Bomber T to coach for 12 months is not a bad option.[/quote said:

Oh this is all too depressing. As someone eloquently put it in their signature:

AFL's modus operandi, Guilty until proven innocent.

As much as i would hate to see hird being replaced, If essendon can accept to loose points and draft picks for this yr and cop a fine! i think this would be a good outcome for the club, as long as hird dosent stand down!!

Let's not forget Robinson working at GC, you know, one of the 2 new AFL franchises..... hypocritical sillys they are

Yep - charge the AFL for hiring Dean Robinson to GC nonf*ckingwistanding that there were "significant concerns about the manner in which Robinson had conducted himself." Charge Channel 7 for moving forward on an interview with Dean Robinson nonwithstanding that there were "significant concerns about the manner in which Robinson had conducted himself."

But really?

Which raises the question, why haven't they?

And that's where this starts and ends for me.
It's really strange. Tim Watson said that in the parents' meeting they were told that there was no evidence any player had taken Tb4. But there has to be more evidence from Essendon to back that up because the reported circumstantial evidence for Tb4 looks incontrovertible. I don't understand.

guys, before 2011 there was no S0. So Dank had a lot more freedom with the games he played at Geelong, sadly
But just being associated with Dank and Robinson is enough to bring a Governance charge against a club, according to the charge sheet. And we're not being charged with taking illegal drugs, just governance issues.

Besides, the ACC were investigating Dank for being dodgy. No reason he would wouldn't have been any different back then, he would still have been pushing the boundaries of sports science. Only way to be sure the other clubs are/were being run properly is to investigate. ;)

Sorry Lance, but I still believe the punishment should fit the crime. Hird deserves a fair trial. What exactly has he done to justify burning him at the stake?
Nothing, & he can have his fair trail, but just do it away from the club & return if & when the time is right.

Club first
The rest second.

Its hard to argue anyone has done more for the essendon football club than James. If the club gave him up now it would destroy his love of the club that he has basically dedicated his entire life too
Plus he's got a couple of sons, hasn't he? I definitely want to see them running around in Essendon jumpers, to see them play for another team would be heartbreaking.

NLM just tweeted "Don't Give Up Before The Miracle"

And attached a picture that says "The moment you're ready to quit is usually the moment right before the miracle happens. Don't give up"

Not saying its a hidden message, but I actually really like miracles :)
Perhaps it's the miracle of the WADA appeal. :(

Is it? Chaters is hardly a reliable witness.
