Good thing I didn't pick up Hamish in my already geriatric injury ward of an UF team.

My sister in law taught Goddard at Caulfield Grammar where he had a full scholarship (and one of the few to get one), apparently he was just a deeply ungrateful shithead then as he is now.

To be fair this is almost every single kid and parent associated with an elite private school

My cousin went to high school with Lachie Whitfield and he was not shocked at all when I told him about Whitfield copping a drug ban. Said he was always a bit of a loose unit that got by on talent instead of working hard. He did speak pretty favourably about Hartung.

Hartung looks like Tin Tin so I'm not surprised he is a nice and good boy

I'm just happy the umps are letting a lot of stuff go to keep the ball moving. Seems a different game from the rest of the over refereed stuff from the last two rounds.

All of them, I imagine. They'll rename Friday to Carlday.

I traded Hartlett in and a few days later he does an ACL. :negative:

quote:

AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan says the league has no problems with hush money being paid to sexual harassment victims as long as it helps resolve the issue.

Fremantle hit the headlines earlier this month when it was reported an official made a secret payment to a former junior staffer to settle an alleged sexual harassment complaint.

The AFL's integrity unit investigated the harassment claims and found no further action was needed.

The Fremantle official at the centre of the storm has remained anonymous.

The murky issue of hush payments was raised when McLachlan fronted the media in Perth on Friday.

Without wanting to comment directly on the situation at Fremantle, he said it was important for confidentiality agreements to be honoured when the circumstances warranted.

Asked whether making payments to victims was against the AFL's respect and responsibility policy, McLachlan said no.

"What the core part of the policy is � is actually resolving the issue between the complainant and the person who they are making the allegation against," he said.

"It's entirely appropriate and part of the policy for it to be confidential.

"There's a wide series of options available for getting resolution. There are many cases that are resolved confidentially.

"That's one of the core tenants of the policy � where possible and where appropriate, the confidentiality remains because it's resolving the issue at hand between the two parties rather than actually being something for public debate.

"I think it's unfortunate when it comes out. Unfortunate for the complainant and the person who is being complained against."
Koch angry over Powell-Pepper handling

Earlier this week, Port Adelaide president David Koch slammed the AFL over its Sam Powell-Pepper investigation.

Koch said Powell-Pepper was a victim of the AFL's attempts to rebuild its reputation with women following the resignations of league executives Simon Lethlean and Richard Simkiss over their affairs with junior colleagues.

Powell-Pepper was slapped with a three-match ban over his late-night drunken behaviour, which the AFL said also included engaging in "inappropriate contact with a female".

Koch accused the AFL of "railroading a kid and trying to rebuild their reputation".

McLachlan said there was no bad blood between the AFL and Port Adelaide over the handling of the investigation.

"I think David was emotional and clearly feels he's protecting his player and his club," McLachlan said.

"I completely disagree and reject some of the things he said.

"Football's a passionate, emotional business, and I don't take any of it personally."

aejix: Sep 18, 2007; It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

Nope. He's not Sandilands levels of stone fists but he's not the type to clunk them that often.

His form fluctuates quite dramatically. His last year with the Eagles his contested marking was really good, but his first year with Sydney is was shite. It's been all over the place since
