Man, just watched the presser...weak as piss AFL, weak as piss! Penalties below (My comments as well..)
1.EFC $2mil fine - AFL will give them a loan to help pay it off
2.Forfeit place in 2013 finals, they will not play finals this year, finish in 9th position - Good, deserved
3.2013 and 2014 round 1 and 2 draft picks gone, but special last place 1st round pick in 2014 - WTF, take away their picks but then give them special concession??
4.Not excluded from draft trades - Ummm...so they can trade back first round draft picks...what a load of shit...offload players that are facing a 2 year ban
5.James Hird 12 month suspension from the AFL backdated to 25 Aug 2013. Banned from all AFL club capacity involvement - Good riddance, should be gone for longer. the AFL report showed that he knew what was going on and did nothing to stop it.
6.Corcoran 6 months, 2 months suspended for 2 years - LOL...Adelaide officials got punished harder than this, should be gone for longer
7.Thompson $30,000, no suspension - He made $10mil on a property deal a few years back and is set to make about $7mil on another one in the next 12 motnhs, $30k is chump change.
Carlton and Adelaide had stronger draft penalties, and their "crimes" were a lot less serious than this!
