Is the golden boy still in a good place?
haha

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

For the love of all things living please do not appeal Essendon.

Just deal with the show cause notices, suck major ASADA and AFL D and for crying out loud get rid of Hird now!!!!

They won't,won't be surprised if players take some sort of deal now for this to end this.

 

[Frez87]

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.

Gold Coast or Adelaide could use a coach like him..

 

[Hawthorn United]

The paying for the winning defendant court costs is generally what happens right? Because it's generally not their fault it was taken to court.

 

[_RT_]

James, remember how Sando got sacked with 2 years to run......

 

[SSSSSS]

Spangher is the one true Messiah not Hird you Essendon heathens.

 

[tigers_of_old_08]

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

If this trial cost the Bombers less than a million then they hired monkeys. ('monkeys' because they're cheap - not intended as a racist comment!)

 

[Xtreme]

If they appeal this, may as well run it along with Benny Hill music

 

[1990crow]

Give them two years. No one is innocent here.

 

[Jaeger]

AFL won't like all of this distracting people from their big game against North tonight.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Didn't watch much of the initial hearing. Did Essendon's case seriously rely heavily on trying to paint Andruska as being untrustworthy because she took time to refer to notes when giving testimony?

Holy moly.

 

[Rob R]

No wonder the ratings for "The Recruit" were high, people were checking out Essendon's starting 18 for next year either due to suspensions or players suing Essendrug/Hird for lack of due care.

[SunshineBoy]

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.

jab Watson said they were surprised at the change in body shape after just two weeks on the gear, they kne

They won't,won't be surprised if players take some sort of deal now for this to end this.

There's no deal now buddy boy. That ship has sailed.

 

[DT_35]

hahaha this is epic. Everyone turning on Hird the turd

 

[tigerwill]

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...

Report earlier said Hird & Essendons costs were approx $500k total.
Add the other ASADAs costs. $millionish in total

 

[DEECEE]

Anyone got Flogdogs number? need his keen legal opinion on this one...

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Essendon Supporters Right Now

They should have cut their losses 12 months ago. They're behaving like a gambler who keeps trying to get his winnings back. But they can't.

 

[Mutt]

Kind of a waste on a Friday afternoon that. Could have made for the best Grand Final half time entertainment in history....

 

[sharp450]

I cant believe Hird lost considering he had access to all Tania Hirds notes

 

[iweymouth10]

meanwhile at windy hill

 

[HolyWars]

Give them two years. No one is innocent here.

Except for those couple of players who refused to go along with the program. I can't remember who though....
