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

Recommended Posts

That decision is then made by the Anti-Doping Rule Violation Panel, a body independent of ASADA that will view a brief of evidence and the ­players’ responses.

these guys apparently get to dish out the hell on the bombers

the sad day for football was when the likes of Hird and his henchment set out to rort the game.

Today is a GOOD day for football as it seeks to punish those who disregard the health of some and the best interests of the many.

F**K essendon

We are on the same page - my sadness is that whilst I have always believed that individuals transgress when it comes to drugs I never wanted to see the problem widen to whole segments of the industry like it has with cycling.

I have some sympathy for the footballers themselves. I am positive that they did not believe that they were taking something wrong and wouldn't get caught. I believe they put themselves in the hands of the club and its medical staff. I am sure there was a certain amount of naivety in the players acquiescing to the program. Although I still shake my head that players were asked to sign a document agreeing to the treatment. That really should have rung alarm bells.

One thing for certain - no footballer will accept any treatment without question again.

except it will bankrupt the club. Lawyers of the level required are more expensive than Dolly Parton's plastic surgeon.

Oh no, you mean that Dolly Parton has a plastic surgeon? That has just wrecked my whole day, IF it is true.

Seriously though, some of us demonlanders seem to take great glee from this situation. This is not a fun situation for anyone who likes watching AFL or who is associated with the game in whatever role.

I agree with one of the posts however, it would be great to beat another team fair and square, not one decimated by injuries, banned players etc.

They are cheats! They deserve to be punished. It is a good thing when cheats get caught. I think it has a cleansing effect, somewhat like lancing a boil.

To run flat out at high speed and be able to kick long low and hard, is rare. Dont see it much.

For a whole team to be suddenly able to do it after a pre-season was suspicious.

It stuck out like the proverbial. Im happy to believe the players, the doctors, the management and the coaches were all thinking the same thought.

"How goods this!".

Why the hell is the new AFL CEO not commenting...at all. Surely, as the head of the code, he would be making a comment even if it be about due process blah blah. I'm declaring him [censored] weak.

Along the same lines, you would think James Hird would make comment in support of the players.

RtG the less I hear from him the better.

With a small amount of luck he will stay in France for the next decade.

I would donate $20 in a fund to keep him there.

There is no doubt in anyones mind that this is going to be an ugly protracted legal battle. The advice to him would be simple - say and do nothing.

Glee and joy at Essendons mismanagement! It's good to see another club in trouble especially that one after all our troubles over the past seven years that all other clubs supporters took such a lot if happiness from! F$$$ Essendon!!!

With him they buried the muzzle his teeth had kissed,
And truthfully wrote the Mother “Tim died smiling.”

The last 2 lines of the Wilfred Owen poem SIW Self Inflicted Wound.
I cannot help but think, I wonder if James Hird is smiling?
EFC suffer at their own hands. No one else is to blame, incompetence is no excuse.
The path that EFC took was to gain advantage, to bend the rules to push the boundaries, to cheat. That path has led them here, it is the path they chose to take. Distraction and obfuscation will work no more. If the EFC suffer it is at their own hands, a Self Inflicted Wound.
NB: I acknowledge that EFC's actions are inconsequential in comparison to war, but the AFL is not a war, it is a sport and EFC have violated our game. May they die smiling.

If Watson is found guilty does that mean he will have to hand back his Brownlow?

Should. Would?

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
