Essendon continues to duck for cover

[Bunk Moreland]

There's a distinct lack of argument to any of Caro's points so far in this thread.

Not surprisingly.

250k+ posts on the same tired bullshit, and he still wants it punched out again in yet another thread.

Caro = Ctrl-C Ctrl-V

Is it tiring you?

You lack the comprehension skills to have a conversation with.

Eh? You have brought up two examples in a post that don't make sense unless you use "Essendon logic"....

Caro spoke of conspiracy theories in general that have dominated the thinking of the Hirdites from the start of this mess, blaming everyone else but themselves for the mess they are in: in no way is her correct observation of the ridiculous behaviour of Essendon apologists cancelled out by an exchange in court last week . Strange cherry picking by you there but pretty in keeping with Essendon people during this saga I guess. Waters have got to be muddied after all.

With the Adelaide issue, again, she is talking in general terms about punishments that one team received vs another and that, for a crime of the magnitude of Essendon's compared to Adelaide, the Crows must feel really miffed at how they copped such a big punishment compared to Essendon. Again, a reasonable and fair comparison. But what does an Essendon apologist see in that? Of course, they will nitpick an error made in the breakdown of what the penalties were (this error in no way diminishes the point she was trying to make). Again, keep muddying the waters and cherry picking!

Would you like me to offer my thoughts?

Except shes failed to point to a single conspiracy theory, shes just thrown the words in the air. Even the judge is saying we aren't alleging conspiracy theories lol.

As far as punishment:

Essendon:
2 years of 1st + 2nd round draft picks gone (with a 19th pick in the second year), 2million dollar fine, coach suspended 12 months, bomber, reid, cochran all fined/suspended. Lost our spot in the finals for bringing the game into disrepute over poor governance of the supplements program.

Adelaide:
1 year of 1st + 2nd round draft picks, 300k fine, trigg, reider and haper all got suspensions... for draft tampering and salary cap breachs over a three year peroid.


In which warped world are you living in that poor governance is worse then actively cheating the system. Not only that put our penalty was double theirs.
Laughable.

My god, go easy on the poor woman. To list every single pathetic conspiracy theory trotted out by paid and unpaid Essendon PR people and their media mouthpieces would mean her article would never make the word limit. She was speaking generally about the weird persecution complex/siege mentality that Essendon have cultivated throughout this saga: and she was spot on.

Geez, look, the rest of us don't use Essendon logic so trying to downplay what Essendon did as being simply a matter of "poor governance" will be something no one outside the weird cult of Essendon would ever agree with you on.

 

[tigerdan]

Yeah Caro can be annoying but in this article she is bang on the money.

Lots of teeth gnashing from the Bomber supporters All is good with the world!

 

[andrewb]

I'm happy to have a crack at this if one of the more intelligent anti-EFC supporters can muzzle the peanut on the Mckenzie topic.

 

[base615]

Poor governance LOL

 

[MaddAdam]

This article is further proof that I am Caro.

Quite surprisingly.

The cancer crap Bomber sprouted just shows how deluded by their self justifications this mob of fools really are.

Yep, thought his cancer comments were a bit disrespectful.
The good thymosin is used in combination with other drugs and chemotherapy to treat cancer, it is not used on its own.
These treatments are very harmful, not something he should be making light of.

 

[VL3OJ]

Great 1/4 time wrap up by Carro in this long running saga. Yes, there is nothing new but it is all succinctly discussed so that 17 out of 18 people will comprehend it. Why Essendon are still playing is truly beyond me and don't get me started on Worksafe.

Is it tiring you?

I've always believed it takes a small minded individual to enjoy having the same topic of conversation over and over again and never tire from it. It's like they have the memory of a goldfish or are just too dense to take any sort of relevance out of it in the first place, that they need to go over and over it, just to understand what the topic actually is they are talking about to begin with.

 

[CrazyJoeDevola]

The pricks need a barrage from these suckers..No ducking then.

 

[bing181]

Some astonishing responses here from Essendon supporters. Bogged down in irrelevant minutiae.

Maybe time to quote from the SC's again:

"Specifically, it is alleged that you used Thymosin Beta 4 through your participation in an injection regime organised by Mr Stephen Dank and conducted in his office at the Essendon Football Club premises."

That's all that needs to be addressed, everything else is a sideshow.

Don't try so hard then. It will come to you eventually.

Oh lordy. Lordy lordy lordy.

Don't know about you, but on earth "poor governance" that put 34 people's life in danger is far worse than paying a dude more cash.

As you have quoted from the Show Cause notices, is it possible you can provid a link to a complete, or partial SC? Greatly appreciated.

There's nothing wrong with her facts or opinions at all. But there's also nothing different about her article from the last 30 she wrote on the subject.

Must be Week A of her article cycle. I assume we'll get our regularly scheduled Brayshaw skewering next week.
