Rucci: We cant point the finger at others over integrity

You've done it once you can do it again Whatever you've done don't' try to explain It's a fine, fine line between pleasure and pain

"In terms of speculation about deals, about what supplements were taken, speculation is one thing but the facts are another thing," Hird said. "Our players right now have not tested positive for one performance-enhancing drug, I think that's important for people to know. "The NRL and Cronulla have their issues like we have our issues and we'll let them handle those. "The Essendon Football Club invited ASADA and the AFL to come in and investigate our club and we've been fully co-operative with that investigation." Sooooo many laughs

i wouldnt even call it "Certain information". id call it deliberate mis-interpretation. "the players CAN be given no punishment if it was found there was no fault" ie in the case of that athlete who was given EPO on the operating table. whilst unconcious. they signed wavers with the drugs listed on it!

this would refer to a player in surgery receiving a drug, not a player being duped into taking something they thought was something else

There was never a deal with ASADA, McLachlan insists

Gil reckons there never was an agreement. another thing supporting essendon shot to bits

i dont think ASADA even invesigated him beyond "possible use of cream"

all of them. TV rights.

So the afl and essendon and the aflpa are upset that asada reneged on an agreement not to punish the players. why would they give a [censored] if they hadnt done anything wrong?

That is the best

Never forget after last years loss when they all ran over to our race to give it to our players as they came off. They were feral that night and if someone dropped a bomb on a packed windy hill id probably just stand and applaud.

to be fair i was about as gracious in victory as an american relay team.

The only thing better than winning is beating a bunch of bloody drug cheats

what's "unintentional intent"?

reading bomberblitz is just pornography

Brendan Schwab must be [censored] joking. In the states they are getting 3 week bans for using steroids. uhh no

Mark Thompson is one of the people to blame, says Tony Shaw Tony Shaw talks sense!

was at my local pub for the last quarter. lost my [censored] celebrated like id won the world cup yelled "[censored] off you drug cheats" at the top of my voice it was amazing.

"@GerardWhateley: McDevitt says case against players won't collapse if Federal Court rules joint investigation unlawful" This is the best. In other words, do what you like essendon we will still ping you.

Wasnt there a rule that went something along the lines of if 2 or more players get bans then the whole team is banned?

there was a particular bomber who had stress fractures in his foot who missed about 12 months in about 2004.......i think his name was herd or heard. dont remember really

was beautiful thismorning to hear essendon supporters talk about how theyd lost interest in the club and how theres no way hirdy can come back i think they will lose a lot of supporters over this one

there was some talk of their bans being 6 months - if that were the case they were going to try and serve them starting october and not actually miss any football. (which would have been a disgrace)
