You can bet the ziggy report will as sir humphrey of Yes Minister would say, only have an enquiry when you know what the answer is. The a/cs payable girl will get the flick for paying PED bills without approval.

Andys demeanour last week indicated to me he was not happy and there are likely to be more Bomber shells to explode. Hirds issue is that in the initial presser he took responsibility for the football dept. If others under him go like corcoran he should quit based on this statement. If the reid letter ended in Robsons top draw then Robson should go. All this stuff is about goverance. The AFL will clobber Essendon over this as its easier to prove than the drugs part. There are probably OH and S issues and medicare issues too .

Andy's term as boss is turning to schyte just as he was looking to go... now he can't, until all the crap is smoothed away.

Let me open with this. I have always admired Hird, a great player, decent human being and wished we had such a champion at our club. My gut instinct tells me the Essendon Football Club tried to be c

I can't quite understand how Hird developed such a golden reputation. If I were managing him, I wouldn't let him near a microphone. Some of his better moments have included criticising an individual

What about Gerard Healy's comments based on what he revealed to the AFL (Anderson)re: peptides last March about this issue? The AFL sat on this Bomber issue and twiddled their thumbs with beads of sweat. Hoping....but spruiking we have integrity...

Why did the AFL/Bombers announce to all in sundry the shennanigans at Essendon just prior to the Federal Government/Crime Authority/Aust.Sports bodies press conference in the same week?

Who is going to review AFL procedural matters and their governance?

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
