	Replying to @bulldoglegend @agerealfooty @theage Agree it's not easy to muster the level of proof for tanking, especially once a club lawyers up. That was part of my explanation

	Replying to @Culbert_Report That's what I'd call a meta explanation Dave. Brand protection is always there. A given, like the weather. I was more specific about Melbourne & 2012-3.

	Adams has been cleared to play after finger surgery late in the pre-season, with the Magpies only waiting to see that his ball handling is clean at training before selecting him. theage.com.au/sport/afl/pie-…

	.@HawthornFC sought clarification from @AFL on 3 contentious, consequential frees (v Sicily, Worpel, O'Meara) from loss to Bulldogs. AFL said 2/3 were correct. theage.com.au/sport/afl/an-u…

	Replying to @MGliksmanMDPhD @smh No that's not what I'm saying. He's damaged his reputation, scored an own goal, reinforced what happened with Goodes & Caro

	Replying to @DeeOhCee The damage to his image/rep is more obvious perhaps. All self inflicted

	Replying to @DeeOhCee By "hurt" I meant damaged FYI. Eddie's scored an own goal. Again.

	Replying to @ShaunaDale18 @DalePearce3 and 3 others Reputational damage is real

	Replying to @DalePearce3 @AFL and 2 others Ultimately I think this will damage McGuire the most, yes.

	Replying to @morteinmooie I made the comparison with Whateley too - he's on air for hours, yet doesn't make those blunders.

	Replying to @morteinmooie I didn't make excuses for EM - I made several points about how this came about. He owns this, as he must.

	Replying to @JoySC01 @AFL and 2 others That's not what I wrote. My point is that the damage is reputational - reinforcing the other gaffes & formal punishment is meaningless (and won't happen).

	Eddie McGuire won't be punished by @AFL, @FOXFOOTY or @CollingwoodFC for his coin toss gaffe, but he's still paying a price. theage.com.au/sport/afl/eddi…

	Replying to @nickinnes1 @turtlemagpies and 2 others Tigers without Rance are not the team I was bullish about pre-season. Without Riewoldt for several weeks makes it even harder.

	Lovely & moving sportsmanship - or sportswomanship - from the @CarltonFC players going to Erin Phillips. The reaction of players, crowd & commentators won't be forgotten. #AFLWCrowsBlues

	The deliberate rushing free v Lonie was absolutely correct - no opponent pressuring, had time to stay in play. Properly policed, it's a good rule. #AFLDonsSaints

	Remarkable as it was, the first goal kicked by @Buddy_Franklin from the fence is just behind Paul Seedsman's 65m torp on the siren from the boundary. #AFLSwansCrows

	Replying to @kanequarrell @petryan Scott was Gold Coast academy, not Brisbane & chose North, who did very well with Thomas & Scott given what they gave up (having traded their first pick).
