Mega Thread Essendon/Hird v ASADA Trial - The Verdict, Today 1.30pm (stream link in OP)

[passmark]

I think ASIO knew this decision was coming, that's why they increased the terror threat classification.

ISIS got nuthin' on these fools.

 

[jezzajay]

nd to think essendon took this route because they didnt want things to drag on (or blowout)...biggest hypocrites on the planet right now!

 

[van peebles]

The best EFC can now do is to get a player to lodge proceedings against them.Its the only way to stop the train running over them and it could delay the asada case for another 2/3 years.

 

[SunshineBoy]

I feel for the players, they are innocent. Hird should never return to Essendon.

bulltish, they took the money and the medal and the glory

 

[Heisenberg_]

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

Definitely not, even if this court challenge never occurred he couldn't have.
They have to sack him, but it's bit going to happen.

Black and red trunks went down hard

 

[Hollow Knight]

All I can say to The Red Sash and Fogdog is...

 

[compact72]

Hird is going to have to sell few more places, to pay back ASADA ahahahahahahaha

 

[MooreTreloar]

Finally some justice for this sh*tstorm Essendon has created.

 

[MarkP]

Oh dear James.

Oh dear.

 

[Westy Bogan]

This also means that Bomber will be leaving Ess. He was waiting for this to make up his mind. He has stated he would not stay if SC notices were sent.

 

[Satan]

Knew efc were in trouble early when judge attacked them for attacking andruska as a credible wittness. he was not impressed.

 

[SunshineBoy]

how did Essendon waste the season.
ASADA took their 18 months to deliver the verdict
Essendon used their right to appeal in which they did.
it was ASADA who took their time with things

Essendon board >>>>>>>>>

 

[sharp450]

Sultans avatar pretty much sums up what happened to the Dons & Hird today

And paid thru the nose for the pleasure

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

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

He's just writing it up now...

"In the unlikely event that Justice Middleton finds in favor of ASADA...."

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Bendigo Bombers will do well next year

 

[compact72]

Makes Ryders decision easier. Hird is right, we are all in a better place now

 

[Sloth]

I feel for the players, they are innocent. Hird should never return to Essendon.

Nope. If they were innocent they would not have received show cause notices (like 17 other clubs that followed the rules)

what club is he involved with again? That Bastion of truth justice and the Australian way?

The players have full faith in their medical staff and coach that what they inject isn't dangerous or banned.

Suspension implies that they knew that they were taking banned substances but in reality they had no idea.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Essendon has gone quiet - the brightest day in Australian sport?
