THE BOMBERS' SWISS ADVENTURE

Two cases in court this week involving Bummers and no significant cross examination getting to the nub of the saga.

Dank should get rolled easily in his defamation case, surely? Can he prove that he had a good reputation to uphold?

Well, given that his barrister has already attempted to define reputation as 'what people say behind your back' I presume the argument is going to be that even someone with a bottom of the ladder reputation can be damaged by newspaper reports.

Our national sporting shame has hit the international media. This report made it into the Swiss press in German - Basler Zeitung

Here's the text auto translated by Google and don't worry if it sounds a bit strange because it fits in with everything else about this saga:-

Quote

"The energizer of the club, which coach James Hird afforded plenty of space, developed an impressive power: Over 1500 injections before they took - or let them attach to the players.There were also 16,500 doses of calves blood agent or 8,000 units of the plant extract. On average, each Essendoner received around the 2012 season almost 40 syringes. None of them complained - none of them doubted these pharmaceutical-round treatment.

Even a majority of caregivers, including Coach Hird to Muntermacher let inject or swallowed pills. In Hird is even documented that his body was allergic. But all they trusted Dean Robinson and Stephen Thanks, who knew each other from a common time for other sports clubs. Thanks said after the Causa was busted, loosely related to the staff: 'Yes, we are a bit over the allowed list of the World Anti-Doping Agency gone, but there were indeed no players involved.'"

 

 

 

So it's now "no thanks danks " :rolleyes:

If there's anyone out there with the knowledge and ability to do a proper translation of that gibberish from German, I would really appreciate it.

It probably says something that Google Translate is the only source of appreciation for Dank's contribution to football.

Actually this gibberish sounds a lot like a Dank interview.

 

Love to hear what the DrugsLord's lawyers have to say as German looks like the perfect language them. Long may these Scumbags suffer!

This is totally unfair.

No way is she that ugly.

Another Journo to add to the list of journos with no real understanding of what is going on.

The penalty imposed on Essendon is crap

It would be funny if it wasn't so blatantly wrong and apologetic. 

Not sure anymore what the Murdoch Press is trying to prove in this now. Their lies and distortions are going to make zero difference to the outcomes, unless they think they somehow can influence the damages claims coming down the pipeline against Hird, Little, Essendon and the AFL.

TheY can't of course, but seemingly it doesn't stop the sicophants on the staff of the Murdoch press from doing their obsequious numbers anyway.

If nothing else, an interesting study in physiology. Someone will write the thesis someday.

WJ - I can't open the link, or find and relevant story. 

If you PM me the full link I may be able to get it translated by a human not a machine.

The corporate world understands what Hird has done and that he is on the nose, so to speak.   EFC are trying to sell naming rights to James Hird Academy:

"The James Hird Academy wishes to announce the availability of major and individual player sponsorship opportunities for season 2015/16, reads the pitch, which was sent out just before Christmas....This is a fantastic opportunity to promote your product, service or corporation in conjunction with the academy."

Needless to say, there hasn't been a thundering herd of takers for Hird. This is despite the fact here are some legendary surnames on the academy list. Hird has three sons in the program, and names such as Neagle, Daniher, O'Donnell and Alessio abound...Maybe that explains why the academy recently started using the name "JHA".

Using just JHA, the golden boy's intitials...another piece of EFC trickery! 

They should rename the Academy to someone more worthy:  Daniher, Watson etc 

While I'm at it the AFL should remove him from the Hall of Fame.

Watson ? Lol oh the father of that drug cheater still clinging to his ill won Charlie ?

The father of the drug cheater who appears to believe the interests and future of the club are of paramount importance and far outweigh the welfare and well being of his own son and potential grandchildren. Oh well, you make your choices just as Jab and his team mates did and you live with them. I would be protecting / supporting my offspring to the hilt.

They may have more luck if they change the academies name to Drugs R Us. If nothing else it would be a more accurate depiction of their club's culture.

And of course Golden Boy still has a Charile too.

Had he just recovered from his debilitating foot injury when he won?  Was one of the drug conspirators at the club at that time?

Needs to be renamed the Downlow Medal if this keeps up.

They might get a chemist warehouse type organisation on board that way!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
