and it's certainly not the squad that he thought he was going to have at his disposal.

 

my query would be about the top-up players; what happens if the bombers unearth a star? do they get to keep him when the 12 come back in 2017, or do they go back into the pool of available 

They would go back in to the pool, presumably. Probably as delisted free agents? Essendon certainly shouldn't get any rights over them.

Wouldn't it be bloody typical if Essendon unearthed a star out of their topups?

It sucks we get them in r2 because for the first few weeks they will be angry and motivated. Half way through the year they will be losing motivation. 

Gosh though 12 months. I didn't see that coming. But its sort of funny in a way. Dank is going on about the outcome being a joke. Well you refused to testify and help the players. 

Turd still wont accept responsibility. Guess what u arrogant loser you have wrecked that club. I hope in 10 years time the players arent dealing with side effects from this. For anyone interetsing Turd is going to be on radio sunday night and I hitnk on abc24.  ABC to show live, exclusive 50-minute interview with James Hird at 7.40pm AEDT Sunday

On the h/sun website they have published some transcripts. Jake asked Dank about a drip because he hadnt had one this week. “We’ll do it tomorrow.’’ Response to Dank when told he had forgotten his shot. Jobe Watson. Seriously were they just having a revolving door down there. 

I like Jobe but he cannot keep his brownlow. How much will it hurt them to see Jobe lose it and be given to ,Mitchell. I dont think Mitchell will want to accept it. If an Olympic athlete is found guilty of substance use then they would lose there medal. And I did feel for Tim Watson tonight on 7 because he was talking as a father to one of those players. 

As for Paul Marsh. I get he has to defend them but dont say we believe the players have done nothing wrong. At least some of the smart ones said no to the program but its hard to defend them. And don't say let the players grieve. Yes they have lost there job for 12 mths but no one died. I mean if my boss came to me tomorrow and said we will start this injection program I would have a ton of questions to ask and id refuse. 

Essendon fans dont blame the AFL. They didnt start this. I wonder if Demetriou is sitting back having a quiet drink. 

anyway the thing is now this will dominated the news. I deliberately didnt listen to any radio today or watch the news well except the sport. You also know its big when AFL360 is on and Footy Classified is back for a special as well. Will tune in and listen to Damo give it to the club.

Gill confirmed that the AFL will not be taking further action against the club and that means that if they finished last then they get pick 1. Not right but I am not surprised.

Gutless Gill.  

I pity the poor bugger who is the #1 pick this year, going to a tainted cheating club.  I also pity whomever they picked up this year - forgot his name for now - that skinny guy who should spend a year or so building up his body but who will now be thrown in the deep end.

Hirdy must be so upset as WADA lodge its appeal on the last possible day.

The EFC came so close to getting away with it.

Today got to hurt them to the core!

I actually think it will be easier for him next year

Zero expectations.

Ever loss is accounted for by " we was robbed WADA did us in".

If they pull of a couple of wins he looks good achieving them with a seconds side.

Just next year? Would have thought 2-3 years.

In order to keep another dees supporter alive please do not hold your breath

I seem to think, OD, that was your standard response when I and others were suggesting infraction notices would be issued against players, then WADA would appeal against the AFL Tribunal decision, then CAS would find against them. In all instances, I, and others like BB, WJ, Ted Fidge, and Chris were proven to be correct, In my case in the face of quite vitriolic criticism by certain on here both through posts, and more particularly through quite personally abusive emails (you know who you are - not you OD: your contributions have been sceptical, always polite and often very droll).

Can I suggest you at least acknowledge we know what we are talking about.

Do you think Hird (not Doc Reid, which I'm surprised about) and or others in positions of power at Ess at the time will get penalised further? And if yes who by? 

I do believe Hird should be banned for life from this.

    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
