DC I think you are overstating this. In fact AFL and the other two are mutually exclusive.

No sense of humour ILL? Face it we all have sad lives being Melbourne supporters. And you do leave yourself open grammatically.

Why does this not surprise. Little & Hird could not care less about the players. If they cared at all that offer would have been passed on. They are narcissistic hedonists.

Due to the unmitigated disaster called Essendon and the likelihood of their demise, I think this will distract the other clubs from picking on us. The presidents will be so involved in putting the boot into Little that draft assistance to us will not seem so bad. I think we will get it, maybe a first rounder. Yes 2 3 & 4

I think my stance re the Essendon players is softening. I think a 6 month ban in season is OK. However the EFC should cop the full whack. Two years ban from fielding a side in any competition. The coach a lifetime ban. The directors should get a workcover whack. The Doctor, de-registered. There, my softened view for what it is worth.

The EFC statement:- Essendon Football Club is understandably disappointed at todays Federal Court decision. Before deciding the next steps, we will consider the reasons for the final judgement, including whether or not to appeal this decision. In taking these proceedings, our priority has been to protect and vindicate the legal rights and interests of the players. The Club maintains its confidence that, on all the evidence available to us, neither harmful nor banned substances were given to the players during the supplements program of 2012. Out of respect for the competition and the Clubs still competing this season, it is not our intention to provide any further commentary on this matter beyond today’s statement. Edit:- Don't you love the all the evidence available to us line. Could that be because all the damning evidence has been lost or destroyed?

I haven't forgiven Carlton for Ron Barrassi. Earl Spalding, Greg Wells, Brock Mcl etc.

Or was that notorious beak?

Love the headlines on the EFC site. Goodwin departs Dons Pair provide potent partnership about 2 forwards Bomber Shop 25% off Crighton medal contenders Young Dons emerge in defence. Not a word about the most important thing to happen at the club in years. Delusional? you bet.

Hope she took notes. "James, Middleton says you're farked. Lets go back to France" Edit: Spelling

Score update, the merde has hit the ventilator. ASADA 0/ 987 declared Essendon all out failed to score. Edit:= Had a look at the EFC site. No news of judgement. That's funny because the AFL site has it.

Why the long faces boys? Oh that's right you're farked.

Off to the gallows boys.

One of my staff, is not coming back after lunch today, he is an Essundone supprter. He may have Mitch Clarks Disease. Could be a fair bit of it going round.

Thought I'd have a look at bomberbliz just for a laugh. Site currently unavailable. Hahahahahah!

Schadenfreude. Should I feel bad? Hell no!

Bang!

No fairy-tale, just a dream.

Not sure which article, but I would think ASADA are merely showing the court due courtesy. It would be a brave Middleton to stop ASADA from moving forward on evidence of which he has no knowledge. ASADA stated that they had plenty of other evidence. I hear a ticking...... Perhaps all this talk of imminent terrorism is just knowing that the Bombers are about to blow.

How can Middleton stop them from performing their statutory duty?

I don't want to sound like Martin Luther King but - I have a dream. Mitch knows that his foot is stuffed. He asked the MFC who do we hate, they said Collingwood, He said lets set up a scam so that Collingwood think they can get me for stuff all. They trade a player and the AFL gives a priority selection based on the unusual circumstances. We get Harry Who and pick 4 in the draft (after the Frawley compensation) Mitch does a pre season with the Pies and breaks down for good and gets another pay out. How good would that be?

I think many posters are missing the fact that he bagged the club and its leaders for sacking Sanderson. He said it was their position to do it and not the players. I think he actually gave Ricciuto and co a fair slap. He said he was happy there but I wonder. Looked happy to be with Bernie. Edit: Spelling

I read somewhere (sorry) that if it was deemed illegal for ASADA to participate in the interviews ( to gain the AFL's right for an answer/ over the right to remain silent) that they still have the power to demand the AFL provide transcipts of the interviews. In other words, if Middleton say's that ASADA exceeded their rights and the evidence ASADA garnered from those interviews being inadmissible then ASADA can still get the information from the interviews legally. (as if they were not in the room) I would think Middleton would be fully aware of this. So the question of ASADA going beyond their powers may be moot. Either way ASADA have stated that they can reissue show cause notices almost immediately after a judgement. They have kept thir powder dry, I'd expect the Bombers to blow up early next week. Hoofukkingray!

We need to get this conversation Bach on track. I know some of you get Stuch on things and I hate to Telemann what to do. You may have opinions Festing away and you maybe Bach ing up the wrong tree. Don't spit the Lolli or call on your Kohaut to help you out. Sit down have a Beer and a Salomon Bologne and perhap join me to Azopadi. Some Volger Kraft cheese could be served. But I couldn't drive my Carr because I'd be of my Tittl. Edit: That's the end of my Liszt.

That would be Andrew Leon Cello, he was on our liszt and played in our most recent Grand Finale
