The party would be more transparent than the AFL surely?
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Western Bulldogs bring in AFL to investigate 'leak' to Adelaide Crows
Agree with others, and we can't keep someone who has had a major hissy fit because he wasn't getting a game.
If we bring in one of the VFL young key backs they wouldn't be worse than Talia
My bet is they'd interview the hawthorn players, and they'd give nothing
The afl is so image conscious they'll do anything for this to go away, and added the Carlisle fiasco you can see this going away.

Coincidentally this is precisely where the afore-mentioned journos trawl through to get all their stories from.
The AFL will find nothing because that is what they want to find. Anyway, job done and we got rid of the dead weight of a disgruntled player from our list who had major limitations in his game. A key defender that a) can't defend one-on-one and b) can't play in a zone defensive structure is about as useful as tits on a bull.

Yep.
I would have traded him before the leaked info, anyway. He's tall but that's it; we can find better options both in the draft and various state leagues.

And we are still waiting. This stinks of procrastination to try and spin things a particular way so that they avoid having to face the music.

Yep. Or it's so serious the commission is being convened to allocate us a compensation second round pick...

There is a frog in central Australia called the water-holding frog. It covers itself with its own saliva and buries itself deep in the sand for months even years at a time, waiting in hibernation for it to rain. Thus is the optimism of Bulldogs supporters!

I'd prefer covering other people with saliva and then bury them in sand.

You spelt Investigates wrong. So I guess it wasn't Talia, but Finchy all along.

Re: Western Bulldogs bring in AFL to investigate 'leak' to Adelaide Crows
Last Monday a decision was apparently imminent, with Stevo and others reporting they would be cleared. Now nothing! Just wonder if we have kicked up a bit of a stink.

Re: Western Bulldogs bring in AFL to investigate 'leak' to Adelaide Crows
I was thinking we should have run a book on the exact number of days the AFL thinks is ideal to stage manage a fake investigation. I'll say 45.

Yep and we're just making a mountain out of a mole hill. Remember it was just brothers having a chat like they do every other week. Nothing in it.
