There was no ban.

Not sure of the exact wording but it indicated on the RFC website that Dan wasn't selected for the game due to his suspension.

I could be completely wrong but from memory that article was either taken down or adjusted.

IMO he will play against Freo.

If that's the case there should have been an explanation or a retraction. Plenty would have read the original claim and not seen an adjustment and think Dan didn't play due to his indiscretions a few months ago. Might be different if it was a newspaper site but I certainly tend to place more credence in what's said on our official site.

I hope Dan is in the team soon and has a great season.

AFL writes articles for us sometimes and put them onto our website, that was an error on their behalf which we removed as soon as we became aware of it because it wasn't true.
 
Like I said an explanation or a retraction would have been good then RFC. Many would have read the original and not notice it had been changed thus still believing Dan wasn't selected due to suspension.

I agree with this hence why i asked when is the ban being lifted, when u read an article the first time you read it you take it as gospel especially when u read it from the clubs website, if it was wrong and taken down a day or so later i wouldn't even know whether its taken down most articles drop down in order of the newest ones appearing so whether the club removed it or deemed it wrong by the AFL how would supporters know that to be the case.....

Anyways hope he lines up against Freo....
 
I saw him talking to a few people at Etihad just after the North game and was surprised at how lean he looked. Don't get me wrong he looked really fit but seemed to be a lot trimmer than the way I remember him.
There are a lot of people writing him off but I am not there yet. There is no doubt in my mind he has the ability to play good AFL footy as I have always liked him as a player because he has natural ball winning skills. Whether we get to see them again in a Richmond jumper is up to him of course.
Very happy to hear that he is training as a forward pinch hitting in the midfield.

If the 'Ministry Of Truth' are allowed to write articles for RFC, I hope we have a Winston Smith on the payroll orwe'll all have to believe 2+2 = 5. Removed is good, a retraction better, but I guess the question remains , who takes ownership of the original article?
 
Shokin words to use but he has a bit of X factor that could be very handy as a fwd/mid if he can just learn to conentrate better, have a bit of luck with injuries an remembers its 2012 not 1978

Yeah find the other boys pretty funny (especially Astbury and Rance)

There is some pretty funny banter between Lids, JR, Grigg, Rance & Astbury.

Been following him on Twitter and he sounds a bit of a tosser TBH.

I'm sure his lack of eloquent prose will be forgiven if he strings a few good games together.
