Sorry coach. But I strenuously object*

Cotchin was one of the league's leading players that year. Is an absolute champion player? No. Was he very good that year? Yes.

Rather that than a cheat...


* watched A Few Good Men Recently.
"I strenuously object" is that how it works??
"Objection.... Overruled... No no no, no I strenuously object" oh, well if you strenuously object, then I should take some time to reconsider.....

I watched it recently too ferris, how good is it !

Even Titus is here to help.

Clever article. It's funny (and sad) because it's true.

EDIT: Here's a snippet (but you should read the whole thing)...

Problems with WADA:
  • The WADA code was designed for individual, not team sports. It encourages personal responsibility. AFL players and personal responsibility don’t mix
  • Because of WADA, Brendon Goddard is the captain of an AFL club
  • WADA is independent of the AFL and therefore cares more about anti-doping than AFL revenue

Bizarre that Titus Godwins himself over n*** plunder. :oops: Montreal is fine, feel free to roam the streets speaking Australian English - it's just Canadians they're tetchy about.

thylacine60 I don't think this bad boy is going to make it to 1000 pages before round one.

If only everyone would maintain the rage and continue to proclaim their indignation.

The post count will take care of the rest....
Don't worry dude...we're all just enjoying the show.
Essendon keep messing up the charade..
The supporters keep providing the lols..
Goddard is captain.. Say no more :rainbow:

It's Sunday, and therefore another day to religiously denounce Essenstain and everything they stand for.

We should also give thanks. For all the lols they're provided and continue to provide. With so much to feel bad about in the world, it's encouraging to at least have this to bring something to feel positive about.

I realise I'm very late to the party on this, but I only just watched the AFL 360 special on the Essendon decision...
And I know I'm in the minority here, but I think Gill McLachlan handled himself quite well. He's not strong and he doesn't strike me as a powerful leader, but he was measured and balanced during the interview. I know most people here dislike McLachlan but given his position and the circumstances, I'm not sure he could've spoken any better on the matter...And as far as that moron Robbo is concerned, Gill treated him like Cesar Millan treats a yappy dog. Robbo was an embarrassment and humiliated himself with his complete lack of professionalism and knowledge...
Gerard Whately is a first class interviewer and should be applauded, Robbo needs to give the game away and get a job as an indoor plant.
My girlfriend has zero knowledge of the two, but she was astounded when I told her that Robbo was a journalist. She just assumed he was a drunken fan that they pulled in out of the audience. He was a rambling mess.

That is pure gold! Given the evidence she had, your girlfriend is extremely perceptive...
