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.

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
