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


Jonesbag

Recommended Posts

Catching up on the week's reading and found this gem from Patrick Smith who's keeping up the attack on Tird:-Essendon owes Hird zilch but Bomber deserves whole lot better

A friend who has been 100% pro hird thru all this, last night tells me, that the only option for the club is to get rid of hird! while he stays the club's going nowhere

Lose and the bombers will just appeal.

Win and asada will issue show cause notices anyway

On holidays big fella???

How are the future leaders of the country treating you?

And how can we as a club celebrate the ineptness of the bombers.?

Is that the case? or is the cause related to a breach in the contract with the club conducting non ethical behaviour in general or directly to that person? it would be interesting to know if Zaharakis would be subject to the clause as it would be difficult for Ryder to walk under that clause with Essendon not yet guilty of drug cheating officially.

Failure of duty of care, I believe is the technicality.

Should be an easy one to win for the players.

What was injected? EFC- We don't know. We have no records.

Where is the duty of care? Non existent

Gulity = Player can walk.

IMO

Shocking that it isn't that simple. If it was surely Workcover would have ripped them a new one by now.

Either we're missing a piece of the puzzle or there's some silly buggers being played by some powerful people to keep the club out of the poo.

Amazing isn't it.

From the outside it is obvious that they are low life cheating barstards (EFC)

The power of power!

If you have money & contacts and are prepared to take everyone/thing to court, you can get away with many things.

I am hoping that the Weapon stands by his claim, does not negotiate and takes them to the cleaners in open court. My guess is that they (EFC) will pay just to shut him up.

I still think workcover will provide the biggest stick in the end. (For that new one)

Assuming the court sees in favour of ASADA on friday, how long till the players have to respond to the "show cause" notice and/or be given penalties?

Apologies if this is mentioned in one of the 300 prior pages ;)

Did not say what the decision either way would be bb.

I still have this gut feeling that the players will be hit with a wet tram ticket.

And it has got stronger since the Cronulla decision.

Middleton has no history of pussyfooting. He had nothing to do with the Sharks result either.

It s a quick (-ish ) result really :)

If Middleton was to do this, it could mean ASADA would have to re-issue the show-cause notices using other evidence. But ASADA has said it could compel the AFL to hand over its transcripts of the interviews under its legislative powers.

Essendon chairman Paul Little last month questioned whether that would be the right move for ASADA to make should the transcripts be banned, and called on the federal government to provide a circuit breaker.

"The view of our legal team was that if the process was deemed unlawful, they couldn't just simply start again within 24 hours," he said.

if essendon win this case and asada are told to stop investigating it will be the biggest disgrace.

I have heard that Brisbane BBQ's are great.

That little bit about costs is intriguing.

To us lay people it could be anything, you obviously spy some morsel of yumminess ?

funny enough bb I had one at my brothers last night.

very nice affair.

I can only guess that the the Lions would put on a good show for young Patty.

Brother knew nothing re Paddy but did say what happens if he is suspended do the Lions get left holding the bag?

I said yes.

    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

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
