The 2000 premiership - awarded to us retrospectively?

Featured Replies

Posted

I have a feeling that some really bad things are going to come about about James Hird's playing days in the collateral damage of this ASADA investigation.

Le'ts not forget this is the guy who hired Shane Charter to help him in his playing days with 'dietary advice'.

Hird was the captain of the all conquering Bomber team that rolled us in the 2000 grand final and lost just 1 game all season.

Things are going to get very interesting over the next few months.

Wasn't this Shane whoever working with Woey in 2000?

Yes he was.


You earn a premiership. You dont get them handed to you

no

 

Would take it, season 2000 was magical. Won't happen, very long bow.


ffs that was 13 years back. no evidence of wrongdoing then. Some folk need to get hands above the table.


Teach the drug cheats a lesson they would never forget!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL

Wouldn't want it, if it did happen (which it won't) it'd be like the Storm situation and the premierships would just be void for those years.

If we are given the 2000 cup it should be crushed and turned into an ashtray.

No, I'd prefer it be turned into a blugdeon so that we long suffering supporters can give ourselves a whack whenever we think our fortunes are turning around.

i couldn't touch it as it has been soiled in their cupboard for 13 years...

Or a bed pan with a picture of Vlad on the bottom of it.

 

Even if there was a remote chance of Essendon losing their 2000 premiership (there isn't), there's no way it would get awarded to us. It would be written off forever.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
