1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: Now, late on Friday, we learned the Nightcliff Tigers NTFL 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: finals hopes ring jeopardy after the club allegedly it breached 3 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,719 Speaker 1: the fly in player rules. So an investigation by the 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: NTFL reportedly revealed that the club allowed more than three 5 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: fly in players in the men's Premier League rounds during 6 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: thirteen and fourteen of the season. Now, they had said 7 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: that the club was going to be hit with a 8 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,760 Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars fine and was set to fourfoit premiership 9 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: points percentage and player allocations and meant that the team 10 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,840 Speaker 1: would drop down the ladder and out of finals contention. 11 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: Now the head coach was also given a two match suspension. 12 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: But late yesterday an appeal was heard and the AFL 13 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 1: well by the AFL, I should say, and following that 14 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 1: appeal hearing, the NTFL Appeals Board has upheld the appeal 15 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: lodged by the Nightcliff Tigers Football Club. As a result, 16 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: the previously imposed sanctions, including the forfeiture of premiature premiership points, fine, suspensions, 17 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: they've all been overturned. Now joining me in the studio 18 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 1: is the Nightcliff Tigers Football Club President Mark Dodge. 19 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 2: Good morning, Dodgy, Katy, how are you doing? 20 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, really well, Thank you so much for your time 21 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: this morning. Now, Dodgy, I was pretty surprised when i'd 22 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: heard this on Friday and you were front footing it. 23 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: You'd already messaged me, you know, a response, so that 24 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 1: we knew what was going on, and we knew that 25 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 1: the Tigers were certainly going to be appealing this decision. 26 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: That appeal was heard by the AFL yesterday. Now we 27 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: know that that basically or the suspension, the fines, the 28 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: premiership points, everything has been overturned. What was your reaction 29 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: and what was the club's reaction when you learned that 30 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: the decision was ultimately it had all been overturned. 31 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 2: Ellie Crossman and I were sitting in that appeal for 32 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 2: well over two and half nearly three hours, I think, 33 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 2: and we're pretty excited. We're definitely relieved and pleased that 34 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 2: the results gone our way. 35 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, So talk me through like the allegation. I mean, 36 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: they'd said that you had too many flying players in 37 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: rounds thirteen and fourteen. Where was then? 38 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 2: It's a little complicated, but I'll try and simplified as 39 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 2: much as possible. We had a young player called Riley Baldy, 40 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 2: who drove himself up here to Darwin, got himself a 41 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 2: job and said, I really want to play footy for 42 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 2: the Nightcliff Tigers. He knew somebody down south had played 43 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 2: up here, said he wanted to play this season out. 44 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 2: He's a young guy who's probably got a future in 45 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 2: AFL VFL football in Victoria. So he was a terrific 46 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 2: pickup for us. We then lodged the relevant paperwork to 47 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 2: say that he's a resident and AFLNT accepted that in 48 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 2: November and allowed him to be a flying player. The 49 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 2: round before the two alleged rounds, he actually hurt his 50 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 2: hand and had to go to Victoria, but we went. 51 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 2: He just chose to go to Victoria to get it 52 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 2: fixed because he knows doctors down there, got some surgery 53 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 2: done rang us and said we're ready to come back up. 54 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 2: We said, great, come back up. Terrific. We didn't pay 55 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 2: for any of this. He just did it all himself. 56 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 2: He flew back up and then he was offered a 57 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 2: job coaching in Victoria by Casey. At the time that 58 00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 2: he made the decision, he informed the club that he 59 00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 2: was going to make that decision. He played one extra 60 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 2: game and we have been proven that he was still 61 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 2: a residential player at the stage because he hadn't taken 62 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 2: the role. It was just okay, yeah, yeah, and then 63 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 2: we put him on the flying list because that's what 64 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 2: we should do. So if someone has decided they're not 65 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 2: going to be resident in Northern Territory, we must put 66 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 2: him on a flying list. That alerted the AFLNT to 67 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 2: a situation that they thought was not correct, and they 68 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 2: alleged that we breached the rules because we played two 69 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 2: games with him in thirteen and fourteen where he was 70 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 2: allegedly should have been listened as a fly and play, 71 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 2: but of course it's been proven incorrect. 72 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: So he was actually a resident in rounds thirteen and fourteen. 73 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 2: Correct. Yeah. 74 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: So what was the reaction on Friday when you started 75 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: to see that, you know that this allegation had come 76 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: through and that these sanctions had come through, and it 77 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: essentially meant that Nightcliffe was well knocked out of finals 78 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: contention almost. 