Gee these Norf supporters are a smug, holier then thou mob.When did they grow the current chips on shoulder mentality.They are baying for blood at every other teams misfortunes as if they are the AFL moral police.Don't they remember brown paper bags in the 70's?

Has been fascinating to watch them stick the boots in RE:tanking and the current scandal.Can see myself seeding them higher in my pure derision rankings.Sincerely hope Norf and Carlscum implicated.

Perhaps they forget one of their best was on the white powder for most of his career, that's of course when he wasn't shaking hands with the captains wife.

beautifully put.

Thanks, WYL. It did make me think --- are the scum the only team to have downed us in more than one Grand Final? (1946, 2000, not to mention the draw in 1948). Someone with better historical knowledge than I may be able to confirm or deny this ... (though I think I am nuts for wanting to know )

Whos to blame if we get done for Tanking?

Jack Watts of course

Must be some sort of record, but this is the first article Caro has written in a long long time which does not try to link either the club, or CS into yet another AFL scandal...amazing !!

War on sports scientists

I don't remember 1946, and '54 was a very unexpected GF appearance coming from the cellar the previous year (? similar scenario with a young remodeled team 2013?) - cannot hold a grudge against the Doggies for that one.

Yes, you can --- it depends on how hard you try ... I will say that better the Doggies get their one and so far only than the filth getting two in a row ...

Must of been a typo, accidentally sent it off before copying and pasting in some dribble from her anti Melbourne folder.

Just saw a tweet made by former Demonologist (and perhaps very occasional Demonlander) Graham Gaunt:

"Paul Gardner just got on @2GB873 and mentioned that@melbournefc and another club north of Sydney are rumoured on the issue. #sourgrapes ?"

Anyone else hear this?

I guess there will always be those questions, especially when a club has surprisingly bulked up over a short period and brushed aside all opposition.

Clearly, whatever faults and failings MFC may have had over the years, body building drugs was very clearly not systemic at the ub.

That's it! All that possum poop in the 'Vault' must have been hallucinogenic! That would explain a lot of things ... B)

I don't put our recent plight purely to the fact we haven't and they have, there's a certain amount of natural fitness we haven't been able to acheive due to lack of facilities and lack of money in the football department. It's the ones who have gone the extra yard and have resorted to cheating I hate, if anyone at our club is involved I hope they get rubbed out too.

As an aside I wonder if Beamer would like to offer an opinion on Geelong when he was there.

I can tell you I know nothing of Beamer being involved in performance enhancing drugs whilst at the Cats.

Draw inferences from that as you see fit.

My question was if he was aware of it not if he was part of it.

On the issue? What does that mean? Fark me I tell you if any of our players from the last era of total [censored] (sh !t) were "involved" I'll just about give it away.

And seriously [censored] off Gardner you pompous bell end.

DAMN, I knew Morton and Cook put on too much muscle...

My question was if he was aware of it not if he was part of it.

Take out the two words in italics RF.....

This has made me wonder about the fall out with our long time medical staff when the new footy dept moved in...but I suspect I'm jumping at shadows...

Yesterday that same thought crossed my mind. At the time it was a concern that some highly rated Med staff walked out.

All these sports scientists and anyone else for that matter will be put under the microscope. Why it hadnt been done before now is a mystery.

In case anyone wants to know, that list is a complete one of all our Grand Final losses (1946, 1954, 1958, 1988, 2000), so the scum are the only ones to do that to us more than once (and the 1948 draw). Make of that what you will (if anyone is still reading )

as I recall, Geelong weren't exactly performing in Beemer's time there.

Paul Gardner should move on.

He had five years to get the club paying its debts.

Does he have a job now?

Sad has been.

Bet ya Matty Knights is glad he's not at Bomber land anymore

Bet ya Matty Knights is glad he's not at Bomber land anymore

?? It wouldn't have happened if he was still charge he didn't bring onboard Thompson thus "weapon" thus Dank smell.

Bet ya Matty Knights is glad he's not at Bomber land anymore

yeah, I bet he's just finished his shift at Bunnings thinking Phew, glad I don't have that job anymore

As a matter of fairness, the AFL should be investigating supplement use at Essendon for a period in excess of the next 7 months. Let them play the season with a cloud hanging over them; just as the AFL has done to the MFC.

Let it drag on for a year or two. let them suffer in their jocks.Someone throwns in the EFC every once in awhile to keep them on their toes.

Am I completely paranoid ( it will destroy you) or has there been a more vocal ex-president talking about his ex-club than bell end?

I'm sure a friend of his will let us know the truth..

I think the guy likes to big note himself, clearly doesn't care too much for the club if he's so willing to throw us onto this fire.

Lloyd is shocking replacement for Thomas, he'll I'd even take Acker over him, at least you'd get an honest answer.

Did I say that Cards? Read what I said and don't over analyse. Do I need to put a cute smiley emoticon on it for you to take it in the light manner it was intended?
