TOPIC:

Rookie gets a base of $85k + $5k/game
First year player taken in the full draft is on a base of $105k + $5k/game.
I'm pretty sure Rudy wasn't on anything like that from his employer + Joondy, but yes, it was a second offence which makes a significant difference.

Two things, one being the AFL's decision on Taylor which is a fairly stern penalty (but not undeserved in my opinion) and perhaps a kneejerk reaction to recent issues in the ACT, the second being the small article in the worst a week or so ago suggesting that the WAFC and WAFL will be looking at having specific sanctions for instances of DV.

I heard the AFL have told Taylor he won’t be able to play WAFL until June after he has completed anger management courses. Does that mean if he wanted to start an apprenticeship he wouldn’t be allowed until to start until June for the same reasons? As usual it’s all about the look for the AFL and minority groups have the loudest voice.

What about Rudy Riddoch? Has the AFL intervened with his intention to play in the WAFL after being released from jail after a second domestic violence conviction? Or perhaps he already completed his anger management courses as part of his bail conditions? But if a player is still serving bail he definitely should not be allowed to play football at any level.

It should be noted the AFL has banned Taylor from entering the AFL mid season draft, that doesn't mean he can't play WAFL but as I said I heard he has been told he can't play WAFL until he has completed anger management courses.

The AFL should be told to stick their collective noses out.  

I would have thought that having a job including football would be a crucial element to completing anger management courses

I'm still trying to figure out why they're singling out DV. I my opinion someone convicted of any violent crime should come under the microscope.

that's what I was thinking straight up as well - looks like he has a nomination in for the shit league draft in the background mate

Unfortunately no one tells the AFL what to do swannie.  They tell the collective football world what to do.

We may not agree on much but I doubt whether there would be anyone who would disagree with that sentiment.  I would add the WAFL is the poorer for that.

This is a watershed day swannie, we agree on something.  While I am a supporter of West Coast in the AFL, just imagine what a WAFL competition we would have if we were able to go our own way. We would be the envy of all the state leagues.
