I had a trivia question on the weekend. Name the AFL player that returned their Brownlow? I answered that it has not happened, he still has it. People don't get it, The cheat should be banned from the AFL until he returns his ill gotten gains. He is a drug cheat not a hero.

    his manager kelly said in december "the dog ate it". essendon club said they haven't even discussed it with watson. they all seem to be giving the finger to the afl who in their normal mo seem incapable (or scared) to make any decisions to put an end to the debacle. shades of "maintain the rage", play the martyr

    Beeb I am a pragmatist. My answer was, 'It has not happened but Jobe Watson is reported to have returned his ill gotten Brownlow.'

    I dunno why the hell if youre an essendon apologist youd be bringing it up! Surely youd just zip it and hope everyone forgets about it.

    What a disgrace from the afl

    another puke article by slobbo on watson's downlow

    For Robbo:  Yes it does matter.  The medal is now not just a piece of tin.  It is now a real collectors item simply because of the rarity of its 'provenance'.   And he is still the official winner on the EFC website.   http://www.essendonfc.com.au/player-profile/jobe-watson  For them nothing has changed and the AFL is condoning the lie. 

    Its an insult to the history of the Brownlow and to Mitchell and Crotchin. Jobe must give it back and his name expunged from all records not just an asterisk beside his name.

    Last night I said to a friend I would be surprised if many of the 10 banned players returning at Essendon will get senior games, as most of them were not often in the best 22 in 2015.  Today I saw this:  http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-02-06/no-guarantees-for-returning-bombers-says-worsfold

    Oh my, how the narrative has changed! 

    A few months ago it was 'we can't wait to get them back' implying back on the park playing senior football.  Now its:  "...Worsfold said there would be no guarantees given to the group ahead of the home and away season, with no extra loyalty afforded their way for knocking back rival offers to come back to Essendon after their suspensions".

    I'm surprised to hear Worsfold say that in public.  It is such a blatant contrast to the club's adulation of players showing their loyalty by signing up again.  Clearly loyalty is a one way street!! 

    We will never know what they were told before signing up or if this is an about face.  If the latter well silly players for trusting that club again!

    What an absolute disgrace...I heard McLachlan Junior on radio this morning say that the AFL do not really care but it will be raised and discussed within the next 2 weeks.

    It is so obvious that all involved under the AFL Umbrella just want this to all go away.

    Jab's illegitimate Medal will become a collectors item on ebay if it ever surfaces...

    best way to help it go away is firstly to return the medal then for slobbo et al (including gill the dill) to quit the apologia.......but i don't believe the zealots want it to go away

    Why would one stick a "trinket" worth thousands of dollars in the drawer?

    A bit more info on return of the medal:  "The delivery of the medal was handled by McLachlan, Watson and Watson's father Tim".

    But Gil is still stalling: "...the league CEO added he had "no idea" what the AFL would do with the relinquished Brownlow." There is only one thing to do - Melt it down so that no-one can gain any future commercial value from it.  And Gil should demand Essendon take out the 2012 Brownlow medal from Watson's profile on their website!

    These people are without doubt some of the slimiest creatures to ever be involved in our great game. I reckon its a deflection, and a deal has already been done to hand it back to the convicted drug cheat after the heat dies down.

    When I read the story my first thoughts were exactly that, Jobe will end up with the medal.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
