Today's Age - *Jojoba Watson doesn't enjoy his footy any more. Oh boo hoo.
Here's some advice, *Jobe - quit. Change clubs. Do something else. You don't owe *Essendon squat. Your daddy doesn't own you either.
In fact, you owe it to your teammates that you captain to set an example and quit, for taking them down this bullshit path of fighting for the sake of fighting. They hate their footy too, it is plain as day. You all could have copped the crappy little punishment ASADA offered and would have well and truly put this behind you a year ago and be back to what you always wanted to do as kids.
Instead you had to take the high moral ground, or more correctly fought to protect your employer, that shitstain of a club you work for. You should have known that the case would go on appeal, whether you win or lose - either you the players or ASADA would appeal, blind freddie could see that. And your players have followed you all the way.
30 odd of your "mates" look to you for leadership on this, *Jobe, and you've been conflicted since day one between what is in their interests and what is in the interests of *club your daddy played for. And all along you've chosen the *club. Look at the cost.
So show some ******* leadership and walk. Send a message to the players you lead that they owe the *club absolutely nothing. They're locked into the WADA appeal now, but at least they can still get the **** out, go somewhere else and start remembering why they play the game in the first place. And you can bet they're looking to you to lead them as ever, *jobe.
So quit. Take the playing group with you. You've been used and manipulated since day one by *Essendon on this, time to show *them what that costs at the end of the day when they don't have a playing list any more. **** 'em *jobe, do the right thing for once.
