That first comment

My Dad and I met him when we did a job for him (not that kind of job) and he struck me as absolutely the kind of guy. Whether he was putting it on or not but he was totally playing up the Tony Soprano stuff pretty hard.

The bit that I find the most amazing in this...and I really shouldn't given #standbyhird, but the fact that to some people the most disgusting thing about all of this is that Essendon referred to Dean Wallis as "a disgruntled former employee". I saw a few comments which were all "this is a disgusting way to treat former champions of the club, he was a 2 time premiership player! Not just a former employee". Really seems if you do well on the field it trumps all else! If I ever get into trouble I'm going to remind people I was employee of the month in July 2007 for Optus.

Also elliots dad and dean wallis are under police investigation for harassment and blackmail of Essendon and afl staff

the guy with a source inside the club reckons that stories like this and the leaked tape of the meeting are going to occur sporadically for the next little while as the various participants try to settle scores or make themselves look better

Hawthorn champion Luke Hodge won't play Round 1 after he was handed a one-game ban by the club for missing training.

Hodge failed to "adequately inform" the Hawks of his absence.

"Luke understands that he did not meet the standards of Hawthorn on this occasion," the club said in a statement.

"Unfortunately, there was a breakdown of communication on Luke's behalf that led to a misunderstanding of his training expectations.

"The sanction is reflective of the standards and values of our club of which Luke has played a large role in creating and driving."

Hodge said he was extremely disappointed in his actions and accepted the sanction handed down by the leadership group.

"I have prided myself on holding the playing group to very high standards and I am disappointed that I let them slip on this occasion," Hodge said.

"Our club has established incredibly strong values and I fully support Rough and the leadership group in their decision and ensuring these values are upheld."

I thought he was a good bloke but.

Sounds like "oh miscommunication hurr" is a load of bollocks. You dont give club champions a one game suspension for missing a training session due to a miscommunication. WHAT HAVE YOU REALLY BEEN DOING HODGEY?

At the pub. No footy.

If Adelaide wins at TIO tomorrow evening, then that's the top 2 wrapped up with a round to go, with only the hosting duties still to play for; if Melbourne win, it's a final round percentage race to face Brisbane at the Gabba

I reckon we would need a five goal win tomorrow night to make the percentage competitive going into the final round and I can't see that happening

The Rosey doesn't show the footy, it was at the Paddo. Funnily enough one of the reporters on the ground described the locale as hipster-ish, which could be applied to Mt Hawthorn if you squint I guess but the Paddo is still v much bogan central clientele-wise

How do you use like 50 more interchanges than your opponent and still get shitwrecked in the 4th quarter over fitness. Spend all that money on a new training facility and nobody even uses the loving thing. Ugh. That does not bode well.

Bulldogs played with no intensity for the first half, capped our rotations and didn't use two players on our bench. We've done that the last couple of preseasons so that we're adjusted for the coming season.

edit: The first half wasn't exactly a success because we need to minimise the damage when our intensity is down but every game we actually turned up to play the final quarter we either just fell short or won.

theres still one more game to go. brisbane are locked in, my understanding is if they win next week or if adelaide lose next week then brisbane get a home GF

dees and adelaide both win next week - adelaide should still go through with their superior percentage
dees win and adelaide lose - dees make the GF
dees lose and adelaide win - adelaide make the GF

both teams lose (and carlton win?) - adelaide probably still goes through anyway with their percentage

e: next week will be a difficult game though, coming off a hot, humid and bruising game to then have to go against a resurgent fremantle
