Moved Thread How secret Bombers deal came unstuck

[whiteoak]

That's exactly what Cronulla was offered. Take the fall...and you only miss 6 months.

There are more layers of guilt at Cronulla. This is what we've been saying all the long.

As soon as ASADA belted the door down at Cronulla, they were screwed.

Compare this to the actions of Essendon from the very start. We invited them for a start and now the truth is quickly emerging.

First of all the statements by Robinson and Stevens about the Essendon officials, which have since been confirmed by Crackers Keenan, who rarely gets it wrong.

We also know the players are in the clear from both the views of Asada and the AFL.

It's basically all over.

O really?

 

[pazza]

Crackers Keenan!! LOL

That well known, hard-hitting, fearless, investigative journalist, Crackers!

Oh my, haha.

At least you're not quoting Twitter sources this time.

Who very rarely gets it wrong.

Has been all over every coaching appointment weeks before anyone else...knew the "punishment" Melbourne would get for "tanking"...has a pretty good record about these things.

 

[Noobz0r]

Taking one journalists opinion as fact, and completely dismissing another is ****ing annoying and biased. Who says Crackers or Masters have it right?


Note: Both sides of the argument on here are doing it.

 

[MaddAdam]

Can someone remind me again.

Has any Cronulla player been suspended?
Has any NRL player been suspended?
Has Stephen Dank been charged with anything?

Honestly the 'Insiders' crew of Wilson, Whately and Masters are really clutching at straws now. They've been going hard on this since it first started and now they (like a few Big Footy imbeciles but at least they have the balls to put their names to an opinion I guess) are increasinlgly looking horribly wrong.

Not one charge or suspension yet.
Not one.

Can I come back to you on this in three months?

The man's a buffoon.

One's a journo. The other isn't.

If I change it to person, is that ok, or is still a stretch?

 

[evo]

Yep!

Poorly worded on my behalf. I blame reading Masters article too many times and catching the bug.

It really is a shocking piece of writing. One has to read it 3 or 4 times and match it against all the other information they have learned over the last 6 weeks just to get the gist of what he may be going on about. God help a person who is not as obsessed about sport and interested in this case as we are.

Fair dinkum, a year 11 media studies student could compile a more informative news article. Can't newspapers afford editors these days?

Stop now.

Crackers Keenan has offered his opinion, and there is nothing in this at all.

Best we all go home.

Yet so many here now treat it as gospel & see it as yet another nail in Essendon's coffin (this coffin must be all nails & no wood by now, surely )

The guys a washed up hack with a bitter hatred of anything AFL, end of story.

I think the only "ruh-roh" from this article was the dumbing down of BF's collective intellect.

I'm most certainly not treating it as gospel. However, it does give a fasinating insight into the ongoing shennanigans occuring behind closed doors.

Hate MaSters all you like, but he does have his sources and is credible.

If he had written an article with a positive slant I doubt that you have even bothered posting.

I doubt that.

Those trees in front of you are called a forest.

The trouble with reading anything by Roy Masters about Australian Football is that you don't know if it is a genuine issue or just a beat up motivated by his hatred of our code. It doesn't look like the Murdoch press have picked up the story, which may or may not mean nothing.

You obviously don't know Roy Boy too well do you, inane statement.

 

[sunshine_saint]

Mcveigh is as thick as planks. Came out in defence of the club but just dropped Hird straight in it by saying he was in the room when they got injections.

So now we know the dons cheated and we also knew Hird was totally involved.

I am well aware of his propensity to stick the boots into the AFL.

However, on this occasion, there is more to it than that.

 

[carnthemlions]

NOW!!!!
If nothing has happened by now, obviously it's just a media beat up/govt conspiracy and nothing will come of it. The idea of an investigation taking a significant amount of time is just ridiculous. Never happens...

 

[rumply]

O really...

 

[ziad]

Roy offered quotes that are well referenced and show that all is not as it perhaps should be.

What does this mean? As far as I was concerned any confidence was that they had not done anything wrong to their knowledge, no? Different kind of confiedence.

Spot on.

And I have to commend you on seeing it this way, Essendon supporters that don't view these words from the players as some kind of a positive sign are as rare as unicorn's droppings.

What article were you reading?
Or didn't you get past the headline as usual....

 

[CharacterFirst]

Suppose I better get in this thread as well.

The same article as you.

But he had both eyes open.

Re-read the sequence of posts I was replying to and maybe you'll get it

ah what the hell who am I kidding, just ask someone else to explain it to you.
