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?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    2024 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
