The madness continues.
2012 AFLPA Best Captain.
simple question: YES. yes with an exclamation mark! this is why Jobe gets all the platitudes for his pin cushion leadership. cyclists have done it for decades, it required someone from the old testament to lead the way, and that was good leadership.Do you really think leaders like Hodge, Jon Brown, Nick Maxwell, Sam Mitchell, etc would just let themselves and their team mates get jabbed continuously without even telling their player managers or their families?
Practically boasted about taking a banned drug (AOD) in the knowledge that he wasn't going to be prosecuted over it. Frankly it came across as false bravado rather than leadership.
Didnt you start all this in 2012 with your rumour ?The madness continues.
not so fastHe answered a question. Next time he should lie.
A limited hangout, or partial hangout, is a public relations or propaganda technique that involves the release of previously hidden information in order to prevent a greater exposure of more important details.[citation needed]
It takes the form of deception, misdirection, or coverup often associated with intelligence agencies involving a release or "mea culpa" type of confession of only part of a set of previously hidden sensitive information, that establishes credibility for the one releasing the information who by the very act of confession appears to be "coming clean" and acting with integrity; but in actuality, by withholding key facts, is protecting a deeper operation and those who could be exposed if the whole truth came out.[citation needed] In effect, if an array of offenses or misdeeds is suspected, this confession admits to a lesser offense while covering up the greater ones.[citation needed]
A limited hangout typically is a response to lower the pressure felt from inquisitive investigators pursuing clues that threaten to expose everything, and the disclosure is often combined with red herrings or propaganda elements that lead to false trails, distractions, or ideological disinformation; thus allowing covert or criminal elements to continue in their improper activities.[citation needed]

was the limited hangout. dont think he was not getting advice from lukin to go on the front foot and they would have his back

I dont mind them going on the front foot and refuting allegations that they are cheats. as we have seen, no one in the AFL has broken ranks. Sydney's Ryan OKeefe is the exception that proves the rule. These are pro athletes, they do what is expected of pro athletes, and that is, sublimate all agency and autonomy to be the automaton on Saturday and perform. nothing. else. matters.Heppell did exactly the same thing on the footy show in 2013, funny nobody remembers that.

The other players know it. They won't hold it against them. Malthouse will call Milne a rapist, but he wont call Jobe a cheat and a doper, because Mike and Buttifant well know from experience, how you make those sausages.
a bit of Vince Lombardy
a bit of dope
a bit of Blitzkreig
a bit of Sir John Monash
bingo, you play an affal gran final.
but, I am transparent, like Donald Rumsfeld's unknown unknowns, and known unknowns.To be honest, I think you get a little too carried away with yourself most of the time.
the supporters are indeed enablers!
The club let the players down, not Jobe. Next the supporters will be to blame because they want a flag.
He answered a question. Next time he should lie.
He appeared on TV bold as brass, knowing he was going to be asked. It was PR for the club: "We took AOD and we're not afraid of going down. Ergo, we've done nothing wrong."
Fairly pessimistic way of looking at it, I think. The public had been screaming for someone to come out and actually say something of note, and the guy came out and told the truth and was lambasted for it.
If he hadn't done the interview, he'd have been lumped in as a coward and the question of when someone would actually talk about it would've continued.
The whole thing, from start to finish, is a cant win from both sides.
He'll get lauded for his leadership - so brave - over the past two years, but when it was really needed in 2012 it was severely missing. I'm sure he has learnt a lot about leadership the past two years but let's not call him a great leader.
If he'd said "We did not take TB4", or even if he'd said "We took TB4", it would've been credible. But of all the drugs it was known were injected into the players by that stage, he was only asked about AOD. Obviously the questions were scripted, or at least agreed to beforehand.
Agree with the last bit.
He has clearly realised he's going the way of his old man hairline wise, and has taken preventative measures with his styling over summer. He aged about 10 years last summer, and wound the clock back 10 this one.After seeing his outfit which was denim on denim and his nice little haircut, makes it very hard to listen to him
