The killer in all of this, and I pray it's not a typo, is that an official has implicated the club with the waiver business. This goes all the way to the top, and quite frankly Essendon are rooted.

"A former Essendon official has confirmed to Fairfax Media in recent days that players were asked to sign waiver forms pertaining to treatment they received. "

Thought I'd read the the Essendon forum for a laugh but this is no rap on the
knuckles affair. Some of the worst case scenarios they are throwing around are frightening. There is no team that makes my blood boil more than the Bombers and their fans, but we could see half a playing list banned for two years. Staggering possibilities!

Feel sorry for them? Most of them have been pooncing around for so long as if their shit don't stink .

They continually label us as cheats, yet their club wrote the book on salary cap cheating & then tried it again with Jameshird.com & Matthewlloyd.com.

And don't get me started on how the media have given them an armchair ride for so long. Kevin Sheedy or James Hird could have murdered Bambi & served her up on a plate with frozen veg & home brand tomato sauce & still got a nomination for a Nobel Peace Prize for their effort.

As for the pleasure many Essendon supporters derived from Carrots' injury last year. They showed true class, or lack thereof following that incident.

I don't remember receiving any sympathy from Essendon supporters when Ron Evans did his best to kill off our team. Yes we broke the rules & had to be punished, but that scumbag Evans took the opportunity to stick it right into us out of hatred for our club. Watching David Evans squirm at today's media conference was priceless. Hey David, that bus that hit you today was the Karma Bus.

Nah, I don't feel sorry for that lot at all. The message I have for them comes from that talented wordsmith, Daryl Kerrigan, "suffer in your jocks!"

Healy said the entire club could be banned from competition for 2 years. The integrity will be shot to pieces and they'll miss out on the annual belting we give them.

I am, but mind you, I wouldn't have toned down that post much if I was still a Mod. I normally don't give a damn about other AFL clubs, but the Bombers have been getting away with crap for way too long.

Healy claimed on 3aw that, according to his sources, in addition to the Bombers, things look pretty bad for another club as well. I just pray to God that it's not us. I am sure our club has learnt its lessons from blatantly cheating the system.

Gut says the AFL are the Bombers are going to try and the pass the buck to the fitness gurus who put the players on this substance. It's hard to see the AFL suspending an entire playing list. Demetriou's **** buddies at the AFLPA would lose their shit. Assuming they're guilty, my tip is a big fine, loss of picks and a few high profile sackings outside of Golden Boy and Bomber.

It would be fairer (or funnier) if they banned the Bombers from playing for premiership points like the Storm.
