You know what this all really comes down to? Whether the AFL feel like boning Sydney, and/or Adelaide, more than just sweeping it under the carpet and pretending like it didnt happen.
The AFL seem to dislike both Adelaide and Sydney (especially Sydney). They dont seem to dislike us, more treat us like their little bitch.
If they want to f*** with just Sydney they could simply ban Talia for half the year. They want to rob Sydney with aynthing to do with trades so I can see it happening.
Take home message - this has nothing to do with what happened or any real attempt at a transparent and justified investigation.
Comes down to the names also.
I have a feeling if AD was still in charge there would be hell to pay.
But with gill he likes keeping the players on side and sees himself close to them all. He wont do anything.
Nick Maxwell will be filthy if Talia cleared. While Shaw was done for betting Maxwell only had a chat to family.
