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

Featured Replies

Catching up on the week's reading and found this gem from Patrick Smith who's keeping up the attack on Tird:-Essendon owes Hird zilch but Bomber deserves whole lot better

A friend who has been 100% pro hird thru all this, last night tells me, that the only option for the club is to get rid of hird! while he stays the club's going nowhere

 

Friday...the decision comes down from the court.

Well Essendon have hijacked the finals again...

Lose and the bombers will just appeal.

Win and asada will issue show cause notices anyway

On holidays big fella???

How are the future leaders of the country treating you?

And how can we as a club celebrate the ineptness of the bombers.?

Is that the case? or is the cause related to a breach in the contract with the club conducting non ethical behaviour in general or directly to that person? it would be interesting to know if Zaharakis would be subject to the clause as it would be difficult for Ryder to walk under that clause with Essendon not yet guilty of drug cheating officially.

Failure of duty of care, I believe is the technicality.

Should be an easy one to win for the players.

What was injected? EFC- We don't know. We have no records.

Where is the duty of care? Non existent

Gulity = Player can walk.

IMO

Shocking that it isn't that simple. If it was surely Workcover would have ripped them a new one by now.

Either we're missing a piece of the puzzle or there's some silly buggers being played by some powerful people to keep the club out of the poo.

Amazing isn't it.

From the outside it is obvious that they are low life cheating barstards (EFC)

The power of power!

If you have money & contacts and are prepared to take everyone/thing to court, you can get away with many things.

I am hoping that the Weapon stands by his claim, does not negotiate and takes them to the cleaners in open court. My guess is that they (EFC) will pay just to shut him up.

I still think workcover will provide the biggest stick in the end. (For that new one)

 

Assuming the court sees in favour of ASADA on friday, how long till the players have to respond to the "show cause" notice and/or be given penalties?

Apologies if this is mentioned in one of the 300 prior pages ;)


D Day is almost upon them !

You're not finally starting to believe OD ?? :)

Did not say what the decision either way would be bb.

I still have this gut feeling that the players will be hit with a wet tram ticket.

And it has got stronger since the Cronulla decision.

Middleton has no history of pussyfooting. He had nothing to do with the Sharks result either.

It s a quick (-ish ) result really :)

my essendon supporting mates seem to think that this will be their great day of victory - the day its all over and they get off.

they wont be impressed on monday when asada re-issue show cause notices


If Middleton was to do this, it could mean ASADA would have to re-issue the show-cause notices using other evidence. But ASADA has said it could compel the AFL to hand over its transcripts of the interviews under its legislative powers.

Essendon chairman Paul Little last month questioned whether that would be the right move for ASADA to make should the transcripts be banned, and called on the federal government to provide a circuit breaker.

"The view of our legal team was that if the process was deemed unlawful, they couldn't just simply start again within 24 hours," he said.

if essendon win this case and asada are told to stop investigating it will be the biggest disgrace.


I have heard that Brisbane BBQ's are great.

OD may wish to comment :)

That little bit about costs is intriguing.

To us lay people it could be anything, you obviously spy some morsel of yumminess ?

 

OD may wish to comment :)

funny enough bb I had one at my brothers last night.

very nice affair.

I can only guess that the the Lions would put on a good show for young Patty.

Brother knew nothing re Paddy but did say what happens if he is suspended do the Lions get left holding the bag?

I said yes.

  • 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.
