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.

Its all Watts fault... told to do it by Wellman as well. !! :unsure:


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?
post_snapback.gif


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 !!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
