Annoyed about the timing -- we really need them to lose against Adelaide. Now they have an extra motivation to cause an upset. :mad:

You think his teammates like him?

He was the captain during the whole drug saga, and his 'leadership' was a disgrace.

Good riddance.

    I was immediately struck by the hypocrisy reading today that Tim Watson was all over protecting players' health in the debate over concussions: where was he in the debate about players' health throughout the EssenDrug saga?

    Just like the AFL exec. Going hard on the easy targets and looking the other way the rest of the time.

    Could be an admin role in Jobby's future! AFL football ops manager, after an apprenticeship as personal barista to Gil.

    Gee we are all so sanctimonious about a person who stuck to his beliefs and wore the penalty to his detriment.

    Leave him be and reflect on his football. He has been a bigger credit to the game than many of his harshest critics.

    His beliefs ? His lies, his bullshlt.

    He's taken his penalty, as if he had a choice. 

    Where's his admissions ? Guy's a drugcheat and a fraud.

    I have always been suprised that Jab didn't stand up for his players back in 2012 during those first 12-15 weeks of the season. 

    As Captain i am sure he was briefed as to what was happening, people keep saying Jab knew nothing of what was going on...Great Captain. 

    You had  Players who were almost twice the size in the legs for half a season and nobody asked questions...

    I take Jobe at his word when he says "he feels like his wife cheated on him". And have sympathy for his plight, loss and disenchantment. As someone who's (ex)wife did cheat on, sometime you can "know" but refuse to take it on. 

    Time to move on. 

    Good luck outside footy Jobe!

    With the emphasis on outside footy.

    He was the captain, leader of a club that attempted to cheat the system, and he either

    (i) knew exactly what was going on and failed to lead in his teammates' interest, or

    (ii) should have questioned, in the interests of his fellow players' health, why they all grew suddenly bigger, stronger and then later got soft tissue injuries like never before, whilst using 'unknown substances' injected in secret locations.

    Not a leader; not a victim (unless of his own delusion).

    Hird's "good bloke" genes must be something powerful to overcome landing the AFL in its biggest scandal in its history.

    game in disrepute
    bees d*ck from an entire team being suspended
    swathe of sackings and resignations
    fines galore
    possibility of future health issues

    ... stacked up against:

    good bloke

    rest of the world sporting community will be puzzled if not outraged

    the afl never wanted wada/asada oversight and only accepted it under political and financial gov pressure

    they are still (unofficially) unaccepting and behaving like a petulant child

    SEN were all over the today - saying that they hope that Hird won't get booed when he gets up to present the meal, as it would deflate the day.  

    They also said that he maybe should be welcomed back into the footy media FCS!!  

    I guess Carey is there, and which is worse.....acceding to your whole team being drug guinea pigs in an uncontrolled, unregulated clinical trial, or glassing women?

    Well, I WILL boo him then cheer the winner of the award.

    He remains totally and unashamedly unrepentant.

    I'm all for Hird presenting the Norm Smith medal given he is next in line to award the medal.  Time to let it go people.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
