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.
I know... Essendon supporters hang plenty of shit on us for 2002 and call us out for cheating in the 95 grand final when there is absolutely no evidence to support their claims, but they constantly overlook 91-94 when their club got pinged for both systematic salary cap infringements and for draft tampering... including their 93 premiership year.
I think that it must be a guilt thing... we did it first and we did it big time... so lets hang shit on others so that we can feel better about what we did.
And for the record, if WADA is involved... there will be a thorough investigation and any player who does a Ben Cousins and shows up for the hair tests with buzzcuts will be smacked with an instant, and very hefty, fine. If the waivers actually still exist then the hierarchy at Windy Hill will all be looking down the barrels of 2 year to lifetime bans for their involvement.
And all this came about because Essendon were getting shafted by a bowls club about the redevelopment of Windy Hill and were sliding down the ladder at the same time.
