Whatever the alleged drug controversy is/was it clearly did not enhance performance, so end thread

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Boy, Zach really wants to get out of that club..

We can't take a trick.

We tell the players to take drugs and we get in trouble.

We tell the players to not take drugs and we get in trouble.

That's what it comes down to.

I think the charges will be that they haven’t taken enough

Classic footy trip punishment. Love it

 

[The Blue Max]

Imagine a group of players running to the AFLPA because they were told they shouldn’t get on the gear on their break!

That whole list is an entitled bunch of sooks

 

[randyzany]

That's what it comes down to.

Let him but send him to either one of North/Melbourne for better picks. I can't imagine why emphasising that illicit illegal drugs are bad is something reprehensible. Why would anyone leak such info and think it would reflect badly on Essendon? No wonder the Bombers are struggling on the field, too much partying off field and not enough honing of footy skills, you know what they're paid handsomely to do, it seems.

Sounds pretty badass behaviour that sooks wouldn't have the minerals to attempt

Oh? I didn't realise you could force players to go to a club they don't want to go to.

Oh that's right, you can't.

 

[The Blue Max]

Escalation, is my business!

Lucky it's not posting gifs.

Did I say that? If he is that hellbent on leaving he should be amenable to those alternatives otherwise let him rot at the Bombers.

In other words call his bluff. He hates being at the Bombers that much here are you're options, put up or shut up so to speak.

 

[The Blue Max]

Lucky your opinion is worthless.

 

[Beerfish]

Did I say that?

Yes unless you meant something else by this:

Hi kettle.

 

[Hollow Knight]

This has Zach Merrett leak written all over it.

Ordinary bloke.

 

[randyzany]

Yes unless you meant something else by this:

I guess it depends on what he wants more: to leave Essendon or go to Hawthorn. Hate how players want to eat their cake and eat it too, can't have everything on their terms. If he utterly despises being at Essendon than he should be open to options that are more palatable to Essendon to make it happen. Just demanding one club is ridiculous as far as I'm concerned.

I agree but it's the world we live in atm. He'll never agree to go to a club the same or worse off than us. He wants success and he wants it now and he thinks he'll get that at Hawthorne.

Couldn't agree more. It's like players saying they need to move back to their home state.

Player- "I need to get back home to WA"

West Coast- "Ok we'll have you"

Player- "Oh, no, not to you thanks"

Everyone is on the e's at essendon
