What a beautiful headline...

 

What's the bet on Slobbo calling in sick to 360 all week next week?

nervous breakdown at the bottom of a keg of Johnnie !!!

All smiles before the verdict,. Can only imagine the conversation after the verdict. A bit like the Mayor of Hiroshima....

You will not see it in the HUN jnr.

However it is going to be interesting to see how they attempt to paint the EFC in a good light.

What is the chance of " Hird says we have only begun the fight "


One of my staff, is not coming back after lunch today, he is an Essundone supprter. He may have Mitch Clarks Disease. Could be a fair bit of it going round.

Off to the gallows boys.

HEART BROKEN.hahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahhaahhaahahhahahahahhahhahhhahahhha

 

There's still the possibility of wet lettuce.

I don't even care about this, the players are victims, it was Hird and his insufferable arrogance, that I was concerned about.

I heard slobbo robbo say a while ago if this decision goes against essendon, there is absolutely no way hird can coach...watch him squirm out of that one.

prediction: massive fall out between Hird and Little and the rrest of the board, both wil be gone within a week

Why the long faces boys?

Oh that's right you're farked.


my twitter feed is just people retweeting journos from the time about how far essendon were in front.

its amazing.

Awkward. RT "@heraldsunmick: Play resumes on Day 3 in Melbourne Federal Court, room 6k. Essendon 3-654 (declared). ASADA 78 & 6-45."

etc etc

Jacques Merde last seen heading to airport. Shame about all those planes getting grounded !!!

I'd be amazed if Hird, Little or any of the board at the time all of this taking place would be there for much longer.

I'd go as far to say as I don't even know if Thompson would be able to continue as coach.

Best thing from here that I could see for the EFC is someone comes in to take charge, clear the decks of anyone associated with this whole affair (barring the players) and show the AFL that they are prepared to work with them and the other clubs. Offering any form of defiance from this and fighting further will not achieve anything!

Score update, the merde has hit the ventilator.

ASADA 0/ 987 declared Essendon all out failed to score.

Edit:= Had a look at the EFC site. No news of judgement. That's funny because the AFL site has it.

The players wanting out must really be p!ssed off by Essendon delaying things by this fatuous case they brought. There is now surely no time for penalties to be imposed on players and accepted before the trade and drafting period. So other clubs have no information when considering trades or whatever as to when the player could actually next play. A seller of 10 foot barge poles will be making a fortune.

On the off chance that Port win the GF, would Monfries have to give back his medal if he's guilty?

This is exactly why they should not have been allowed to compete in the 2014 Final Series.

Oh well at least they were dealt with.

They won't make it for a decade or more now!!

:)

If you don't already follow Titus O'Reily on Twitter I recommend you do now. Plenty of gold today and he is a long-suffering Melbourne supporter like many of us.

who was the pelican who was tweeting the case like a cricket score and had Dons well in front?? Name and shame time

Bomber will be EFC coach in 2015, IMO. Can't see how Hird can be involved in the club anymore.

Would have cost the Golden Boy a pretty penny.

Would love to see the look on the face of his missus.

Correct, and if the players start leaving, there will be possibly be a case for afl assistance in coming years, time to start mending fences

One of the HUN cheer squad but I cannot remember his name.

  • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
