James is right of course. Sam Mitchell was naive and idiotic to make the jabbing motion on Saturday. Tisk tisk I guess that makes those Collingwood cheer squad members leaning over the fence and making the same gestures last year in the game against the Bummers naive and idiotic as well. The Collingwood cheer squad is a barometer and a reflection of society. Could they be wrong?

Not Mt Eliza my friend.

Browny on "On the Couch" just showed footage of Essendon, including Mr Morality himself with black arm bands around the upper forearm right where the drip would be inserted.

Browny said that was idiotic and pretty much Mr Morality should pull his drug peddling head right the fuuck in.

Why is everyone against what Mitchell did? EFC deserve everything they get. Serves them right. They rolled the dice and lost.

And its not like it isn't true. It's factual.

Sorry can you give a bit more detail? What footage? Was it from that year of the black ops?

no, it was in reference to the brisbane injection regime.

it was known at the time, and lloyd has just said he 'can't recall' about it on classified.

do they breed lying sociopaths in tullamarine?

Yup just caught it as I flicked past FC. Lloyd is not a good lier let alone talker.

But this made me laugh.

"League operations manager Mark Evans warned players not to repeat the supplement scandal sledge, saying they should consider their own reputations before making another similar gesture.

(Players) have to accept they are displaying themselves publicly and it will be a reflection on them and their clubs, Evans said.

The AFL seem even more concerned about this small gesture than the fact an illegal, systematic drugs program occurred at the bloody club. Pathetic stuff as usual by the AFL.

Their desperate transparency in protecting ONE club for their abhorrent actions will ultimately be their undoing.

So in 2001 Essendon wore arm bands in the location that injections could have taken place and stated after the fact it was in protest to the opposition of the game in which they played but they didn't tell the opposition.

Sounds legit.

Wish I saw that

Hird is such a pathetic little hypocrite. He needs to [censored] off forever.

Well done Browny

There too many i's when it comes to the Hirdians.

I still prefer the y for why are you still here?

She may have 2 i s but certainly doesn't appear to have any eyes, or open ones anyway.

Its good to see some highly respected people (eg Mitchell, Brown) call Hird and the players out for the hypocrites they are.

I recall 14 of the other 17 coaches did not attend an AFL arranged dinner late last year to welcome Hird back.

No love lost with other clubs, clearly.

To top it off they keep losing!
This is sporting theatre at its best!!

I'm not against what Mitchell did. It is a well known fact that Essendon received penalties for governance issues (over injecting players).

I don't see how Mitchell should be looked upon a perpetrator here, he is merely pointing out that Essendon injected - which they did.

Sam Mitchell is an AFL footballer, he has the right to be a little bit annoyed that those around him have resorted to gaining an unfair advantage - through injections.

Mitchell should not have apologised, but in apologising he has saved himself a sh*t storm.

"AFL arranged"? To "welcome" Hird back??? Ye gods.

Well, any respect I had left for the AFL -- wait a sec. *checks to see if there are any dregs of respect left for the AFL -- finds there are none*

Carry on.

Mitchells apology was more along the lines of "kids shouldnt see that"

Not "i hope i didnt upset essendon"

Actually he didn't apologise from what I have seen. He regrets doing it and wouldn't do it again. Subtle difference but no apology unless I have missed something.

Re Mitchell: Nathan Buckley said on Fox 360 last nite "happened on the field, was based on fact, move on!"

He could have said that Mitchell was just "venting" cos he was cheated out of a Brownlow in 2012!

Can't imagine the pressure that'll be on us to beat the flogs if the Saints get over them next week. If we only get one more win for this year, I'd want it to be against the drug cheats.

Starting to enjoy Bucks on 360. He doesn't just waffle on with political mouthwash the way Roosy sometimes does; he calls a spade a spade.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
