[LordLucifer]

They have a top-up thread on the * Board. They're not getting Jones.

Wish we had of traded him to the Bummers, they will need a blonk like him now.

 

[thylacine60]

Lift, Quazza!!

 

[HARKER]

Can someone remind me what Carlisle was reported to have said on-field last year?

I just can't seem to recall..........................but he may have well had a vision.

[MrsEddieBetts]

I understand now why the heavens had to take Bowie back yesterday - no man can deal with this much untempered joy today without first feeling great sorrow yesterday.





I feel bad for the players, and I feel bad for those Bombers supporters who came to terms before today with what their club tried to do. Make no mistake, by the time the legal dust settles, this will be a journey into the footy wilderness that will surpass even our own.

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky....Essendon are proven junkies...

Couldnt be happier.

Same. Can't wipe the smile off my face.

I assume it's because they played in the indigenous all-stars game. Watson and Fletchers were extended because of the Irish games.

 

[HARKER]

Oddly, I don't feel the sense of euphoria I expected.
On one hand , I'm ecstatic the cheats FINALLY got what they deserved.
On the other , this feels like a disgusting day for our beloved sport
I'm like Switzerland .... Neutral as ****

I feel the same to a point but I just don't like manipulating narcissists.
Unfortunate lesson to learn but lessons should be learned for all clubs.

I have Essendon supporting friends as well as knowing their Essendon supporting kids and I just can't/won't derive joy from their pain.
I don't think any of us would, should we be eye-balling those innocent parties that have just had a part of their life stripped from them this year.....and thanks to who?

You're the man James. You sure are the man.

 

[thylacine60]

This guy on the * Board:

Seriously guys, WE STUFFED UP.

What went on in unacceptable.

This sucks for the players, I feel for them but the only one to blame is the Essendon Football Club.

Taste the happy, Michael. Taste it.

Hmm. How will this affect AFL fantasy footy!

 

[jimsta10]

I hope this thread never goes down...





Happy birthday thylacine60 !!!!

 

[bluedabadee]

Congratulations to Jordan Speith...3rd best total in history at minus 30.
Only beaten by Ernie Els at minus 31, and Essendon at minus 34.

 

[thylacine60]

You know it, Smoking Baby!!

 

[SurreyBlue]

Forever to be know as 'drug cheats'. Beautiful!

 

[Just Kreuzing]

So Fletcher like Lloyd finishes his career on suspension.

Should not be recognised in the 400 game club.

 

[BigCountryBlue]

Will James Hird make a press conference appearance today?

Hird: "And when the truth comes out, I think I'll be in a very, very good position, and so will this football club."

LOL

Quoting for awesomeness

 

[LanceRomance]

Just as an aside and I have no reason for thinking this other than for the fact I do.

Wouldn't surprise me if Tim Watson has a very heavy heart today.
You'd imagine that Jobe would have confided in dad quite a bit through the injection process, but maybe dad had too much love and trust for Hird and steered Jobe in the wrong direction. Jobe had the chance of stopping this or at least ask some very serious questions but he didn't. They may not have meant bad but the Watsons may have made a huge error in judgement trusting Sir James.........and it will be a heavy load to carry for doing so.

Agree.

They both seem like good people, I hope the club gives them (and all others) all the support they need.

would be a tough time, especially for players that were part of the leadership group.

 

[Blue Reaper]

I get no pleasure from this result. This disgraceful saga has cast a dark shadow over our sport and Essendon should be ashamed of its behavior over the past few years.

But this is the result our sport needed. A just result. All clubs are now on notice.

 

[CFC_JP]

I heard CAS were debating whether Heppell should be given an extra 6 months for that rude haircut

 

[blue gunslinger]

Finally

Has a team ever gone winless in a season before? Because it wouldn't surprise me if the drug cheats don't win a game.

Imagine a team of players with nothing to win nothing to lose and almost no rules! You could play like madmen with little regard for consequences. Such a team will be a hand full initially.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

What an awful day for our great game.
