Essendon sure couldn't have picked a more ordinary group of players to dope up

Yep. All of this was happening.Jobe Watson's words in November 2011, not long after Dank arrived at EFC, and only a few weeks after Dank had ordered a whole bunch of PED's that he claims never landed at Essendon.
"The boys have certainly had their eyes opened to the changes in body shape in only 2 weeks".
Body shape changes in 2 weeks!?
Early January a Bomber poster kick starts a thread on this very board called ‘players who are becoming huge at your club’, with a flurry of pics of beefed up Bombers.
11 posts in, this response said it all.

Albert's not from Victoria.
If you want to play the victim card, at least get your facts straight, unless none of the facts support your delusion.

Admittedly timmy has started, but he seems more on the any club than the return to essendon trainSupporters.
James Hird is the only coach of a non expansion club to lose a game to the Mark Neeld coached Melbourne sides, shows you how inept he was as a coach
Also beat Neeld's Melbourne by 148 points.James Hird is the only coach of a non expansion club to lose a game to the Mark Neeld coached Melbourne sides, shows you how inept he was as a coach
My favourite was the texts that were leaked from Hird to football boss Danny Corcoran, where he notes that Doc Reid wanted to pull the pin on the program, and asked Corcoran to “use his UN powers of persuasion” to talk Reid out of it. When that failed they cut Reid out of the loop completely. Yep, Hird was really in the dark.Yep. All of this was happening.
At the same time as a swathe of offsite injections.
And then a list-wide set of hamstring injuries as soon as the injections stopped.
Yet we're supposed to believe that it was just a governance issue and the coach watching over everything (and closer to it than any loungeroom observe) was just a naive pawn in the game of the evil sports chemist he trusted a little too much.
So the wash up is that Hird was either an oblivious moron or deeply involved in the worst doping scandal ever.
Neither of these things scream "best candidate in the land to coach our club"
my old man always said you could tell a fair bit about a person by who they surrounded themselves with.. Hird surrounded himself with crims and drug dealers.if any one has been wondering what Dr Stephen Dank has been up to in recent years
He has been shot at, peddled more drugs and a bit of possible jail time

In fact, his whole playing career should have an asterisk. He had a convicted roids importer as his personably trainer and nutrition coach during his playing days.
Wow, a player with KPP attributes but who can run all day and never get tired. How does he do it? Well, now we know how he did it.
Well, credit where credit is due - his methods obviously workSame convicted drug dealer was Wowoedins personal "trainer" during his Brownlow year.

When he was coaching yes.

let’s not forget that Essendon actually REAPPOINTED Hird AFTER he had served his 1 year ban.
I see the Western inferiority complex is still strong.Victorian AFL boys club you mean
some clubs still get bashed over the skull for things that happened near on 20 years ago
but if you are a golden haired boy from Victoria who implements a doping regime, or a premiership coach who trafficked drugs
sweep sweep sweep
I see the Western inferiority complex is still strong.
Might want to check a little bit closer to home about drugs being swept under the carpet before melting down.

This has to be a parody account - nobody could seriously be this big of a nuffie.thanks for proving my point
yes we all know Benny boy took party drugs 20 years ago..
and if you don't know the story , the very salty Vic media will be reminding you every 5 seconds
The funny part in all this is right in the middle of the drug case Essendon hired Neeld as an assistant coach. The level of incompetence at Essendon at that time was just next level.Mark Neeld was a better coach than Hird. The turd torched the club for the next decade, Melbourne are now winning flags.
Neeld going at 15%. Hird at 49%. NFI.Mark Neeld was a better coach than Hird. The turd torched the club for the next decade, Melbourne are now winning flags.
Sure but it remains undeniable that Essendon would be in a better place now if they’d had Neeld instead of Hird. The ‘days since Essendon won a final meme’ would have been dead and buried years agoNeeld going at 15%. Hird at 49%. NFI.
