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



Recommended Posts

Posted

Yes. Imagine the poor dudes at the players association trying to monitor and do something for the players' long-term health but are hamstrung by the fact that nobody (supposedly, but I wouldn't believe it in a pink fit) can say what they were given. They keep records of every bloody little thing they do - except for what they were injecting into their arms (my wife is a nurse - finds this the most surprising aspect of the whole thing - says they have to keep records of every little thing they do. I suppose shes only surprised because she comes from the legitimate health world, rather than the body-building 'sports science' muscles-and-balls-in-inverse-proportions one (if that makes sense)

Hopefully this will continue to punish the Bummers for years to come. Lawsuits from players in ten or twenty years? Delisted players spilling th beans? All good.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are records somewhere; maybe someone is keeping them for self insurance.

Maybe they have been handed over to the governing bodies.

If Vlad wasnt compromised the league would truly have their curlies.

To me only shows the complicity early in all this mess.

The article by Patrick Smith pulls no punches, listing Hird's sins and AD's woes:

A million bucks for Hird to twiddle his thumbs - quite a punishment

In the end Demetriou's biggest mistake was that he had not considered it possible a man of Hird's (previous) standing in football would not acknowledge the damage he had done and would continue to do to his club and to his sport.

Yesterday Hird made a million bucks at the same time he lost the last drop of his dignity, last dollop of respect.

A pretty scathing article and paints Hird as a selfish arrogant man who has no regards for his club, just his own ego.

I had a look at bomberblitz and the thread to do with all this has disappeared. Any good conspiracy theory as to why?

Yes, all bombers fans are just delighted at the goings on at their club.

There would be no need for a discussion over there. The thread would start with "we are innocent and it's all AD's fault" then there would be 1000 I agree posts.

Posted

But by whom?

Oh yes they can. They are Essendon after all. They can do what they please and AD is too weak and scared to take them on. WADA / ASADA on the other hand MAY prove to be a different proposition.

May?

June?

July?

And of what year?

The atmosphere about this investigation is truly dank.

Do they have a "LIKE" button?

I think during The Weapon's interview the site went into melt down so they made a separate forum only available to members (I remember reading an admin post on the site saying this and all ASADA/Drug related threads will be moved there).

It was a great read prior to that though!

I got the impression from looking at comments on other threads that it has been very recently removed.

They did but it was used too much after someone posted after a game. " The weapon and Dr.Dank have transformed our players into some of the most gifted athletes the AFL has ever seen"

I was reading the thread on BomberBlitz yesterday. The posters were going ballistic about Demetriou and my guess is that one of the posters over there got stroppy and demanded it be removed on the grounds that it was just tasteless and puerile.

Probably was, and just moved to the private forum for all ASADA/Drug threads, so people like us cant read it.

Posted

So what's to stop someone from registering and reading the private forum?

A life...

Don't shoot the messenger. Just repeating what I read!


Posted

Hey, wasn't shooting. Just asking --- I'm just thinking of joining to get in on the entertainment.

"A life" wasn't meant to be rude; it's the only reason I can think of.

I just tried to make an account to see what else could stop me from just signing up and looking at the forum. It asked me an Essendon related question "to protect from spammers" and after I clicked register this popped up:

"Thank you XXX. Your registration has been successful. The administrator wishes to preview all new registered accounts before posting permissions are granted. The administrator has been notified of your registration."

I enjoyed the post on Bomberblitz which complained about the Hird/whatever thread being removed because then he couldn't celebrate the victory of Hird getting his $1m. I have a bridge to sell to that fellow.

On the other hand, maybe he is wiser than I give him credit for. Paying Hird to keep out of the way overseas may reasonably be seen as a victory for Essendon supporters given the damage he has done.

You're wrong in the sense that he earned his $1 million not for doing nothing, but for doing the wrong thing!

Hypothetically, if he is charged by ASADA what happens to the million?

If you're a paid up member would you be happy if you donated money to the club, particularly considering this has cost them to date just under $4 million, and Hird who was at the helm of all of this has been paid?!

He shouldn't have taken the money. Not with how much he has cost and damaged the club, players and supporters.

On the other hand maybe he knows what's coming and getting as much as he can get before the charges.

PS: Great last line! 4,000+ injections... OVER FOUR THOUSAND! What's more worrying is WorkSafe's silence.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year.
