SALADA/VladFL: Slap on the wrist. - STRICTLY ESSENDON SUPPORTERS ONLY

[red+black]

Dean Wallis .. nuff said

 

[ollieemcdowall]

**** lifting, he boxes.

Paul little vs demetriou cage fight til the death!

 

[cymarak]

So, version 1 of the 'grounds' says we took banned drugs.

Version 2 says no such thing.

Which one does the AFL believe ?

 

[EnolaGay]

Tomorrow could be a watershed moment in AFL history...or not, just my guess.

I think you'll be found to be 100% spot on

 

[OzBomber]

Oh and this version seems a little more realistic yes?!!

But probably wouldn't make for such juicy reading huh?!

Wait, so they deleted the other 130+ points, or just changed parts of the first two points?

 

[Kakkle]

This needs to play every time Paul Little walks into a press conference.

 

[fishardansin]

It is my belief that Hird has the respect and confidence of the President of one of them.

The other was also, at some point, attacked doggedly by the AFL over a supposed 'drug culture' that they had apparently cultivated, which they still refute on the basis that 'individuals were acting on their own'

So Collingwood and West Coast. If Adelaide can side with Essendon then the AFL has the four most powerful clubs to contend with.

Did someone say break away? Having 10 powerful clubs distributed properly across the southern states that can financially prop up two teams in the north is the best way to equalise the comp ... not to mention a fair draw where everyone plays each other twice.

Wait. What about North?

Yes there is some subtle but serious difference between the charge sheet's Statement of Grounds.

Really silly move by the AFL releasing the wrong one.

This quite plainly needs to go to court.

 

[NoIdea]

Are we moving to the Gold Coast Tasmania?

Oh God yes, please....

 

[The Dustbin]

The funniest thing about this is how the uneducated are including the sequence of events as part of the charges - magically coming up with 100+ charges.

 

[threeleggedgoat]

god i'm going to bust a load all over so many people's faces when this is all done and dusted.

Look at it this way.

In October 1896, the club was not happy with the way the VFA was being run.

Got together with the next biggest club at the time (Geelong), called a meeting... invited six other clubs... and created what we know now today as the AFL!

 

[Eleven 38]

I ****ing love this club.

 

[Don Won]

Screw with the bull you get the horns.

All or nothing now.

 

[DONatron]

Gotta love how Channel 7 do not mention that the report released by the AFL was amended and there is a second copy that the club has put up on the website. NOT!!!

PROPAGANDA MESSAGING THIS IS AT ITS FINEST

 

[Westlo]

Don't think Collingwood would side with Essendon imv with this case.

From the AFL's own charge sheet, 2 employees at Essendon believed they were on TA65.

Yeah, like that holds any weight when it's from Dean "The cops raided Hirdy's house, thanks for the 120k" Robinson. Eddie's not stupid.

 

[Doss]

ESSENDON POSTERS ONLY, PLEASE.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Matt Finnis not happy

Didn't hear what he said as i stepped out for a bit but i be mega pissed if he's trying to turn the players away from the club.

THat would be Eddie.

Considering he was chatting about he and HIrd drinking wine during one of Caro's rants a few weeks ago.

I love an eachway bet

They deleted the other poorly written, unproven and slanderous 130+ points.. basically they were essentially unsubstantiated crap that would be shot down faster than a turkey on a turkey shoot.

Oh.. and the ASADA investigation is ongoing.. thus still BOUND by an 'on going' privacy clause.. and yet, what is this, confidential information FROM the investigations printed for all the word to see... hmmmm thanks AFP!

 

[Stormin10]

Finnis grandstanding stating the bleeding obvious when it comes to looking after players welfare however crossed the line IMO when he intimated EFC were guilty of the allegations.

 

[rines]

Basically that 'charge sheet' is the ENTIRE AFL case.. that is now released into the public space without the individuals or club having a chance to rebut/defend the charges. Really professional and legal.. NOT.

I'm not saying new league.. but hey I did mention new league last week didn't I?

 

[Jab]

ESSENDON POSTERS ONLY, PLEASE.

It's festival time.
