Thought I may as well bump this

I spend way too much time on Demonland but this thread and the prospect of very nasty things happening to the Essendon Football Club is the only one offering any joy at the moment.

not alone :unsure:

Between us being totally [censored] for 9 years and essendon getting away with injecting their players with whatever they want, [censored] pre game entertainment and music/ads so loud i can't talk to my mates (which is really the main attraction of footy these days) im pretty much done with footy...

Sadly you are not alone

I am much the same, Essendon may be the biggest drug cheats in the game but they still come to play. We are the biggest softcocks in the history of the game. Which is more shameful?

Drugs for sure! Nothing is more shameful than cheating!

Myth Busters

After many hour of intensive research down at the local, I had proven beyond any reasonable doubt that anyone can type the word "Thymomodulin" into a spreadsheet without actually have the substance in their possession.

Next week we will be investigating how a factory that only produces Thymosin beta-4 in China can turn this substance into Thymomodulin.

Drugs for sure! Nothing is more shameful than cheating!

Supporting uber softcocks is infinitely more shameful and painful than gloating over others mistakes. We can feel it. Their supporters feel no shame.

That's because their supporters have no shame, and no ability to see past the smokescreen that has been put up around them.

I really do not understand the angst shown by some of the Essendon fans and Club in general with the case going to appeal at CAS. To my mind, no matter what the outcome of the AFL tribunal, it was always going to get there as the court of last appeal.

The AFL and therefore Essendon signed up to the WADA rules and guidelines and have to abide by them.

The time taken and the public debate have cemented 95% of the footballing public into their positions and understanding of the situation. the determination by CAS will be final but, whichever way it goes there are going to be some annoyed people.

Personally, I am comfortably satisfied that the players were injected with an illegal PED. I will, however accept CAS's judgment.


So if Tania, the prominent lawyer, hahahahahaha, thinks it is unconstitutional, should we expect to see a challenge to the high court?

It's the vibe!

Drugs for sure! Nothing is more shameful than cheating!

Does that include tanking?

It's the vibe!

Reverand I am in need of your inside knowledge.

Can we get within 5 goals of the dogs at the weekend

Lane's article raised a point that has hardly been mentioned before in this whole sordid tale. The rights of EssUndone's opponents to be able to fairly compete against possibly enhanced opposition.

The Bummer fans cry "unfair". Did they cry "unfair" when Oz swimmers couldn't keep up with their Chinese competitors. I bet they did. When our gymnasts fell short of those from the Soviet Bloc?? I bet they did.

Anyone seen a piece of paper? it's labeled Thymomodulin and has some player names on it, a guy i know named James seems to think it will somehow clear his name?

A sane mind could never understand an insane mind.

Just be thankful you're not one of them, CHF.

But we didn't tank Old Dee ;)

I also don't count the type of tanking we did as cheating. Still a bloody deplorable time of the clubs history.

Not sure how you come to that conclusion Chris

Cheating is cheating tanking is just another version

You are however correct it was deplorable and we are still wearing the problems of that era.

Sentiments similar to Essendon supporters I know.

The difference with us is that the afls own rules were encouraging that behaviour!

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
