It's taken four years and five days, but dicks in blenders...

All I know is that if it ever genuinely got to the point where the saga was affecting my relationship with my fiancée then I'd hope I'd slap myself upside the head and if I lacked the introspection to do so, I'd hope she would do it herself, before the situation becomes irretrievable.
It ain't healthy.
Agree. But look at it the other way - when you're in a bad relationship already and the only joy you get in life (or so it seems) is the footy, then you can see why the relationship breakdown could be attributed to the footy - although in reality the issues were there in the first place.
wait, you'd rather stick your dick in a blender then re live it? I think you have won some sort of masochist's award.would rather stick my dick in a blender then re live the past 4 years
So McDevit resigns one week, Fitzpatrick the next...
Rumour has it Dank paid some hush money late last year and unheard from since...
Elaborate pleaseI guess you could also add to those rumours by saying this is all happening pretty much immediately after a change of Federal Sports Minister.
There's also been some seriously weird stuff going on in the last few days around John Wylie, Fitzpatrick's very close mate and a very mysterious but central figure in the supplements saga.
Elaborate please
I'm not critical of it. I'm just not interested in reading it.Too many are critical of Edward's book - It also contains an interview with Zaharakis and Dodoro, so its covering different parts of the club.
Just because you haven't read or seen something doesn't mean you can't be critical, surely bigfooty has taught you thisI'm not critical of it. I'm just not interested in reading it.
LITTLE:
We had to try and bring some mediation, negotiation, settlement to this thing. And every single issue that I agreed on with Gil McLachlan, and I met with him the other night, has pretty much been reversed now in this note here.
So I’m not sure there’s a lot of point of ... Ray and I both agree we should have one more attempt - and it’s pointless doing it with McLachlan, but probably needs to be (Andrew) Demetriou - one more attempt of trying to understand what’s in their head. What they’re really trying to achieve.
But I think in the meantime we just push as hard as we can legally now. As hard as we can.
HIRD: I think if you read Caroline Wilson’s article you get a pretty good idea of what’s in their head. It’s almost exactly what’s happened right now.
CORCORAN: It’s happened all the way through.
So if motivation in leaking the tape was not to make the four look good then it must lie in the ongoing quest for redemption along with the now hopeless and always irrelevant quest of revenge against the so-called AFL enemy.
But the refusal by the quartet headlined in the meeting to accept responsibility for the most damaging drugs program inflicted at a sporting club in Australia's history overrides all that. And it appears that all four have continued the defence of finger pointing — not only at the AFL but each other.
Surely the only path forward is to stop looking back.
Those who allowed this to happen should be so ashamed of themselves that any personal grievances remain red herrings to what they put their players through. And the side issue in the form of a push for a parliamentary inquiry smacks of an attempt to rewrite the key facts of the club's dreadful recent history.
