Essendon compensation for pain and suffering

[Oneiros]

Nah, not going to lock it. Stay very close to the OP, please.

So questions about your avatar are outside the acceptable lines of discussion?

Nice post. I was going to like it but the last part reminded me that we hate each other.

We aren't tribal rivals -- we are franchises

It's not entirely true.

If they don't make* the finals that $55 goes towards their membership for the following year.

another "half truth"

 

[GreatBradScott]

You would have to prove that their reputations were damaged by the media reporting and not things like the announcement of the Ziggy report findings, Jobe's statement or any other Essendon-led announcements about the case.

Which would be impossible.

Essentially, all of this would take place in an alternate reality where James Hird took advice.

Probably...

 

[Jobe Watson]

Well, the club is currently asking for members to give $55, non refundable, for guaranteed access to finals tickets for this year, so why not just direct that money to a future fund for players affected by the drugs they were injected with?

Complete and utter lie. Even still, our $55 for finals tickets offer is a much more realistic promotion than North's hilarious "Premiership Pledge".

Anyway, if Essendon and James Hird are found to be in the clear over a systematic performance enhancing drug program, I'd like to see a few journalists out there apologise, or face legal action. Let's start with Gerard Healy, who basically implied that Jake Melksham was an anabolic steroid using drug cheat because his arms grew bigger over the space of a pre-season.

When all comes to light and we are not guilty, what do you think our compensation should be?

We've had Hird, Evans and co reputations put through the mud with no basis.

 

[teknodeejay]

I thought this was a thread about the 99 prelim.

And I think only a Free Mars would be the perfect compensation, wouldn't you agree?

 

[GarnerSmash]

So you can get it back? Or is it a half truth?

Geraldo isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. Anything that can get him off the air...

A flight to Albury that wont be cancelled due to inclement weather. Obviously, Brad Scott wont pilot the thing.

Okay, let's be serious, people.

No one is getting a defamation suit. All you need is one cranky defendant who doesn't want to settle, one rough cross-examination and its Barbara Streisand city.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Maybe a pain killing injection for all.

Dont forget leroy Jetta after "the" pre-season could not fit into his jeans His thighs had grown that large. Also what will your feelings be if Essendon and Hird are actually found guilty as sin ? Will you expect them to apologies to Caro or face legal action from fairfax ?

Does it actually say that? I guess they have certain expectations already.

A mountain of rainbows delivered by unicorns and centaurs.

 

[juss]

Essendon's stance/defence/public comment seems to change every month. If they were completely above board in every regard they wouldn't be doing that.

 

[QuietB]

We've had Hird, Evans and co reputations put through the mud with no basis.

Are we likely to see an apology from the Government, AFL, ASADA?

What about our favourite journalists/media reporters?

Surely the answer is Jack Watts?

When the findings are handed down and your disgusting cheating club is whacked perhaps you should get members to band together and take out a class action against the Essendon Football Club and board for deceptive and misleading conduct

some one should tell hird this, it will get him to admit to it quick sticks.

 

[Stamos]

Essendon would receive the same compensation Melbourne got for havng it's name dragged through the mud for not tanking.

$2.5 Mil?

Can't see the AFL offering that up to the Dons.

Nice post. I was going to like it but the last part reminded me that we hate each other.

haha. I've been finding it really hard 'liking' posts from users from clubs like carlton etc

another "half truth"

You do realize when we had our finals/GF guarantee the money was/is 100% non-refundable (its being phased out for old participants as MRC replaces it)?
