Mega Thread David Evans Resigns

[LordLucifer]

Either way the club will get through this and win the flag next year.

You need to get out the Viagra eye-drops, stand in the mirror and take a long hard look yourself.

 

[teknodeejay]

Get stuffed mate hope you and your media farkwits are happy now.

Media?

Blame the one you call Golden. McDonalds is less artificial.

 

[Pike13]

Maybe he had a 2nd dinner, and that was the farewell one?

No, you see no one told him about the first one, just like no one told him about the substance program, no one told him about what Robinson was up to, no one told him about what Dank was doing etc al.....gees no wonder hiss health is ailing with a memory like that

 

[Vic Roads]

I have never felt more ashamed of fellow humans as I am of at this point with most of you hate filled ????? on these forums.
What satisfaction are you getting when someone has to resign due to ill health and to protect his loved ones from continual abuse and inuendo ?. I'ts like hatred that you could only witness with the KKK.
I pity most of you people, can't see past your hatred god help this country if this is what we are teaching our kids.
Like other Essendon supporters on here we are going nowhere because unlike most of you, we don't jump ship we will take whatever is coming and support OUR club through thick and thin.

 

[Zach Package]

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.

did lol, lolled at the whole thing really

 

[nut]

The only way Evans will be removed is by a vote of the Essendon members.

About as likely to happen as Melbourne winning this year's premiership.

seems that Evans has decided that he couldn't be the one that sacked James Hird.

 

[spark12]

oh so brave so brave

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

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.

Someone needs to remember that Essendon brought this on themselves, and that the boundaries they tried so hard to get around by 'doctor shopping', the morals the've shown by allowing Robson to fall on his sword for not knowing what was going on(and Robinson to cop months of speculation while being muzzled), and complete lack of conscience from the head coach who has sat and watched others cop it while he claimed that he would "take full responsibility" is not exactly going to wash with the football viewing public.

The media have been weak in some regards and sensational in others, but it is their job to find out and report just what the hell Essendon were up to in 2012. When blood hits the water(Evans) there's always going to be a fallout, and subsequent heightening of interest and intent from the media who are trying to break that next part of this story.

You might not agree that they should be chasing so hard, but this is big business, sport, it's not something that should just be fobbed off because someone puts their hand up and says "hey, I'm not feeling the best".

 

[Keys]

Media are absolute vultures but you reap what you sow.

There's no justification for badgering people who just want to be able to go about their lives. Camping outside someone's home and knocking on the door to provoke a reaction is bullshit - it would take all my resolve not to go out and belt one of them. Would not blame James hird one iota if he did

Yeah you guys just inject yourselves with some Vitamin C, and that too 50 times in dodgy offsite "clinics"

Spare us your faux-outrage. Your shame should be reserved for the humans who put your club through this mess in the first place, and used your own players as guinea pigs.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Sounds a bit like Essendons supplement program

That will be proven correct or otherwise shortly.

If it is the case, those responsible will pay.

You don't need much more proof of the football media's complete lack of decency. They're out of control, enabled by an AFL and it's reliance on the media $.

I appreciate they'll be vigorous, but again, this is footy. Sometimes they cross the line. Hunting down a sick man like he's some kind of terrorist.

It's not just us. There's other examples. FFS they purchased stolen confidential medical records of hawthorn players a couple of years back to try to get a "story". At the height of Fevs troubles, there were vultures putting cameras in his face at a local park when he was trying to spend an hour with his toddler aged kids. They routinely take advantage of football people in fragile states of mind.

The end doesn't justify the means. It's footy.

 

[MaddAdam]

Yeah, most clubs when the chairman of the board and the CEO stand down within three months, and the boss of the league is at war with the coach, bad news.

Not the Bombers though!

Keep on punching!

So being accused of taking PED's is similar to being a person that would be likely victimized by the KKK.

 

[LordLucifer]

The weapon was stood down

Why was he stood down ???

A serious question too.

 

[MaddAdam]

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

I hird he wants $5m for it.

 

[Fletched]

Why was he stood down ???

A serious question too.

because his area at essendon was being investigated

 

[teknodeejay]

I don't think people have twigged.

Evans is an a grade crook.

I reckon this goes much much deeper.

Evans the cops Kelty Demetriou.
Something just ain't right.

We need some feds to bust this right open.

The Evans name is synonymous with shady practice.

Out of all the hyperbole in this forum, this takes the cake.

Wow, what gall you have to call out people that are not concerned for Evans apparent health problems. ha.

Where is the concern from EFC supporters for the position the players were put in with regards to this 'supplements program' that was apparently a cover for an unauthorized medical trial?

I mean you want us to be concerned with Evan's health, why wasn't Evans concerned enough about his very own players to make sure that no one could exploit them as guinea pigs?
Look at yourself and your fellow EFC supporters, admin staff before you have the gall to call out someone else.

Shouldn't have cheated then - plain and simple.

You roll the dice, you pay the price.

 

[Oneiros]

Turns out it was just a big mix up.

[LordLucifer]

because his area at essendon was being investigated

And the obvious question, why was it being investigated ??

Camping his home was definitely a low point for journalism in the saga to date.
