I am not as generous as you sue. IMO it is Gil trying to get out of taking the medal back. It is a little like the banning decision it appears they had made no plan for that eventuality when it happened. They went into panic mode and had to call a board meeting to formulate a plan. They have had ten months since the banning decision and the majority report on the players appeal was there was little to no chance the players would get a reversal. Then we arrive at the decision on Tuesday and they have to hold a board meeting to work out what to do? Two things scream out at me. - For the size of the AFL their pre planning is atrocious. - They have no stomach for supporting the drive to get drugs out of sport. They give it lip service and marginal support.

That is a hard one to defeat Abe. I too struggle with why you would have multiply injections and not ask what is in them.

Now you are pushing it!!!!!!

I would agree but we are not the AFL when the chief says he feels sorry for the players and does not think they should have been found guilty then a keep the medal verdict would not surprise me.

That's how long it will take to try and come up with excuses to not take it away.

Makes a great rum punch!

Yep and not much I can add DC.

And who are we to cast the first stone!

This from the AGE it appears they did not even give the appeal the time of day. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/essendon-swiss-court-decision-judgment-reveals-appeal-success-not-even-entertained-20161011-gs09lm.html

So get used to not having Hibberd.

Yep sure will DC. Finishing fifth will mean Essendrug get done well and truely!

Now that may be a little grandiose for 2017 R and B. A slow build to a decade of continuing domination is what I want. 2017 we make 8th with a little luck then a Prelim in 2018 and the GF in 2019.

14 without seeing the fixture. Have faith DF

Well DF I am not sure what that says about your domestic situation. I will not be making my pronouncement until the fixture is revealed but you can be sure it will be more than 10.

Now DF did I tell you ten wins this year? Have faith my son 2018/9 we are a chance with this group plus five new players over the next two years.

Training the house down.

Wow DF I thought you had started supporting the Eagles. Welcome back. To answer your questions Not a lot.

We throw him back!

Rare now Bbo. Like you I feel reassured that there still people of this quality left amongst us.

The ultimate test! Of course you can lead a horse to water however .....

You have hit the solution ManDee. The elixir that cures all.

Nuh!

Tonight Mrs OD and I went to see the" Go Show Gold" my grand daughter said what is that Pa? To which my daughter answered Just a show for old Foggies ! Well after I finished laughing We had a good time. A few have lost it but most were good.
