Bombers fined only $200K for unsafe work place. Which club does the magistrate barrack for? http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/essendon-fined-200000-for-failing-to-keep-a-safe-workplace-20160128-gmfp9r.html

See Tim Lane's article in The Age On drugs, AFL's small world has to embrace the bigger issue Best thing written critical of AFL and Essendrug.

I am sick of all the fluffed handballs, handballs into players backs, handballs behind players, air shot handballs, dribbled handballs, handballs straight to opposition players and handballs to players surrounded by opposition players. We need someone like Sam to teach our list what a real handball looks like. It is an indictment on the current coaches that so many of our players can't or won't improve their handball skills. We get killed by the resulting turnover goals every week.

The best winger seen at the G was Robbie Flower who was great overhead and never beaten for a mark. Aish would be a positive for me.

Eddie is just concerned due to the fact that 2 of his boys have positive tests hanging over them. What happened to the B sample results? If 2 or more members of a team test positive then the team can also be rubbed out. Time to worry Eddie!

Liam Jurrah!!!

Jnr I think you meant 60 years! in the last 50 years we have won exactly zero flags.

Maybe the reason Dank won't come forward with what he gave the players is because he gave them placebos - he was using Essendon's funds to supply his clinics with the 'good stuff'. Essendon would have some action against Dank for fraudulent invoices etc. The fact that the players bulked up and had numerous soft tissue injuries doesn't back up this theory!

Crowley tested positive afte Round 17 and yet accepted a provisional suspension after September which enabled him to play in Freo's 2 losing finals. Why was he allowed to play these games after testing positive?

Grapeviney quote "souce?"Was told by George Stone at a Devil's Advocates dinner a couple of weeks ago. I haven't seen it reported anywhere else.

Hogan actually has couple of cracked vertabrae in his back - they will mend with time. It is best left to the conditioning guys to decide when he will be right to play. If it is not this year then that is the correct decision. He will be gun forward for us next year.

WJ the interesting quote from the A-Rod story was "He associated with a fake doctor at an anti-aging clinic called Biogenesis". Seems to be quite close to the Essendrug story.

PJ said we are on track for break-even 2014 after a loss of about $1.5M for 2013. He said we have a full book of sponsors who should stick. We are 3 weeks ahead of last year to sign up 20000 members. There were no nominations for directors of MFC so no need for an election to be held with corresponding savings in postage and other costs. Roos was super impressive and confident. He says we will improve but it is up to the players to drive the club forward. He is impressed with Howes athleticism and could be played in forward/midfield. Watts will also be used in midfield with bursts off the interchange bench a la Goodes. The recruiters thought Salem was worth pick 3 and so we effectively traded pick 2 for 2 pick 3's as Tyson was taken at pick 3 by GWS 2 years ago.

The longer Whoosha remains unsigned at WCE the more likely it is that Roos will coach in the West and Whoosha get the Dees gig:)

Maybe the club can't afford his match payments or they have a salary cap issue with so many high priced players out injured and being paid.

A senior Player at Melbourne said tonight that he heard that Roos had enrolled his kids at a Perth school. Has Woosha signed a contract for 2014?

I understand that Kia are not happy with things going on at Essendrug. They sell a heap more cars than Opel.

I would not rely on Clarkson's manager and have a coffee with Clarko to ascertain whether he would be interested in the coaching gig at MFC. GL did that with Ross Lyon and where did that end?

Why are we getting so many foot injuries? Is it the training, the surfaces they train on or the footwear?

The main issue with playing games at Casey is that it seats less than 5000 and would need at least $12-20M spend by the State and Federal Governments to bring it up to the standard of Kardinia Park. Looks like pie in the sky at this time.
