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

Were they his exact words?

yep like mjt said. i can't find any link to it on 7's site which is annoying though

I'm small and petty but yyyeeeesssss

Ha ha spot on cards I'm with ya.

 

I never really gave a stuff about opposition supporters before, but after witnessing the way that trailer trash conducted themselves last week I hope their dragged to hell and back.

Please.

Please.

Be true.


I've copped it the last two days at work from a Essendon supporter, all I said was "the dish ain't cold yet"

Seems like it may have been placed in the fridge!

It is disgusting the way Demonlanders are wishing ill on Essendon and its players. They are just ordinary blokes playing the game they love and making a quid. You can’t blame them for medical and sports science mismanagement which has compromised the integrity of the entire club. What a travesty if a fine young man was divested of his “Brownlow” just because of drug issues.

Don't worry just joking. I hate Essendrug more than any other club. I wish them all the worst. IF THERE IS A GOD, he will let this drug scandal destroy them totally. The image of Jab handing back the Downlow is almost too sweet to contemplate. There supporters are the worst pigs god ever put breath into ( note. two of my brothers are Essendrug members). Why can't a Jumbo crash land on that training facility?

 

Supposedly, every drug they took was consulted with ASADA and WADA... If this were true, then why are they being investigated.

Why is the AFL drafting a contingency plan when/if found guilty of injecting.

They are without a doubt in trouble, I just home the findings come in soon. I would hate the guilty verdict to com in at seasons end.

Oh thank god, my fingers were trembling about to unleash on you

I NEED them to suffer

It was reported a while ago in the press that the place where they were injecting was under surveillance at the time. Does anyone think that the authorities didn't know what was going on?

What happens to Mitchell/Cotchin tickets?

See the bombers shoot up, up and lose the premiership race.

As a young boy growing up in a small country town barracking for the Demons in the wonderfull era of the 80's, I was surrounded by other kids that loved Essendung and their plethora of honkey players. When the Dees (and they did a lot!) lose they would let me know that my team were crap even when we didn't play against the clowns ..... This is still the case now, it may seem!!!!!!!! BUT I am awaiting the chance so that when they ARE found out to be substance abusers... The shreaking of my laughter will rupture their ear drums. Oh the joy.... I will wait...


Anyone at Essendon who over ruled their long time Doc when he raised concerns about the injectionfest is up for a lengthy ban. I wonder who that might have been.

Takes melb off page 1 me thinks

Explosive allegations, dr reid being shut out medical calls , hird taking stuff that was banned? , players taking not banned stuff but not approved stuff and may be introuble under the catch all clause. Ziggys report will be eagerly awaited to see about essendons internal prractices or lack .


im trying to clear something up in my head so bear with me for a second.

the catch all clause.

basically every drug starts as illegal. a new drug is classed as illegal.

at a point in time either ASADA/WADA verifies the drug as acceptable or another body (ie a medical body) approves the use of the drug as medicine (for example, the anti inflammatory i sometimes have to take for asthma, prednisolone would be acceptable for someone who has asthma under ASADA but not for someone who doesnt).

this is where the catch all clause comes in - they cant possibly allow the newest drug that no one has heard of to be legal when its NOT CLASSIFIED SAFE FOR HUMANS YET - so therefore it by default has to be illegal.

ooops essendon, ooops.

Is anyone else going blue from holding their breath? I'm still worried we have some blokes who did the same crap. However does anyone remember when Hird came back after a year off and looked like the Incredible Hulk?

Anyway at least we get the 4pts back or are they just not awarded?

 

These blokes on SEN are making me feel sick. They are defending Essendon, and being so gentle on them, it is disgusting. If this was Melbourne, the drilling that Melbourne would be receiving in unfathomable.

Why does the media HATE Melbourne so much? I do not get it, what have Melbourne done that has hurt the media that much?

You have to feel for the players. They were duped and will probably have to pay the consequences and because of the tough requirements of ASADA, it could mean their livelihoods.

If Essendon is sanctioned by the AFL over this, I want no premiership points for last week's disgraceful effort. Even if the Bomber players had administered substances that weren't legal last year, we've done nothing to earn any points. The very thought is repugnant.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
