Rockers vs Skinheads

Romes vs Ripples

Those were the days

 

[Lawnchair Larry]

Don't bother with the SANFL can probably earn more in country footy.

Supply and demand isn't it? Would be a great problem to have.

has been ordered to pay $1 million and will be disqualified from managing corporations for 12 years, as the Federal Court handed logistics provider GetSwift the largest-ever penalty for breaching continuous disclosure laws. Macdonald, a former Melbourne Demons player, was previously director of the last-mile logistics company, which became a market darling during Australia’s golden era for tech stocks. On Friday, the Federal Court ordered GetSwift, a software company, to pay a record penalty of $15 million, for failing to meet its disclosure obligations. It comes after the court found in November 2021 that the logistics provider made misleading statements to the ASX and breached its disclosure obligations 22 times between February and December 2017.

Yep, left CMS Crows. Not sure what club he joined, but someone told me he's in Victoria.

Rated him, thought he was worth a mid season selection.

IPO 20c. 1 year later $3.70. 1 year later 18c. Now delisted and shareholders are getting 1c for every dollar invested.

To be honest, people who invest in these types of companies get what they deserve. Yes there are some great innovators out there doing it for the right reasons but mostly it's people like this just trying to make a quick buck for themselves and their mates. Cowboy stuff.

What a club Collingwood are. Didn’t SPP receive a 2 match suspension for something at a nightclub that was never proven ?

It’s the inconsistency of the AFL lack-of-integrity unit.

What did Bailey Smith get? 2 weeks for possession? I don’t think he admitted use (but I might be wrong).

 

[TeeKray]

I'm not naive enough to believe that the vast majority of AFL players aren't using various substances regularly but the sheer stupidity of getting caught is amazing.

Yep.

Consistency in approach in penalties is all we can and should expect when it comes to a player getting caught out and making an admission. 2 weeks for a first time seems about right to me.

Also this week - Wayne Carey has quietly dropped his legal action against Crown Perth in relation to his eviction from the casino in September 2022 after dropping an unverified white powder which (at least for the moment) ended his media career.

 

[Grave Danger]

It's a 4 game suspension - the two practice games and rounds 1 and 2. So he won't play against us.

 

[edgie]

Two weeks is lol.

For every dimwit that gets caught there's probably 10 blokes that can manage their drugs & alcohol quite well.

 

[gbear]

Collingwood is such an upstanding AFL club

No idea why this is labelled shocking. You must be pretty sheltered to not realise just about every bloke on afl list does cocaine.

They are all basically cashed up bogans or misbehaving 'elite' private school toffs, which already have their own drug culture well before they even hit the AFL ranks.

I think there is alot Of cocaine use generally. I’m still a Virgin and will stay that way
