Mega Thread Dean Robinson's Interview [full interview in OP]

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I agree, mud throwing in public without evidence, is probably not the best way to go about it.

More questions than answers.

 

[RegHickeyStand]

$100k is some serious poppy

He quit. Didn't get sacked. His lawyer likes poppy.

Essendon loves the Peppies.

 

[GarnerSmash]

All that will come out is that he will say that he is unhappy at the way he was handled by the club, that he feels like Essendone are making him the fall guy for the speculation regarding the current ASADA and ACC investigation and that he did nothing that wasn't approved by the club.

No way he will say anything saucy given he hopes to sue the club.

 

[markm106]

He is being paid huge $$$$$$ for this it seems. Can make a case for some people to discredit him. But with those bucks on offer he would want to give a few good scoops!!!

 

[Black Diamond]

I know he worked at Geelong, but was he also at the Suns?

 

[Purple Suit]

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I know he worked at Geelong, but was he also at the Suns?

He was for a month of less before he came to Essendon iirc.

 

[Duni]

I'm just disappointed they have got Luke Darcy to do it. ... I know most of the questions were written for him.

With crayons? Oh that would be if the questions were written by him.

My bad.

Well that just saved me 10 minutes of photoshopping ............... hehe

 

[Ned_Flanders]

As always, ask yourself what his motive is.

He wont help himself for another gig, so this is basically for the cash.

Means the incentive is to focus on as much dirt as possible, because C7 would not have agreed to $100k without knowing what they are getting.

For me, the two questions I expect a fair bit of dubiousness on will be his personal involvement in running the program (I'm assuming it will be "I was just along for the ride because Dank/Hird/Jebus forced me to do it"), and of course how much Hird knew (for a $100k you say "he knew everything" regardless)

If it was a journo doing this, I'd expect those answers to be worked around by good questioning and the journo setting him up for the trap.

Its Darcy though, a giant dumb arse bogan moron, so expectations are low.

Hopefully someone is feeding him the questions, and he is just Sooty with a hand up his arse

 

[Tex Support]

"Hi Weapon, thanks for your time."
"Hi Darce, no problem."
"Let me start by asking... where are you at?"
*millions of TV's switch off in unison*

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Harf on SEN this arvo reckons he spoke to someone who's seen it all, and it's nowhere near as "revealing" as some people have speculated.

Surely couldn't be the case...

 

[Masto]

Yeah I doubt there is much in there. I'm sure it will all come out in the court case though.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

"Hi Weapon, thanks for your time."
"Hi Darce, no problem."
"Let me start by asking... where are you at?"
*millions of TV's switch off in unison*

"So Weapon, I want to start with your bullfighting career. Word has it you were one of the absolute elite, most incredibly respected units going around, the absolute best in the business. How did you do it??"

 

[Sewer de Lance]

Does anyone know what lead Dean Robinson to leave Geelong & Gold Coast FC's? Did he come to the EFC through his connections with 'Bomber' Thompson?

 

[KAYNE]

Yeah I can't seeing much come out of it really. Darcy has been pumping it up but I think this will be to get viewers. Still worth a watch but not expecting blood like most.

 

[DudleyB]

I think it will be a non-event
Anything juicy will have been left on the cutting room floor by Channel 7 legal dept.

They will be risk averse given the aggressive bluster and bravado coming form the EFC in the last two days and they know Little has deep pockets and will sue no matter what.

 

[nut]

$100k is some serious poppy

Chicken feed to someone who was on 1mill over 3 years.....

 

[coryne]

Yeah I can't seeing much come out of it really. Darcy has been pumping it up but I think this will be to get viewers. Still worth a watch but not expecting blood like most.

It will be as "hard hitting" as Oprah with Lance. They surely could have got someone more qualified than Darcy to do the interview if they really wanted it done properly ..............

 

[romeoh]

Does anyone know what lead Dean Robinson to leave Geelong & Gold Coast FC's? Did he come to the EFC through his connections with 'Bomber' Thompson?

Yep Bomber took him to Essendon because he'd worked with him at Geelong. Of course back in those days, Bomber and the Weapon were fine, upstanding citizens unlike the duped victims they became at desperate Bomberland!
GC lured him north. Then he went to Essendon at Bomber's behest is my understanding.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Chicken feed to someone who was on 1mill over 3 years.....

Also someone who will never work in their field again.

 

[DrEvil]

What do you know?

I know, or at least have heard, that he has it in for Hird who he believes leaked negative stories about him to the media.

I think this deserves a thread to discuss what may be a very interesting interview tomorrow.

Its his way of building his case for a huge payout..... he is sueing ESS for being a bad employer. His future income is now shot....
