo and Juliet.

 

[Blue and Blue]

Do people not realise that these CEO's like so many crook politicians do these things deliberately. To make a noise and distract attention away from the real issues. Then in they come and 'fix' the problem they created and get pats on the back.

Is Gill that smart?.....probably, or else he is that dumb? Theres no in between.
