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.

If he is sincere, he really has the potential, now that he has retired, to make a difference, but i cannot see it happening......

Out of love with the game.

Reckons it feels like "his partner cheated on him"

No Jobe it was actually you that cheated and you were caught

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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
