The 2000 premiership - awarded to us retrospectively?

Featured Replies

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

If you come second against drug cheats, you've earned it.

no

 

Ah no. For starters it was 13 years ago. Different coaches, players and administrators. Thats just drawing at a very long bow

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.

Not sure if serious


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

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
