There seems to be a lot of disparity in what people think is fair for drug breaches. Wade Lees, a VFL footballer, orders a supplement from overseas, never gets it because it is intercepted, doesn't k

Do you think that one day CGI will advance far enough to realistically animate Luke Darcy?

If half of what he is saying is true, AD better be on the next flight back to Melbourne.

Not sure how much shite this bloke is saying tho, he does not seem fully honest, most things seem to be him saying no and Hird over ruling him.

BomberBlitz "It never happened" "Hird is a champion" Denile is a river in Eygpt!!! Tomorrow will be a good day for reading the papers. :)

No need I'll tell you now:

The Age. Hird needs to go, the Bummers need to be penalised to the full extent.

The H Sun. Robinson is not to believed, he is a disgruntled former employee looking for revenge how can he be believed. Bummers stand by Hird.

No wonder the big clubs aren't concerned we are going to get a priority pick, they are too busy getting on the gear!!

when the salary cap came in, I remember the Pies saying they will find an advantage thru footy dept spend... & it seems they did & have, & nowadays Arizona comes to mind...

We should employ the Weapon now.

There is no way he would cross the line.

I was thinking Exactly the same thing, that If this guy proves to be completely clean in all this, as he's stated,,, then He IS the type of person we want to have around our club.

I believe him.

The weapon obviously trying not to incriminate himself. Very [censored] off fellow traveller at best and scapegoat. Hird, hcw can his massive ego take this? His wellfare of concern.

Ling, very prickly and defensive. Hiding something on Geelong's program? Dodging, ducking and weaving everywhere by all the experts.

Lost a bit of my respect when he claimed they didn't have more than the average injuries last year. I call BS on that. Also call BS that he admitted to getting injected with one of the drugs for a vanity purpose but then was so against all the players getting stuff.

But did seem to me like a guy who was clearly out of his depth with the supplements and not a ring leader in the program. He let Dank provide supplements to his wife and unborn babies. That shows to me that he trusted Dank and obviously isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. You want pregnancy supplements, see a pharmacist or a doctor.

Anyway good luck to David Zaharakis who was apparently the only one smart enough to not take regular injections of products never tested

I'm over the ASADA investigation. I honestly don't care if it was against their rules or not. They weren't cyclists taking EPO. Whatever they were taking may or may not have helped them win games but they didn't win the flag so I don't really care. And WADA couldn't catch half the cyclists or half the other drug cheats in this world. I care little for their credibility unfortunately.

But the Ziggy investigation confirmed it and the weapon and media have all continued to confirm that Essendon players took unregulated, untested substances and that the coaches must have known they were pushing boundaries and when it comes to Hird he obviously took some of this stuff as well.

That's enough for me to say that Essendon should get a monster fine, loss of drafts picks and that anyone with knowledge of this should be suspended from the AFL. And that includes Dank, Robinson, Corcoran, Dr Reid and of course Hird.

On early impressions i think Dean Robinson is telling the truth from his POV.

This is going to explode...

Your kidding right WYL, I hate the Bombers but Robinson couldn't lie straight in bed and crocodile tears if I ever saw them

that would mean he is prepared to be slashed & crucified by Essendon lawyers.

It makes no sense for him to go on national TV and blatantly lie.

You could be right. But on seeing that I/V once i believe for most of the time he was telling his truths.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
