Whack us now, we can send all the players off for surgery and extended preseason, play a heap of kids. Also the fans can boycott the rest of the season and hurt the AFL coffers.
Id even go a step further and call the AFL's bluff, tell us our penalty now or we forfeit the rest of the season


It's being drawn out to maximise $$$

Of course it is.
Leaked reports show that the AFL decided on the penalty weeks ago.
Throw us out now and be done with it
Being that Andy D's million dollar bonus is linked to attendances id say there is a fat chance of that happening.
Convenient that the fat prick is OS whilst all this is going on

Like Andy D isnt bringing it into disrepute.
If he knows we are guilty and knows our penalty throw the book at us.
Its a disgrace that he is dragging it on for his own inflated ego
If he lets us know now it gives other sides an opportunity to keep fighting for the last spot in the 8

The AFL ain't going to do you any favours.
I reckon the other teams might already know and don't need to be told 9th spot may be enough.

Will Hird stand down/resign before he's made to? A lot of pressure on him to do so i would have thought.

Ricciuto claimed he had knowledge that Hird has until Thursday to stand down or he will be pushed.
Wouldnt be his old mate Goody feeding him this would it?
The club has denied Hird was told to stand down but I cant really trust them at the minute

Its very sad as i admired the way Hird went about his footy. But his reputation is severely tarnished and no amount of buck passing will save him surely?

The Herald sun and Ch 7 have run with the story and its all based on comments from Ricciuto. Now I have said this a few times on here and it never goes down well, but Riccuito is a ******* idiot. To run a story based on that guys comments is really leaving yourself open. Well played media.

Agree, poor form by both parties. How are MMMs ratings going lately? Do they need a boost perhaps?

The investigation isn't even finished. Why does Andy D need to act now just to shut others up just because they are over it all.
