No Oppo Supporters CAS hands down guilty verdict - Players appealing - Dank shot - no opposition - (cont in pt.2)

[DonsRule]

November 10th is that the confirmed appeal date for Hirdy?

Indeed it has.

 

[Dan Cooper]

November 10th is that the confirmed appeal date for Hirdy?

Correct, and it is only scheduled for a single day.

We've gone from a generic, 3 pages of foolscap and a "post it" note - to 50 pages + individualised - in the space of a couple of months? Not required by law?

Methinks they are trying to play on the "all footballers are dumb" mentality that some people have, thereby confusing them with words. Lots of words.

"gee ma, them thar pages of words dunnu look good for me. So many words it must be true".

That and it will make the foamers think along those lines too.

Burying irrelevance in a pile of information more like it.

Me thinks ASADA are shit scared that we are going to leak the evidence like a mofo once the SCN'S are reissued, as we should.

Let's play the final part of the investigation where it has been played since inception.

I have "never seen" a more "passive aggressive" use of "quotation marks" in an "essay" since I was in "high school" and attempted to "write" a "clever critique" of a newspaper "article" for a "critical response" VCE piece, and - it must be said - I heavily used "dashes as well".

This is a rank amateur piece of writing that is well and truly beneath a professional journalist, let alone the "Chief Football Writer" of the age. The author has well and truly thrown the teddy out of the cot

The title
Mark Thompson may not coach after all
should read
I was wrong and now I will throw a hissy fit

[rines]

Again I wonder who is reading this crap though.. I mean why do supporters of other clubs even care? I find it hard to believe this is what they want to read out.

I would have thought the massive TRADES going on would be more interesting.. or the fact that two clubs are still without coaches.. but no, just keep on writing about EFC.. fun.

disgraced Chief Football write Caroline Wilson is told to "get a life" according to sources.

 

[yaco55]

Seems like Richard Ings is over Caro's articles - Federal Court Hearing Nov 10 - Will a decision be made before XMAS - 2015 is looking to be a horror season.

 

[letstayunited]

Botched attempt to sack hird lmao, Caro stop making shit up

She could be the best troll ever

 

[yaco55]

So a defence lawyer Rob Stary defended licensees of adult establishments who employed an under-age person. I'm assuming that this is the same lawyer who is defending Crameri and Prismall. Gotta think the Magistrates Court is different to anti-doping tribunals.

 

[Its Manbearpig]

I think it's pretty fair to say that everyone has had their day about essendon and essendon fans, they've heard about it for the past (almost) 2 years and to be honest people are giving less and less of a **** about the whole shituation. Yes, it's ****ed up. Yes, a rediculous amount of people assumed the worst a long time ago (thanks purple, jon MAYO Ralph and footballs worst disaster caro)
What I still can't understand is no matter what one thinks, who in their right mind non-essendon supporters give a flying **** to read almost anything Caro writes (for that matter plenty of other biased one eyed supporters"reporters")
15 out of 21 articles..?! (Thanks for the count Rines)
Spells out to me and surely others too " I have nothing better to write about so I'll continue regurgitating the same old shit"
Or
" I have a serious obsession with hird / essendon and can't contain myself"

Perhaps a lethal mixture of the two.
How she has a reporters award or sadly possible several is beyond me..

Get the **** over it people.. Without any massive developments I don't get why there is new reports almost daily on the same shit or nothing..

/ rant

TL DR?; Caro is a tool, other reporters are too. People need to find more news to look at / have lost interest.

But Rines your reading them, why wouldnt she write it?

Say what you will about her, the clicks she would generate for the Age and the conversations that people would be having because of her articles is why she is still employed and why she continues to spew her bile over the airwaves and papers.

I applaud your efforts in counting her articles but you are giving them what they want. Ignore them please, you will feel better about things and they will start to realise how irrelevent they really are.

The horrifying thought that "Caro haters" need to realise that she is playing you all for fools. You are keeping her in a job, you are encouraging her and anyone like her that what they write will get attention. Everytime you link an article telling people people "look shes at it again" you are advertising their crap to a bigger audience. We all sit at our computers and laugh as we make posts about her, while they all laugh at their desks looking at how much attention they are getting.

Once again, Ignore her and any of these communications specialists that think that what they write is newsworthy. It will help you feel alot better (not reading negative crap everyday sure improves your mood in my opinion) and it will also hurt them in a way that us calling them names can never do and that is through revenue.

Barely read the age online and barely read an article by her (unless it's printed in here)
She's not worth it

 

[raskolnikov]

did he leak the story that Hird was out and he was in, and you got burnt and now you are cracking the sads?? Boo hoo.

Just wow.

 

[fishardansin]

rines there is a very simple explanation about who leaked Hird's sacking to Caro. Firstly there is only one place that Caro gets leaks from regards Essendon and that is AFL house. Secondly Robbo made a point on the day after the B&F that the AFL are informed about a sacking BEFORE it's made public.
Essendon decided to sack Hird, told AFL and told Thompson that the job was there.

Caro wrote the article about Hird going. Thompson didn't back stab Hird, he put feelers out about vacant job as it was everywhere having been told by the board and read Caro's article. Thompson's comments and the board not letting Hird go to B&F made people panic. That panic is what got people on the phone, as well as players to pressure the club not to sack Hird.

She's angry at Thompson because his comments created the situation that saved Hird.

Been overseas for two years, the facts don't seem to have changed much since the case first broke.

I'm most disappointed that it has taken so long to sort out and the club has been dragged through the mud.

It appears to me that the interests of some individuals have been placed ahead of the club and both are suffering.

I just want it all to be over before next season starts, even if it means some of our players miss a few games.

This isn't about the fans, its about the players, if the players want to fight this and it takes another 2 years, that's their right. Its not our right to tell them to finish it now.

 

[cymarak]

While I understand the sentiment, and I'm not saying the fans are all that matter, the AFL (and everyone in it, including EFC and the EFC players) disregards the fans / members / supporters at their peril.
