No Oppo Supporters The ASADA Thread... from a Tiger perspective

[TheDarkKnighta]

Hird nailed to the cross with "style and class" and assured of a multiple year deal when he rises again from his 12 month stress-free holiday.
Bomber Thompson slapped on the wrist.

The supporters are going to be asked to help make up for the money lost to fines and legal costs.
The players won't be joined by any new top-tier talent for the next two years, making it harder for them to achieve any real success.

Doesn't sit well with me.

Interesting, little said legal costs go above 1 mill + 2 mill fine= OUCH ! Fitzparick's report makes for interesting reading on,

Must confess, glad it's over (sort of) ASADA can still inflict more pain, but as Dim'ou said they have nothing at this stage but are pursuing their new powers which kicked in Aug 1 (I think).

Welcome @TheDarknighta .

Funniest tweet I've seen #standbyknighta

Hardly worthy of posting. Informing everyone when he's sober now that's thread worthy.

Great footage before on AFL360 of him sleeping it off in the gutter

Is Mark Thompson OK?

Looks like he's on edge like you wouldn't believe.

Genuinely made me feel sick watching it.

Needs to give footy away and take up politics. Was sensational. Nit sure the Bombers would be happy with his antics.

I've also become extremely pissed off at those who are responsible for this shit.

At this point in time I hope Hird never gets the privilege of coaching in the AFL again... Yes, even at Essendon it's a privilege, look no further than Kevin Sheedy who coached that club for 26 years.

It's a disgrace that Little was candidly open about arranging Hird's return in 2015. Why would you want to bring part of the pestilence back to the club? Would you really want to play for a coach who put your health at risk and didn't have YOU in their best interests? That's how I see it at the moment.

Nor does it sit well with me TDK.
Excellent post.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

so hird cant be payed by Essendon during this 12month "holiday" I don't believe for a second he isn't well compensated for his "Falling on the sword"

 

[Turka]

Hird will be more than okay.
I can't believe he is able to roll in and coach for the finals (if they make it).
A year should be the whole year. Simple really.

 

[tigertaskforce]

so we now play a stress free bombers on sat night ill back us to win but this just might free them up a little NO MATTER NO MERCY EAT THEM ALIVE

 

[Mr Magic]

I don't think AFL HQ delivered justice.

I think the AFL clubs need to start delivering their own rightful justice!!!


EFC players may want to vent and this is their last game to do so this year after being stripped of finals.

But RFC players and fans IMO have not been compensated for the crap shoved in our faces on the screen this year thanks to certain EFC morons.

I think it is time we hammered them and earn our self respect that, unlike AFL HQ, we will not be bent over and abused!!!

First think I would do is check with the validity of this match versus EFC given EFC can't get points from a legal perspective regarding its validity regarding players penalties etc.. like MRP.

If we get a green light, no reprecussions, let the war begin on Saturday. I would bring in some heavy hitters into the team to to shake them up a bit!!!

 

[Wally Matera]

That interview with Bomber on FC was frightening. It showed the absolute rubbish that those arse clowns have been throwing at the AFL to get off... OMG. That was the most embarrassing interview ever and how Essendon, after the poor PR theyve had, approved him speaking and going on air showed how bad that football club is still being run.

FRIGHTENING. That was horrific. If l was a parent and l saw he was going to coach next year, l'd be pulling my son out of there now. Horrific.

 

[Wally Matera]

The Essendon Board is PURE Genius right now... That "R" bloke has been sucking the Hexaralin out of Hirdy... here is a sample:

1. They are already well down the path to attracting some "serious" free-agency recruits to the club
2. Pears, and Kavanagh are worth late first rounders and Pears/Gumby are worth second rounders... and clubs "are circling"!!
3. Draft picks dont hurt that much and we can easily adopt the Geelong/Sydney model
4. Players cant wait to play for Hirdy again.
5. They are looking forward to having Goodwin coaching on Saturday
6. Exploiting free agency will be easy!

Overlooking the fact, no club will trade with them. New draftees will no doubt express reservations in being drafted there and ASADA have not given any of them the all clear.
LOL at how they are rating their players. Can we invite Mr.R in for an interview. Would be gold.

One too many Red Bulls?

I thought "a year" would've implied a season. I'd be pissed off if he came back late August next year and the cheats manage to make finals.

sits fine with me, can't me just keep our noses out of essendons business and concentrate on our finals campaign and beyond, one of our rivals has been weakened and that good enuff for me, no need to sink the boots in, we have not been perfect angels in that area either.

Brace yourself mate his suspension ends 25 August 2014 & he has already signed for two years from that date.

Pretty much the way I see it too. Shows how irresponsible that club is if they have re-signed him.

I think the player fallout could have a bearing on that. You only need that one sheep to part from the flock and watch them all follow.

Champion of the game or not the only way Essendon can truly move forward is a clean out of ANYONE involved in the saga and starting a fresh.

I don't think we could fathom the amount of brainwashing that must be going on inside the walls of that club. Those blokes singing that song, demanding Hird join in last week was a real eye opener for me. If those blokes are pissed at Hird and the club for what was done to them then they didn't show it the other night.

Sad

Bombers VFL side wont be playing finals. VFL to be meeting Essendon today and its expected they will be informed that their also gone.

Thought it was reported last night they would be ok to play finals

Apparently the AFL has said its ok by them, but has left this decision up to the VFL.
