Like I suggested earlier.. If Essendon get done for off the record injections, they arn't anywhere near the first team to get them.

Like I said earlier, I hate the 'Dons.. But I don't want to see them get destroyed over pathetic shit like his.

Could this get any more amateurish?

FC got the work experience kid to stop Paul Little on his way out from the commission. Looked like he was about to soil his pants with some of the questions.

Think Paul felt a little sorry for him and gave him a few answers then walked off with a smirk.

and to think that this story is 12 pages more worth than the federal election, 14 pages more worth than the boat people crisis, hell, murders and rapes happen daily and we get fed this saga daily.
It's a reflection of how passionate we are about the club and Hird. They want to knock us over, but we're still standing. A lesser club would have grovelled up to Vlad in submission and licked his boots months ago. We're not like that, we have pride.

Thats nice mate, now how about you respect our board rules and argue that point with your other fellow supporters in HTB, then you might get a tiny smidgen of how we all have felt for months...

Terrible form from our club seemingly accepting the loss of premiership points.

If we've placed the importance on protecting draft picks that for all we know could wind up as duds, over our reputation as being the only team to ever be barred from finals/stripped of points, I'll be pissed.

I hope we don't seriously accept this bullshit "agreement".

Tall Poppy Syndrome.
Yes definitely an element of that.
But it is more. There is an ugly side of human nature that likes to think the worst of people.
I've made this comparison before, but it is like what happened to Lindy Chamberlain. People were happy to assume the worst about her, without justification, and even the police and the courts swallowed it, and concocted a case against her.
This is less of a life and death subject, and is being conducted in the dictatorship that is the AFL, rather than the courts. Throw in a bit of club animosity towards Essendon and its goldern boy, and the vicious nature of Demetriou towards anyone that crosses him, and you have what we are seeing.
People can be real ugly.

I am trying to make sense of today - Are we saying, that the AFL doesn't want EFC to allow Hird to resume in his job in 2015, after his 12 months suspension ?

If true the AFL has lost the plot !
No they are still going for the 1 year suspension, however he can never coach again if he accepts. We also won't be charged of taking banned substances, however we cannot play finals because we cheated.

Which is exactly the questioned I asked.

Has the world gone crazy ?

I think this will go to court !

Well, I have had enough. I watched Talking Footy tonight and recorded Footy Classified. I have got to say, I actually enjoyed Talking Footy. Impartial, nonprejudicial opinions all round that understand/consider/listen to opposing opinions. Footy Classified, 2 minutes in and I had to turn it off. Never have I seen a more deliberate attempt at slanderous propaganda in my life. I would gladly wear a large fine or jail term if it meant giving that horse a black eye (too far? yeah probably).

@antsharwood I think UV rays hitting your bald head fried your brain. An 8 year old could write a better article than that. You are a joke.

@notorious_steve ah, a bald sledge. Haven't had one for minutes. Which of your physical imperfections would you like me to lampoon?

I find it funny tries to take the high road about physical imperfections when he wrote an article on Bill Gates' haircut. My point wasn't even about his hair deficiency, I know he can't help it.
Shocked that his article is published online by the Herald Sun, if it is in print tomorrow's paper then there will be backlash. The content is similar to what you would find in a bigfooty bay13 forum..

Unless you'r a Caro lover people will switch over and start watching Talking Footy.

FFS just take it to court EFC. **** the other clubs, it's time to make a stand for what's right. Unless the AFL have solid info that ASADA will hand out infractions to players if we don't make a deal, then they can GAGF!

Caro's latest article, she is so pleading for us to take a big hit...





Funny Eddie didn't sound that way on AFL360 tonight. That last quote especially really shows her desparation. Really no better than some of the long time HTB trolls.
Very desperate.

It's not just the double bluff thourthes that Caro has a grudge about.

Was watching FC with my wife. Some whiles back my wife (non bomber :oops:), asked me why I thought the media had it in for Hird (I had said as much). I told her the media hate being wrong and that there is a paradigm on how the perfect coach should be selected. (I guess it makes it easier for them to tell us that Paul Roos will/won't be getting the job)

According to their rules in 2010 Essendon was a rabble, sacking coaches, nepotistic etc and it couldn't work out, what with Hirdy untried and all. Then it turned out he could coach. Very well actually. Turns out our supposed rabble of a club had made the right call, employed a potentially great coach and provided structures to make an unpopular idea work. They hate it.

Caro made comment tonight about Voss, Buckley & Hird, and how Nathan had done his apprenticeship.

My wife just looked at me, she knew the TV was about to cop another verbal barrage. Then I put Timmy on. I like Timmy.

My theory is simply that non-Essendon people don't have anything to lose in this saga, and so they don't have the motivation to fully understand the issues from both sides - many of them are happy to go with whatever opinion the media provides them with, especially if it aligns with and reinforces a pre-existing dislike of Essendon / Hird.

I would be furious at EFC/Little if they agree to penalise the club alone from the individuals will basically hang them out to dry for the AFL screw, an it's got nothing to do with Hird. You just don't treat people who you backed their operations/running/judgment of the club in 2012 then throw them to the wolves because you want to receive lesser sanctions.
