on FC Buckley was saying that he didn't know much about the supplement program at Collingwood. They glossed over that bit quite quickly.
Incorrect. He later went on to say his club uses pills and powders, if the club use injections he would make sure to be over it.

Plenty of bias on FC tonight and misrepresentations but this is not one of them. Maybe Buckley only added that to avoid controversy or something but he did clarify.

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.
100% agree.

HOLY SHITE!

is this for real!?

Shocking journalism

absolutely pathetic

ooooookayyyyyy [reaction to reading the 'article'!]

He is the kind of guy who has some funny mates. Hangs off their great jokes. And...occasionally interjects during the banter with something (equalling the quality of his 'article') that makes the group pause, glance left & right (awkward!!), then resume the conversation slightly more embarrassed for their idiot mate. (And who invited this d!ckhead anyway? I'm sure it wasn't me!)

What a Tool

If the AFL are chasing a life ban, then why the **** wouldn't Hirdy go to court? What does he have to lose???
That is why the afl have got their cronies to turn it into a hird issue, not an essendon issue: portray him as selfish and try to get us to turn on him. I think they've picked a fight they won't win.

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

Rumours of our demise will be greatly exaggerated.

On the Shartwood topic, all these people saying that there's no AFL conspiracy, I'd like to see evidence or a compelling argument to the contrary.

What's that you say? There's no compelling argument or evidence that there is a conspiracy?

My point exactly.

If it was a red herring the denials from EFC have not been forthcoming thus far

How the **** can the deny the possibility that Dank found a drug somewhere and then decided to try it out on a few players without getting permission OR if that dude just lost it there.

This is true. There has been a lot of confirmation bias on this issue. Although it has to be said that many Essendon supporters could be accused of confirmation bias as well.

Anyone who calls themselves an Essendon person who is watching FC or clicking on her articles should be ashamed of themselves.

You're doing exactly what she's asking you to do. You're the very reason she has a career.

C'mon lads (and ladies)... IGNORE IT. You have no reason whatsoever for taking it in.

**** the AFL **** Gillon and **** Demetriou!! If we're going down the they're coming with us.
Don't think the courts will look to favourably on certain bodies leaking confidential Australian crime commission details either.

Saad didn't get done for something he injected. Not having a go at bucks, I like the way he's defended hird.

WADA code doesn't care too much about the method of use.

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).
Good effort mate, I only got as far as looking at FC on my recorded list and then hit delete. Talking Footy wasn't too bad actually. Tim was able to freely say what he knew/could without some vial piece of trash cutting him off.

Odd that 7 is more impartial in this case whereas 9 are the font of AFL-fed bile.

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.
How is it a 1yr suspension if he can never coach again - that's a life ban which is crap
