"In cases of high media interest, we endeavour to publish judgments within 1 hour of being delivered by the Court."

Will go grab lunch, looking forward to reading the full judgment.

Essendon should have gone with the Chewbacca defence.

 

[Harry Hawks]

Essendon Board right now

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

He's telling Middleton "Don't choose sides. Don't choose sides"

Brilliant!

Middleton: Essendon and Hird to pay costs

Hope Essendon members set aside a few hundred extra dollars to pay for their memberships next year

 

[the 5th wiggle]

Did he just order them to pay costs???

What a big FU from the Judge to the Bombers.
Now I can enjoy the game tonight.

Yep,even if north get flogged tonight I'm still going to have a good day.

 

[base615]

Essendon board says this just discredits the judge despite them saying he was going to lay the smackdown on ASADA for the last month

 

[tigers_of_old_08]

Can Hird honestly come back next season to coach with any credibility?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

I thought the deadline has already passed. EFC couldn't get an injuction on it.

ASADA granted an open-ended extension to the players to respond. They'll probably give notice today that the period will expire in 28 days.

Stay stupid, your club is pure entertainment.

And pay that membership for next year. It's for that building. Yeah, that'll fly.

Losers.

Talking about suicide in this setting deserves the comment

 

[SunshineBoy]

was tania taking notes?

 

[DERIBERATE]

PREPARE THE ANUS

 

[Dee Snider]

[Sam95]

essendon conspiracy is that middelton is a brisbane supporters and wants paddy * there delusional *s ahahahhaha

 

[sharp450]

Paul Little can follow James Turd out the door as well, time to take a broom to that rat festering club

 

[juss]

Hundreds of thousands of dollars more Essendon waste for nothing more than a delay of the inevitable.

 

[Tigerland]

From here I expect Little to do what he knows he must...

Accept a deal from ASADA and co-operate and try for a light ban only and say goodbye to the Doc and Coaching staff that were involved.

More legal costs will dead set kill this club. This is the only rational decision he can make.

 

[PattoMan99]

Can't wait for Essendon's club statement LOL.

 

[Hollow Knight]

How much will costs be approx?

Add that to paying out Hird's extended contract and sending him on an extended study jaunt in Paris...

 

[donbooger]

I couldnt wipe the smile off my face when Middleton said Essendon and Hird had to pay costs.
