How good was Fitzy's slap-down of Slobbo's shit question?

Are the AFL going to investigate themselves now because of the leaks?

Hmmmm...interesting....no.

WTF is taking away their 1st & 2nd round picks in 2014, but giving them a pick at the start of the 2nd round about?
The AFL scrapped their second pick in 2014, yet downgraded their first round pick to after the first round. THEY say 2014 looks like it will be a good draft. Essendon could get the next Darling or Fyfe after pick 17. Pathetic.

So they get taken their 1st and 2nd round picks for 2 years but the AFL has kindly handed them pick #19 in 2014? :confused:

What's that about. We take away but will slip a little something back? Go figure.

Must have been some serious haggling on Essendons* behalf.
Do you really think any of the 17 clubs will trade with them if the ASADA investigation hasn't been completed. And the AFLPA & Worksafe are still looking at them. And lets not forget that their is a potential the players could get out of their contracts and leave.

Memo to all Essendon supporters:

There's no evidence because your club failed to keep adequate records. Your club has accepted responsibility for that so time to move on!! This has gone on long enough! I can't believe Essendon supporters think their club and officials are above the game! When Carlton were found to be cheating the salary cap, I wanted blood! Somebody to pay for hurting our club! It amazes me that some Essendon supporters cannot see that! You're lucky your players have been exonerated given nobody knows if they are doped up or not!! Disgraceful!!

Well its the biggest sanction in history,

.
Back in the day, North Under 19's were the greatest junior team in history, won every game one year in the late 70's, early 80's, anyhoo, they had a bloke called John Fraser, who they'd poached from Geelong???, and played, technically as an unregistered player.

They lost all their points.

It has happened before.
