And what track record was that?? Mills was the first time he was suspended

This time next year brayshaws teeth and Jaw will be fine. Gaff will still be a piece of [censored].

Gaff cannot play again this year. 6 games may not be enough, imagine he came back in for a grand final. Disgusting hit from a [censored] bloke. Do not want at melb

The prospect of this has me extremely excited. I may need to sit down. Will chuck $$ at the club to make this happen

Aren't we talking about west coast though? Everyone else seems about right

Id love to see that table broken down further with free kicks home and away. +900 is disgusting (esp when the wce fans carry on about it being the opposite away from home)

Nfi why essendon would want to bring this all up. Demetriou is just gonna say "i knew it was them and i rang them to stop them getting in [censored]" And theyll just say the doping program was huge and they should have been rubbed out as a club for 2 years so really we saved your asses and everyone will laugh and essendon

I think the big difference with the tanking thing is that it was pretty much encouraged within the rules at the time. Everyone knew we were terrible and everyone knew there was a certain/max number of games we could win. We all thought we'd be better off with an extra high draft pick too.

Essendon fans. It takes a bad start to the year and a loss to carlton to make them have a meltdown, not a systematic doping regime.... Says everything really

Thanks!!

Im anti tim Watson.

Well the drug saga came to light as a result of an investigation into organised crime. Which it would seem bomber is also mixed up in. Doesnt seem like too much of a leap to me. Not to mention that clearly his thinking on the matter of substances going into the body is obviously totally skewed.

Yeah na just play the damn song when they run through the banner

Where did you get this?

Its almost like they should have some kind of substitution system whereby a team isnt disadvantaged when someone is injured

No one ever mentions we got lever and a 2nd round pick. Effectively it was lever for a pick and a downgrade. 2x first roundpicks is ridiculous. 1 and a downgrade is fine ffs

Felt sorry for lever yesterday. Every time he got the ball he'd have 3 blokes coming at him and he would look up and see only hawks to kick to. Quite simply we did not work hard enough off the ball. We'd switch and the hawkswould take off, meanwhile our mids would be having a cup of tea on the original wing. The guy needs someone to kick to but had no options.

Our limitations are between the ears. Nowhere else

Crows had that won before they stepped onto the park. Never seen a team so visibly soft at the contest. Pies were on fire too though. Doubt they could play much better but adelaide allowed them to play so well

I think theyll do us by about 3 goals. We will bomb it in long and they will counter with way too much efficiency

I agree. I also have essendon mates saying how disgusting bancroft gate is...

Heres an essay topic for you The Bancroft ball tampering saga is a darker day for australian sport than essendons drug scandal. Discuss.

The afl are still protecting themselves by protecting essendon. Because NO ONE wants the full story to get out.

The question is - are they dodgy because they test lots and get lots of positives Or Are they less dodgy because they test lots and find more drug cheats than a sport like, say, soccer which has less than token testing and very few positive tests as a result?

Yes that sounds familiar doesnt it
