We had Underbelly, but surely there's enough material now (and belly laughs) for a new tele-movie: "Essendopia Fields" - Where A Field Of Dreams Turned Into A Bloody Nightmare!

Only problem is it'd have no ending.

Essen dung - the new german film taking afl management by stoom.

4 guys and a bucket ?

The level of hubris demonstrated in those tapes beggars belief. That the club allowed Hird and THOMPSON to participate in such discussions even more so.

I think it also shows that Little had been lucky to escape more strident criticism. They bring this guy in to deal with it and he immediately gets sucked into the Hird aura and seems to lose his mind. How can such a successful businessman seemingly be so stupid and unsophisticated? It shows the danger of getting 'fans' to run the joint, no matter how successful they are on the outside.

where would a disillusioned afl fan go? we only have one sport that we truly love in winter - we only have one top level version of it - what are we gonna do - follow soccer? baseball? the afl know we will hang on in the desperate hope we will still recognize our glorious game despite what they have done to it - consequently attendance numbers mean nothing, they will always be strong

You are right, depressingly so.

I don't know why these tapes were released. It doesnt make the bombers look any better.

Caro strongly suggests it was Bomber. He's lost the plot

Meanwhile at the Legion of Doom........

Ugh, this is just sad now. Even worse they have the journalistic equivalent of Igor peddling their crap through for them. No prizes for guessing who that is.

Did Robbo just come in after a 6 can lunch?

Depends how you mark the end of lunch. If it's the meal, then probably.

If it's the drinks, then he's still at lunch.

It's either Rohan "I'm not an Essendon Fanboy, and I don't care about what you think about drugs in football" Connolly or Mark "I hope the players get off, and I'm a drunky" Robinson.

Both are paying $1.01.

Who cares WHY it was taped. It WAS taped. Someone didn't trust someone in the inner sanctum. It was there for leverage. No different if I and Thy went for a drink and hit the record button on my phone to see what SHOOK out, should a NEED arise to use the information to my advantage.

 

[Metalcrusher]

There is a LOT more at play here.

 

[Jabba73]

Why would the * hierarchy consent to the release of the tape? Regardless of how much they want to hurt the AFL, nothing good can come of this ... for them.

I say break out the popcorn, someone has wandered off the reservation. Nothing better than going rogue when you believe that you have nothing left to lose.

This may be the beginning of the end for the cover up. One domino falls, the whole crapshoot falls to bits.

'Only a Jab'. That's what started this mess.

Just another opinion but I am backing fanboi Danny Corcoran as the taper and releaser.

He is the only one of the quartet who played the "it's all your fault James attempted suicide" card.

I don't believe that * had anything to do with it. It's only purpose is to misguidedly seek more public sympathy for Hird.

 

[mikeythemoocow]

Hirds dad just got a gig at the Hun saying they were framed, AFL hate us, poor us.

They need to STFU and accept everyone thinks they are filth drug cheats.

Everyone is sick to death of this. It's going to get brought up again the first time any player get a unusual disease, or the more unpalatable option that drove Ryder out, a sick child.

It's never going to end but surely we don't have listen to the whines of these petulant pricks all season

I wasn't paying close attention, but someone seemed to be much closer to the recording device than the rest. You can hear them unwrapping and chewing lollies for half the tape.

They're all culpable for negligent management, but if the recording wasn't mutually agreed upon, I'd suggest it was Bomber.

Pretty sure Bomber has already come out and said he had a call from reporter to say they had a tape and would he have an issue with it being released...

It wasn't the president nor Bomber, so that leaves 2 people...!

I dare say they are a few more taped conversations that will not see the light of day as all parties taped have to agree on it being released...

 

[sosos]

Thonpson's loose but not stupid. What would be his motive?

Thompson and Little strike me as two who want to move on. Hird is indisposed, leaves DC.

I don't think the proximity of a phone is enough evidence to nail Thompson.

Corcoran has always struck me as someone prepared to take actions outside the law. Looks like his MO......... IMO....
