Hope Carlton don't have a bad year with injuries, given that their injury allowance will be significantly reduced as a result.

I think the Board was aware and the key movers and shakers on the Board actively involved in the cover up strategy.
It is the only way our actions (not sacking Trigg) makes any sense.
Just keep those fingers in your ears.Step away from the tin foil, Carl.
Been told today from a very good source that the board was aware and as Trigg helped cover the truth the board is supporting him .I think the Board was aware and the key movers and shakers on the Board actively involved in the cover up strategy.
It is the only way our actions (not sacking Trigg) makes any sense.

Cmon now, la-la-la-la-la at the top of your voice. That's a good boy.
No, you’re right.
It’s crazy to think that the board, coach and players are still backing Trigg in on the basis that he still has much to offer the club in spite of this **** up.
The more viable scenario is clearly that our board of professional and respected business people are embroiled in a covert operation to cover up their super-secret involvement in the Tippett conspiracy by getting said CEO to play the patsy, all the while concealing their true hidden identities in this dastardly scheme.
And they would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for those meddling Tippets (eh, Shaggy?)
Means different things to different clubs:What's your understanding of the term "club line"?

I don't think it needs to be that complex.No, you’re right.

I can not reconcile how the club has to cop the brunt of Triggs actions, and Trigg doesn't get a life time ban or at minimum 12 months off.

Absolutely.Speaking to respected business people who aren't on the AFC board, all are of the same opinion, the punishment reeks of a backroom deal driven by both parties to avoid a larger image problem.
Yep.For what it is worth, I am yet to meet any business owner/director/CEO/CFO who can fathom how Trigg has retained his job. In any real job he'd be gone, most likely along with his superior.
Your avoidance says plenty.A phrase used by paranoid supporters to sell a baseless conspiracy theory to anyone who'll listen on an internet forum.
That's exactly what I'm worried about.The club bore the brunt of his actions for exactly the same reasons we all expected the MFC to bear the brunt of Dean Bailey and Chris Connelly’s actions. It's the way it works.
With the forensic manner in which this was investigated by the AFL, if there were any level of impropriety at the board level, do you not think this would have been exposed somehow?
Not being a smart arse Alex, but doesn't the board make the decision on the coach?
And honestly - if it doesn't happen for ten years, everyone - possibly even you - will be over it by then.
No, not you. But that was a given.Not me.
Just because he is a self confessed liar, cheat and incompetent why should he resign?
Same reason politicians keep their jobs I suppose.
I take your point, and there's merit in it. But the reality is, the decision to sack a coach will be made on the basis of some clearly defined performance indicators, not on the whim of a CEO.
These KPI's will reflect the resources that Sando has available to him at that point in time - not what he could have achieved with an extra couple of first round draft picks - and he will have plenty of scope to buy into and ultimately agree on them.
In any case this discussion is probably moot, as my money's on Sando outlasting Trigg at the club anyway!
