if the demons are not guilty of tanking then essendope are surely home free

 

[Jono]

What's the verdict? I was reading something about $500k fine?

 

[Spikey]

i'm sure you know by now. it seems the best way to sum it up is that the demons didn't leave behind signed documents pledging to tank (duh), which made finding them guilty of straight out tanking was hard cause it all should be very wink wink and the on-field stuff can always be defended, but Chris Connolly did basically urge them to tank in a meeting, so he got done, and Dean Bailey got done for i guess accepting Connolly's urge and they fined the club cause *wink wink*

Robbo was amazing on 360 tonight

Had a good go at the Melbourne Chairman, and made it quite clear that the AFL "verdict" is a pile of ****. Just logical stuff really, for once from him. Was reasonable, Gerard loved it too.

AFL really have just been pathetic in this saga.

"We'll cop the punishment, as long as you don't ping us for tanking."

"Deal"

 

[Jono]

"oh, and you can do whatever you want with Bailey and Connolly"

Essendope have a second meeting with the parents of their players.

I wonder if Dustin Fletcher's attended

 

[Jono]

Ziebell re-signed with North. Good result for them. 3 years I believe.

 

[benchmark00]

The smooth one and Brad Scott signing on until 2016.

Haters sucking it aws.

 

[Jono]

Literally no one hates your club.

 

[Jono]

Future captain JZ signed a 3 year deal with the Roos.

 

[Spikey]

Brad Scott signing on until 2016.
.

what could possiblye go wrong

 

[benchmark00]

Brad Scott can coach though.

 

[Jono]

Even if you didn't rate those two coaches, they both were treated poorly by their club anyway. I doubt North's members will be as wankerish to Scott as Essendope and Carlton were to Knights and Ratten.

 

[Spikey]

i don't think you get how fans react to loses and going backwards
