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

Featured Replies

This is a recording and nothing can go wron...go wron...go wron...go wrong

Give it 48 hrs chump.

 

Just listening to SEN and they are saying about suppliments taken in pre season 2012

This explains why they were so good in the first half of the season then dropped off in the 2nd half

They were the same in 2011 too, up and about early - I recall the NAB Cup clash at Etihad. Not that there's anything wrong with that.....?

Both seasons resulted in a gradual increase in injury list (soft tissue).

Anyway, I call for investigator commandos to interview everyone and anyone - twice, in some cases three times. Interrogate, intimidate are the current tactics as I understand.

Time to unleash Caroline to find out what is going on. And let her give a piece of her mind. Fair is fair in the land of AFL....apparently.

 

Age Football writer Waroline Cilson is about to release the following:

"Essendon have been inadvertently caught up in the scandalous ongoing Melbourne tanking scandal - Cameron Schwab is said to have, according to reliable sources, secretly encouraged the novice Bomber coach to force his players to experiment with body building drugs. In further breaking news Schwab has also been implicated, according to other reliable sources, in masterminding the shocking European Football (Soccer) match fixing scandal, based on his well known success in systematic match fixing at the MFC. Further investigations are underway on suspicion that he may also be part of the Elvis mystery, and the Kennedy assassination, according to sources."


Wasn't it one of Thompson's first priorities (when he re-joined EFC) to get the players to add up to 10kg as quickly as possible?

Anyone got their fumble count for the second half of the year vs first?

Surely it's as relevant to this investigation as it was to ours.

Give it 48 hrs chump.

Regardless of whether he goes or stays, it doesn't alter the fact that you have been like a broken record on this particular subject.

Interesting article...

"Meanwhile, Thompson says the Bombers need to get back in the gym over summer if they want to match reigning AFL premiers Geelong next season...

Thompson and senior coach James Hird drove the Bombers through a rigorous pre-season training regime last summer and Thompson says the players can expect more gruelling sessions in the build-up to the 2012 season.

"We will do that again this year. We'll keep pushing until we get them big and strong and fit enough to play complete games of footy against the best teams," Thompson said on Friday.

"More volume, more intensity, more weights, more education, more skills, more everything.""

Yeah, I know, most clubs will say that sort of stuff every year, I'm just being a [censored]!

It just shows what a criminal genius CS truly is given that he was just a twinkle in his old mans eye when JFK copped it.

Care to show me where I have been repeatedly commenting in support of the CEO? I cannot even recall one single post.

makes one think about the cats......................

These guys have a history of lies, in fact it was so bad that Patrick Smith gave away a lifetime of support in protest. I wouldn't think you trust anything that comes from the mouths of Robson, Hird, Thompson or Evans.


I love the "2012 snapshot" in the Hun, "A shock loss to straggler Melbourne in Round 10 lit the fuse for Essendon’s dramatic demise in the second half of the season. The Dons were the first side to lose to the Dees under Mark Neeld".

The papers are really trying hard to create filler material!

Like our investigation, I'd like to see an "innocent until proven guilty" tact. Still I'm happy to see the Bombers getting the s-storm poured on them.

Interesting that Watson on SEN this morning announced that the AFL would be announcing our penalties today or tomorrow; smoke screen maybe?

He was right about there being a presser. It wasn't the AFL's but it was at AFL house. Perhaps he got his wires crossed or hird (sic) some whispers, put 1 and 1 together, mixed in an assumption or two and came up with the wrong call.

The query above about Jobe being stripped of his brownlow is an intersting one. Not sure if it was serious but you'd have to think if he was guilty of using banned substances (even if he was confident he wasn't at the time) he would have to be stripped of it. Can't imagine TW will be so jocular tomorrow.

any way you look at it this is bad news for the AFL and Essendon.

Its almost hypocrytical to be commenting on this so early as a MFC member, but the implications that preformance enhancing drugs has on the intergrity of the AFL are much greater than whether or not a cr@p side deliberatly took advantage of their down years to maximise their draft rewards.

Will be interesting to see if they drag this one out. If the 2012 Brownlow medalist is implicated it gets very interesting

Put that in your pipe and smoke it Tim Watson, you f#ckin smug muppet!

Bomberblitz is worth a look if you want a laugh. Exhibit A:

Can they take our first round draft pick away from us after we have used it?

Yes they can.

Which is why the club should have listened when the supporters were screaming out for us to trade our first round pick for a gun midfielder and use our second round pick on Daniher. If we had done that there would be nothing the AFL could do, but now they can take Daniher off us.

"Robinson was hired to build bulk and power to compete with league leaders.

Robinson joined Essendon last pre-season on the recommendation of coach James Hird's right-hand man Mark Thompson, who worked with him in Geelong's premiership years."

Just saying...

oh god this is funny. i hate their arrogant supporters with a passion. couldnt have happened to a nicer club. i hope they start the season -24 premiership points and with no chance of finals.

What I'm going to say is completely unfounded and biased, but I believe he didn't know. He seems to me to be an ethical kind of guy. Just my opinion.

Sorry..hes the head coach. I cant buy into the idea he was oblivious to what was going on with his herd !! ^_^

 

Essendon have been suspended from wooden spoon betting market.

but weight, there's more !!

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
