Is there a way we can be rooting for Roughy and also have the Hawks lose?

Whatever floats your boat. You can even barrack for him if you prefer.

    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

    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.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
