Wines being able to play in the Reserves Showdown is peak AFL image management. Not about the substance, purely about the image.
Is this true. Surely the reason for the rule is to stop outbreaks within clubs which will interfere with the season.
Are they currently in home/clubrooms isolation? What about shops etc.
By letting him play reserves they admit the rule in no way has any practical reason for existing but they choose to partially enforce in anyway. This is peak AFL levels of governance.

It has been medically proven that players that aren't first 22 are far less susceptible to the Coronavirus than those that are.
 
Should of been a warning or fine... How disgusting. How's it more serious than breaking quarantine laws. fu** I hope someone gets covid and the whole competition stops for good this year.

Even if someone gets it this year, they'll keep going. Only way they stop is if an overwhelming majority of players get the virus. And even then I can see teams dropping out before cancelling the entire comp.

As farcical as it might sound, there's just too much money involved to cancel the comp for a year.

He's in the top two or three highest paid players at the Club and VC...

Looking forward to seeing the end of this guy.

Why we hadn't already banneed Theo and Elspeth from ever having anything to do with this club is beyond me.. we did this to ourselves.

Good news is we're a better side without Wines in the side.
 
Wines hasn’t really done too much wrong here.

I literally know first hand of several port and crows players who have had media engagements outside of their clubs in the past month.

I can see why wines would think an interview outside of his home would be fine when he’s watched a fellow port player have half dozen media commitments (and a crow player I know has too)

it’s simply a face saving gesture by the afl. another club would have seen it dismissed
 
How are we sponsored by seven is beyond me
They don't sponsor us like a traditional sponsor. They are an AFL key partner.
 
It's taken you THIS long to work out he's not captain material? That issue was settled the moment he had his water skiing accident. That he was named captain regardless of that incident only spoke more to the issues surrounding Hinkley and the footy dept than anything else.

The sooner we cash in on Ollie the better.

True. He clearly has not matured.
