SEN just reported that Judd and Cousins participated in a light training run. Both reckon they are right to play but no announcement from West Coke yet.

You'll think you're at Subiaco....

tonight because the umpiring will be as if it was an Eagles home game. Allen, McInerney and McBurney. Anyone want to venture a guess as to the free kick count and number of goals the Eagles will be gifted from dodgy frees in their forward 50? {edited to fix error} It's McBurney not McLaren. :oops:

If we get an injunction, does it prevent the AFL from imposing the current ban or does it prevent the AFL from imposing any ban until the case is decided? If it's the first option, you can guarantee the AFL will dedicate a camera to Baker's every move on the field; looking for absolutely anything to...

I notice nothing has been said about how it came to pass that Kirkwood had copies of the testimonies that witnesses had given to the investigator, prior to his having to give evidence?

Is this even going to be looked at? Cause it stinks to high heaven.

Looks like St. Kilda will have to carry the can again in taking legal action to rectify a broken system in the AFL/VFL. Remember folks, we were heavily involved in the court action that dismantled the VFL's clearance rules (which were a clear restraint of trade) back in 1983. We won't win any friend...

That was one of the points that Farmer and Kirkwood contradicted each other on. Farmer said he was standing still, Kirkwood said he was moving.

Had to turn off the radio after a minute of Greg Denham's missive this morning. The reek wafting from the radio was too strong. I guess that's a result of rimjobbing Dimwit and the Monkey?

The tribunal discarded Farmer's evidence as untrustworthy. They accepted Baker's version of events. Therefore, it does not discard the possibility that Farmer saw Baker move into his line and tried to flatten him but stuffed it up. It also doesn't preclude Farmer having dazed himself in the collisio...

As it stands at the moment, you could mount a case that Farmer saw Baker move into his path and decided to take him out but stuffed it up.

Actually, Voss initially said he did see it, then when his co-commentator mentioned that he may be called as a tribunal witness he did his best to backtrack. And I have that on video. Yes, Voss is a goose, but that doesn't change what he saw or what he said. Go back to the tape and then get your he...

It gets better. The AFL gave Kirkwood copies of both Baker's and Farmer's statements to the investigator before he was to give evidence. What reason was there to do this other than assist in setting up the lie?

No clearer indication that this is rigged. Freo witnesses evidence is all over the shop. Nixon backs Baker's version.

Somehow they come up with this rubbish.

Take it to the frigging courts, we get no justice from the AFL.
