[Dalphonso]

Here we go boys... charges have been released.

And the Essendon boys comment!

cant be good getting the club presidents involved, eddie and west coast, and hawthorn have been nailed to the wall by Essendon, you only need 75 % to kick a club out.

So we have 3 clubs there. Add to that GCFC and GWS who follow the AFL line. That's 5. Geelong wouldn't be too impressed either but it's not really their gig to vote them out.

However if the AFL go the other way and say we are throwing them out. I can't see many clubs voting to keep them in...

The AFL will already have the numbers they require - they don't go blindly down a path without knowing all possibilities and preparing for them - throughout this they have used the resources and had the expertise to determine all possible directions and have prepared accordingly

EFC are going to be getting a whole lot of "I do not wish to discuss this tonight, will see you tomorrow in the meeting" answers to their phonecalls

 

[Albert Ross]

Robinson is convinced the 17 clubs will ask Essendon to stand out of the competition, whilst the charges are heard.

Moved by the GWS, seconded by Melbourne ... handy to have two votes before you start.

Absolute master stroke by the AFL. Essendon are way out of their league in trying to take down the AFL... the AFL is just way too smart for them.

 

[Randomizor]

Coincidental that Vlad has been talking all year about an extra bye next year?

Every club gets a bye next year in the fixture where they would have played Essendon?

As for the TV rights deal: if EFC get booted out, the networks will be missing out on 22 games. Solution? (I believe this is the same as the AFL's) extend the season by 3 weeks. TV networks now get the number of games they would have, PLUS an extra two.

 

[blackshadow]

I'm starting to feel sorry for the bombers!

Don't worry, you'll feel better soon.

Especially if you read some of the nonsense on the Essendon board.

10 team breakaway competition lol!

 

[blackshadow]

When is the last time the Chairman called a special meeting of the club presidents?

 

[Ron The Bear]

When is the last time the Chairman called a special meeting of the club presidents?

Probably when Carlton did something bad.

 

[La Vache]

Sticks Kernahan to come out all guns blazing.

$$$ say NO.

And he is an idiot

 

[the 5th wiggle]

*sigh* barracked for this club since i was was kid. There is no point for me in following the sport if Essendon are crushed.

Mate I know how it feels being a long time storm member,winning the grand final last year made everything us supporters went through with our salary cap cheating worth while.you simply must get rid of everyone who put you in this mess,cop your wack and start all over again.

not when all the ex platers on boards will have taken roids themselves

 

[the distributer]

The clubs need to vote Essendon until this matter is resolved, and that's including the draft, can't have young kids being drafted to a club that has an uncertain future.

Vlad has been 2 steps ahead of Essendon the whole time.

And to think, they could have easily done a deal if it wasn't for Hird's ego. The sociopath is going to drag the whole club down with him.

Suck it up.

We got destroyed for salary cap cheating. We're still here. Still supporting our average team.

Hey "may" come across as a buffoon to some, but he is a multi-millionaire industrialist with a pretty decent knowledge of the law. Not the kind of guy you **** with. Especially when it gets personal, as Hird and co have been doing...

 

[blue harvest]

No Finals for you!

So as Little does a ring around tonight how many Presidents do you think are taking his call?

I reckon a lot of calls going to message bank.

AFL would have a quorum before they even walk into the meeting. Hawthorn will have been promised a better compo pick for Buddy, Pies revenue lines protected from equalisation and so on. What has Little got to offer any of the other clubs?
