Just wanted to add this for posterity because it is so freakin hilariously amateur

It's like when a family member passes, everyone gathers to look at faded images of the past...the scalloped edges of the b&w wedding photos tenderly ruffle your fingers, blurry figures in garish outfits from the 70's, relatives from overseas you've never met. Then there's the tenderly folded photo of Nanna that Pappa carried around with him in the war....

Screw it, did Wallis send this in to That's Life and get a $300.00 cheque for the Flight Plan?

This was interesting from whirlpool forums:

"
Please don't generalize all Essendon fans.
I have had no delusions whatsoever that they players will not be banned. They will, and they should. It's just a matter of how long. If by some miracle they do get off (hoghly unlikely) then that's just a very fortunate bonus. And for this acceptance, I get labelled "not a true fan" in some social media circles. Go figure.
Contrary to the nutbag haters in here, not all Bomber fans are tin foil hat wearing Hird cultists. Some of us just want this whole thing over and done with so they can get back repairing an extremely damaged brand. They can start by getting rid of hird and make sure he never has a job in football (let alone Essendon football) again."

I personally hope that the players do sue the club. Whether or not there was doping they let one person order, purchase and administer the supplements. That is leaving an opening for someone to abuse their position. Even without any guilty charges the players have had a torrid few years and if the club had have not had this management structure around the the supplements they would not have gone through this.
Furthermore, I would suggest that the players should sue the club for not defending them and the program more vigorously in public, which has allowed the climate of slander to intensify as dicksnaps like Caro have run around virtually unchecked."

I'm getting slightly excited....Jimmy Hird is no idiot, he wouldn't be battling for EFC (not just himself as people think) if he was in the wrong, he'd come out looking like a fool otherwise and disgrace his name for life. Hats off to you james.

Anyone that thinks otherwise I don't want to hear it.
