Yep, small industry, the AFL make a shitload of money so jobs are well paid with a bunch of functions staff get to attend (plus a corporate box for games)

Nobody is going to be a whistleblower if they're on 100k+ a year.

One of those AFL execs outed after having an affair with an intern was on 900k a year

I feel like the doctor who looked at a guy who has had 6 concussions in 4 years, who had symptoms matching concussion, and decided it was definitely not concussion but actually whiplash because he also had a sore neck, should be pretty embarrassed

Two seperate incidents. He passed the test from Jetta smashing him in the head but didnt return from the second one which was the whiplash one.

Well that turned out to be a fizzer of a press conference:

http://www.fremantlefc.com.au/news/2018-05-11/club-statement

quote:

The Fremantle Football Club can confirm that a male person contacted the club last night and again today to advise that he would not be taking any action over an allegation reported by the Herald Sun yesterday about an alleged altercation involving the club’s senior coach at a bar in Fremantle some years ago.

The AFL has also confirmed that it is not investigating any complaint against Fremantle.

Yesterday’s reporting by the Herald Sun of an alleged altercation is unrelated to a work place matter that was presented to the club via a WorkCover WA worker’s compensation claim form in late 2017, which contained allegations by a former employee about a current employee.

This matter was subsequently worked through in consultation with all parties, including the AFL, and resolved with the agreement of all parties and also independently investigated by the AFL’s Integrity Services Unit in accordance with the league’s Respect and Responsibility Policy and at the request of the current employee and the club.

No sanctions were imposed following the AFL investigation.

Paddy's "whiplash" is actually - surprise - another concussion. His seventh.

Probably time to have a serious think about retirement.

Indeed. What a poo poo situation for the kid.

If Paddy were to retire the Saints may as well put in a request for a priority pick imo. I doubt it'd be granted but the club might be able to build a half decent case for one based on the fact that losing a #1 pick would be fatal to the rebuild given the clubs current shitness and the fact that they've only had access to two top 3 picks overall.

Yeah you’re right it was something else.

“Croad” posted:

TC: I ended up having what’s called a navicular-cuneiform-cuboid fusion.
So basically what’s happened, I’ve completely smashed those bones in the
midfoot, which is a big release point just down from the big toe. And at the
same time, I’ve broken my little toe, the toe next to that as well as the
middle toe. So those three toes were completely shattered. But the exact
operation by Mark Blackney was called a navicular-cunieform-cuboid fusion.
So basically I have half of Bunnings in my foot there.

Edit: although the lisfranc is a bone in the mid-foot so I dunno
