Essendon players mother remains a mystery - H/S 24/6

I perfectly understand why someone wanting to speak publicly like that would want to keep their privacy. However, considering we're talking about 2 potential mothers the club would absolutely know who it was if it was actually one of them. They would also be seeking to assist her as there was evidence of an anxiety disorder and just regurgitating inflammatory and embellished language designed to paint a picture rather than actually describe what had happened.

They would do that by delisting her son, ensuring the son never harmed himself in a game of football again. Anxiety all gone now..... Oh the benevolence!!!!
 
And you believe the club?

Imagine if the club did determine the source but were reluctant to disclose it because it painted the club in a bad light.

Because the club has never hidden anything to their detriment before........ have they???
I am sure they have a register of players mothers with all the other records they keep

Did they question all the players with high pitched voices?
 
This is the level of nutjob we are dealing with here and the reason why it is perfectly understandable why she may have wanted her identity kept secret.

Sorry mate but there was nothing nutty about my posts on the matter. I am just demonstrating that while I have no idea who was behind the fraud it is clearly a fraud.

Does anyone remember that plot line from The Wire where during the mayoral election a state's witness is murdered and Tommy Carcillo gets on his high horse about it because he'd previously requested that that witness be protected and gets a huge political boost as a result? And then the cops figure out the guy actually just caught a stray bullet from a totally unrelated gunfight and his death was totally coincidental?

Wonder if it's a similar deal. Prankster/deranged person rings up Eddie, does the sob story on radio. No conspiracy, just good timing because it strikes a chord with the public.
 
When Robbo's leading the charge of a conspiracy theory, it's probably time to reconsider the theory. Nobody positing the "fraud" can offer a viable motive or realistic perpetrator because it's so far-fetched. Not impossible but the likelihood of it being a conspiracy/nutter as opposed to being a genuine call is pretty slim, in my opinion. Eddie, ASADA, the AFL, anyone who could've been thought to be behind it has way too much to lose if it's exposed. It just doesn't bear scrutiny.
 
No big fan of Eddie myself but I'd be more inclined to believe him than anyone from the EFC side of this.

Yeah, I personally doubt both Eddie and his producer/s are stupid enough to let it go to air without being convinced it was legit. Too much to lose otherwise and whilst Eddie is a dick, he is savvy enough to avoid such pitfalls, generally.
 
We know the club investigated and could not determine who this "Sarah" was.

Why did the club need to investigate it in the first place? Ask yourself that and then have a look at the witch-hunt that has gone on around an anonymous person, imagine if the woman and her son were known. Heaven forbid they were a "fringe" player like Steinberg who might have been "depressed about their job". :rolleyes:

Yeah sure, this from a guy who made a king kong gag about an aboriginal player.
 
Even Gerrard WHately on 360 put Robbo on the spot last night about this article. Pressed him for why and where he was going with it, and that he was "on watch". Robbo had no answer except to squirm in his chair and carry on about there being so many unknowns in this case - effectively trying to avoid the question for Gerrard. Gerrard still put him "on watch" and Robbo squirmed again. He is truly becoming an embarrassment to the HS.

He actually got vocally upset. Was good viewing. He didn't like being called on the futility of the whole article.

It was hilarious he actually whined like a child, "why am I on watch, why isn't this Sarah on watch?"
