I have to defend Rosy here.
Rosy does know more because I told her about an incident involving Dan and me that occurred after the 12 week suspension incident.
I'm not going to say more than that. And I know PRE Posters will demand I step up to the plate and "name names, etc" but I'm not going to go into specifics. So suck it up.
I told Rosy some of the details because I needed her assistance, which she gave and I'm grateful for.
IMO Dan is not yet playing AFL because the Club is adopting an extremely cautious approach due to his off field behaviour. But I stress, this is only my opinion.

Ah, too bad. Some people just don't seem to learn from mistakes eh.

Explains why he is not getting picked I guess.

It's a rumour until there's substantiated fact.

This is a pretty serious public accusation and if true (I have no reason to doubt it given his history) I am amazed he is on the list still given the amount of rhetoric that's come from the club re last chances etc.

Look forward to hearing from the club. I'm sure some journo reading the boards will ask them the question soon enough.

Agree. How many chances does one get, it's not like he's got Ben Cousins ability.

I think Rosy and Poppax might be onto something here.

they shouldn't be sharing it on a public forum. It's up to the club to let supporters and the public know. this creates speculation and the media might get onto it.

I never believe anything I hear until I see facts, as far as I'm concerned it's all rumors and fabrication.

Agree.

Saying it is a fact does not make it so unless you have some proof you're willing to share. If not then don't bother even mentioning it. Suggesting Dan could come on here and defend himself and deny it is laughable. Probably doesn't even know this website exists for starters.
 
A bit of hysteria going on here. Time for a bit of Footy Club 101:

Just about every footy club has issues with at least one player on the list at any point in time.
These things are for the main part kept in house, for good reason.
Generally, the better the player the higher the club's level of tolerance. This is not unique to the poorer performing clubs. Think Collingwood and Hawthorn as examples.

It's amplified with Dan because (a) its happened before with him; and (b) through injury and form he is not a star or starting 18 player.

I think we'd all agree the overriding thing with Dan is that he just can't seem yet to pull it all together. Hope he does before he runs out of chances.
 
The reason he is not in the team is more around his body at the moment. He seized up a few times at coburg and has carried niggling injuries.

If he playse well against the Hawks in the scratch match today he will be ok..

Yep fair enough I reckon. I wouldn't assume things are fabricated just because I don't know facts but I'd certainly take them with a grain of salt. It wouldn't really affect my opinion on the topic. Some think Dan hasn't been selected due to fitness/form. I reckon there may also have been other considerations....past tense. That's just my personal opinion and I'd never claim it was fact. Fact is I wouldn't have a clue....I'm probably not alone there just the same. :hihi

IMO I really don't think you should have said that much and kept it to yourself. All you have done Poppa is open a can of worms.
I'm sure none of us would like such things speculated about us on a public web forum.

Of course you're entitled to your opinion but your comments are interesting in light of you looking forward to hearing from the club about this and saying it belongs on the rumour board. Poppa has every right to discuss his personal situation in as much or as little detail as he sees fit.

Might be time for the thread to get back on topic.

I said what I said to defend Rosy before everyone jumped all over her.
As old Jack would say, "I better not say anything more in case I say something".
I'm not going to add anything more.
