Bombers scandal: charged, <redacted> and <infracted>

[Dr John Dee 1,057]

Can someone tell me if the NRL Tribunal that judged the Cronulla affair was held in camera?

I assume from the paucity of information we received about that judgement, that it was.

They didn't need one. The players coughed up when they saw what evidence ASADA had and made a deal. Anything the NRL needed to do from there was just rubber-stamping as far as I recall.

I know this! The true meaning of life is actually Seven: add your 42 together, 4+2 = 6, add yourself to the equation: 6+1 da da = no 7!!

. . or in keeping with our thread: take Jimmy Hird's famous jumper number (the no 5) add his two heads: 5+2 da da = no 7 again!!

How awesome is the universe!!

The hitchhiker's guide to the Essendons supplements program

[jnrmac 20,059]

The players concerned won't be sleeping well this week, and it has nothing to do with Hird's appeal.

Is their 10 days to appeal up?

I have no idea jnr. the whole thing re timming is now na mystery to me.

I lost track during October.

didnt think they were

Mark Thompson Quits Bombers

[old dee 23,787]

Quite funny really unless he paid the fine he would not be working there anyway.

The other funny thing for me is that he was the first person to raise questions about the supplements program and he is the only not still there.

[DemonFrog 1,354]

No need to worry as they have Mark Neeld now

[Lucifers Hero 39,747]

The bizzare thing is Ess won't pay the measley sum of $30K fine but they paid Hird a $1m to take a year off and paid for the course in France!

Thompson saved their bacon this year while golden boy was leading the high life in France!! Bottom half of the 2014 ladder for EFC without Bomber!

I'm gobsmacked! Bomber isn't just a sh-t kicker at the club. Champion. Premiership Captain. Reluctant but successful 2014 coach. He deserves better from the club he has served so diligently. He is entitled to be mighty mighty peeved and tell them to GAGS! EFC is a bizzaro club!

Essendon have no limits to appeasing their golden boy Tird. They will knife anyone that may tossle his golden locks.

It is like a cult and we all know how they end.

[Sir Why You Little 37,033]

We have no room i know, but i would love Thompson & Roos to work together

They are on the same page.

It would be great WYL if PJ can weave his magic spell, like he did with ROOSY.

[beelzebub 23,350]

Id be happy enough for Bomber to stay right away.

Could not diagree more. We don't need or want Bomber

Yes, the whole affair is morphing into a Shakesperean drama.

[Wormburner 674]

Is their 10 days to appeal up?

Yes. Infraction notices are being finalized as we speak and to be issued this week.

If we look back to the period just before he became coach he was portrayed as being a reluctant saviour begged to return to restore the clubs glory. In hindsight it now looks more like he was the mastermind of a diabolical plot to engineer his takeover of the club. I'm sure he was the root cause and agitator of the player go slow revolt that ended Matty Knights career. Edited November 12, 2014 by america de cali

[chook fowler 19,458]

I think the mastermind maybe a mistressmind named Tanya.

[daisycutter 29,613]

i don't get it

do they just collect senior coaches at essendrug?

hird, thompson, craig, harvey, neeld and they also tried to entice sheedy

just who funds all this?

This leads to the the possibility that Tird has been bewitched, hence a victim. Is that possible?
