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.
This is why I left the Church. Preaching from the Pulpit. However in the spirit of goodwill may I suggest that we offer each other a sign of peace. May the lol be with you.
How many 'may the lol be with you' can we achieve?

One more point that I'm sure will draw criticism from many here, but I'm hoping Watson keeps the Brownlow, not because he deserves to keep it, but because if Trent Cotchin is awarded it and goes down in history as a Bronlow medalist, any shred of honour or prestige that the Brownlow may have will be destroyed and the medal will become a joke...

What's Cotchin done to have you so against him? if we had more players with his heart we'd be far better off . And yes I know he's gone missing in finals .
A. He plays for Richmond.
B. He possesses nothing that you would attribute to a Browlow medal winner. Nothing.

By the way, Cotchin nowhere near our best 22.

And I can't believe you say Watson should keep Brownlow they are drug cheats if Cotchin and Mitchell benefit so be it .
I never said Watson should keep it, in fact if he has any integrity at all he should've already given it back... But Theres no difference to me between a drug cheat Brownlow medalist and a second rate, pea heart Brownlow medalist...
Ideally they put a line through that year and have no winner.

Cokchin had a good year that season end of story, if they award Chaz for that year once the AFL strip JAB* then he deserves it being that he finished equal second with Mitchell, a good year is a good year, hell even a blind squirrel can find a nut every once in a while.

Think your hatred for Richmond here is in a way excusing essendons drug cheating ways? I hope your not a sympathiser of that cheating mob ?
Because not wanting Cotchin as a Brownlow medallist is excusing Jobe Watsons drug charge yes ?

My hatred for Richmond is definitely in play here. But the rest of your logic is flawed. I'm a coach, there are two things I despise in footy, losing and cheats, I think the penalties for Essendon were lenient, and the "help" they're receiving is a disgrace. I think drug cheats should get banned for life, and Watson should hand back the medal yesterday! But Trent Cotchin becoming a Brownlow medalist is a blight on the game.

Two seperate issues.

Calms people's nerves to belittle Trent when we selected an injury-prone Kreuzer ahead of him?
I'm not belittling Cothin Azul, I'm objectively describing him as a footballer... And in a million do overs, I'd pick Kreuzer ahead of Cotchin every time... In fact it's an insult to Kreuzer to even mention them in the same sentence.

Here here! Absolutely spot on I'm with every bit of that with regard to how lightly that mob has gotten out of this .But just think your a bit harsh on Cotchin . You can blame the umpires because all they see is possessions when they decide on their votes it's solely a midfielders award these days and I believe the Brownlow was a joke years ago . There's so many blights on the game it's a joke but Trent Cotchin I feel is not one of them .

We'll have to agree to disagree on Cotchin, I know some average players have won Brownlows and some legends have not, but I can't stomach Cotchin joining a list that includes Judd, Voss, Black, GAJ, Fyfe, Greg Williams, Bartel....
But I certainly respect your view...

This is basically what it should be. Who knows who would have got the votes in the games where Jab got votes.

The only thing that the AFL could possibly do thats even remotely fair is to sit all the umpires down and made them re-vote all the games that Jab got the points in... but then they would also need to be assured that they didnt give votes to any of the other drugs cheats at Essendon!

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....
I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take it any more.
