From the article:

Its understood the Bombers have come to an agreement with the AFL which will include the loss of draft picks across two years.

An insider described the AFL as "not backing down

and a bucket if soy sauce. Quote unquote "Bargeass"

Is Brown Sugar performance enhancing?

Certainly was for Keith between 1968-74. They were on fire back then!!

14+ wins in a season & no finals

1968 Richmond

1992 Carlton

2013 Essendon!

I suspect the order should also include a very large slab of mudcake. And pizza:

For sale: 2 tickets to Essendon v Richmond on Saturday night.

Going cheap.


Corcoran 4 months. Thats garbage. bailey got longer for NOT tanking.

What would CC think of that one he got 12 months for telling jokes and no bodies health was put at risk.

Well with the exception of of my mental health

Yeah but they are also copping draft losses and all their points, so that would make the others get a lighter sentence.

I think people need to look through the stated "official" verdict on the MFC tanking and realise the actuality of the matter given the penalties and the circumstances.

Nevertheless, Corcoran should have gone in my opinion. Head of FD and does not know what was going on for player welfare. Yeah right!

I will happily swap all our 2011, 12 and13 points for no half a million fine.

I don't know what is in the 'official" verdict nor where to find it, so without you expanding on it, I can't be sure what you are referring to. But even if CC was guilty of the most outrageous and unprecedented tanking, the penalty for the 'supplements' program should be much higher than CC got. Of course you could argue CC should have got a smaller penalty.


So no finals, $2m fine, and out of the first two rounds of this draft, and the first round of the next one...

Those picks being taken away will mean that the Bombers will feel this more 7+ years from now.

Only the AFL could officiate a ludicrous enquiry outcome to suit its own ends yet still fine the club and officials when the football world believes we tanked. And we threw games to get draft picks. We tanked.

Nevertheless I believe the appalling governance failures at Essendon should result in the four aminos leaving. Whatever sympathy I might have had for Hird has gone as he has held the game to ransom and players welfare has been compromised.

I hope the fines, 2 years draft picks penalties and the loss of 2013 points goes ahead.

I still think 2013 is a crock...2014 would hurt and send a message. Its like a sentence of time served... big f'n deal.

Is that official?

If so the Bombers will feel it from day 1 because they have no picks to trade with given they viewed themselves in the premiership window.

Still would have wanted the first 3 rounds of draft picks for two years being the penalty.

The AFL needs to send a very message to other clubs and the broader community.

On the basis of these penalties for very poor governance, the four aminos can't possibly stay. It makes no sense.

Let's not get into this again...

We were chased around the yard for playing Warnock forward and Johnson back in a game we were in front of when the final siren went.

What the football world thinks is neither here nor there.

I have a Crows supporting mate who thinks they were hard done by moreso than the Dees because 'all they had was an email' and 'we were under the cap with the extra payments anyway!' (I had to explain all the AFL had on the Dees were disgruntled former employees and a bad joke)

So I am not about to continue the flaggelation of the Dees for doing what the Pies, the Hawks, the Blues, the Eagles, the Saints, and the Tigers have also done in the past. Especially with what the Crows, and the Bombers have done more recently.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
