I've already been on the front foot and convinced one of my best mates not to buy his Dons membership and come to the MFC games with me this year.

I just hope I can properly convert him if the season goes well. :)
 

Lyon to Lloyd: "do you feel differently about the club now than you did before?"

 

Lloyd: "no"

 

crazy 


at least one essendon supporter gets it

12

A most interesting day in sport, we all should be cheering drug users got caught but a % feels they have been maligned badly, the % need to learn how to read, or read the details or look beyond red and black. Seems a good and fair verdict to me. Cop it on the chin whiners don't do well in Aus.
Jockeys when the outed by the Stewards don't receive payment, seems odd and paly that these guys are going to be paid.
Since 1943 by having relations in Essendon and a frequent visitor to the nearby Aerodrome
I have been a Essendon supporter(Three I was and one of the few things remembered) and still wonder WHY.WHY
But Essendon will return one day that's the way of things so lets get on with it so I have a chance to see it please.
Ah yes Jobe give it back and be well remembered. 
Hangerons should just shutup for a month or two...Support the firefighters till winter...

Lyon said the WADA might not be best for team sports.

Team sports sign up to the WADA code include:

Basketball (FIBA)

Soccer (FIFA)

Handball

Hockey

Ice Hockey

Rowing

Rugby

Sailing

Volleyball etc etc etc etc all appear to be team sports let alone how many other team sports signed to the code

 

I think Essendon got off lightly!
They moved Fitzroy to Brisbane for filling syringes with chocolate and Dulce de leche and injecting their gelato. 
 

The Syberian Bombers has a nice ring to it.

A couple of pre-seasons of below altitude training in the Gulag should have them back on track.

Had dinner with an Essendon staff member tonight.

Unsurprisingly the playing list has been given two days off & were hitting the grog hard tonight.

Those inside the club actually were expecting a good result and were floored by the 12 month penalty.

It all depends on the location and vigor of the application Ethan.

Enough vigor to take out an eye if off target. Crows feet is the preferred location I've been told.

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.

Gill said there will be no (further) action by the AFL.

 

But Hird will forever be condemned by the court of public opinion, and will surely never have any rôle in any AFL activity again.   Were he to appear at any footy event he would be roundly booed by the vast majority, many Essendon fans included - it would make Adam Goodes feel universally loved by comparison.

Maybe Syrian would be a better option?

Wowee they were surprised?! Who has advised them for so long and how have they not lobbied for Aust in trade agreements? Sell ice to Eskimos by the sounds of it.

Hell have the next 10 months off....

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

Everything John Worsfold and Essendon touch will be under intense scrutiny for years ahead.  Scrutiny has not been nearly so intense in the past. It will be most interesting to observe just what he can achieve from the residue of his playing list this year, and those who choose to return in 2017, in this environment.

That's the thing. Better value was to be had for the pick. What now...something 2ndrate as compared. Brilliant positioning !!!

Bb you've  been pretty spot on with this saga but this quote is a little silly.

There is zero guarentee any player picked at pick 23 would have been ready for afl in 2016.

 

Do i need to mention our draftiing history haha. .. 

It is a wasted yr no doubt but it gives a rookie a chance and we have a senisor recruite in 2017 which could be handy with no first rd pick.

As i said there is no guarentee pick 23 would have played in 2016... ur statement is a little over the top dramatic 

 

And im not attacking u pesonally. The whole melksham debate is over the top imo. Thats all

No different to countries at the Olympics that have separate 'teams' for Swimming, Running, Gymnastics etc.

All those have coaches, doctors and support staff specific to each.

I do believe the appeal is strong In that part of the world. Gill might think, now is the time to strike.

Whately asking hard and well thought out questions.

Robbo asking questions that are all in documents that Gil keeps shutting him down on...

Don't know why I bothered watching that  rubbish....

Here is the judgement again for those who haven't seen it ...

Go to page 12 of the document for WADA's submission  - here's a few notable points  ...

  • Mr Dank has a history of use of TB-4 in athlete doping programs.
  • In 2012, the players attended a meeting with Mr Dank at which they signed forms consenting to the administration of four substances, including a specific regimen of 'Thymosin' injections, which matched a prescribed regimen of TB-4 described in an email between Mr Charter and Mr Dank.
  • An analysis of urine samples collected from the players in 2012 also confirmed that the players were injected with TB-4.
  • The players have therefore committed anti-doping rule violations.

Lots of bomber fans running with the 'wada code not set up for teams' line. Wada they talking about, honestly...

 

Trying to equate it to knowing what's in a flu shot is shocking too; if a gp gave me an std rather than a flu shot I'd sue the living pants off them - which is what you'd expect will happen to the bombers shortly.

" I can't believe the players hid anything from Reid".

If one was to know Reid one would possibly find that very hard to believe as well

Anyone know who does the monitoring of suspended players and where does the money come from if the AFL is going to molly coddle the Bombers?

Is it out of the new TV Rights contract or do Collingwood just pay for it?

  • 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?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
