Are you sure you aren't trolling?

Defiantly not trolling.
Not sure about what Hird's punishment will be though

Edit: not sure what part of my post's you considered baiting.
Only stated what I'd been informed the AFL's punishments would be

Mmm, so we are going to lose ALL of our draft picks for the next 2 years?

As in, no rookie draft picks, national draft, pre-season draft... nothing... for 2 years?

And not pushed to the end of the round, right? Gone as in no need for us to even turn up to the draft table?

Reported on 360 that Matt Finniss told the Bomber players this afternoon to expect to lose their points..

That in itself could be a strategic shot across the bow from Vlad, ie officially get inside their heads.

There are a large majority of parents of next years draft hopefuls who have expressed concern at the possibility of their child being drafted by Essendon

Please answer the question. Did your bottle of sauce tell you we would be losing our draft picks completely for the next 2 years?

I can imagine.

Gotta feel for Goddard, I know he has been mentioned a few times but damn...

I will no longer answer any of your troll questions.
If you don't believe me why does what I have to say matter.

 

[QuietB]

Have to wonder if the leak was failing an Essendon loyalty test

They have gone that route before.

I'm just trying to confirm whether the AFL are now breaking their own list turnover rules by completely stripping us of draft picks, thus not allowing us to refresh our list by the minimum 3 player changes per year rule.

But since your reliable source has already confirmed this to be the case...

All I was told was all draft picks. I did not ask if that meant all drafts.
Don't shoot the messenger

You can upgrade 3 rookies each year, get some peanuts in the preseason draft, take 3 picks at the end of the draft. There are lots of ways to still turn over 3 a year.

The draft ban will involve banning from the earlier rounds of each draft. They will be allowed to draft in the later rounds.

Correct, but Lyncha said we would lose all draft picks for the next 2 years. I was simply trying to clarify what exactly, and to what extent, he was referring to in regards to our punishment (National? Pre-Season? Rookie? All of the above?).

You'll find out soon enough, relax!

There is absolutely no choice.

If they object even for a perfectly valid reason (when something is done to you) you are banned for two years according to 'the rules'.

Then when you appeal, they will keep adding more years until you have no option but to walk away.

 

[astrowizzle]

I agree.

And there you have it. The majority of posters in these forums have operated exactly the same way as the media and picked out only the relevant information to make their ****ling fairy tales make sense to mindless idiots

Bask in your construct of victimisation while you can.

The grim reaper nears. and his scythe is fckn sharp.

which one could say about essendon supporters, and their steadfast defence of the EFC, believing every word to come out of the club, even though the story changes there daily….
glass houses and stones

did he talk to the doctor, did he not talk to the doctor? what else has he lied about? is he lying? i don't even know anymore! no one groups PR spin is more reliable than anothers at the moment, so you can't accuse the posters of buying media "bullishlt" when you believe every word coming out of essendon.
