Tim Watson accuses Essendon rivals of hypocrisy over supplements saga Tim Watson joins the deluded self righteous denial mongers. Firstly, he blames the AFL and ASADA for it dragging out....pleeese! (We want our day in court so the truth can come out - then lets do everything we can so it can't) Secondly, ASADA have dragged their feet and still haven't produced the evidence to the players (They don't have to - if they do, they will do it after Essendon & Hird confirm that they will not appeal the Middleton judgement) The facts are, the EFC set out to cheat, they instituted a program with no checks or balances kept no records, ordered and paid for prohibited substances that they kept on the premises, injected players with unknown substances (thousands of injections) sacked key staff for allowing it to happen, insist that nothing untoward did happen, refuse to face the facts, and live in cloud cuckoo land. Who the F do these pricks think they are kidding. Bring on the Tassie Bombers.

From Crikey - Essendon's wings melt as ASADA brings it crashing back to earth

Redundant? Like his job next year.

Shame he doesn't learn from it.

The whining other clubs are much more concerned about the EFC than us.

Sadly. mostly succeeding.

As I said earlier, a no is easy on Brownlow day, I feel good.

My understanding is that Brownlow night is an AGM for the AFL. This happens every year.

We were not found guilty of tanking. Did we tank? Of course we did. Was the penalty fair? Yes. Should other clubs also have copped it? Yes What should we do about it? Nothing, move on. We were not weak we were pragmatic. You are absolutely right when you say, you have to know which battles to choose. We did, EFC didn't. Remember what came out of our penalties. We received a fine, we received a hand out from the AFL, coaches and administrators were penalised, we received Paul Roos and Peter Jackson. We took it for the greater good. EFC !!!!! what a bunch of narcissistic fools. Don't poke the bear!

The game is bigger than Essendon. If they brought about their own destruction, so be it. The game will continue. The EFC supporters will also move on like Fitzroy supporters had to. If EFC folds another club will be formed, maybe the Tassie Bombers, and they play half their home games in Tassie. The colours could be black with a red sash. But all the EFC cronies must be banished and forever forbidden from becoming involved with the new club.

If it were Melbourne the members would have thrown out the corrupt board and accepted the punishment and moved on. This would have been dealt with last year.

I feel good about this. To release a statement saying no pp would have been easy last night. But as other clubs don't want us to get a pp perhaps the AFL put off the announcement so as not to spoil Brownlow night.

It is possible that the whole delaying tactic has been to provide time for the directors to liquidate assets and move them offshore. We may have fallen for the obfuscation techniques employed by Little & co.

Until what has been confirmed? And what right do you have to stop others from talking shlt. Including me.

The board should be handing out incontinence nappies. And a special head mounted job for Jacques Merde.

That looks like a 3 way sphincter to me. Edit:- Should that be? smells like. PS:- Hird and Little are the inner and outer sphincters and the players are just the poor shlts in the middle.

Beeb as you so rightly put it smacky smacky time. What a shame it is that they have no records of what was taken and when. Makes it very hard to say we didn't take that stuff even if we did order it, pay for it and have it sitting in the fridge. It is simply a matter of time before the house of cards crumbles. As Sir Walter Scott once said, "O, what a tangled web we weave when we first practice to deceive" They certainly have been hoist by ones own petard. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of cheats.

I'll give it a try. The players are distancing themselves from the club. This is an effort to be able to do a deal with ASADA. The words said by Watson merely add to the smoke and mirrors we have already seen. But I do see a shift away from the club.

No surprise there.

Lemmings spring to mind. Not that lemmings actually do anything usual, except in folklore.

The more I hear about this club the more gobsmacked I become. Are they OTFM's? Ryder should walk. Take them to court, tell the truth and sue the FWits

That's definitive. I love it when people go out on a limb. Sometimes.

Selective editing DC. Wonderful prefix manipulation. However your point is well made. Never let it be said that pedantry does not exist on demonland. And to the thumb typers- no it does not involve children.

Good call pants. Other than Jimmy and Lyon and Stretch my memory has failed me again. 1992 we finished 11th I think. Our current side is really crap. Edit: 1991 we finished 5th- 1992 11th

Trolling? Reminds me of the good ol days, back in 1991 we had a crap team, Carlton meantime had Kernahan, Bradley, Williams, Sylvani, Brown, Gleeson, Madden etc etc. We could not afford to pay Earl Spalding what he wanted so he moved to Carlton , they had plenty of money and space in the cap! Sound familiar?
