      I've already received recognition of receipt and AFL reception has suggested "You can contact AFL House on 03 9643 1999 or general@afl.com.au". I sent it to the players association too cos' it's an issue for them as well.

        They are just so focused on the almighty bottom line ( Essendon winning means more patronage ) than the integrity of the sport, it's comical . They'll get either one or two in the draft for cheating, it just beggars belief

And like a little school boy he cracked the shits and punished Sydney for it. How else has Carlton and Essendon managed to get Friday night games when they are crap. But the worthless Bulldogs had to fight for years to get them. The sooner the AFL commission is replaced with some grown up mature people the better for the entire game

            Yeah it's gonna bite them in the a$$ sooner or later. I know quite a lot of die hard footy fans losing interest in the AFL and turning to either local footy or overseas sports. It's become too much of a business and seems the enjoyment and passion is being taken out of the game

                      No question of anything but my full support in your bid for Mike Fitzpatrick's job.

                        Re: Michael Hurley

                        I googled 'Michael Hurley news' and saw this from a few hours ago:

                        The SuperFooty Podcast’s premier team was back together, with Warner back from holidays joining Anthony Hudson and Sam Edmund to review all the weekend’s footy action.

                        Warner says Vickery needs to “go to a great club and slot into their system” — like Hawthorn.

                        “He’s one of those guys that can always kick two or three goals, even when they bag him for not playing well,” Warner said.

                        “Just the psyche of the guy ... why not (Hawthorn)?

                        “They took Sammy’s boy Jack Fitzpatrick.

                        “He’s a free agent, so Richmond get nothing for him.”

                        The boys all agreed that the rumblings around banned Bomber Michael Hurley leaving Essendon were growing louder.

                        “Sounds like he’ll go,” Warner said.

                        Mick and Sam reckon Huddo knows more than he’s letting on about Hurley’s future — is he destined for the Dogs?

                        “Robbo wrote something about it yesterday,” Huddo said.

                        “I thought the Dogs were the most likely destination.”

                              We know from last year clubs were into Hrovat & Jong. This year Honey & Jong have interest, perhaps Hrovat again and Stevens is yet to re-sign. If we had to move one or two onto a club wanting them to free up some cash, and get a little currency for fringe players (I.e. Vardy) we are reportably into or better drafts picks, that's a huge, huge win for a trading season. I'd do it without thinking twice, so the money can be found if we really want an All Australian CHB on our charge to a (bloody) grand final.

                                Don't the swans have 2 players on a Million each? Then you have Parker, Kennedy, Hannebery & Jack on decent coin too. We only have 1 guy on a million. I think he is on 1.5 this year so would help the cap in future years. I think we can afford Hurley.
