why would they want to stop something they've been planning for years, this is how Collingwood roll.. They pretend they want to keep a good player, then force an over priced deal through... They will get more than pick 4 for Beams when he's hardly setting the world on fire on field, I can't remember the last time he actually played a decent match? Did he even play this year... They act like their losing Gary Ablett, when he's not even close to Ablett... Pfft...

Must be getting easier to decide, GC or Apocalypse Hill !!

Bomber Thompson brought Dean Robinson and hence Dank to the Essendon Football Club.

Thompson has got away with this. $30,000 is nothing.

We have written evidence that Hird said in an email that "as long as everything is above board...etc..."

Mark Thompson was in phone conversations with Tim Watson for half a year while he was Geelong coach. Yet Wallace was condemned for agreeing to Sydney in the weeks before his departure from the Bulldogs. Wallace was open and up-front with his players and the club. Compare this to Thompson...but the footy world loves his presser humour and thinks he is a better coach than he actually is.

You know what, how far have they actually come since Mathew Knights, remembering the money paid to 2 coaches, supplements, and imports like Goddard. They haven't progressed much at all.

I feel sorry for Hird. Thompson brought those guys in. Even Goodwin is on record as wanting "the good stuff". These guys have been rewarded, yet Hird is forced to carry the can, and apparently is not allowed to defend himself in court.

One rule of one, different for the rest.

And had an association with Charter for years.

But I do agree old Bomba has somehow squeezed out of this besides the fine.

Hird is NOT defending himself in court. He is simply challenging the legality of the ASADA investigation.

This after he welcomed the investigation in to Essendon so it would prove his innocence.

Words can not describe what I really think about this guy.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
