Do we the wider footy public support Essendon as per Little's comment today?

[morgoth]

Could not believe Little claiming that Essendon had the support of the wider football community. Bloke must be living in an ivory tower. Talk back is dominated by people saying they have to go, at work everyone who is not an Essendon supporter thinks they have to go.

It is universal that no one wants to see Hird back.

So lets take a poll, do you support Essendon in their fight against ASADA?

When it's cold in hell.

 

[The_Reaper]

Nah. **** them and if they go down give them the minimum support to stay alive.

 

[morgoth]

I should thank Little was on the way to Gym when I heard that, had a massive session and pumped out some big sets. Nearly got in a fight also, I really need to get a life

 

[andrewb]

Haha bigfooty - 'the wider footy community'. I would have accepted narrower.

 

[GreatBradScott]

Gauging talk back in the last two days, it's turned on them.

Maybe 12 months ago, not anymore.

Biggest AFL board in the country, about as good a guide as you will get. No one on talk back supports your club except Essendon supporters.

 

[dmc333]

I don't think the response won any friends.

 

[Illinois Nazi]

Quite honestly, if this whole saga ends with the AFL no longer having a team called Essendon in it, it wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

Wow you're a big boy. Quite the cables hey? You would have given him a Kannanook bath for sure

I think your poll is ridiculous, it is stupidly slanted, after reading many of your former posts, i believe you have let yourself down with this one, you have done way better in the past.

I actaully support their court action because i think that the bulk if not all of the players were unaware that they were given banned drugs, if of course in the first place that the susbstances were actually banned,

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Pretty sure I remember Little also claiming last year, when he was brand new to the job, that the AFL community was on Essendon's side against bullying by the AFL and their cursed charge sheet. That didn't last long, neither will this.

 

[Tank Girl]

They shouldn't be in the AFL anymore. They are ruining everything. They took unknown substances and have no right to do anything but accept their punishment.

But that's not what the court action is about, is it?

 

[passmark]

The public have had enough.
They aren't buying the Bombers line anymore.
The Presidents will act if this goes on much longer.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Sorry Paul Little you're on your own in this thinking the wider footballing public want this to be dealt with on its merits via the tribunals that are in place to judge these matters

 

[Andrew Mc]

Not even close to being true. Injunctions are for the guilty - if you've got nothing to hide, come out and contest it.

 

[Catastic82]

The roof the roof is on fire ... We don't need no water let the motherf****r BURN... Burn motherf****r

 

[le dominateur]

Essendon have been Carlton's No1 rival for many years now, could not care less if we never play them again.

Na na na na, hey hey, goodbye
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodbye

 

[Admiral Byng]

I'm a fan of sport in general, not just footy. I support the principle of having sport drug-free, and taking a hard line to enforce the WADA code. This is bigger than Essendon.

Ay? That's why ASADA have said that their penalty could be reduced from 2 years down to 6 months. Either way you can't take banned drugs no matter what. As a professional athlete you have to know what you're taking and you have to know what is banned and what is not banned.

Essendon's lawyers will be mounting a Johnny Cochrane style defence "if the glove don't fit, then you must aquit". It's a disgrace.

 

[blackshadow]

Definitely not.

i'm completely neutral on all this.

i think they are well within their right to challenge asada and these infraction notices. what else are they meant to do? their club is smeared either way.

wouldn't say they have my 'support' or anything like that, i find the whole thing quite sad and embarrassing for essendon overall, WTF were the people in charge down there thinking? the team was building to a top 4 team and were premiership ready probably this year or next year. WTF difference would have these peptides BS made to them overall?

Now everyone else knows why we hate them so much.
