Responsibility

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

Melodrama, melodrama.

Players named covered??

I'll say it again. The players were not alleged to have done anything wrong.

I think your safe from being mentioned on TV. And I am sure you have not done anything.

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

This must be Dr. Who...

Satyricon and Dr Who are two different people. I know both as we do some work at the club together through The D2D program.

I just have this gut feel that something is not right behind the scenes.

The supposed clashes between Neeld and Todd Viney for example, what were they about?

Really DeeZee? What exactly is making you feel this way hmmmm?

No way! If it is any incarnation of the good doctor, it surely must be the sixth one. (Whovians will get that joke).

You poor bastard.

Welcome back Ben Hur.

Stick around.

That Dank is the leaker is beyond dispute, but not the point.

The point is the club's first statement was nothing more or less than weasel words designed to wriggle around the truth.

John Howard could not have drafted anything better.

It is a classic case of a partial truth designed to create an entirely false impression.

OK I want to withdraw this earlier post of mine, but only in the sense that I am accusing the club of weasel words and taking lessons from John Howard.

It may well have been an honest statement given the Friday April 19 revelation about Bates.

John Howard remains the master of weasel words and I should not have doubted the old fella for a minute.

Dank is clearly the leaker because ONLY HE would have access to all his texts: the ones that implicate Essendon and the ones that implicated Melbourne/Bates, and secondly because ONLY HE stands to gain from the content of the Melbourne messages all of which point to a legal supplements program.

ergo, ipso facto and all the rest.

Well....funny feelings and noises in my stomach, but when i go to the toilet nothing comes out.

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,274]

I expect the players to be made to run out in red and blue clown suits in Sunday.

And oversized shoes!

[Hannibal 5,814]

And oversized shoes!

I was laughing yesterday having read Old's post, because I visualised them running down the race and onto the ground in said clown suits. It's highly appropriate and best sums up this once proud, but now pathetic football club.

I love the show but like every stereotype, there is more than a kernel of truth in that! Just remember.... it's not real!

[mjt 640]

Was this a case of Dr. Bates running his own agenda....Knowing that all the supplememnts used were not illegal at that point.

This would not excuse the Board completely, but i still cannot reason why The Board would mislead the AFL.

They knew how serious this investigation was....we all saw and heard the press conferences.

Once the dust settles. it is either Dr. Bates or the Board who must leave.

Somebody lied (again) and this is just about my tipping point as was discussed last year.

7 years of going backwards is not good for anyones health or self esteem.

And now our coach says we are level with GW$...A True Cop Out

3 years ago we were neck & Neck with Tiges & Kangas...

Ever since Jimma was diagnosed with Cancer...This club has just made the wrong decisions. We could have got stronger, but that takes effort

I know jims gone and god bless his soul, but the people he hired are the guys making the wrong decisions, probably wouldv happened regardless.
