I love how they throw in the "likely easy-beat St Kilda" slap. Wonder what they would have said about us in there ;)

Jon Ralph. So unnecessary and so disrespectful. ( not too mention that the season hasnt started and who knows what will happen - StKilda could do a Port Adelaide).

Maybe from now on we should refer to him by his full title - Likely never had an original thought in his life Journo, Jon Ralph.

Because some were unsafe (fact) and some were unknown and still are no doubt

But that is not what you said.

"they were injected with unknown unsafe substances"

No maybes there that I can see.

There is lots on suggestions as to what they were but I have seen nothing that proves that anyone knows for sure what they were given.

HH is spot on. OldDee you are nitpicking. I challenge you to be injected with an unknown substance. Unknown substances are precisely that - it could be the elixir of life or it could be anything.

Or it could be harmless.

If you don't know you don't know

IMO it is that simple.

Now that is not to say that everything is ok and that it was not a terrible situation that came into play at Essendon.

I like most people think Hird should go because he allowed a situation to develop where he did not know what was happening.

But you cannot say they were definitely given harmful substances.

Very big chance they were but there is no definite proof that I have seen so far.

I agree Sue. The very uncertainty of what was injected was disgraceful. And the players will live with uncertainty of it for the rest of their lives. What a sell out of young lives.

Or it could be harmless.

If you don't know you don't know

IMO it is that simple.

If it's that simple then how come you don't fathom that is the problem. They don't know and will never know what they had been given.

I don't think anyone is saying emphatically that what was taken was definitely dangerous.

The issue at hand is connecting the illegal substances that were acquired to individual players who were part of the program.

He still didnt put the lives of 40 odd teenagers/young men at risk by overseeing a program where they were injected with unknown unsafe substances

If they were unknown how can you know they were unsafe?

Because some were unsafe (fact) and some were unknown and still are no doubt

This is starting to sound like one of George W Bush's (many) whacko colleagues. Can't remember which, maybe Rumsfold or Cheney, rambled on about "known unknowns, and unknown unknowns".

Now regardless of whether what James' young charges were given by injection was really known, but would be best (from James' viewpoint) to be regarded as unknown, or whether it was really an unknown unknown it was incredibly irresponsible and totally failed any duty of care encumbent on the coach, the match committee / football department and ultimately the boards and CEO.

Cannot disagree with your second para mono.

I have said Hird and company are at fault and should not be at the bombers.

Actually Hird is nearly the only left which is a discrace.

However I still say how can you categorically say you were inject with a dangerous substance if you don't what is was?

And i don't want to nit pick with you, but if you don't know what you are being injected with, it IS dangerous (or at very least, potentially so).

Think I will leave it here mono.

We all believe that they probably got something illegal

Proving it seems to be a fair bit harder as the only person who knows is not talking

There are no positive tests so we end up in the current position.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
