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.

    So Carro could gloat.

    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.

    I loved on 360 last night as Robbo was babbling crud, Whately was trying not to laugh at him, he had a ghost of a smile the whole time.

    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!

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
