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?

well i'm not tired of it. the gift that just keeps on giving

some psychology student out there looking for a phd topic will no doubt grab it with glee


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?)

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
