Certified Legendary Thread 34 Essendon* Players suspended for doping violations - No opposition fans. Check OP for thread rules

Wording.

Aren't all Essendon players "available" to play but a heap have chosen not to?

Yeah. That is my recollection

 

[Juddalenko]

Goddard said they're going to win a premiership and then a movie will be made about them.

**** me what a dickhead.

He's cashing in on his fame from his St Kilda days. Who can forget such classics as "The Winning Streak 2004".

You have to remember this is *Essendon we're talking about. The same club who:

- Stated that they did not know what the players took, but knew what they took was nothing prohibited.

- Gave Hird a 2 year extension after it was found that he was front and centre of the doping scandal.

- Wasted millions of dollars on a futile court case, under the guise of "unfairness".

- Continually lashed out at the organisation who has them at their complete mercy.

- Brought back Sheedy.

- Hired Mark Neeld as an assistant coach.

- Hired Dank without a background check.

- Technically "fired" Thompson in favour of Hird.

- Couldn't even cover their tracks properly.

- Instigated such a doping program in the first place.

So yes, they would be that stupid.

They also attacked the AFL even though they wanted to help them sweep it under the carpet. Boggles the mind why they fought the AFL with threats to Vlad for breaking rules by telling them what was coming.

Can anybody tell me the significance of this picture?

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Can anybody tell me the significance of this picture?

It was the spark for the next 4 years of AFL (at least) being hopelessly compromised and tarnished?

sure is lol this is probably the exact moment.

 

[GoBlues!]

Can anybody tell me the significance of this picture?

Its the last picture of Hird's natural skin colour?

 

[Jabba73]

Can anybody tell me the significance of this picture?

The moment Hird admitted to himself he could not coach and needed to cheat to sooth his ego.

His fingers have all grown back with the help of peptides.

 

[hoddo22]

The last legitimate game Essendon were involved in???

Brooklyn 99 is back for a new series - if I worked out I could probably be mistaken for Jake Peralta.

2 shots a day... but you also need to mix it up with Hexarelin and AOD9604 to get the maximum results and recovery 1 shot of each a day

 

[goreds]

AFL just banned any player not on the 2012 list from today's so called competitive training against a vfl side!!!! Goddard not allowed to play!!!

 

[BuxbaumBixby]

Funny.

[Dramoth]

It's apparently the team that they want to field in round 1 against an AFL side...

Geez they are ******* good thinking that their players are going to get off the charges.

Actually... thinking about it. The practice match against the Seagulls is an AFL sanctioned game... the AFL had to approve it so that those guys "provisionally suspended" could play. Guess what that means in the scheme of things.

 

[Dramoth]

And in further news... Essendon has named 4 fringe players from 2012 werent involved in the supplements scandal and are cleared to play in Morwell today

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

/whiny voice: I don't get itttttttttttttt

 

[Dramoth]

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-03-05/bombers-backflip

They have named 4 fringe players who were on the list in 2012 as not being under provisional suspension.

Nick O'Brien, Jackson Merrett, Elliott Kavanagh and Lauchlan Dalgleish were all fringe players there at the time!

 

[FlowersByIrene]

But... but... the injections weren't to enhance the performance of their best 22 and up and coming players.

It was just a healthy round of immunity boosters.. wasn't it?!

You're not trying to tell me that this program was targeted to the best and the brightest. In an effort to increase performance. Surely not

FlowersByIrene this is a family orientated forum so leave the But but jokes out of it. Don't what those impressionable ones compromised.

 

[Azul]

They still are. Merrett has kicked on in line with being a third year player but he's only on the cusp of best 22 rather than being a key playmaker. His best ever game was against us, naturally.

But this player solidarity bulltish of anonymously standing by their guilty teammates is out the window.

Those guys have been disadvantaged by NOT taking supplements. Meanwhile, their chemically enhanced brethren have stolen all their game time.

Some of these guys may face the contract axe at the end of the year - they owe their tainted teammates nothing.

 

[Azul]

Those 4 were all take in the 2011 ND/RD period - not sure about fellow draftee Baguley's innocence.

 

[Beer n Skittles]

Funny.

The best line

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying James is some sort of ‘Christ-like’ figure, Jesus let himself be sacrificed.
