Stuff the AFL - play Bakes this weekend

tgkosisback · Sun 22 Aug 2010 2:04pm

We owe the AFL nothing the way Bakes has been treated by the AFL Tribunal. I say if all we lose by playing him against Adel is 4 points, then do it. Rest Schneides, get some game time into Bakes in a fair dinkum game (not a scratch match) and take the criticism.

We also would cop a fine, no doubt, but if we win a premiership, then increased membership sales & sponsorship value should offset that. Surely the chance of winning the flag would be increased with Bakes playing next week.

wonder what the fine would be if he runs out

Ha! Like your thinking but just no way on earth that will happen. We would be even more screwed over by the AFL for the rest of our existence!

Rules can't be broken like that.

Who knows how severe the repercussions could be.

They might decide to extend his suspension by another 5 games.

Absolutely NO.

I'd love to see it, but we'd be stripped of all our premiership points plus the 1966 flag.

However I hope Bakes and the whole team find a way to stick it to Dimwit in September. St Kilda wins flag, Baker wins Norm Smith medal and earns record suspension ... something like that.

They will suspend Bakes for 150 games and ban the club from participating in draft picks for five years and at the end of the 5 years they will relocate the club at Waga Waga....................

Yep because he hates us. That is quite clear. It makes sense and most on here know it.

No way!!

Zig & Zag would suddenly bring in one of their new shoot from the hip/ off the cuff rules .....then apply it after the advent ....like that Tassie Sirengate fiasco involving Bakes)

and we would lose ALL our match points for the SEASON (not just 1 game) for playing a disqualified player

Lucky the B@R$t@rD$ were not around when we played Paul Morwood or Silvio Forshini or whoever against the rules way back ... ( help me out here Mr Perfectionist !!)

It actually is not real..........it is a kind of "anti-matter"to Wagga Wagga.........the AFL will never banish us to a real place..................

Wagga Wagga, sounds good to me. Only 120 kms away. Get to see all the home games. Do it.

I suppose it is just like a commentator having an opinion that some dont agree with.

I'd be wondering who would pay the bloody thing. I wouldn't be interested in an increase in my membership fee just to pay it. Would anyone else? !!

Yep, I'm afraid so.

It would be more policy on the run and decisions made on the basis of public opinion by the fat fraud.
