    Regardless of the result of the hearing, I'd still rather be caught in an elevator for ten minutes with my own farts after 16 eggs and 14 cans of baked beans than spend half a second with Eddie
    'Delicious' is a fun word to say

        Does anyone know when the results of the review will be released by the AFL? Surely, it will have to be released in a timely manner unlike the original notice.

            If you think Eddie is throwing his (ample) weight around, the biggest power play, surely, is getting Ball on the Commission!! Well played, boys.

                    Unlike Hawthorm, Colliwobbles and Bulldogs, our guys have integrity and won't use their position for onconscionable gains.

                          Good article that puts a common sense perspective on the whole issue, but I won't be holding my breath on a positive outcome. Maguire and Newbold have Gillon on speed dial!!!

                            This bit is a bit worrying: "AFL.com.au also understands it's (the Swans) also struggled to re-negotiate some deals with good performers from 2014 as it normally would as it awaits a decision on whether the ban will be softened."

                                Hardly suprising that this resulted from the trade ban. Unintended consequences of a stupid decision by a bunch of out of touch VFL'ites.
                                "You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."
