Saty and similar ilk; Mines far from a pack thinking mentality. Dare I say i was among a handful from the beginning who urged and directed this be taken seriously. That's not to blow my own trumpet per se, just to put context on where I've been the whole time. The horse carrying any credibility for the likes of Robbo, Warner and a whole swag of others shot through long ago. As we have seen this past week, there's a lot in the Media with agendas and a fair slice of the media itself bias. Some of us just think for ourselves.

Thats what was presented to the public as his reason to not particpate.

I can see where some wouldl say there is a void to fill if Jobe disqualified ( when ..really ) . My preference though is for a 'no winner" result. This is some respects pays respect to the medal itself.

Which again reinforces the idea that Essendon is still nothing more than a club that would rather get away with what it can rather than aim high and do what it should.

No one will ever convince me the likes of Watson didnt realise it wasn't quite on the up and up. .

They maybe the same I knew of..Amazingly they both were desperately unfortunate to have relatives with terminal conditions requiring medical needs beyond their purchase Such a shame. I hope they all faired well in the end

This thread is the equivalent of Seinfeld. God knows how you would apply a definition to any discussion in order to be able to qualify any derailing. Bit like applying a grid to chaos theory really.

He has had a long time to ponder his actions. They speak as often do louder than words. There is no honour in what he's done, only personal expedience.

it encourages it !!!!

ET....should be banned for that...lol

With no appeal allowed

The AFL will love this spin.....those nasty WADA ppl !!!

Robinson must be staying up late with his crayons . Cheers for heads up DC

WJ... In all reality this thread is all about derailment

And that argument might go on for years

Watson played a very clever game, class has nothing to do with it. Street smarts maybe Apple Tree...say no more

not sure thats even relevant EH..the original engineering was crap..still is.

DC I dont think any year's outcome has ever been tainted as this particular one. I can fully understand...."a tent foot pole " in terms of thinking. If the AFL had any nuance of intellect it would indeed just void this year( the one concerned). But we already probably can deduce how it will p[lay out.

The hypocrisy is just mind boggling. The media, those at Awful House, the now " sanctified victims " The more it goes on the further it gets from the original transgression/felony !! The simplicity of the foul has now been oh o cleverly clouded in obfuscation that the many will never now understand the heinous and complicit nature of the original ruse. Danks walks free. Hird still smells of lavender to some. The players have been punished but they can consider themselves ( for mine ) damn lucky. I hope , fervently, Goodwin was only ancillary to all of this. "Bomber" and Weapon must be chuckling big time. And all the whiles the greatest culprit really will never be brought to answer, the AFL itself !! There are those for want of serendipity or a good dose of "dilligaf" just want the music to go on, hail mary , kum bi yah and let the game commence. Season 2017 will start and the crowds will gloss over anything that went before. As the chorus of excitement builds to a crescendo the resonance will echo at AFL house and the Gils of this world will smile knowingly. And they will have learnt nothing ....and the grass will still be green.......

Jobe, should have handed it back ages ago. Had any appeal exonerated him he could have had it back. Hes full of shlt for mine.

Yeah.....nah !!!

Nbn National bloody nuisance. An absolute joke. Was severely compromised from the get go. Whoever designed it was a nong. Spent 12 years as a systems engineer and our little band of brethren even when i gave it away in 2005 could see its inbuilt limitations. Only stupidity and arrogance combined with ignorance has allowed it to still be happening. Should have chucked out and started again....(before they actually started ) Billions wasted.Beuracratic bs of highest order

....and that's a wrap !!!

Sadly its invariably not an evening of fine wines

what...you reckon we'd beat Red to it ??? ridiculous ...lol
