value huh !!!

Talk about snap !! Lol

I know O D and I have wondered this. Will he ever play again ? Its not a flippant question as some might think.

Can i have a refund ?

No.....never saw it coming guv !!!

they would do so at their peril OD

WADA impacts far wider than the AFL OD. No man is an island stuff etc. There are obligations to be upheld. The AFL operate ( willingly ) under the guidelines as espoused by the WADA, as administered locally by ASADA. ASADA as a Gov dept cant operate outside the law. The AFL has contractually agreed to the conditions etc as outlines by WADA. Theres no just walking away and declaring " my bat, my ball"

there ya go !!!

seeking and GETTING...Two different things. ASADA work under the umbrella of its International franchise owner. Should the AFL want to take this push and shove down its own path I can only imagine every other sporting org in this country will cry foul and seek to have WADA force ASADA to toe the line and enforce the predetermined penalties. If they dont it will make a total mockery of not only its governance but its jurisdiction. Essendon, indeed the AFL are about to discover where they sit in the world and thats as minnows

No wholesale change but a spring clean none the less is certainly required. For no other reason than to make some space. How much ? We'll see

Far too early to be making calls on the Toump.

no, they want respect back. They 'll slap us each way and sideways especially if no Garland.Hate to say it but they've owned us in recent times. They have a midfield. Not brilliant but likely 3 men better than us. They need to show their lot that they can remember how to win. This is schooyard pecking order stuff. Nth by 30

I cant believe other than the AFL will have sought to sweetdeal this. AD cant afford a non Essendon 2014/15 so will have always wanted to facilitate some form of tolerant and watered down answer. Have to think this was always initiated with some form of backdoor escape inbuilt. WADA need to remain as overseers to ensure all parties keep to the path. (spelling )

the answer lays within

Tentative list of those substances allowable for consumption by D'landers for approval by -T$B$ commission are as : Bananas ( all shapes and form ) Carrots , only when in the form of cake Snot Blocks and I also propose the humble Custard Tart ( on probation )

Dear WADA To whom it may concern, Please come and sort these Aussie clowns out as they are giving you guys a bad name regards

Scott and the Roo boys will be salivating at the notion of playing a Darwin sapped Dees. We will play them back into winning form no doubt. I doubt Garlo will be avail for a couple of weeks, just a gut feeling I admit Nth Melb... Will be delighted to find form against us.We cant put 4 qtrs together, neither can they , but they will hold sway Giants. Youd think this is ours wouldnt you. Possibly will be if they tank...( what do I mean IF !!! lol ) Will make a amess of it still Suns One G Ablett alone would beat us....and will Freo ( only game left at the G for year ) We might turn it on for our last hurrah at home, they will turn us off Crows Fine time to find them in form....at their home... nfw Dogs Might be a very entertaining game (for about 30 mins ) Hate the Dome, and so do the Dees I see only one win there....and its dubious But take solace, there'll be a few honorable losses to hang your hats on. whatever that means . I used to think it meant we lost, but the new spin has it different apparently

It was all about nothing really, just a fluffy opinion ( hoping ) piece

I think this is a stance few are game to exude. I dont particularly disagree. Whilst there may well be a myriad of reasonable excuses for his form they in the end are just that, excuses. Please dont readers return fire with "reasons' for there is no 'reason" in this stance. If he is fit , he takes the critique , if he is not, then he ought not be playing this level for it over taxes him without really providing bang for buck. He did , I repeat play an OK game but not one of his real ability. If he is such dire need of an uninterupted preseason then maybe he ought to be running around the less arduous Scorps until hes ready to step up to he proper level

you mean get players that can kick ?? Groundbreaking stuff. Am tired of stating this. Our skills are vfl at best often. Mind boggles

in reality youre actually noting the ONLY stat that counts. The scoreboard.

So many seem incapable of simple observations. Its all well and good to give ones all, and we would be better if ALL did. Some do and still haven't the impact needed . But point this out and we are crucifying them. No ; just calling a spade a spade. Mediocrity still alive and well.

are you capable of a discussion, can you add to the enlightenment or are your observations limited to red noses and big shoes ?

I do to...OK that is.. Nothing brilliant, not bad. Like others I simply would think a captain would be a peg above that and have that certain something that lifts others. But he plays an OK game spose thats ok

In all seriousness do yo consider his game as OK, good , very good ?? Would you follow him over the top ?? Does he inspire ?
