        Well we can file that U.

        U: for Useless enquiry. That file is getting pretty fat by now, will have to go to another draw in the cabinet.

        It will be crossed referenced under W.

        W: Waste of everyone's time file. Also cross referenced to AD's staff file.

        Also cross referenced under J sub file.

        J: Main file under Journos, sub file B for beat ups. That one has gone into it's second building.

            Roos was always going to be exonerated. If you were going to weed out crookedness in the game you couldn't pick on a less likely candidate.

            But it still leaves a sour taste. it's a smear on Roos personally and is just what the Swans didn't need at this time of the year.

            I'm embarrassed to follow a game managed by these chumps who can't carry out a simple vendetta.

              Just saw on the ABC news that in the Hawthorn v Adelaide game Hawthorn had 19 players on the field for some time. The said 19th player had 3 possessions before it was picked up.

              Isn't that strange; we play Hawthorn and an interchange steward (what was the other one doing or hearing or seeing) says he hears Roos say something that breaches the rules. Roos gets cleared.
              Conclusion: The interchange steward is hard of hearing or there is a conspiracy to, GET ROOS.

              Then, da, da - Interchange stewards, yes that's plural, miss somehow that "Hawthorn" have 19 players on the ground for quite some time.
              Conclusion: Interchange stewards x 2 have eyesight problems (no 20/20 vision when it comes to the AFL but brilliant hindsight) and failed maths at school because they can't bleedin' count either.

              Maybe that's why they only have 16 interchanges a quarter for the Giggle Cup: the interchange stewards can't count past 16, well they certainly can't count to 19 that's for sure.

              I suggest we follow the interchange dramas throughout the season for Hawthorn infringements.

              Where DO they get the people from to be interchange stewards?

                They copped a whopping $7,500 fine for being honest.


                Did they think that Roos would be stupid enough to say out loud in earshot of who knows how many people, to throw the game. Surely you'd say it on the quiet.

                  Would someone keep tabs on the fines this year. I suspect they might add up to somewhere near $1.4 million. But don't ask the interchange stewards to count it.

                      So I assume the AFL will be picking up the tab for Silks, travel etc.

                        Roos = 2
                        Dimwitriou = Nada.

                        As an aside, notice how the week after the poos and wees game, Roosey put McUseless into the forward line and he managed to kick a few. Maybe McUseless was getting back at Roosey for being a smart-arse.
                        Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

                            They also apparently have a complete lack of sense of irony, humour and contextual understanding. The ramifications are enormous. Consider their report regarding the inevitable comment of Roosey in regard to a necessary and urgent replacement of Mc Veigh and his recall to the interchange bench:

                            "Pull the p@@ck off"

                              I think in the end this is going to open a real can of worms.
                              The coaches' association is seeking a clarification from the AFL on the rule that no player, coach or assistant coach can fail to perform on their merits, or induce others to under-perform.

                              It wants to know whether the rule extends to team selection ? whether it is an offence to select a team that lessens the chance of victory.

                                I reckon, just for fun, that the club should put out a message "is there a lawyer in the house who would take on a defamation case gratis" a civil case against Andy & Adri personally, instead of them hiding behind the AFL facade - I'd like to see that. To see the Statements of claim served on those two would be priceless - the looks on their faces "oh @@@@, we have pushed Roos and the Swans too far this time"! ok its just my sick mind - But I hope that one day someone will take them both to the cleaners.
