Maybe, but threats were made publically. At that stage Joe was still out and about saying that there is no way Norwood would vote YES. A little while after that he changed his tune.
If threats were made privately, they must have been pretty significant to upstage the ones made publically.
If such threats were made... that might go someway to explaining the eerie code of silence adopted by all YES clubs on this issue, despite numerous requests for an explanation (eg. WSbowes' annual "please explain" to the SFC). May also explain why there was NO CONSULTATION with members by any of the YES clubs.
I think even Cracka and BOTB would admit the complete lack of an explanation from any of the clubs, or the SANFL, in the face of the public backlash and obvious problems is very strange.
I'm gonna sit back, crack the top off a Pale Ale, and watch the Double Blues prevail
