Anyone else expecting to see Middleton in a corporate box on Grand Final day?
and my personal favorite

Don't let the media burn their words into you. Most likely hird was getting his business degree to help take the club to a new level, his negotiating skills have got us some awesome players already, it's uneducated to want his head for this typical human behavior is to find someone to blame and scapegoat them

There is no way this is over by March 2015. None.

This won't be over until every single player on the list in 2011 has retired and probably even then we will still hear about it any of them, through he law of nature, get sick ever...

The 'saga' long ceased to be about what did and didn't happen.. it has its own life support systems now.. it is a self sustaining entity. It will never end. The question will be how much better our club and players become at handling it. Obviously it will get easier as time goes on and more of those players move on, the fresh boys coming in will find it annoying but not alarming.

We will never know more 'truth' than what we already know. EFC ran a safe, legal program that pushed the boundaries. There may be a risk that Dank went outside the program guidelines to maybe administer a handful of injections that may have been different to what was specified and they may have been banned. However short of Dank saying "yep I switched out the drugs and doped players" we will never be able to transport ourselves back in time and test the liquid in the needle.

Any benefit that a player derived from the 'program' has well and truly since lapsed as it was unlikely the benefit was even there, let alone would still be present three years later. As to the potential for 'long term health risks'.. there are none. not even if they were given TB4. There are no increased health risks automatically even for a 'banned substance'. A substance can be banned because it enhances performance, not because it is 'dangerous'.

Playing a high intensity contact sport is the risk factor for these players and most of their long term health issues will be created by arthritis, joint pain, repeated concussions and other known side effects. They will not be alone with these risks.

We will never find a 'truth' because there is no truth to find. There were mistakes made and mainly by people well and truly after the supplements stopped being administered.

Well said EFC, handled with DIGNITY AS ALWAYS
:$:$:$:$:$:$:$:$:$:$:$:$:$:$:$:$:$:$:$:$:$:$

No one is guilty till proven guilty, and to this date, every test our players have taken have shown as NEGATIVE!!! (inside info here)
So, why the hell is everyone saying we are guilty when ASADA's own tests have not come back with a positive result. Show us the residence (?) ASADA that Essendon players took it...show us the positive results. If no test shows as positive, then CASE CLOSED! You can not charge a person without definitive evidence. PERIOD!
**** me they're a bunch of morons

Pretty sure that was that Jobe Watson flog.
It's the one-in-a-million Essendon supporter who is actually intelligent and high-minded I feel sorry for. Being associated with these mindless neanderthals must be a soul-destroying feeling. Like other cults, many are born into it and never given the freedom to choose for themselves.

Breaks my heart to think of all those countless Australians who could've become fine upstanding citizens had they not been saddled with the Essendon supporter tag at birth. So many lives needlessly ruined.

Truth is always the best laugh:

After the August hearing:

"
Little said Essendon would not speculate on the outcome of the trial, but the club received a "very fair hearing and our legal team did very well".
When asked about the importance of the hearing, he replied: "This is terribly important. In our mind we have to be satisfied that the process was legal and that will be determined by the judge."

Glad you were satisfied gremlin. Also glad my membership doesn't fund my presidents fascination.

This is the best one yet :thumbsu:

I think the judge was bought.

We exposed the corruption within the AFL and, to an extent, ASADA in their dealings with us... pretty obvious the extended that corruption to Middleman.

Essendon and James Hird are the only ones with any morality in this entire saga.
