THE ESSENDON 34: ON TRIAL

Featured Replies

7. employ a charismatic, golden haired, relative of god as a coach

relative?

 

This was an investment property that Taaaaarnia renovated. Not their family home.....

I said it was his Toorak house, not his family home. It is his Toorak house, but also happens to be an investment which he is selling which was revealed to be helping him fund his folly.

I thought essendon were effectively banned until they are cleared so is it unusual that they are allowed to train officially?

 

Fair call M, i thought they were banned from training once infraction notices went out.

But that is not the case obviously...

think the afl make the rules up on the run, wyl

relative?

well i always thought the holy trinity were related, but i'm not religous, dr john :lol:

Very sensitive D2014....

To be fair, allowing provisionally suspended players to train is fair enough.

Youd be very upset if you werent allowed to train and then were found innocent.

Agreed, but once found guilty the time spent training shouldn't count toward the suspension time served (I'm not saying that you specifically are stating it should btw :)


Really cannot believe how Hird still Still and I say again STILL says "Its about the players"

Wrong James, it is and has always ALWAYS been all about you and your huge ego! Your zero understanding and self righteous justifications now cloud what was, an excellent playing career and is now, perhaps almost forgotten. Whatever you have done in a previous playing life, whatever qualifications you think give you brevity and credibility, whatever "Good Will" you built up with the AFL and others is now eroding into the abyss!

And do you know what James, there is one person to blame for the maelstrom you have put your club through!

Do you know who that is James???

Errr..... Jack Watts?

None of this would have happened if we drafted Ollie wines.

I see now that Mr. Armstrong has out done himself.

Had his girlfriend say she was driving when he hit parked cars.

Now been found out.

This guy is a very poor example of the human race .

If he told me it was daytime I would go out and check.

Sound like anyone we know?

BBO?

I don't think you can be found innocent.

You may be not guilty but this may be a long way from being found innocent.

You may be guilty as hell but with insufficient evidence found not guilty, if you know what I mean.

Ok but my point still stands

In other news Hird sets up sausage sizzle outside Bunnings to raise funds for his High Court appeal, whilst Tania is checking out the Dandenong property market. Pride is foolish, and damn costly lol!

Dandenong? Isn't that the Toorak part of Doveton?

Dandenong? Isn't that the Toorak part of Doveton?

more the Nairobi end i'd have said !! :rolleyes:

Apparently the rest of the essendon list are going to "stand in solidarity" and boycott the nab cup if the suspensions arent lifted.

They dont get it do they?


Boycott the NAB cup, miss out because they are provisionally suspended its all the same result.

Extremely disappointing that league officials haven't clarified the situation to the public and have instead allowed the media to run wild.

If untainted players boycott the NAB cup it may put them in breach of their contracts. May be a contractual problem for Essendon's obligation to the AFL too.

i suppose essendon could just claim they can't field a fully fit team and concede the game

 

Stevo carrying on that the players don't want to play because it might hurt the chances of backdated suspensions haha these guys are confident they are innocent aren't they?

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
