Mega Thread David Evans Resigns

[Zach Package]

Hird must be Next.

I completely disagree

 

[BLPC08]

Hird must be Next.

But he's innocent.....well, at least he thinks he is.

 

[maryjames]

But he's innocent.....well, at least he thinks he is.

He knows he is screwed..

 

[AlecDuncan]

Andy D's lawyers are close to launching legal action against Mark Robinson.

He's just the first.

It worked so well for Craig Thomson.

 

[Buzzasto DaSilva]

People can throw about all the "it's their job" that they like, IMO the football media in this town are a disgrace.

A once strong man has health issues due to all this, and tonight they're on Hirdys doorstep hassling his wife.

They're trying to track the bloke down even now he's left town to get some rest.

I don't give a shit what they think their job is. It's an industry wihout boundaries, morals or a conscience.

Someone needs to remind these twats they're reporting on a game.

100% agree with this.

Reporting a story is one thing, but gutter journalism is another and channel 7 clearly crossed the line tonight.

I have a bit of respect for Baker and McKenzie. Even when they post up potentially damaging articles, you know that at least they have solid research and detail behind them.

Caro, Fatprick, Ralphy - I have literally 0 respect for these guys. They blur the lines between opinion and fact and sensationalize what they write in order to maximize the impact. They hide behind "thources" and blindly follow whatever they say without doing the proper research, then when called out on it, they claim "don't shoot the messenger". They bay for blood despite not knowing the real facts, they crave seeing people sacked despite the circumstances, and they let personal vendettas influence what they say. They are garbage.

Possibly,
but in this, they have been incredibly brave, and usually, as it turns out..spot on!

Are we talking the media or Essendon here? Perhaps both.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Evans said he was stepping away for business reasons, not for health, more lies coming out of EFC and its supporters I see, nothing but a bunch of cheats and liars at EFC.

So naive

 

[lones37]

Maybe if your coach hadn't of destroyed the club by going down this path we wouldn't be here right now.

 

[AlecDuncan]

lol @ those player tweets. It's Jonestown 2.0

Media are absolute vultures but you reap what you sow.

 

[myblueroan]

Actually I think it's really sad. These are people who are fighting for the survival of their club. Having us being smug pricks is only rubbing salt into the wound. As much as they have frustrated the crap out of me for the last five months, they are only doing what each of us would do if it were our club in the spotlight.

No!!! I'd be demanding answers from my club, and I know I would not be alone in calling from resignations from greedy self serving ars#s who want ti win at any cost.
I would not be promoting those people up into sainthood ffs!!!

 

[melbournehammer]

I just don't see why people need to look beyond the statement at this time. All will be revealed shortly unless there is a massive conspiracy to cover up. Let the thing play out without dancing on the metaphorical grave of Evans.

 

[randall boner]

Wrong. It's based on waiting for the facts not choosing to sack people over conjecture

Then why is dank and the weapon gone they did no wrong apparently.

 

[HirdyLannister]

Hird throwing in the towel now would be far worst than him staying until this saga has ended.

 

[Murphkreuzmitch]

As opposed to tankers and salary cap cheats, and much much more

You realise Essendon have also been done for cheating the cap including in a premiership year...

Tanking well we were just shit...That Melbourne game Paul Bower got his first touch ran in three circles and bounced the ball over his own head...People forget how shit we actually were..

But on topic, if Evan's has suffered health concerns I hope he recovers well and can move on from this mess..Still a lot of questions to be answered but does not deserve ill health, no one Evans, Hird or players..Its just footy..

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Whatever it takes to get the story.

I get the important role the media play in our society. A lot of the time, real journalists have to do things to get their story.

Sorry you *****, but this is footy we're talking about. The ends doesn't justify the means.

It's been confirmed by several people who've spoken to Evans today that he has health issues. We know this. It's time to step the **** off for a bit. Report your story obviously, but FFS, leave the bloke and those close to him in peace, if only for a short while. To be hounding the bloke and trying to locate him a couple of hours after all this has been revealed is just basic human indecency.

 

[Gigantor]

We need some feds to bust this right open.

ARen't the ACC feds?

 

[Fletched]

Then why is dank and the weapon gone they did no wrong apparently.

The weapon was stood down

 

[Pike13]

Pretty sure the media didn't inject themselves 40 times in the stomach with a banned substance. I know I didn't.

About time you directed your rage to the source.

You reap what you sow.

Exactly.
As a North supporter, I remember back in 2002 with so many Essendon supporters dancing on North's grave over the Carey saga. And don't forgot, according to Sheedy Essendon 'would've won flags in 1996 & 1999 if they'd made it to the GF'....ROFL. So I'm just loving watching the Bombers implode and hoping that Vlad falls too. And as so many supporters have said, if this wasn't one of Vlad's chosen clubs, the AFL would've thrown them to the wolves like they did with Fitzroy in 1996. However my biggest laugh for the night was Vlad's statement on Evans:

"David has led the way over the last six months to guide the welfare of his player group and the wider club," Demetriou said.

"These are difficult and complex matters that have been investigated, through the ASADA enquiry, and at all times David has sought to discover the facts, act in the best interests of all those under him at the club and to provide leadership on a challenging issue."

Wow, so his actions were about guiding players welfare.....and again, Vlad preempts the findings of the investigation, but smacks down anyone else who dares comment. The delusion must be contagious as he's been caught lying and changing his story constantly from the very beginning. But in Vlad's bizarro world this is "discovering facts" and demonstrating "integrity"....

 

[Thrawn]

Look who's talking.

Not really. Yours is a million times worse.

 

[MaddAdam]

To borrow from Ben Franklin, they would not hang together and have so determined that all must hang separately.

And could someone tell me why on earth DawOfPromotion has been banned??

Turns out it was just a big mix up.

A bit like Essendon then? No morals, and a bunch of cheats and liars, enjoy, Essendon have no one to blame but their great Golden Hair child and their cheating club, like the old saying goes you reap what you sow.

 

[Satan]

Another big day for chief, maybe he can sell BF to news for millions so they can put a paywall on it

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

You want to generalise me as individual or class me as "your/my mob"

Once I saw the media scurrying like hyenas when Ben arrived to rehab I felt give this guy a break, he obviously uses drug to escape the mental pressure of life and the extra attention just made it worst. It would of been nice of them reporting about how he was about to have a child and is moving on with life outside football. I learnt my lesson from the Carlton saga, everyone labelled them cheat ect ect because they were offered to own upto it like everyone else but they were arrogant enough not to but after seeing what the penalties did to that club I realise no club deserved that high of punishment as it crippled them for years. My best mate is a Carlton supporter and we stopped going to games and have usually "slab of beer" bet because it was unfair what carlton had become. Up until afew years with that awesome match Essendon drew with Carlton n things are slowly going back to normal..

Well get used to it, because your club has brought the game into disrepute.

This is a fact. It doesn't matter what ASDA say they can hand in there findings.

The AFL can get you on bringing the game into disrepute rule not matter what.

Two years out of the draft would seem a good punishment for Essendon for there mismanagement of
this scheme.
