Tim Lane is just appallingYou don't ban those who supported your opponent, you make them wallow in their loserdom by covering your victory! You sit them in the front row. You give them a hat! Toby Ziegler -

Apology to Adrian Anderson and AFL Integrity team
The Age published three articles in December 2011 that reported on the AFL investigation into the background surrounding the recruitment of Kieren Jack by Sydney Football Club. The Age accepts that Mr Adrian Anderson and the AFL Integrity team acted with integrity in the matter of Kieren Jack's nomination for the 2005 rookie draft and in its subsequent investigation of the matter. The Age and Tim Lane apologise to Mr Adrian Anderson and his team for suggesting otherwise.

It definitely has the feel of an apology made under the threat of legal action.Comment

I just don't get why he pursued this line. It may be a bugbear he has against Sydney, after all I think Tim was anti any concessions for Sydney or Brisbane to develop their area. I believe he was of the opinion they should do that on the same money as every other club . Unfortunately that doesn't take into account developing a in a hostile market. But in saying that he is generally very even handed up to the point of talking about Carlton and then forget it. He almost barracks when he is calling Carlton, always has even on the ABC. He is a bit like Huddo with Geelong.
Roy Masters had a hand in this too don't forget that. Roy is very Anti AFL, always has been and I think he would always be happy to stir the pot. If Roy thinks he can get mileage from an incident for NRL of course he is going to run with it. What was actually said is a matter of conjecture a sort of 'he said, I said' scenario.Comment

He was a little more direct than simply "suggesting otherwise". Weasel.Superman still wears Brett Kirk PyjamasComment

Pretty poor form to publish an apology at the bottom of another story, having published and then deleted the apology under its own link. Can't imagine the AFL is impressed by that.
Poor journalism only Lane. The only 'fact' was that Jack supposedly got his papers in late. Even if it were true there was no evidence that the AFL manipulated the situation in order to give him a green light onto an AFL list. Lane just made that up.
In fact, his whole scenario about the AFL wanting to use a rookie-listed player as an advertisement for the game was ridiculous. I hope the Age sacks him if it hasn't already.

I agree with all of the sentiments expressed in this thread, however what if there was another side to it?
What if there was a transgression somewhere (no matter how minor) and Lane was on to it (where there is smoke there is fire). Couldnt it also be argued in the spirit of the true conspiracy theory, that maybe the AFL put pressure on The Age to bury it or they may lose some of their AFL privileges?
Just a thought...Comment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
