Mega Thread David Evans Resigns

[Shatterpoint]

Essendon fans actually think this is just a media beat up, because you know we are all jelly about Essendope.

 

[LeverPuller]

I do !!

This is systematic and deeply planned cheating of the highest order and it was just stated on SEN that the Weapon will be telling the footy world in his interview on Monday night that Hird was the instigator of the supplements campaign.

I have no sympathy whatsoever for the EFC (or any club for that matter) who goes down this path.

I genuinely hope they are taken to the cleaners so hard that it takes them a decade to recover, they need to be severely punished and a deterrent established for the other clubs.

This.

This is far, far, far worse than tanking, salary cap cheating or anything else.

Alberto Contador got thrown off the cycling world tour for a trace amount of a masking agent that was apparently in a piece of contaminated meat. For two years. This is a systemic campaign of cheating that rivals the worst of the Tour de France stuff in its scope, and should be handled as such. It seems to involve illegal human experimentation of drugs as well as aiming to use performance enhancing drugs, as well as lying to players about it.

Drop the hammer. 2 years. If they survive after that and come back, so be it. But 2 years should be the ban. Cycling teams were disbanded over it. Assuming it's as bad as it seems they deserve everything thrown at them.

 

[MaddAdam]

So the weapon is going to come out and admit to working with dank to cheat with PEDs.......good luck with that

I reckon he just might you know.

In the Supreme Court of Victoria.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Cotch and Mitchell better get their chas speeches ready

 

[Zach Package]

Yes. You are in an awesome place.

in terms of membership, facilities, sponsorship, bloody hell we are.

Remember the ziggy report everyone was frothing about? this is the byproduct, bottom line is the chain of command was up the whazoo, there were other 'governance issues', and checks and balances clearly weren't done. That's not on Hird, that's on guys like Robson, Evans and even Corcoran and Hamilton.

I think he's a fantastic operator and any club in the league would be lucky to have him, that much should be blatantly obvious looking at how far we've come under him, but sometimes you just gotta pull the pin, even though you might not want to.

 

[AlDemonic]

Nobody with any serious business acumen would touch that job unless they were prepared to have their credibility & reputation eroded very quickly.

Agree....

 

[Stax on the mill]

Hahahaha!

Like that makes a difference on this site!

That's not fair. I would have to say that in the main the comments from non Essendon posters in this thread have been extremely balanced and even handed. To claim otherwise is totally untrue.

 

[Hawkers]

A good man goes down. The physical and mental toll he has been going through and the scrutiny and hammering by all towards Essendon and it's officials isn't worth it being that his role for the club is an unpaid one.

Yep, the one guy that should stay goes and the one who really needs to go carries on in his arrogant delusion

 

[Thrawn]

Wow, what sympathy. Bet youre disappointed he's not in ICU

He brought this all upon himself. Can't say I feel much sympathy!

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Robinson will come out on Monday and say Hird drove teh entire programme

 

[mxett]

I reckon he just might you know.

In the Supreme Court of Victoria.

And destroy his own reputation for being one of the administrators..

 

[swan14]

Ah so it was the old Judas hug of death last night.

Agreed.

Drop them and bring back the Roys

 

[Silvagnis]

No. Stress related lost 10kgs in the first 3 days after the club self reported.

And Eddie was worried about Mick's health in regards to coaching.

Right.

 

[mxett]

He brought this all upon himself. Can't say I feel much sympathy!

So you applaud his health concerns? Speaks volumes

 

[blackshadow]

It's all the media's fault, fogdog said so (and most of the clowns on the Essendon circus thread agree).

LOL

 

[HirdyLannister]

Yep, the one guy that should stay goes and the one who really needs to go carries on in his arrogant delusion

If your referring to Hird this isn't the thread for that to be discussed but I didn't realise we are in August and the report has been released.

 

[nut]

And destroy his own reputation for being one of the administrators..

You reckon Robinson cares about his reputation that has been shot by the ESS football club???? I'd say he is pretty angry about what has gone down and what he has been blamed for, when others are at fault.

 

[Ferdinand Lewis]

Oh dear. 5 months of front page news but no stress

boss of a club of cheats

does he not deserve the stress?

 

[Shatterpoint]

Yes lets all have sympathy for a club that has cheated and has run a full blown program to cheat, yes we should all feel sorry for them, Essendon FC need to be de-registered.

 

[TheSunGod]

It was either him or Hird and Evan's ain't no fortunate son.

There's a bad moon on the rise for Hirdy too methinks...

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Looking forward to the Coll Ess game next week. Its a twilight game, which considering the situation Essendon is, has a touch of irony. Will be interesting to see who Essendons coach is.

 

[rose jam]

I think Vlad may have tipped him off again.

Any way you look at it, Essendon look like they are about to violated without any Vaseline.

Old school punishment still delivers

ROFLMAO

Could someone on Twitter explain to this gentleman that all of this is a result of those at the club and not any one else.

 

[FuManchu]

Just got back from one of the worst games of my life.

But I hear the weapon is going to say Hird was the instigator of the supplements program.

Oh dear!
