Well, sounds like it might be a good time to replace Hibberd with Melksham.

Fortunately, we have a coach who has empathy in a situation like this, having been through similar issues.

    Fair point.

    Well the CAS hearing found that Ess players lied to drug tester forms and kept info from their doctor.ย  Is anyone really surprised he would withhold info/lie to the AFL.

    Some people never learn.

    De Goey got 3 weeks for lying to the his coach...I wonder what sanctions Melksham will get from the club.ย  Probably nothing.ย  But I know which is more serious.ย

    Another stupid decision by someone involved with Essendon Football Club. I am not longer surprised. Annoyed we got lumped with the likes of Melksham, Goodwin and Hibberd.

    A minor issue.

    Charlie Dixon has a glass of red wine the night before a game and he's front page of the Herald Sun and suspended by his club. ย The AFL would happily pepperspray theย likes of Jack Crisp for a $10 multi. ย Others convulse in anger over Hogan having a dart on a weekend off, as if he's some sort of nicotine addict. ย Fans lamenting drafting Melksham over a trivial betting indiscretion involving his account (sure, they alsoย think he can't play footy).

    Meanwhile, Ben Cousins is a mess and never tested positive for illegal drug use and first time offenders are protected from public vilification. ย 

    Somewhere, there's an imbalance.

    Wonder what he was betting on...

    Getting dropped?

    it was from last year whilst under the "essendon" suspension

    they were under a non contact suspension and not playing, so even if he had bet on afl (which they said he didn't) it hard to see what the fuss is

    Aside from Gary Moorcroft, can anyone recall a more disliked import than Melksham?

    Tom Gillies doesn't count as he was just handicapped at football.

    I really couldn't give a rats.

    He can have a winnie, a tinnie whilst filling out the quaddie for all i care.

    If hes up for playing 120 of decent footy im fine.

    So far ...very much ho-hum

    Hopefully compatriot Michael fares better.

    The Milkshake curdled a tad.

    Reading the story, he wasn't betting but someone else was using his account. Who that was isn't disclosed.ย 

    Sounds like the dog ate my homework!

    Cant say he has had a good start. Some of it out of his control, but what he has done now on and off the field has been average to say the least. Some of his work against Freo last week was cringeworthy. Would much rather have Hibbo in.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

      ๏ปฟAย steamyย Springfieldย evening set the stage for a blockbusterย top-fourย clash between two AFLW heavyweights.ย Brisbane, the bookiesโ€™ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing inโ€”the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season.ย It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6โ€“4 edge.
