No old bastards please.
No to Rockliff.
What if he comes as steak knives with Kelly and Stringer?
This thread has gone full Tony Montana
Yeah - be careful about slinging that kinda stuff around without being certainâŚ
Delete mate, not cool.
Deleted but doesnât make it untrue. Very off topic obviously but a clear issue across not only the AFL but broader public. Obviously hit a nerve. I could care less what players etc do in their own time as long as they produce when it matters. Game day
I care, these are young men and I would hate another Mainwearing type situation.
Itâs really tough for AFL clubs to try and control youngsters with plenty of cash to throw around.
It doesnât directly effect us, but what about their children, parents partners ect, it really can leave big scars.
Stringer might be the big fish we can get but I would look at Alir Alir as a defender and Aceman what do you think about Yeoman Ellis - I liked his size as a mid and then he did his knee. His is contracted but couldnât get games due to Thompson and now a lot would have passed him - he might be cheap just donât know how a year out will hurt him. Did he make it back at all this year in SANFL?
Fair call and Iâm sure clubs do their best but thereâs really not much they ultimately can do about it.
Maybe if the AFLPA let the clubâs and AFL take a tougher stance then we wonât ever have a mainwaring situation
To be clear, the ânerveâ is the worry that BomberBlitz could be sued.
Why on earth would they do that? They are paid by the players to represent the playersâ interests.
Which would conceivably prioritise human lives over a football career?
Even though I donât reckon they doâŚ
So? Theyâre paid by and represent the guys who would be impacted negatively (in their minds) by such a rule. Why on earth would they do that? Theyâre not politicians who are meant to take a broader view than just their constituents opinions, and draw on expert advice in the areas up for debate. Theyâre like lawyers, paid negotiators, or handymen who are working for the players. So asking them to go against their clientâs wishes is silly.
Thatâs fine. Just donât blame the AFL (on this occasion) for letting another mainwaring situation occur.
Iâm not gonna have a massive long debate about it.
But if the AFLPA made decisions that detrimentally affected the health of players through non disclosure or other various failed duty of care then that would be a worry.
And I bet they dont prioritise player wellbeing as well as they should.
But duty of care to player wellbeing should sit above all else.

Think about how it would feel if you read that stuff about your son/sibling.

I never did. An individual made choices about his life that turned out badly for him. I donât see that as his employerâs fault at all. I donât know why the AFL even tests for non performance enhancing drugs. Iâd be against most employers doing so.

They donât have a duty of care on this issue, neither does the AFL. This is not employment related. And the players involved donât need a drug test to know that theyâve taken illicit drugs.
