That negligence is enough for his head because he has given his trust to a guy with a dodgy reputation and this has now screwed his club and the players. I can't see how sacking administrators is the answer when those who implemented, oversaw and approved the program are still there.
Agree. But lets just wait until the case is over before we tie the noose

No need.

Even if AOD gets the green light after the fact (not because of preparation before otherwise we would have seen evidence of approval by now) given the damage to the brand, the damage to the players reputations and the shit the club has been through, those two should already be out. Lets now beat around the bush. The only reason they are not looking for work is that they are 'club legends'.

Furthermore, I think part of the part of the punishment should be every player on their playing list must pack on 10kgs and relose it naturally before the club is even eligible to play again : not sure if serious look:

Sunshine, you're doing way too much defending to be anything other than supportive of the man who has brought shame upon your football club.
I called Hird negligent mate, and i'm not okay with that. But of course i'm going to be supportive of my coach unless he's proven guilty of something more sinister

At best I believe it would be wilful negligence, but more likely it was a deliberate plan that Hird approved of to gain an advantage. The only reason it came unstuck was because of Dank being implicated in the ACC investigation and that led to *Essendon.

What are you on about? This is my opinions on the matter. I know that no one from those authorities reads anyones dribble on here


The North board is the peoples forum and therefore the cultural centre of the AFL.

Presidents, players and coaches read and post on this board.

been thinking about the *essendon situation and our season is not over yet if it goes down as most think it will *essendon will be booted from the finals and one would imagine 9th would move up
If we finished 9th and qualified for finals on this basis it would hardly be cause for celebration.

On the other hand, if it resulted in *Essendon "out", North Melbourne "in", well, that's cause for a satisfied grin.

Pretty sure that if you left it on OTC, you'd have seen the same thing. Particularly the deluded flog in the *Essendon polo shirt.
I thought about this today and the irony...glad you picked up.

Could have been 'Breaking Bad'....o_O

Anywho, what is your avatar. It kills me everytime I see it!

Good lord - Gerard Healy on Sports Tonight going on about how yes, Jobe may very well be deemed to be an illegal drug user but in his eyes he will never be classed as a drug cheat o_O

Every coaching department are looking at gaining the edge over the opposition. There are emails from Hird to Dank stating I don't care what you use just make sure it is legal and won't harm the players. It appears negligent from Hird and deceitful from Dank
There is also a letter from Dr Reid to the football dept...........oh wait!!

I posted this today on the *Essendon board under the heading "Bendigo Gold".

"Firstly let me say very sad the way things are developing with the Asada investigation. Who would have thought Jobe would have been involved?

Anyway the Gold seem to be struggling on field so maybe if the penalties are too harsh, the Bombers might merge with them next year, reactivate the Bendigo Bombers, seek admission into the AFL, playing home games in Bendigo. No doubt a few current Bomber players should help lift the onfield performance of the new club.

Good luck with it all."

For some reason or other it got deleted. Also got a warning message. Can't think why. I thought I was being very sympathetic and suggesting solutions all in the one post.

I'd like to see a mash up of Tim Flogson's comments over the past 6 or whatever months. With each new revelation he stoops to a new low with his righteous, cool, calm, yet clearly deceitful attempts at a cover up. It's sickening to watch on as he treats us like a bunch of *******s and gets by with no one honourable enough to call him out.
Scum.
