Bates? Trenners gets off?

Well done Colin. Here is hoping for some periods success in the future at MFC to reward you for all of your hard work.

Frog we have been refusing to play footy for years...

Perhaps not, perhaps it was.

A bloke who has yard defence all year at Casey who was then played as a forward the last 2 weeks?!

They rang the mothers?? So all 4 of the players all in that age bracket? Wtf?! How about Essendon you worry about the Fing players you potentially put in harms way rather than a concerned parent voicing there right to be heard.

I don't think there is any flux, ASADA stated again last night it was a banned substance. Waters are very muddied.

Best for their competition..... You mean their wallets don't you?

The cynic is strong in you RR. I had the same questions just asked by a few of the guys around the office, why now. My response was after yesterdays Hird/EFC media conference held at the "swanky" (geez the media is loving swanky at the minue, Hirds swanky abode as well) Olsen hotel the players mother had had enough and wanted to express a parents concerns but who knows. On the flip side another parent (Murray Browne) has come out, named an all, and said he/they are "satisfied" with the responses from EFC and that their son is in no danger of long term side affects. I think I'd go to the AFLPA and have them source an independant medical expert to verify all and any claims made by EFC in relation this those claims but thats just me...

He was to respond in less time than that but HE wanted more time to respond....... insane.

It is bizarre but yet not I guess. When you have been lauded and lionised for 20 years it would be hard to hand over your crown.

The side effects include a massive dose of egotitius that never goes away. Poor fella!

How can you guarantee Col won't be at the Cas on Thus nights til 4am? You can't but we take it as part of the process. It is free market and people can do what they like they are not surfs of the club. Will he come back... meh can't see it and that would be worth a book update!

FD what about the Melbourne Doc and the Melb footy club in this. We forget we have a player/s named (Trenners and was Dunny named too?) and can only assume (dddeeerrr considering where we are at presently) that our governance was just as shoddy and that virtually ALL AFL clubs are as shoddy. I saw something the last week where Eddie said the Pies will be looking into their governance processes, I nearly fell off my chair, only NOW they are looking into governance?!

Didn't his line also say something like "of the drugs they are aware were injected... the parents were given assurances that the players were in nor danger." Like wtf? the drugs the club is aware of...

Thanks for some wonderful memories Flash! In your prime you were a genuine star and excitement machine who dragged us through the turnstiles in anticipation. All the best for the future and here is hoping at least one of the boys pulls in the Dees jumper in the future and has an even better career.

For people to say the weight of it has finally hot the players and they are only now playing poorly doesn't ring true for me. They have not won a game in the month of August under that responsibility dodger. It is a pattern of under performance at the pointy end of the season. Of course it is not his fault it is ASADA and the AFL's.

So we all agree in Mazza then? True Brent did have a moment and I'll absolutely give him that moment. What a tease!

Ps I assume Gilli is not coming back from injury...

Adam Maric and Brent Grgic say hi!

Ben Warren must be getting looked at by AFL clubs again. Gillies named in Casey 2's as well, oopphh. Is he coming back from an injury?

I just keep thinking of Reimers and what else we might hear from him. In fact I want to hear more from him, even though [censored] Dons fans will say he is a disgruntled ex employee

Christ I wouldn't write him off just yet...

One question not raised loudly as yet is why has Worksafe not investigated the allegedly unsafe work environment these employees had to work in?

I do hope the above is the case, we seem to be very quick to look for the result. I do hope that the USADA, LA scenario is the example followed even if that mean it is stiff for Trenners.
