How does dirty *hirdy stay if one of their best players walks for nothing??

Is Mr "I am 100% responsible" going to take any responsibility?

Essendon star Paddy Ryder could quit the club at the end of the season with his management looking at triggering a new breach-of-contract clause that would allow him to walk as a delisted free agent.

The contracted 26-year-old's preferred alternative club is the Brisbane Lions, with his management optimistic Ryder could walk away from the Bombers because the club seriously breached its duty of care to the player.

I would expect * to challenge this in court.

It's the * way

*Donialists suggesting there's no way Ryder's people will be able to prove breach-of-contract. That being a rule that was essentially brought in to allow any player to leave *. I'd say the only proof necessary is a photo of the bloke wearing a * jumper.

As for actual breaches, * surely has an obligation to provide the player with documentation of all supplements injected into his system. That * cannot provide this will surely satisfy any reasonable authority that there has been a breach of *'s employer responsibility. Doesn't matter whether the supplements were legal or not, the fact they can't identify them is the issue here.

But of course - only too eager to please.

You went on a little sentence rant that was finished with:



When in fact much of what you wrote is actually in question.

Let's see here....



Really? I've seen suggestions and/or reports that indicate Essendon may have received illegal supplements, but I've also seen reports suggesting that was an error and was accompanied by a credit.

Which one (if any) is correct? I don't know - but whether or not Essendon actually had records of illegal supplements is very much in question; let alone administered them.



Is that so? It is suggested that it was the PLAYERS that asked for the forms you are referring to, not the club.

Interestingly, I'm yet to see a single one of these forms that contained an illegal substance. I mean, if forty players signed them - surely at least one has found its way into the media?



It's well known that Zaharakis chose to not be involved because he doesn't like needles.

But because they were forced, of course he had to - right? Nobody was forced - your statement is flat out incorrect.

So that's three in a single sentence that are either flat out incorrect, or definitely questionable - despite your rather absolute statement of:



People tend to get carried away with the idea that Essendon is guilty of doping, and start to speak of it as an assertion of fact because nobody is there to correct you. That's why I'm here. :D
This from a poster that actually complains on the suggestions board about non serious discussions on BigFooty, then makes ancient references to being debt-ridden, no members etc. Like so many that support your club, I guess it only cuts one way.

I missed you guys.

When was the last time I called you blokes debt-ridden?

I've been throwing around 'peasant' and 'minnow' quite a bit, but yeah debt-ridden not a part of my normal North speak.

People going to be crying all up and down Arden St if we win on the weekend?
Our club has survived worse than losing a game to a pack of cheats.

Whilst losing would hurt if it was to occur, I will also wake up Sunday morning safe in the knowledge that all the players that played for North the previous night will be able to play again in 2015.

Regardless whether you win or not you can only speculate the answer to that question for your clubs players and so can they, its why they're lining up to leave.
