| Post subject: | Rumour |
New rumour doing the rounds of the bowels of the AFL is that even if Carlton doesn't win another game for the rest of 2007, the AFL will invoke the rarely-used "Ron Evans Incantation" Rule 52.5a (c) to penalise the Blues for "Bringing the game into disrepute through blatant 'tanking of games' ", and the Club will be penalised their first 4 draft picks until 2021 to ensure they a/. they never climb off the bottom and b/. Essendon* have a chance of forging ahead in the race for most Premierships. This rule will be invoked after Demetriou and Anderson could not displace Mike Fitzpatrick from his new role, and Fitzy was seen as the major obstacle towards ensuring Carlton's continued "patheticism". Whilst I may be a bit facetious with this rumour (which I just started) I wouldn't put it past them. |

They'll probably remove the priority picks altogether as it has become a farce. |

I have absolutey no doubt that if we fail to win another game, there will be an Inquiry into it and we will be penalised. |

Quote: Ron Evans Incantation" Rule 52.5a (c)
Check the rule book....This rule states that there must only be sh!t food at the footy and there should NEVER be a pie and chips available if you require them |

And the addendum to that in the Indices states that 87.5% of all sales must go directly to the Ron Evans For Better Football Foundation" |

The rule also says that beer at the footy must be half flat, three quarters full and a minimum over charge of $5.60! |

Nah, they'll just wait until we qualify, then change the rule so that to qualify you must win less than 12 games over three years, and then state that the last two years don't count and the three years starts in 2008. |

I don't want to bite into this rumour, but I do have some advice. chyna wrote Quote: Whilst I may be a bit facetious with this rumour (which I just started) I wouldn't put it past them. I like the humour in this rumour. It's good to have a dig at the Commission and their dictatorial ways. But don't believe yourself too much and you'll have a more balanced outlook on the rumour. Quote: I have absolutey no doubt that if we fail to win another game, there will be an Inquiry into it and we will be penalised.
Now you're starting to sound scary chyna; journo, judge and jury. Don't believe in yourself too much or you'll go nuts; paranoid? |

bit controversial.... but i like the rule in it's current form.......... 2 shit seasons to properly qualify and stops skilled teams that are having an unlucky, injury ridden season tanking it |
