Michael Talia

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Good.

He can't play. The trick is to fool another club into thinking that he can. A second round pick in return would be a great outcome.

He turned up for his end of season exit interview and was told to leave the premises.

Typical stupid reporting. On the one hand it reports the boys won't say anything because of the investigation and on the other hand it says Beveride wont respond and speak to Talia. Well hello I thought there was an investigation.

Wouldn't the CEO, President and/or Slater n Gordon do the investigation since Bevo is a witness in the matter?

The Akermanis Alleyway of Shame. That's probably for his own good if anyone at the club felt the personal sense of utter betrayal we all feel (ie everyone).

The AFL integrity investigation

Ok, but sidebar... In future editions on the Oxford dictionary, it will read 'oxymoron: defined as... Example, AFL integrity'.

Oh Liam . Thanks for all your work with the Boyd trade but really? Poor Michael has to leave the club because Bevo won't speak to him? Michael has to leave the club because he betrayed all that it stands for and he got caught doing it.

Dear Liam, your client lacks integrity and has conducted himself in a childish manner.
Clearly the organisation that employs your client feels the need for an investigation .

Is Pickering questioning Ben Stratton ? Clearly Stratton felt the need to inform his former coach!!
Why don't the Talia brothers come out and make a statement,instead of hiding behind the p/a

[Ghost Dog]

Chinese whispers are very dangerous in a workplace. I hope the club is handling this correctly.
This could be a Hawthorn conspiracy!

The club were investigating this matter for days before the Hawthorn players comments came into play. They haven't gone to the AFL integrity unit lightly, this is not a frivolous matter.

Pickerings paid job is to protect his clients best interests. He will say and do anything to portray MT as the wronged party leaving with his head held high. I hope he succeeds, we may still salvage a half decent trade for Talia.

Ultimately, the truth will stand.

Agree entirely, the issue is being trivialised by the likes of Watson and co., but you'd be sure the club just didn't go off on a whim.
On a side note what cheek has the great Hird defender Watson got? Stick to going into bat for your mates Watson

Gordon would be all over it mate.

Wow. That's that then.
