This where the 3 strike policy fails. I mean if the club and coach was informed after 1 strike then they would have been able to help him sooner but the coaches have no idea what players are on what strikes. Am I naive to think all our boys are cleanskins. No im sure there are some who have dabbled although when I look at our boys i wouldnt believe it. Some past players definitely I have suspicions about. But drugs are illegal but if a player has a drink then they get hauled in front of a presser apologising. But drug takers are protected. Also someone has been sitting on these photos for 2 years. Obviously the herald sun paid for them so someone has made some cash. Karmichael Hunt has dropped everyone in it and he should tell the club who the others are. I can see why players wouldnt have come forward when the club asked them to but they look pretty silly now. The self reporting by players should also be stopped. The players are taking advantage of the system by doing drugs then admitting they did them without getting a strike. Everyone is concerned about Bennells welfare and yes they should be but what if he is one of these players that has no regard for the system and thinks he can beat it or just laughs it off. also poor Rocket, he must wonder what he has got himself into.

To everyone calling to scrap it thats just ridiculous. Look how much money it raises for prostate cancer. Its a bit of a laugh for 2 hours. I think it was great for someone like the whiz to participate. I think we can put up with it once a year.

I hope Tom is ready for Kennedy. According to CH7 sport tonight Jesse has been in WA and will meet the team in Darwin. The club gave him permission to do this. So im guessing he will play.

If buddy knocked out edwards out cold he would have got more but because edwards came back on it was deemed not as bad. Franklin chose to run past the ball, looked at edwards and bumped in illegally. Should have at least been 2. I can handle tippett getting 1. Firrito only copped a fine when he basically did the same thing a few weeks ago. The goodes one. Im actually defending him. It was nothing. If you watched it live it was fine. Not sure why he chose to go in that position but it looked like there was no contact. The still shot someone took made it look a lot worse.

I can see why we had to give our games to other venues a few years ago and hey its great going to darwin in winter to watch the footy but when we played port earlier on at Alice I wished it was at the G instead. Playing west coast next week in darwin isnt a bigger concern because they have smashed us at teh G but it would be nice down the track where we get into a position where we dont have to do this. Although i reckon we get a bit of money from the NT government from doing this.

Love how Bomber just speaks the truth as he sees it. http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/afl/james-hird-will-eventually-get-sacked-by-essendon-says-mark-thompson/story-fni5f6kw-1227417948956

essendon fans are so delusional. as Andrew D said it wasnt us at the AFL that injected stuff into the players. Plus Turd gave clarko a little bit of ammo by saying i hate them more than anyone else. Headline on the back of todays age sport. Clarko just stuck it up on the board for his team to look at. Although they didnt really need it.

Mitchell doing the jab sledge

Nice comment from a bummers fan from bombersblitz

Sam Mitchell miming putting a needle in his arm to Essendon players. #aflhawksdons. One of my friends is a essendon fan and hates mitchell with a passion so that would have gone down well. They reckon mitchell said jab jab jab. fans on bomberblitz calling for mitchell to be suspened or fined for the action.

nup we know hawthorn will make the 8. We dont essenscum in there. Hope they get done. Besides it funny to scroll through bomberblitz and read the comments when they are losing.

roughead 3 behinds. Come on.

shoulder dislocation for chip apparently. He did the injury in r2 against the dons as well. Just hope the hawks can run over thew top of them. Bummers holding it together so far.

Cyril missing today. But I hope the bummers cop a smashing. Put more pressure on turd.They better not do what they did in r2 and upset them.

I dont boo him never have and I never will. Im just not a fan.

Yeah but Goodes seem to do it more than most. I just remember in the early days he got away with everything. This is why im not a fan. I mean at 1/4 time last night he totally over reacted and had a bit of a scuffle going and then again when Buddy took a mark and Rance slid and again Goodes butted in and over reacted. Its like he cant mind his own business and just has to get involved in something.

Got a good grip there goodsy

I think people used to have sydney as one of there favourite teams but I suspect that they are slowly becoming of one of the most hated. I mean they get Tippett in then they sneakily get franklin in, which was a great move by the club but from the outside we all don't agree with there extra funding and they have Goodes who people are sick of with whinging, sliding and trying to score frees. As much as I laugh at Richmond and how they stuff up there seasons I actually found myself barracking for them, actually a draw would have been good as well. But I did laugh when sydney only kicked 3 goals after 1/2 time. There millionaire forward line failed miserably and Rance just rag dolled buddy after 1/2 time.

Bet he only gets a fine or 1 or 2 weeks because Edwards didnt get knocked out. They also play the hawks in 3 so you know the afl will want him available. The thing is he chose to go past the ball to bump edwards. Guess we already know the talking point this weekend.

Gee Adam Goodes is a bit of a [censored]. I can see why people boo him and its not because of the reason he thinks. He gets a little knock in the back at 1/4 time and you would have thought someone clocked him on the way he carried on about it, then he gets stuck into Rance when he didnt even make contact with Buddy and all because of rance sliding. Hello hypocrite that what you do but you make contact. Not sure the tigs can get back into this. On another note im wishng and hoping the hawks [censored] the bummers tomorrow. Like really [censored] them.

I can't hear any watts bashing. We must have won. The annoying thing is if we held on last week we would be only 1 game out of the 8

It is just so good having another person to help out jones. Thankyou col for leaving melbourne and letting us get pick 21 to get this superstar. Best thing you ever did for us.

love love love him. But I think Jones basically mentoring him has helped a lot. The man just doesnt miss a tackle.
