I read that without glasses and thought it read "Only other Demonlanders I've met in prison are Jaded, Fifty5, Baghdad Bob. Sounds more like Collingwood supporters to me!

If that is the case it should be against a side that does not have Etihad as home ground.

A case of swings and roundabouts.

To all the personal attackers, ease up. Not that I am a mod. I should mind my business but I do get sick of personal attacks ruining good discussion and stuie you are capable of good discussion.

Please stuie try a less confrontational method of argument, you have an almost unique ability to rub people the wrong way. Perhaps you could forget the poster and focus on the argument.

Why does it have to be either or?

Ex Dons player seeks answers on 2012 program in court Essendon's coy supplements answer is labelled silly in court Still available.

Somewhat a lottery.

Munga, Yes as a 16yo he may have committed rape. I think he has other personal issues as well, but apparently working through them.

Surely withholding information that could be detrimental to one or both parties to a contract would breach a negative information disclosure clause. I assume that player contract would include some form of disclosure clause. Failure to disclose possible negative information should be grounds for breach of contract. I imagine one question asked would be along the lines of. Is there anything that has not been disclosed that could possibly cause problems now & in the future? Examples include but not limited to undisclosed injuries, police charges or pending investigations, illegal activities, drug use recreational and or performance enhancing? This would be after extensive due diligence and background checking. I have no legal training so may be totally wrong here. (Door open - kick me now)

Essendon do have a precedent to work on... a movie scene.

Well TD you are to be congratulated on your dedication. I suspect you make the pilgrimage to the MCG. I have a much shorter trip of about 450km round trip and I avoid Etihad. For me it's the G or the TV.

So as not to confuse him with Big Bob Johnson. Vale Tassie.

Very Clarke & Dawe Not related but funny.

The Essendon Football Club wanted to know what substances former rookie player Hal Hunter believed he had been injected with during the club's 2012 supplements program, a court has heard. Barrister Arthur Moses, SC, representing Hunter, told the Supreme Court on Thursday that the club's request was "silly" given they were the ones responsible for administering the program. . . . Mr Moses said Hunter, a contracted player with the Bombers from December 2011 before being delisted in September 2013, did not know what was exactly in the substances injected into him and "it's a basic human right to know what was put in your system".

Are they for real?

Careful others may get jealous.

He was 16 at the time of the alleged offences. Is said to have had issues and working through them. Huge upside but maybe too much risk. A big no if guilty.

No exaggeration here. Why must you belittle others? When you talk footy you make sense.

Had you been here longer I would have launched a tirade of vitriol at you. But as a newbie I say well said Atholwebb. Your day will come.

I don't mind the arguments but the name calling and belittling goes too far. One may have done it occasionally. One gets a rush of blood and shoots off a post that one shouldn't. Argumentum ad hominem is to be avoided- stuie.

Roughhead? Leigh Mathews, Gary Ablett.....

And on next year we have Port - Bulldogs and Saints in the NAB cup. http://www.afl.com.au/fixture/nab-challenge

I don't care who we pick as long as they are A graders.

Love that avatar - great work.
