I'm glad we can all talk about this here in a civil manner.

I'm not here looking for sympathy.

Hird has to go.

Dank should be locked up.

and yet he remains ( JAH )

and seems more slippery than an eel does Dank.

You'll know this only too well Ash , your club's buggered until at least the former occurs.

Still having hung around us for so long you'll be used to the notion of pain !!

 

Great posts above!

Big sorries Ash, we are all "supporters" only the colours change!!

Oops! More bad news Ash, looks like the players are going with the 'Spike' McViegh defence!

I have a lot of sympathy for the supporters, a little sympathy for the players, particularly the young, naive ones. I have none whatsoever for Dank, Hird, Dr Reid and any board members who knew what was going on, who I believe deserve life bans.

I'd like to see the players receive 11 match(not weeks)bans- break the banned players into two groups- group one serves their suspension in the first half of the season and group two in the second half.

As for the club, I don't think they should or will toss them out of the league, but I do think a just penalty would be:

$10 million fine

Play the 2015 season for no points.

Be excluded from the first and second round of the draft for two seasons.
 

Can't be bothered reading back to see if this has been mentioned, or if it's been mentioned in the general media...

I heard it be said that Bomber Thompson resigned from the coaches association about 2 weeks ago and has no intention of rejoining, costs about $5,000p/a. So he may not coach again, as all coaches are apparently required to be members of the CA. From what I understand, this also distances him from the AFL and the requirement to pay the fine imposed upon him by the AFL. They can't force him to pay. Bomber has significant business interests outside football and has no need to coach for a living. He is pizzed off by the AFL fine and does not want to pay it on principle. He is also pizzed that Hird hasn't been removed and is washing his hands of it all. This makes it hard for the AFL force him to pay, as their 'rules' regularly do not stand up in court. Obviously ASADA rulings are a different matter, but the fine comes from the AFL.

Seems the day may have cometh.

According to some reports Show Cause Notices may be re-issued today.

stay tuned

this has some possible info

34 Dons to see evidence from ASADA

It appears I have woke to the smell of NEGLIGENCE claims in the air.

Oh this brings back memories of my university days when I studied a few law units.

Lets see 34 players x Loss or Earnings must equal a minimum 5 million dollar out of court settlement payment. Plus another 2 to 3 million dollar legal fees.

Dam I think the boys at Windy Pill could afford to pay such low amount, after all they could always sell their 40 million dollar of property assets.

Another story on how the AFL has picked on poor old MessyDrugs!

So the afl will decide if guilty and punishments.

I guess asada is already preparing to go to court to get their punishments increased

Eddie would never allow it, impersonating a Colonwood supporter is a crime in itself.

Yes, why is it that the Beagle Boys, Gyro Gearloose and (if memory serves), Uncle Scrooge never appeared in the Disney cartoons?

Hahaha Spot on!!

They were the Best.

Warner Bros cartoons ruled...

The head of the AFLPA has been reported in the age as saying the players are like workers who were exposed to asbestos by their employer.

If we're lucky EFC will leave the country just like James Hardie.

 

FRESH show cause notices have been issued against 34 former and current Essendon players.

The amended notices — complete with 60 pages of evidence tailored for each player surrounding the alleged use of the banned peptide Thymosin beta-4 — were issued by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority on Friday afternoon.

The evidence includes claims the peptide was sourced from a Shanghai factory and administed to Essendon players.

The 34 players have 10 days to respond before ASADA presents its evidence to the Anti-Doping Rule Violation Panel.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    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.
