I'm sure there have been others.

Sheedy has had a few sly digs, he's not impressed. so you can add GWS.

Fortunate for Essendon that JK is no longer Hawthorn President.

 

[rumply]

Carries a bit of baggage does Swan, petty individual, not that he is alone.

 

[Baldur]

I think we can take it for granted that every club is pissed at Essendon. Some are media shy and will never say so. But pissed they are.

James Brayshaw was seen lobbing marshmallows at a Essendon Nursing home, kept yelling for Fletcher to come out and face the music.

Demetriou on Footy Classified ch 7 last night the 9th September 2013 when he was told what Greg Swan had said , Demetriou stated Essendon DID NOT CHEAT , they bought the game into disrepute.

LOL. Yep, and Melbourne didn't tank either.
Disrepute is a much nicer word isn't it?

Hey
Tassie Dog and SBYM ... how are all your scandals going in your clubs ?
If your club is clean and void of scandals do please comment and that goes to anyone else from other clubs as well.

To what do you refer?

Well, we've just come through the 'Was Nick Duigan's sandwich from Subway or was it home-made Affair?'...and MM is still hunting down the bloke who forgot to tell Mitch about punching the ball through the goals from a ball-up.

Hopefully, from here on in we can look forward to our match Sat night, and after that, a trouble free summer.

As a member of a club that handles its problems internally, qucikly and to the satisfaction of the AFL, I resemble that.

Like it or not the EFC have had their papers stamped as drug cheats. Everyone knows and accepts it except their foamer brigade.

Stategy, The last scandal the Bulldogs had was when Mick Malthouse got angry at the Hawk for being carried out of the Footscray Disco early on Friday morning.

Cheating the salary cap or sending our players off site for experimental substances isn't something that could be considered due to financial constraints.

 

[Number42]

Isn't it obvious they cheated everyone knows it.

 

[Big Bryza]

Geez you don't know how this is done do you.

Swann said something that the peasants on the HTB agree with; therefore he's right.

Demtriou said something that doesn't help the sobbing masses here - therefore he's being evasive.

Hird is a cheat. There are no 2 ways about it. Just a dirty rotten cheat and his 12 month 'holiday' says so.

Libba and his illegal drugs , u forget that did you , selective memory ?
Was he banned for months by the AFL ? Did youe club lose points , get fined etc . no ?

Gold.

A kid barely out of his teens and with a shiteload of cash does drugs and winds up smashed...

A club run by grown men with decades of experience in such matters fails miserably in its governance, resulting in unknown substances being injected into its players....

Do go on....

 

[evo]

This is the CARLTON guy right? The high integrity organization of the AFL known as carlton?

That's the reality of where Essendon now stand in the eyes of the wider footballing community. Even Carlton can call you cheats and most people will nod sagely in agreement.

ok , how about a famous player figure at the Dogs who had an affair with a teammates players partner. He the famous player was allowed to stay at the club and the player whose partner had the affair was not given an extension at the club .. he wasnt as good a player as the famous player .Thats not a good culture , is it ? I know their names.
Stacks more but i just cant be bothered , seriously all clubs have scandals , not 1 club is clean

Big difference between shit behaviour that is considered shit behaviour in any level of society and a systematic doping (sorry supplement) program that has no consideration for the rules, the competition or the players safety.

Actually I didn't think of that. I think our definitions of a scandal vary widely.

After our scandal we still managed to retain our coach, president, ceo, sports scientist, football manager, points etc.

Edit: I forgot draft picks........Anything else?

And we haven't even seen the final ASADA report yet.
Hilarious reading all of the Essendon deflection in this thread.

The main difference is that Carlton supporters accept that we cheated and deserved the get whacked by the AFL.
And even now 10+ years on we're still called cheats. Essendon supporters better get used to having this supplements scandal hanging over their heads for years and years.
