[Earl Hood 5,789]

If Dill has any balls he will request a re jig of the fixture next week

It's not as if Essendrugs situation is going to change

Sir WYL just asking when did you get your overdue, and much deserved "gong"? People like yourself will no doubt help lift the tone of debate here on Demonland

Welcome to the Aristocrosy Sir WYL. Make the most of it as I believe Tony may be in a spot of bother! I fear we may be facing the rule of the mob come next week.

Well, according to Tony's good mate Kevin Andrews, the best thing for this country is a pairing of Abbott and Gillard

The AFL should advise Essendon boycotting the NAB Challenge will result in a "bringing the game into disrepute" charge with fines and sanctions (draft picks).

If Essendon are out of the picture it's simple, we play Saints and GWS figure something out.

I would rather we play a team on the up (GWS) than the Saints.

[mauriesy 6,815]

Easy. They just provisionally un-suspend Essendon players for 24 hours, then provisionally suspend them again. Why not ... everything else about Essendon and drugs is a joke.

Were already going to WA don't wanna have two interstate games.

[hardtack 10,127]

Who has said we would have to? If we did though it wouldn't concern me too much as traveling and performing is one of the things we need to get better at - after all, teams like Freo, Eagles, Crows etc do it on a regular basis and manage ok.

[Demon 16 176]

Honestly, how are Essendon getting away with this.

They've been holding the AFL to ransom for 2 years on this - and all after they administered their players with [censored] drugs!!!

[rjay 23,936]

Maybe 2 games is enough for us. There has been a push to reduce the preseason games and this might end up working in our favour.

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,288]

Would it be out of the question to play the Saints or GWS the weekend before round 1?

Or as someone mentioned, a triangular series between the 3 clubs on the last weekend of Feb.

maybe, but I'm not sure Roos and Co would be all that happy about having 2 weeks off before round 1?

Funny rjay I was think the same thing.

For God's sack they are practise matches.

Neeld is the development coach, need I say more

But we do so well in the preseason OD

I say that we get on the front foot.

Boycott it on account of not wanting to play against drug cheats.

Couldn't agree more

Given that we're not a particularly good footy team, I would've thought we'd need all the 'practise' we can get?

We also don't need our best players injured before the season starts. Anyway, just saying that maybe 2 full scale games is enough and many have talked about lessening the load.

It could well be to our advantage to have a couple of games then a hit up against a lesser opponent to fine tune.

Would make for an interesting stance, and statement. Might put the cat amongst the kittens....I like it Edited February 8, 2015 by beelzebub

[biggestred 4,337]

Im not sure its going to be too much of a problem really.

The tribunal is due back feb 16 for a couple of days.

Im sure it wont take them a whole month to release their verdict.

Infact im sure we will have it well before the start of the preseason games.

I hate Essendon.
