gws?

i just hope its not apollo bay

then my world would be stuffed

A lot of similarities between the Apollo Bay Hawks and the MFC jazza. Winless in 2011 but now building a stronger team. Go Bayers!

 

Any chance an EFC supporter?

 

What are they smoking at our universities? The right intent

"From what I saw Essendon's program was not illegal and was in fact well documented and controlled."

Pity they lost the documents.

Are those cheating, drug addled pricks still in the league? Massive surprise.


So why did Robson, Corcoran, the Doc, Dank and Weapon go? And Hird suspended. Obviously victims of a great miscarriage of justice.

It's a joke. Surely the icing on the cake would be Turd as CEO. Make it happen Bombers.

He's just searching for attention. Making big statements with little common sense. He's a law lecturer who has interests in indigenous law and drugs in cycling.

When I read that he lectures in law it piqued my interest so I checked his bio:-

Martin Hardie has managed bands and worked in Aboriginal Art and Craft centres. He has been a solicitor and a barrister, acting in matters concerning administrative law and constitutional law and particularly, as counsel for Australian Indigenous artists in their quest for copyright protection; the challenge by Jose Ramos Horta to the Australian Timor Gap legislation and in a case concerning the NT legislation legalising euthanasia. He has also been an advisor to various members of the former East Timorese resistance and government, a university lecturer, a cyclist, cycling journalist and team manager.

His time is spent with the ambition of becoming the archetype of life within communism; at the break of dawn a seakayaker during the day a teacher and a cook, cyber-conspiracist and correspondent, in the afternoons, a student and philosopher and, at nights, simply pleasant company.

I'm speechless.

Quotes Chaucer at dinner parties. Chicks dig him.

No there no way that true WJ.

I am awaiting your official reply

He used the word 'Modernity' in a paper, I loathe the term.

From wj's bio on him the guy seems 'a tad unbalanced'. Didn't mention any footy allegiances, but not hard to guess. "Well documented and controlled" yet nobody can find these fabulous documents. Maybe if I ever were to unexpectedly ( and may I add uncharacteristically) commit a mass murder I should look him up to plead my total innocence.


is "awaked" even a word?

It used to be, until about 400 years ago. Nobody much has used it since then. And Chaucer didn't.

I'm more intrigued by Hardie's "ambition of becoming the archetype of life within communism." Can you register a Trabant in Victoria?

So why did Robson, Corcoran, the Doc, Dank and Weapon go? And Hird suspended. Obviously victims of a great miscarriage of justice.

Apparently so.

The Doc is back, which I think is just another disgrace, in this whole disgraceful episode.

As I said... He's an attention seeking w**ker. Should work for the AFL.

This Hardie character purports to be a champion of sportspeople oppressed by tough anti-doping policies and, while he might have a point about the frustrations suffered by some at their treatment, he overlooks the fact that it's a necessary evil in seeking to ensure that clean athletes who want to get to the top of their sports through talent and hard work aren't trumped by the chemists.

I regard it in a similar light to the inconvenience caused by x rays and having to go through metal detectors at airports. I don't like some of the unfriendly, gruff security people but, in the end, I'm happy to put up with it if it makes my flight safer.

The statement attributed to Hardie about Essendon's "well documented and controlled" programme is risible. If the author of this article wasn't engaging in a tasteless student prank, then it doesn't speak kindly about the academic standards of this institution.

Meanwhile, in the real world, the chasm between Fairfax and the Murdoch press is demonstrated by how their journalists are interpreting the appointment of Judge Downes - ASADA investigation: Former Federal judge Garry Downes steps in to help speed things up

Federal Sports Minister Peter Dutton said the appointment of Downes provided additional resources to ASADA and his role was to help decide if charges could be laid.

''ASADA's investigative process has been ongoing for nearly a year and is of unprecedented complexity,'' Dutton said. ''In light of this, it is appropriate that a suitably qualified person be engaged to assist ASADA as the investigations approach conclusion.''

The Minister says the Judge has been appointed to "assist ASADA" but the Murdoch press suggests that he's somehow investigating it.

You be the judge.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
