Undergoing some life changes, first new profile logo.

Plus signature icons gone. Apparently those massive signature icons clogged up mobile version users. They are gone. Sorry.

Go back about 10 pages to see this:-

Well....am surprised some media hound , without such allegiances lol ( read , other agendas) hasnt took to this like a bone :rolleyes:
 

I can't find the author of this piece

But i am almost 100% sure it wasn't penned by Rohan Conolly....

I would be surprised if it was 'SWYL', he's nearly been as big a Hird/Essendon yes man as the 'Molly Robertson' over at the Hun.

I like Rohan but I think he has shown blind loyalty to the bombers on this issue.

I would have thought that as it is appearing on a page headed Comment, it is probably an editorial opinion piece... in which case, the Chief Sports Editor (whoever that is) may have penned it?

People who Want it to go away obviously want the entire afl and all sportsmen in this country on the juice.

Or else they know they are guilty but refuse to say the words.....

Fonzie.....i was wr......wr....wr.....wrong!!

Humorous rant by Ealesy over at Bombertalk in relation to The Age editorial.

What is causing the tainting of the AFL? Essendon, James Hird and the players sitting back and respecting the process, barely commenting on the saga unless absolutely required and when commenting, doing so in a respectful and polite manner despite not receiving anything of the sort in return? Or the likes of Caroline Wilson, Tim Lane, Jake Naill, and Samantha Lane bleating and crying and sooking and demanding and acting like tantruming 3-year-olds who want to see this matter only resolved in a manner acceptable to them.

Geez, have I been getting it wrong? Paragons of virtue, that mob from Tulla.

The Fonz was Cool as opposed to Essendon the club and it's players who are . . (fill here with your most foul 'sailor's adjectives)!

And yet both jumped the shark.

Hope you washed your hands afterwards.

I dropped by a couple of times, but it's just too disturbing.

In the Fonz's case TRUE! Nobody tells me that cage was empty!!

So apparently every single essendon player voted not to play the NAB cup according to paul chapman. But he also says it wasnt a boycott. Hahahaahha

In other words they were told by the afl to play.

And then they had the gall to turn around and say they were alwaysgoing to play etc etc.

They lie about everything!

Must be something in the water at Tulla! Chappie was ok with the Cats now he's just another assclown!

All AFL players are lectured to and listen to whatever BS the club sticks on a whiteboard. When a 33 yr old premiership player recites propaganda from his new club, which Chappy has just done it indicates to me how the young kids (and their parents) swallowed the cr@p about the injections.

It just shows how hard they try to do their job. It shows to me what a disgrace that those officers of EFC who aremost guilty will be exonerated and those just trying be a team member will get flogged.

 

Former Brumby and Wallaby Clyde Rathbone has some strong views on illicit drugs policy outside of the current laws of the land.

He does make some good points re the big picture, but in sport athletes trade away some of their personal freedoms when they sign the contract for big bucks (or the opportunity for same) in so doing they are bound by the rules of the day. Harsh or even draconian they may be but the rules are well known to players and all they need do is abide by them! How hard can that be?

Illicit drugs are totally different to performance enhancing drugs.

One is so you have a good night out (although damaging in many ways, including your health)

The other is so you have a good list (eh hirdy?)

  • 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.
