Can I join the above lovefest Stuie? There's nothing more joyous and likely to unite than another's misfortune. Especially if it Essendon. (Well maybe Carlscum)

Apparently the chap at the centre is now at another AFL Club. Of course he does have legitimate expertise in sports science so that is no surprise. If events at Essendon in 2012 were untoward in an WADA/ASADA contravening way then he is finished. Would not necesarily follow that he had caused same events to unfold at that club.

I welcome my nemesis evil trinity of RR, Biff, and BBO, with open arms and a heart full of hate for the Essendon Football Club.

As of this historic and joyous day, I'm resetting my disdain for you guys and gladly kissing your metaphorical foreheads. We've blown up the credit card buildings and all gone back to 0.

I love youse all.

Weapon disarmed.

Ok Stuie but let's just take it slowly. You were a bit too quick to offer body contact for my liking. Anyway, time for some entertainment on Bomberblitz.

On Bomberblitz,some have raised the possibility of the essendon fc being banned from the 2013 season altogether. Although I think it's highly unlikely, what would become of their recently recruited players and others not implicated? Could the AFL hold a mini draft of Essendon listed players to redistribute them to the other clubs?

Caro... yawn. To be expected. This is the blessed period when bottom feeders like her thrive, a story has "broken" but no facts are yet clear, so she can just make it up to suit her purposes, which is to have the most outrageous and attention-seeking page filling crap possible.

Take comfort in the fact that the number of people who take her and her type seriously is small and still shrinking.

Just lifted the above straight of Bblitz. I wonder if the Essendon simpleminds were saying the same thing when Kero was sticking it to us?

At least we'll never have to hear them talk absolute bollocks about 'The Weapon'. God that sh## got on my nerves.

There are more than 1200 users on BomberBlitz right now and another 800+ guests. Gonna be a long night over there. Good times

Shouldn't that be "Gaye" times...I Hird it on the Grapeviney!

I love the way CW has denigrated the titles of the "Sports Scientists" at Essendon to "Phys Eders"...

The one thing that could untie has, hatred of the Bombers.

Was that intentional, ie the suggestion that you are in fact tied, or is it a typo or auto spell?

When she was playing they were probably known as "Phys Eders".

haha not intentional... me fail english, that's unpossible...

Not sure if this has been posted on here yet but..

The
Geelong Football Club can confirm that an individual involved with the
Essendon Football Club fitness program during the period currently under
investigation was also previously employed by the Geelong Football
Club.

Whilst we have no evidence or information that this
individual acted in an improper manner during his employment at the
Geelong Football Club, we are ready to cooperate fully with the
investigation.

The Club has no further comment to make at this time.

"see the bombers shoot up, up"

Have these articles been pulled by the AFL?

The first one was, then they retitled it and put it back up, now I'm not sure... It looks like the AFL site may have crashed altogether!

Wonder of this could potentially put questions over Watsons charlie

The AFL site has crashed!!! (or is on a "come down", might be better terminology given the circumstances)

Can only assume it's either from this huge story, or "The Weapons" Chuck Norris-like powers.

Have these articles been pulled by the AFL?

I suspect that the afl.com.au site is down. Haven't been able to read the stories about the Weapon's apparent demise but it looks like there's an element of damage control there ATM.

The bloke I feel really sorry for is James Hird. Saw him on the Fox Sports News bulletin and he looked absolutely shattered. I hope he stays away from Caro's article.

Might need some uppers....

I don't want any drug scandals in footy, I just want to watch the best game in the world and know that everyone has an opportunity to win and everyone is trying to win.

But I have to admit that I am secretly glad that this has happened to the Bummers. They were a team I had very little feeling about until the 2000 GF, and since then I have a deep, cold hatred of them. The only thing better than seeing Eddie McGuire's face after a losing GF was seeing Hird's after a losing GF. One of my favourite footy moments is Matty Whelan crunching Hird - it was a little bit of revenge. If I had to choose a c;ub for a scandal it would be the Bummers.

I'm with you in that I would prefer not to see any 'scandals' like this in the sport, and I feel guilty for enjoying this knowing what it feels like

However, in a perverse way it makes me feel better that a so-called power club can cop it too, perhaps we are not the whipping boys it feels like we are. Also I know a ton of cocky, ball-busting essendon supporters to whom I owe a lot of ball-busting

My first thought on this issue was 'Where is the journalist troll (Caro)' surely she is not still on holidays!!!

I wonder if Fan (bagdad what ever his name is) and others are still re-joicing her expertise?

Maybe Barrett will be the new messiah now he found the story
