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?)

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
