This "comeback story" narrative essendon are pushing makes me sick. They are gonna be rolling it out thick when they play the hawks who will have th actual comeback story playing.... roughy returning from cancer. Yuk.

http://m.bbc.com/sport/38261608 Russia should not have been allowed to compete at rio. Sad day for world sport. Of course if they were afl players theyd just be great blokes who are victims of an afl/asada lead conspiracy.

Theyre about as contrite as the kid who gets caught cheating on a test and gets an ice cream as a result.

Cant disagree. It irks me that the club the afl and the media still dont see what essendon did as wrong. "Oh they cant possibly have done it they are great blokes, it was dank he's dodgy" None of them have truely accepted wrongdoing!! Ffs!! Drives me nuts

Makes me sick Hey half your club was banned this year? You finished last as a result? The club you had a lower percentage than is actually [censored]? Here have pick 1 anyway you deserve it

I dont ubderstand why they are getting payouts. They were responsible for what went into their bodies...

Im enjoying the fact that jobe will ask for a higher compensation payout as a result of losing his brownlow. I mean wtf

Jobe, the convicted drug cheat, who earned the endorsements and extra salary as a result of cheating his way to a brownlow.

they should sue for loss of earnings/endorsements

Kyle reimers did.

Saty. The rules are written forr the exact scenario. The reality is however it got into their system they are the ones benefitting. It is why it is totally up to the player to take responsibility. They did not, wilfully or ignorantly. They are guilty. They cheated. The end

They'll squib it and let him keep it - something about him being a great bloke, been unfairly treated yada yada

From memory the afl said that they couldnt directly trace the tb4 from the factory to the chemist to dank to the club so they said there wasnt enough evidence. Didnt get beyond that. CAS went ok we cant trace it the whole way directly but everything else matches with it being tb4

Thats my fault for getting my ducks mixed up

Heard a good laugh on the radio today.... They are investigating appealing yo the european court of human rights Not sure how their human rights have been violated but some lawyer is doing donald duck dives into a room of cash

The only way we will ever know what really happened is when the ACC table their report to parliament. And when that day comes...

I view it in the same way a player who gets a 1 week ban would miss out. You dont re do the votes because they got suspended in round 22

Heres a question. Cotchin and mitchell. Could they sue for lost earnings? Winning a brownlow would surely have a contract bonus for a start not to mention the next contract and sponsorship. Could probably fairly easily be out of pocket half a mil if you say winning a brownlow is worth an extra 100k a year on a new contract....

Sorry, "manifestly unfair" Tweet

Ess statement tonight still says it was an injustice

Offer pick 945 for hibberd. If they dont like it, threaten to take it to court. If they dont like that, take them to court.

Be interested to know what ebert did to cause that reaction

Hahahaha this is great. The blokes lying on his back and throws his whole body backwards but it was a bad tackle. Kid would get 9.5s from the soviet and chinese judges

The one infront of the members when he threw himself backwards was the worst. [censored].