79 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 2: I mean, we're going to finish fifth if we'd gone 80 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 2: against us, because the results went that way. But it 81 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 2: did mean that we were going to lose the double chants, 82 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 2: that the one that you work so hard for to 83 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 2: finish second or third. I believe we finished second now 84 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 2: on the ladder, and look, we were devastated a couple 85 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 2: of things. Firstly because of the playing situation. We're there 86 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 2: to play in premierships and that's what it's all about. 87 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 2: But the second thing is that we as a club, 88 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 2: a very proud club. We're a family and Nightcliffe don't cheat. 89 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 2: We play it hard, we play it tough, but we 90 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 2: play it fair and if we can avoid any of 91 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 2: this sort of stuff, we certainly will. But it's an 92 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 2: absolute nightmare for coaches and team managers to work all 93 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 2: this stuff through, even though we were totally right in 94 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 2: this situation. 95 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: Dodgy, I mean, you know, without knowing a huge amount. 96 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: Like I'm not an expert when it comes to the 97 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: fly and flyout rule and that kind of stuff, but like, 98 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: do you think there needs to be a relook at this? 99 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 2: I think there does. Look, it's definitely there to protect 100 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 2: local players, So you don't want sides richer club's going 101 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 2: down to Victoria and putting eighteen players in that are 102 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 2: all into state players that are much better than our 103 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 2: local talent. So we don't want that. The situation is 104 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 2: you can only play three flying players each game, and 105 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 2: I think it's six for the year. It might be five, 106 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 2: but it's six for the year. And that basically means 107 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 2: that clubs here are protected. But when it comes to 108 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 2: this type of thing where a young guy comes up 109 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 2: here he relocates, there's just no way that he could 110 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 2: be deemed to be a flight And the AFL and 111 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 2: T Tribunal TfL Tribunal agreed with us. 112 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 1: I mean, surely that's what we want. Surely we want 113 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: some of these young fellows actually moving to the Northern Territory. 114 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: They're doing a trade, you know, doing some other kind 115 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: of job and moving here and relocating to play. 116 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 2: I mean, young Riley was contracted by the Lachland College 117 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 2: and his principal said, he's got a job. We provided 118 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 2: all the documentation. It's an absolute nightmare to provide documentation 119 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 2: of proof of that. To be fair to the AFL 120 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 2: and C, they don't have a Stazi type you know, 121 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,559 Speaker 2: set up where they can spy on every club. 122 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. 123 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, And that was their defense was pretty much, look, 124 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 2: you know, we don't have that situation. We lie on 125 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 2: clubs to be honest. We were honest and we felt 126 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 2: that we weren't given a fair chance to defend our 127 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 2: course to the AFL and T before they made the sanctions, 128 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 2: and that's why we appeled it, and the commission actually 129 00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 2: agreed with us. 130 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: I mean, dodgy, I know it. Footy clubs, particularly coaches 131 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 1: and their players, they try not to get too sort 132 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: of caught up in different things like this. Saw different 133 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: issues from time to time when they arise within a 134 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: footy club. But how like, how is your coach and 135 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: your players feeling after this whole situation's unfolded. 136 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 2: Now that it's been decided in our favor, we're on 137 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 2: top of the world. We actually had our best and 138 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 2: fearest count last night and the decision, the speech that 139 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 2: I made basically said this could have either been awake 140 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 2: discussing what had happened, or an eighteenth birthday party. It 141 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 2: was an eighteenth birthday party. We're floating on top of 142 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 2: the world. 143 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: Who got your best in Fairest? 144 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 2: Brady Philo won the men's best in Fires and Gabrielle 145 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 2: Della won the women's best in Farrest, So two fabulous players. 146 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 2: Brody's been a terrific young guy in our footy club 147 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 2: for a long time. He's paid over one hundred and 148 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 2: fifty games. 149 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, and with some of your great volunteers and 150 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: that kind of thing recognized as well. 151 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, they were people like Andrew Rock's gone through, all 152 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 2: of the people that have been around the club for 153 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 2: a long time, Rod Bronson and those they're the people 154 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 2: that I feel that I represent because obviously it's it's 155 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 2: okay to put on a jump and play footy and 156 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 2: that's what it's all about, but it's all the stuff 157 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 2: that goes on behind the scenes, and it's important with 158 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 2: one family, if you attack one of us, we're all 159 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 2: being attacked. 