Chris, you always have good posts and never troll but that comment needs a bit more info :rolleyes:

Curiousty is greatly piqued!

I left a hint the other day in the Saga continues threat thread.

Trying to work out how to say it without actually saying it. Got the info from a mate and it is his mates job on the line if it is not meant to come out.

Barrett has the same relationship with the AFL that Robbo has with Hird, and it doesn't stop at providing information.

McDevitt from ASADA was angered by Hird’s repeated debasing of the joint ASADA and AFL investigation into the program that ran at Windy Hill in 2012.

He said the departed coach needed to accept responsibility.

“He has repeatedly referred to this as the ASADA scandal and did again today. Don’t blame ASADA for doing its job. Blame him and others for not doing theirs,” McDevitt said.

This is not the ASADA scandal. It is the Essendon scandal and will go down in history as such.”

McDevitt is a legend

The contrast in todays 2 main papers is astounding

The Herald Sun employees should all be sent away on a one way ticket

It is nothing more than an Essendrug Fanzine

McDevitt and Co will strike the biggest blow

Deluded to the end: HS byline "I'm a good coach and proud of my record".

On that basis he will surely recommend Neald to follow him.

And.....to my family etc I am truly sorry for (expecting from anyone other than psychopath 'what I have put you through') what you have had to endure.

No word of contrition - all said with absolute absence of insight, like the true psychopath he has shown himself to be

Had to laugh at Slobbo's article today where he said James was going to be sacked after the EFC B&F....

He and others from the club pilloried Caroline Wilson over her article that said the same thing....

Their head is so far up the club they can't see the sunshine....

Last night? Was this a special or something? I think I remember watching Footy Classified on Monday night.

yes it was a special episode for the Hird sacking

Jake Niall's efforts in The Age are special;

"I've been able to come up with a full five players who are definitely good. If I put them in a row I can call them a 'spine'. Essendon are going to be great!"

For me, all his pathetic effort did was remind me of the desperate Carlton supporters a decade ago insisting that they had a spine ready to build a team around.

A spine that included Whitnall and Livingston, if I recall correctly.

Two, ah acquaintances of mine, both heavily involved in professional sport have had some interactions with the given subject!

According to them,( and they have had professional dealings and spoken to many famous sportsmen and women.)

Our friend, has got the greatest ego, by far, of any professional sportsman/women they had ever met!

So Carro could gloat.

and why not :)

Hypothetical:

A large European club, lets say Bayern Munich, decides it needs an edge on its competition.

The coach organises people to run the program.

Those people bring in all the drugs on the quiet and run them through a chemist so it looks legit.

They ask the players to sign consent forms.

The club has heaps of money so it can just lawyer up if anyone tries to investigate.

How do the lawmakers get around this?

To make the individual players responsible for what goes into their body.

Obviously the club and players should be punished in this scenario.

It is the exact reason the laws were written this way.

Essendon has obviously done exactly this and all and sundry should be given maximum penalties

What WADA fears is exactly what you have outlined and that is why they appealed the non-decision of the AFL tribunal.

"We didn't know"

"We lost the records"

"The sports scientist went rogue"

"The players were duped"

"Ha ha ha-- I mean, this has gone on long enough!!!"

James had the singular belief that he was right.

Very,very similar to Lance Armstrong.

Hubris.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
