THE BOMBERS' DOPING SAGA - THE FAT LADY SINGS

Hey, over here in Adelaide, there are two clubs that drive you absolutely sick. Port and the Crows. No TV coverage for MFC, no articles in the daily paper, no radio commentary, no nuffin. Loathsome behaviours all of the time from supporters with at least 20 commentators counting every breath of every player in these two sides. They even think that they got a bargain with Watts, Toumpas and the profits from the Lever deal. Yep, hate Essendrug and Carlscum, but these two in proximity are unbearable. 

I absolutely get that. From my occasional forays into Church City, a short 5 minutes of listening to 5AA is enough to harden one against those two clubs forever.

(well .... for a while anyway.)

I can't imagine what a steady diet would do to one's mind.

Something like this, probably:

screamAPa.jpg?w=300&q=55&auto=format&usm

 

However, we must look at the big picture. Provincial difficulties must be risen above and the long range, objective view be held.

And that is, clearly, that a certain few clubs must never be given an inch. Must always be held in contempt if not with outright hatred.

In no particular order:

Carlton, Essendon, Collingwood, for reasons that are too obvious to need writing here.

Hawthorn, Geelong, Sydney also deserve no quarter.

Adelaide, Port Adelaide, as already discussed.

Richmond, for being Richmond.

St K, Footscray. For being contemptible losers, and Footscray even more for winning in '16 and breaking that stereotype. F***** losers.

North, same reason, but without the winning part.

GCS and GWS. "Vlad's folly". One for not winning enough and one for winning too much.

Freo for being anonymous and taking up space.

WCE and Brisbane, for beating us in the past. The f****** b******s.

That's all I can think of for now.

But no true supporter of Aussie Rules can go too far wrong following the above chart of who to hate.

How much hate, you ask, and how to apportion? As a rule of thumb, or when in doubt, remember this: too much is not enough.

GO DEMONS

Posited most appreciably, with sound foundations of logic, perception and that deeper understanding of the things of this world. It bound my thoughts with clearer meaning and for that, I thank you. Kind regards...

The idea that so soon after such a massive scandal that brought the sport into disrepute, threatened to ruin 3 seasons, was found by the head WORLD anti- doping body to have been against the rules of world sport, that [censored] off, frustrated and bored the fans to no end and that may still have a large amount to play out with regard to the health of the players involved and their families long term, (let alone the impact on the integrity of the competition during the period doping players were aloud to play)... the idea that so soon after all of this the AFL would even consider letting Hird have ANY official role within the sport is beyond astounding, the fact it is a coaching position is just beyond stupid! What an immoral farce this league has become.

Have said from day 1 that the AFL is inept, especially with drugs in their sport. 

It seems they like to continually prove me right!

Hiya, Wilbur. Agreed about the bottle fermentation in Cooper's Beer. However, it is three times better if you make it yourself. Cooper's make a ripper series of home brew mixes; have not had a bad one yet. Some are exceptional, such as their APA, Stout and Real Ale.

However, I am probably talking to the converted so forgive me. 

The brews are fine to take to the 'footy' over here - meaning a few bottles slipped into the nearest Foxtel lounge when the Demons are playing on their telecast through Channel 504. Other than that, my home was Melbourne and I must admit, I miss it even after 18 years in Adelaide.

Hell of a drive to get to the footy at the MCG, though...

I assume that is rather tongue-in-cheek. 

If not, I would expect Peter Jackson to shut the idea down quick smart. 

I could not support a team with him at the club.   To me he is no better than the drug dealer on the street selling gear to young people.  They do it for money.  Hird selfishly used players, who were entrusted to his care, as guinea pigs for his own egotistical purposes.  Unforgivable in my book.

Anyway, he doesn't have much to offer - is in the 'great player/average coach' category. 

No thanks!  Keep him away from my club.

For what this is worth. I've recently returned from a trip to the Hilltops/Young/Mudgee wine producing areas of NSW. 

In Mudgee I stayed at a Motel run by an ex WA dude and we had a conversation about AFL footy. ( AFL footy is not big in Mudgee.)

It turned out he is the brother of a certain West Coast Eagle backman who played in the Worsfold era. One of the things he said was that the Whoosh was also called the Chemist. Yes, that was/is his profession.

He then said West Coast players were using drugs in that era. Not all of them, just most of them. He claims it was a well-known 'fact'.

He mentioned the usual suspects, the dead one and those still alive, including a surfing type who played a few games for the Demons in 1996.

He also said drugs were and are rife in the AFL. He said Essendon's biggest problem was they were caught.

For what it's worth...

 

But I am sure that the AFL integrity commission ??? had a good thorough look at it ????

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
