GrantSmith Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 13 hours ago, BookMan said: GWS and Lachie Whitfield quickly spiralling out of control..distraction for finals The long-standing AFL career and reputation of Graeme Allan hangs in the balance amid allegations that the former Giants football boss deleted text messages concerning an attempt to protect the club's former No.1 draft pick Lachie Whitfield from drug-testers. Allan, Whitfield and the club's then welfare manager Craig Lambert face bans of between two and four years should the evidence against them be proven. The AFL, which has known about the allegations for almost 15 months, will now hand details of its lengthy investigation to the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority. The text messages allegedly deleted by Allan would have been part of evidence in the case that Whitfield's former girlfriend contacted the club and later submitted evidence that the player was helped by club officials following drug concerns. Lambert is also alleged to have deleted text messages. Whitfield's then girlfriend was initially motivated by concerns for his health and welfare. Whitfield, who is expected to line up for Greater Western Sydney in their historic first final at ANZ Stadium on September 10, is alleged to have turned to the two club officials amid concerns that he risked being found guilty of testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance after taking illicit drugs. Allan, as revealed on Monday by Fairfax Media, organised for the player to spend a short period of time at the home of Lambert and away from the club in May 2015. The player did not alert the relevant anti-doping authorities and was reportedly not advised to do so. The AFL's integrity unit has significantly widened its investigation beyond the telephone evidence submitted by Whitfield's former girlfriend. http://www.smh.com.au/afl/afl-news/lachie-whitfield-case-graeme-allan-faces-allegations-texts-were-deleted-20160830-gr4xi1.html Plausible deniability from the boss man here...

Now it’s more like a Legal teams piggy snouts in the money trough. IMHO they couldn’t give a rats about the object in query, they just ramp it up to extract the max money with high fees and questionable unnecessary investigations. Some rag makes a phone call out of “it’s all about meeee” People on the ground dismiss it for what it is; Men in $5000+ suits lick their lips and expand their empires; Best advice I ever gave my daughter was to tell her that the fattest and smoothest gravy train in town was the commercial legal office. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joboss Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) Interesting to hear Paul Roos thoughts on the end of season bye. I totally agree that the bye will be a disadvantage to a team from the 4 that wins and so gets another idle week. This is the reason I have belief the Eagles may go all the way to the GF. Reckon that WCE v Dogs is a fifty fifty. Just hope that the week off in the fine Spring weather of Perth doesn’t diminish the Eagles focus.

The bye....silly really more tampering NFL do it i think meanwhile the premier league grinds you into a pulp, its not like AFL teams play 37 home and away game plus plus....while the NFL expanded from 16 games to not many more...so tiring they have to have a bye....

Saunders played 22 for 7 goals, Curren 25 for 9 goals. Payne never played after being drafted as a Rookie in last year's draft. Sam fisher has been a great servant for the saints with 238 and an injury plagued last couple of years, he knows it's time to hang up the boots. The saints are in the market for a key forward and a couple of backs this year. Along with those mentioned above I would like to see the axe fall on Freeman, he is a broken race horse and should have been put down long ago as he will never play. McCartin will never make it and is made of glass, breaks easily and has never played a full game in fact his entire 5 games would never amount to the full amount of 1 game. Hence a key full on the saints shopping list this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GWS style of outside run and pace is not what Sydney likes...and is why that was our heaviest loss of teh season. Just hope nerves get the better of GWS. Sydney though have peaked perfectly this year! Unlike last year when we had 3-4-5 top players in the finals , we have an almost full squad...if the youngsters can hold their nerves!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to think the Eagles are in with a chance to get Lobb at least. I don't know why anyone would want to go to a broken club like Fremantle where senior players are all looking for a way out. A place where the coach is obviously deeply unpopular, but entrenched. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
