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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