160 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: Well look, I think most people would know I'm a 161 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: war retas you know. You know I'm I'm with the 162 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: Tars now my kids both playing for them. But I 163 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: do know that Nightcliff Tigers, as with all of the 164 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: AFL clubs across the Northern Territory, you know, I do 165 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: a lot to try to you know, to try to 166 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: keep footy really happening throughout the community. And also a 167 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: lot of those volunteers, you know, like people there every 168 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: single weekend helping out at the club. So it is 169 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: wonderful to see them recognized. 170 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 2: One of the award recipients for the Coaches Award from 171 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 2: the Women's Premier League player the coach actually Andrew Rocker 172 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 2: up and said, they do somewhere between fifty and sixty 173 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 2: hours a week. I mean I put in thirty. Luckily 174 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 2: I can do that after ours, but yeah, but some 175 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 2: of them, it's just a huge they putting more than 176 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 2: I do. 177 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: Dodgy in terms of you know what's happened over the weekend, 178 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: in terms of going from thinking, all right, we might 179 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: be knocked out of finals content or losing you know 180 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: that spot that you were after throughout the finals contention, 181 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: obviously good news. One of the other big parts of that, 182 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: or one of the other big aspects is obviously we 183 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: know that this is cam Islet's final year. Wonderful fellow, 184 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: so no doubt a positive thing now for the club 185 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: in terms of hopefully seeing him off in the way 186 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: that he probably deserves. 187 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 2: There's certainly a sting in the tail at Tiger Land 188 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 2: to so to use a cliche, yeah, look, we were 189 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 2: pretty fired up anyway because we've we've done all the 190 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 2: hard work and look there's some pretty good sides in 191 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 2: the finals this year. There always is people like Southern 192 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 2: district's Warata. You mentioned tee Weie Bombers exciting Saint Mary's. 193 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 2: Of course they're always tough to beat, but we believe 194 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 2: we've got the team to do it both in men 195 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 2: and women's Premier League. But obviously Cam playing the last game. 196 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 2: He's been with us for eight years. I think you 197 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 2: were there the day that I brought him into the studio. 198 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember it, remember it well.

But you 204 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:08,839 Speaker 2: guys are pretty fit. 205 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: But yeah, no doubt you know he'll be keen to 206 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: see the season out in a positive way. 207 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 2: Oh yes, Look, and and Cam's the ultimate professional footballer. 208 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 2: I've never seen anyone who prepares as well as he does. 209 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 2: But not only that, he's just a really nice guy. 210 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 2: He's the first guy to put his arm around someone 211 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 2: who's having a tough time. He does a lot of 212 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 2: the kids who come off And that's where he's going 213 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 2: down to South Australia to head the North and Northern Territory, 214 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 2: South Australian Victoria branches. 215 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: Yeah right, good fantastic, good on. 216 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 2: We'll miss him deally, he's a good friend. 217 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, Dodgy. I mean, like from what has happened over 218 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: the weekend, a like, are you guys at the Tigers 219 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: have you are you are you annoyed by what's gone down? 220 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: Or are you sort of feeling you know, you're feeling okay, 221 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: you've got that justification. What's the feeling. 222 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 2: The feeling for the team and the players is okay, 223 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 2: we've got this. Now let's move on, and they want 224 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 2: to win this flag on all of you. Instance is 225 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 2: our first year that Nightcliffe Tigers have had all their 226 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 2: senior sides playing in finals, so it's wonderful for us. 227 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 2: But the message basically is Nightcliff, don't cheat. And that's it. 228 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,079 Speaker 2: I mean, I was able to put that little, if 229 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 2: you called a hashtag across the media, but it really 230 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 2: is true. It's something that very very important to us. 231 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,719 Speaker 2: We're a team of integrity and look, some of the 232 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 2: supporters and the older members are pretty angry, but I 233 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 2: you know, at the end of the day, we work 234 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 2: within the bounds of our peak body, which is a 235 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 2: f l n T and we don't believe that they 236 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 2: had any vindictive approach to us. We just think that 237 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 2: it was a mistake on their part. 238 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: Well Mark Dodge, president of the Nightcliff Tigers Football Club, 239 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: lovely to speak to you this morning.
