Play Nice Is Gil really this much of a fool? Jobe's Brownlow and the commission's "hard" decision.

I hope he keeps it, if only to rile you losers up.
This is the same award Ian Collins stripped Chris Grant of because he didn't like him. It's such a stupid meaningless award, yet all these Bigfooty keyboard warriors are up in arms about it.

Perhaps they're trying to wait and give him an opportunity to make the first move and hand it back himself, in the eyes of the general public it would rehabilitate his image an awful lot - because as i've read in the newspapers a lot recently what with the olympics n all, there's nothing aussies hate more than drug cheats taking medals away from our clean athletes.

I know we it has been discussed over and over - but for posters like me that understood that due process needs to take its course the AFL has no excuse now not to take immediate action.
This really is a different kettle of fish, what are they waiting for!?
It's the most prestigious award in the AFL. People won't to be able to avoid how much of a joke it becomes, if you allow someone convicted guilty of performance doping to remain a brownlow medalist.
I always thought the award is a joke, but 50% of the criteria of fairest. Performance doping is probably the MOST UNETHICAL thing a club/individual could do in a competition. The only other thing that pops into mind would be salary cap cheating, which is slightly less bad.
If Jobes a Brownlow medalist then of course Chris Grant is ffs. One match suspensions compared to performance doping? Seriously

As much as I don't want Jobe to lose the Brownlow, he just has to. He got a guilty verdict that season for performance enhancing drugs, if he gets off, it sets a bad precendent for footy history.

Laugh every time I see this. Gold!
It's a joke. They've had all year to agree on an outcome in the highly-likely event the Swiss Court throws out Essendon's appeal. Yet apparently only now are they able to convene and determine a course of action!? They are like an incompetent government department that does everything via committee!
Is the AFL seriously so inept that they can't make contingency decisions for more than one outcome at a time? Did they not state earlier in the year that they would wait for the outcome of the Swiss Court appeal before stripping the medal, yet now we need a month of preparation for a Royal Commission-esque inquiry into what to do next?
This is a black & white decision. There are no extenuating circumstances that change a very, very straightforward outcome. Would you have this kind of endless PR-spin BS if a suspended player like Sloane had won this year's medal? NO! There is nothing to see here except complete and utter incompetence on the AFL's part.

And then not have public vote on it because its too divisive
Any player, let alone club captain, who decides he wants to cheat his way to a premiership with performance enhancing drugs doesn't have much integrity.

Maybe the AFL should hold a plebiscite?

He should hand it back and it should go to Mitchell and Cotchin
Essendon the club and the staff involved deserve their fair whack but the players were unfortunate collateral damage. The personal attacks against Jobe are cheap and brainless.

He should have handed it back years ago.
If he gets to keep it then the Brownlow just becomes even more of a joke.

He deserves it. It is what it is.
