  1. Ok they made some early denouncements. WHAT HAVE THEY DONE ABOUT IT? What actual actions have the AFLPA taken? Its is now years after the events, and other than some lip flap they have done stuff all. Edit:- By comparison, what happens in any other workplace? What about a building site? The workers would be on strike in a heartbeat , and the site closed.
  2. Cannot open the link. On the AFLPA site I found a media release containing most of the points mentioned http://aflagents.com.au/news/post/afl_players_ceo_matt_finnis_-_media_statement Dated 21st August 2013 That is fourteen months ago! Where are they, would any other union wait years to demand reparation from an employer? Would they?
  3. Sorry I take umbrage at the use of phrases like "the get go" when we have a perfectly apt word "beginning". Yes the AFLPA made early noises about the EFC, however in the past 6 months they only seem to complain about the AFL and ASADA. So when I hear them complaining about players undertaking a healthy activity (training) I question the current silence about the wantonly grossly negligent behavior of the EFC towards its players. Perhaps some perspective is required.
  4. It beggars belief the priorities of the AFLPA. They rail against training a week early and accept uncontrolled substance experimentation. If that was my union i'd be looking for a new union.
  5. Fixture by drip feed. Just release the fixture.
  6. 50 years ago we didn't need to look back and if we did it was all good. But if we don't learn from our mistakes we are bound to repeat them.
  7. Like the Bulldogs?

  9. Essendon players, crucifixion or pardon.
  10. Is that a typo? Shouldn't it read? Mitch Robinson - Delisted FW
  11. Just send an email to PJ. There is a typo in the thank you letter from the club. Las Angeles! My question is, does this make me anal?
  12. Ben's legs are better than I would have imagined.
  13. "To feel envy is human, to savor schadenfreude is diabolic."1 And yet I delight in EFC's mire. 1 Arthur Schopenhauer
  14. Saty or troll? Why the change of name? No previous names in profile. Edit: Saty last posted 16th Sept 2014
  15. If they made anchors I'd say do yourself a favour and don't use any rope.
  16. I know how to double the resale value of a Lada. Put in $5 unleaded.
  17. Have to learn new AFL speak. In the future Essendon means Bye.
  18. This Charter guy is a class act. Its surely is a case of whatever it takes. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/key-witness-in-essendon-case-shane-charter-on-drug-charges-20141027-11cs1r.html
  19. And Charter was Hirds personal fitness advisor. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/clients-ranged-from-strippers-to-millionaires-to-james-hird-20130419-2i5m1.html
