Who the hell is eric mckenzie

Doesnt play for melbourne. Who cares In unrelated matters, i no longer watch games that do not involve the dees. I hate the way they have [censored] the afl. Bring back the rules from 2000

62% left. Sequential, reality based and logical apparently. I like this

the difference is freo are trying to win the flag THIS year. we were trying to win a flag in a couple of years. the goal is still the same

I disagree with her articles during both the tanking and danking sagas. her facts are usually correct yes. it is her vitriol that comes through, her adjectives, that I disagree with. that and the fact that she does like a personal attack after she has presented a fact.

are you talking about brock or fev?

9th is the worst spot to finish. no finals so no shot at a flag worst draft picks possible without a shot at a flag. Richmond supporters are sooooo relieved

Essendon fail their players and their duty of care to their players. $2million fine, 12 month ban for the coach and no finals. Melbourne storm breach the salary cap, lose 2 flags. Go figure. Im disgusted how soft this is by the afl.

Spot on Jaded. Connolly got 12 months for far far less

Corcoran 4 months. Thats garbage. bailey got longer for NOT tanking.

Mfc - free beer. Youll need it.

the AFL need to make a HUGE statement here. they cannot let systematic doping, including the use of multiple types of banned drugs, with the permission of senior officials, go lightly. if they do, it effectively gives every other team the green light to do the same. There is more at stake here than reputations and the Essendon FC. WADA is currently looking at excluding Jamaica from the next Olympics as their testing protocols are not up to standard. DO we really want Australia to be excluded from the Olympics so that Essendon can go free??

or WADA

lets give them all dees jumpers instead!

Hird employed a former liberal party spin doctor back in feb.

exactly, which is why it is disgusting they rang all the parents to find out which one it was, and why it is also disgusting a players parent had to ring a radio station to get her concerns heard (hird?)!

I think its fair to assume the other parents have concerns!

Perhaps they should assume that the rest of the parents feel the same and try and allay those fears in some way/tell them the truth/actually defend them instead of just hird rather than wheeling out tim watson to push some more Hird Reich propoganda.

Cant believe they rang the mothers to find out who it was. Disgusting.

the AFL have released the allegations against Essendon and the Hird Reich. AD clearly stated they were allegations. they have given Essendon time to prepare a response to the commission. AD was also very clear on this. I see no denial of justice here, it seems to me that the AFL are following the process correctly every step of the way. The spin and deflections coming from the Four Aminos are disgraceful. Greg Williams went to court to overturn a ban the tribunal had placed. HE DID THIS AFTER THE HEARING. How can the Hird Reich claim a denial of natural justice before they have responded to the commission?

that's an amazing way of twisting the blame. why cant the afl tell us? WHY did Essendon put the stuff into their players bodies? why did the players allow it?

makes you wonder what he got up to during his playing days.

for those lawyers out there... Lance Hird is suing the AFL for denial of natural justice. I would have thought this is laughable as the rap sheet is just allegations AND he has the right to respond to them to the AFL commission in a few weeks....

Wasnt he that guy who piloted the qantas airbus after the engine blew up? Good man to have on board if he has experiences in avoiding plane crashes, because we basically are one.
