it really is a comedy show. robbo just...talks, without really saying anything.

At the very least John Worsfold will have to earn his money next year 

not really. he can comfortably lose every game next year without blame. he won't get much joy though

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 players?

Don't think Robbo is Gill's #1 fan... Given him a few death stares

Think that's his cataracts

Seriously, Robbo is slurred and almost incoherent. Wonder why?

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. 

Ralphy is putting up a few names on twitter to recruit. Crowley he suggests and also ask James Kelly if he wants to come out of retirement.

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!

 

Jab say good bye to the Charlie!

Victory for anti-doping

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.

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.

We could be 2-0 and on top of the ladder by the end of round 2 after we [censored] the Dons by 100 points!!
