Mega Thread Oh yeah ... did you know there are 17 other teams? - General AFL discussion #9 - Blues posters only

[gbatman]

imagine if this is a thing over the whole/majority of the playing group. Could they find themselves playing for no premiership points or draft picks?

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Brilliant RK....

Gonna take a bit to beat this for "post of the year" but I am sure the Bombers and Tigers will give us plenty of material!!

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Be interesting to hear the Essendon corporate sponsor's reaction to all of this.

Would not be too happy methinks.

They will just scapegoat "The Weapon", after all he was the only one who knew anything about it, not even the players themselves were aware of it......

Should have their 11th placing last year stripped from them and any benefits they received for having to cheat to finish that high.....

Well, well, well...you know those mornings when you wake up and you can just feel that something wonderful has happened in the world?...

What have I missed.

The way things are going and as long as we stay clean we may have picks 1 - 80 in the next draft....

Seriously though, at least one of the coaches would have to go if this thing plays out the way it seems it may.
To suggest that no player would come to their coach or at least any officials is just too hard to believe............almost impossible to believe

Rohan Connolly's view...

MMM named Kyle Riemers as the ex player who will reveal all tomorrow

Something about that, is so very fitting

Just seen his little interview with Barrett, where he openly admitted it, apparently was filmed last month.

Surely this isn't the reason the Bombers have gone to the mattresses??

This was my first thought...even if half of what's flying around turns out to be true, the stupidity involved beggars belief bordering on insanity.

Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.

This would also explain Mark Thompson looking and acting high as a ******* kite in some of his appearances on AFL 360 during the season.

Yep and also shaking & opening a can of coke on the back of Jimmy's head whilst in the coaching box.....

 

[ESKIE]

its too good to be true !

the players had to sign waiver forms, for the treatment they had, now you can;t tell me the club didn;t know anything about it, the AFL made tentative enquiries last month ? So now the media have hold of it ... it really has forced the issue, one would think the AFL would have liked it to stay swept under the carpet, can;t wait for it to unfold, could not happen to a nicer pack of....

 

[I bleed Blue]

Never thought I would say this.

I feel really sorry for the Essendon supporters.

 

[HARKER]

Where's the duty of care when a club puts a gun to your head to sign a waiver?

Even if whatever the guys were taking is clean, that's just not a great look for the club whichever way you look at it.

I also feel sorry for the supporters who have to contend with this sort of crap being presented to them from their club.

Gerard Healy tipping the bucket on the Bombers on 3AW ATM. Soft tissue injuries due to unnatural muscle gain that put strains on the tendons. The story is only going to get bigger and dwarf Adelaide's scandal. Even the AFL can't overrule WADA and ASADA after they signed up to their rules. Two year ban or four year to life ban. AFL's drug testing policy looks flawed if they didn't pick up "borderline use" of supplements. The expert on 3AW just stated that testing is only one of eight ways they can be found guilty.

Reimers appears to be their Mclean.

Feel for the better Essendon supporters, but the cocky ones on BF and the ones I know can GAGF.



Hird will still be teflon coated in their eyes.

 

[HARKER]

Reimers appears to be their Mclean.

Can you imagine if we had have drafted Reimers as we had intentions to do so....

 

[goreds]

Caroline Wilson about to start swinging...! #3AW

 

[happydude]

I need updates this is currently my only feed of info at this time.

Much appreciated.

Nah....wait....nope.

 

[blueboy25]

Now that Collingwood aren't involved I wonder what big mouth Ed Maguire has to say about all this. Or is it only when Carlton are involved that he likes to mouth off?

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Never thought I would say this.

I feel really sorry for the Essendon supporters.

**** 'em, they said what they were doing was borderline, and went ahead and systematically, make no mistake that's what they did, doped up, now one of them has come out as a whistleblower.

This I know nothing horseshit, is just that...... horseshit.

Obviously they'll be on the blower to get Reimers to recant, and pray like buggery most of the media stories that have been sat on for the last month don't come to light. But this is gunna get real ugly, real quick.

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

How ****ing great is this!

 

[JustaBattler]

and today's challenge for AFL inc is
SPIN THIS Demetriou and Co..

1. Adelaide rorted salary cap for three years and copped a flogging delivered by wet lettuce leaf three times (only Carlton cheats)
2. Tippett gets to choose where he goes - and Shitney (using their COLA entitlement) take him on regardless of a six month suspension ( Culture)
3. Melbourne gets investigated for tanking still no finding or punishment
4. Fat Eddie McFatchins screams about the "AFL's problem with drugz" - 4 of his players go running to self confession loophole as AFL arives for drug testing
5. Essendon have a structural HGH regime implemented and players go down like they were hit by a plague
6. People start connecting the dots - Geelong - Thommo - Weapon....Geelong ex Coaches ...Adelaide size gains....West Coast size gains...


PS only Carlton cheats..

 

[Dramoth]

Best. Day. Ever...

**** Essenscum the cheating w***ers.

They got their players to sign waivers so they knew what they were doing was in the wrong. They tried to arrest their slide down to the bottom of the ladder by using drugs to give the players that little boost.

Now everyone over at that scum club are ducking and weaving and trying to find scapegoats because they know that they dont have Evans around any more to cover their shit up.

What was it... when Evans was the chairman of the AFL, Essenscum were found guilty of cheating the cap in 91,92 and 94 but in their premiership year... they managed to get under the salary cap. And it came out later that they were over the cap in 93 as well but Evans had covered it up...

Essenscum deserves everything coming their way now... so... do I feel sorry for the supporters? some of them are nice enough people... my nephew and Revenge's wife are about the only 2 I know of who are scum supporters and are nice... and my grandfather has passed away many years ago... but the rest of them can GAGF...
