I'm raging right now. If half of this is correct, fmd.
Id say you would be seeing a lot of this stuff in the near future. Bruce wants this stuff out there and from what i can tell many blitzers want this to become common knowledge. It will be pasted all over social media. Not links to their site of course but the information it contains.
As ive said before I really want to believe it was gross incompetence and negligence that has landed where we are today. Evidence tampering and threats are things that happen in movies or works of fiction. Our society is not supposed to work like this.
If Half of what Bruce says is true then I will be furious, not because of football, or some Hird vs Bomber debate, but because justice is actively being denied for monetary and political gain.
Im not sure i will allow myself to believe that Bruce is right because frankly i dont particulary want to feel how i know i would if i believed his version of events.

Amen. What I'd love to see is the same blow torch that's been applied to us turned on the other 17 clubs. RFCTiger74 is about the only supporter of another club I've seen post that they want all clubs investigated - the rest are happy for us to carry the can. It's certainly polarised my views on the other clubs and their supporters. Whilst I have no malice in my heart for them and wish no ill will upon them, should it befall them I will have no sympathy* (yes Norf flogs, the * comes afterwards, not beforehand) for them after this.

so...

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-11-26/saints-eye-exdon-for-football-manager-job

FORMER Essendon football manager Paul Hamilton has emerged as a potential candidate for the vacant St Kilda football manager job.

Hamilton is the latest to be linked to the role after leaving Essendon in September 2012 – five months before the Bombers self-reported to the AFL and ASADA about the club's supplements use that year.

interesting. Especially with Robson being at Victory. Seems once you leave EFC you're golden.

Neither Robson nor Hamilton have received any official sanction or black mark from the AFL have they ?

Neither has been charged with bringing anything into disrepute ?

Speaks well does RoRo.

The ASAGA has really brought out a lot of twats from both our side and the other.

There is no place in society for such malicious comments I remember a woman ringing 3aw and saying she hopes Hird's kids get cancer. FFS how do people get so twisted

didn't they get slapped with the wet lettuce when bomber got his $30 k fine?
I remember there being talk at the time that the AFL was going after Hird / Thompson / Reid / et al that they would supposedly subsequently go after the other 'culprits'.

But that turned out to be hot air / wishful thinking / etc.

The AFL is nothing if not pragramatic - punish those you can punish, don't worry too much about who you should punish.

Whether it's on the phone or the Internet, anonymity is the problem - people can say what they want, without any fear of repercussions.

And when people see other people voicing twisted opinions (anonymously), it makes them feel more comfortable voicing (and having) twisted opinions themselves, because they're not alone ...

The woman who made her comments about Hirds kids was applauded by those cesspool dwellers.
Good on you Rohan for your stand. personally I reckon he should have named the f'wit.

Im starting to feel more and more that people are born bad, and people who do good are the ones that are the ones who are "different"

Hamilton was far more responsible for what occurred in 2011-2012 than Hird/Thompson/Reid as:
(a) Reid's letter was on Hamilton's desk and addressed to him in addition to Hird.
(b) Corcoran was on bereavement leave for a large amount of the period in question.
(c) In the matrix management structure in place at Essendon Hamilton was directly in charge of Robinson and Dank, whereas Hird, Reid and Thompson had no management responsibilities over the sports science department.

However by the time the AFL were dealing out punishment Hamilton was working for AFL Victoria. I wonder why he was not punished*? :rolleyes:

*Not that I believe any punishments should have been dealt to EFC unless a guilty verdict had been found for doping which we are still yet to confirm.

I don't believe people are born. I believe we are all products of our environment
A child does not know someone has a disability or is different until an adult points it out

Or until they get a little older and notice that the person is different to the other people around them. We are all born with a genetic sequence that has massive impact on every aspect of who we are. Some are born with resilience to turning bad, some are born with a propensity to turning bad. Luckily, genes can be switched on and off and we can manipulate outcomes through nurture. No one who saw my two kids in their first 3 months would ever suggest that nurture is everything. They couldn't have been more different in personality and behaviour right from the first week!
