SALADA/VladFL: Slap on the wrist. - STRICTLY ESSENDON SUPPORTERS ONLY

[VelvetSledge]

Strange day.

 

[Mercurial89]

Has it been actually confirmed?

 

[Harlequin]

I keep waiting for the media to announce that it was James Hird in the kitchen with the rope

 

[Alfred E Neuman]

You guys weren't kidding about Voss! Following the lack of anything factual on the thread today, I thought you guys were having some weird gag.

 

[Alfred E Neuman]

Has it been actually confirmed?

[Mercurial89]

If we do somehow negotiate favorable terms we should bring these lawyers to trade week. Might get some good deals

 

[Harlequin]

Has it been actually confirmed?

If you mean about Voss then yes. On the Sen news they stated Michael Voss who jointly won the Brownlow medal with James Hird ....

Wtf was it James Hird who sacked him?

 

[Alfred E Neuman]

I would love to spray all those sillys outside of Hirds house with a fire hose.

I would like to spray them too.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

In no means am I happy about the Voss sacking, but the thread about the Essendon saga on the Brisbane board is interesting reading with comments like us going to throw Hirdy under the bus etc, then BOOM, Brisbane go and throw Voss under the bus.

 

[yaco55]

Same here. I have a feeling that the only way Essendon would negotiate would be if no points are taken, no draft picks taken, all staff are safe and the players and only a fine.

The AFL accept it but say "we want to leave it open so that if anything else comes to light we can hand out more penalties."

Here is hoping anyway.

Rines hit the nail on the head. The issue is that the AFL won't wait for the final ASADA report - This means they can't charge individuals, as this will prejudice ASADA's final report, this leaves a fine, which is probably unpalatable for the AFL - Points/draft picks are off the table if we are talking about governance issues.

This is comedy hour at its finest. If only the AFL waited for the final ASADA report.

 

[Stealth bomber]

Someone should have played a prank on Caro. "Hey guess what, the 1996 Brownlow medallist got fired!"

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Voss forced to resign for bringing the game into disrepute by sharing a brownlow win with James Hird...

IT REALLY IS ALL JAMES HIRD'S FAULT!!!

 

[rumply]

It's ridiculous.

You know what Hird should hire some big mother farking body guards in black suits with sunnies on and plonk them outside his driveway, if a media scum comes near the house they get thrown to the gutter.

Headline: 1996 BROWLOW MEDALIST SACKED

Strange day.

Indeed, most peculiar, mama!

Gee whiz there are a lot of flogs on this website.

As my dad pointed out, at this stage, waiting for the FULL ASADA report is the only move the AFL can make that doesn't result in either A) hitting us with ridiculous fines that we contest straight away (and eventually get turned over) or B) giving us fines we do accept, but then having the idiotic masses unhappy about it.
They've been playing chicken the last couple of weeks, and have finally realised we're not going to slow down

[the PILL]

[Inspecta Gadget]

Seeing as though it's almost NFL season

Delay of game, AFL, 5 yard penalty!

????

 

[cymarak]

Is the AFL trying to pretend that their general counsel is a slow reader and still hasn't formed a view as to whether we've broken any rules yet?

Please, Marc of the Tit, elaborate.

Me too, but with spray meaning 'piss' and fire hose....well...
