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

What do we do with our supercoach team if in 4 rounds half our team get banned for 2 years?

Do what I did (and this was before the whole thing blew up)... don't pick any Essendon players.

Rumour has it that D fletcher has been attending the fountain of youth @ a nearby Anti-Aging house???

he could be still going 'round in 2525. :)

Well sure as hell he was given the placebo: the same as Cale tried.

AFL supremo Gillon McLachlan also said "Further, the AFL is not aware of any instance of suspected match fixing in the AFL competition". Isn't tanking, deliberately losing or throwing games a form of 'match fixing'? Just thinking bout MFC with the tanking claims.

AFL supremo McLachlan may well say that, but Caro says otherwise.. Who do you believe?? AFL supremo or an angry bitter woman with a personal grudge??

If the AFL we're serious years ago it would have looked at the West Coast Roidsters. You would have been living in a bat cave not to know what they were up to. Cousins links to organised crime as well as others. the AFL just washed its hands of all that stuff.

Now the Roidsters, West Coast Coke have the nerve to say their model should be used by other clubs.

Bloody hilarious mob.......West Coast cheated their way to at least 2 flags. Disgraceful

Remember when Buddy was supposedly injured last year for 6 weeks.

The rumour was he was on 3 strikes but they didnt want to make it public.

A couple of weeks ago I was at a function where an official from another Club was also attending. During the evening the wife of the official dropped a clanger along the same lines. The official wasn't happy. Obviously just hearsay though!

It only took a few players to be paid over the salary cap at the Storm to lose their premierships I guess.

It's a tough call. I suppose we will find out soon

"After all that [censored] hoohaar on Thursday, what we have is one individual, and a club that has been potentially duped. And surprise surprise some no neck thugby players doin roids. No match fixing in the AFL. So assuming we get off, the AFL actually only has one person of interest. Is this a sick Joke?

We have copped so much enormous and unnecessary additional heat an innuendo over this c*** of a government's political grandstanding."

Just took the above of B'Blitz. This halfwit is blaming the government! The are some real rocket scientists on Blitz. Great reading.

yes bbo, you won't find many alpaca farmers amongst that lot

Still cannot believe that Meth Coke got away with all that pretty much unscathed (apologies to the late Chris Mainwarring) was it just because they are in Perth??

If it was a Melbourne Club they would have been exposed for sure.

Disgrace AFL. I mean Benny even made a doco about it!!

I think they only touched the bottom of the well once?

But they hovered around it for some years, with Premiership quality already on their list.. injured & tired I presume.

i am talking about the AFL. They didn't touch them apart from Cousins, Benny did that himself. Ju$$ left off his own back, yes he was given the yellow brick road to lygon st but WC were left alone as a club.

Stinks. Always will.

Yeah, IMO the AFL slapped WC for the disrepute thing, & then try to help them back up.

WC lost Judd in a mercenary way to the Visy park greenery.

& Benny via the AFL.

I think WC were given plenty of latitude to regrow their list.

But this sort of covering up is where its all wrong,

The public should here all the sorded details, & its the public thinking that'll clean the mess, & bad eggs out.

Now the AFL has lost control of its game because of its own secrecy.

In a way, the AFL have become the victims of their own fear & control.

Just like the ACC are concerned about drugs, leading to organised crime having a hold over players.

Let the honesty begin.

Joe Daniher anywhere he likes

He may not have been on the list, but he has been training at the club for years now...

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
