The 2000 premiership - awarded to us retrospectively?

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.

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
