THE ESSENDON 34: ON TRIAL

[monoccular 16,290]

Seriously can't believe they wouldn't live in it for twelve months so they can avoid capital gains tax.

What are they thinking ?!?!!??

Or maybe this is one of the ways they have chosen to repay their debt to society ?

Maybe they don't know any competent lawyers?

That much we know!

This is an excellent case of having a dog and barking yourself.

I suspect they don't want to accept the legal advise because that is admitting you are wrong.

Our nab challenge game against Essendon likely to be cancelled.

So the number of players left at Essendon from the 2012 doping saga is down to 17: Essendon 34 won't play in NAB Challenge

The funny thing is that a number of those players have already been named publicly by Mark Robinson in the Herald Sun so why the big deal about protecting the anonymity of the players?

Great article from caro

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,349]

Throw the club out of this year's first and second rounds of the draft if they boycott the nab challenge.

Punish them harshly for showing disrespect to the league and the 17 other clubs.

[Willmoy1947 3,808]

Just the first nail.......

[Gorgoroth 12,337]

Yep, fine them, take picks off them, run them into the dirt.

Boycott games after afl offers solutions = bringing the game into disrepute, breach of contractual agreements, I'd expect punishments to be fairly harsh

The ones named by Mark Robinson are already in the public domain so not sure why they are trying to protect confidentiality. Another example of the parallel universe they inhabit over at essendrug

Jobe Watson, Dyson Heppell, Michael Hurley, Tom Bellchambers, Jake Melksham, Heath Hocking, Michael Hibberd, Kyle Hardingham, Tayte Pears, Alex Browne, Stewart Crameri, Scott Gumbleton, Ricky Dyson, Sam Lonergan Angus Monfries, Paddy Ryder

It wouldn't be hard to work out the rest,,,,,

[SaberFang 7,141]

How on earth are they not bringing the game into disrepute with this childish and embarrassing behaviour?

Why the hell are other teams constantly forced to suffer due to the illegal decisions made BY ESSENDON, BY HIRD, BY THE PLAYERS?

Farcical. And oh, so typical of the AFL to do absolutely nothing about it. Where's Eddie when you need him? He'd be absolutely ropeable if his team had to miss out on a practice match just because of Essendon's pathetic behaviour.

I say the entire team, and every player participating in the boycott, should be fined the absolute maximum allowed under AFL rules. Exactly the same as if a team boycotted a home and away match.

Is it possible to hate Essendrug more than i already do?

That may not be the worst goal to goal line in the AFL

[CBDees 3,162]

St Kilda are in the same boat and are also wondering who they wil play! Why don't we play them twice as an easy solution?

[beelzebub 22,269]

Funny how low a profile Demetriou is keeping these days

Yes, yes it is possible, just repeat the phrase "2000 grand final" five times . . . . . . there you go, how easy was that!!

Couldn't have planned his exit any better. No doubt he knew exactly what was coming.

he'd be laughing his head off, bub

think the afl board is long overdue for a major rehaul

[beelzebub 22,269]

AFL must uphold provisional suspensions given to Essendon 34 players, approve top-ups for Bombers’ NAB Challenge fixtures

There's much discontent amongst the rest of Australia's sporting world....and rightly so

[deefrag 277]

Right, good, work with it! THAT day was it hot? what could you smell, hear? Reconnect with THAT day . . relive the incidents, a head high charge, a cowardly punch, that feeling of revultion, the horror, the horror it's still lives inside of you . . reconnect with your inner hater. You'll be fine!
