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

[Mercurial89]

I could understand the parent not wishing to identify themselves to the club when asked.

You can look at either way-

Caller was a fake. Pretty big claims.

Or.

The mother that was so upset about being left out of the loop, about not knowing and wanted the club to show care has chosen to rebuff the club when they reach out to help her.

Forgive the bluntness of this next statement-(mods let me know if ur unhappy with it)

She is either a fraud or a moron.

 

[Wattos Waste]

mother of an ex essendon player maybe? were they invited to the meetings?

 

[Loonerty]

Just listened to the mother's interview.

Of course there was a lot of concerning matters, however I thought the whole "waiver" thing was wrong? I thought it was confirmed that they weren't waivers?

 

[tandino]

Of the former players, who is under 21?

Essendon has contacted every player's mother and every one said they weren't the Triple M caller. Bombers still unsure who rang in.

Christ almighty.

Alternatively she might have been worried about the consequences for her son if she outed herself. Now I am 100% certain that this would be unfounded and the club would do the right thing to support the family, but I can easily see someone that wracked with emotion not being completely rational about something like this.

Of course they would have been. Do you think the club is less concerned about (for example) Michael Ross' health than anyone else?

 

[Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm]

Yep - The playing group of 2012 and 2013 were all invited to the meetings

 

[DonsRule]

The first one they weren't, but ever since than all 2012 listed players were invited I believe.

 

[tandino]

There are no former players who were on the list last year and not this year, and are under 21 as of today.

 

[Old Campaigner]

I think the truth will be known sooner rather than later. There are probably less than 40 candidates, if she said she hadn't been able to make it to a meeting with the club then that would narrow it down even more. The club will really really want to know if this is fake because if it was it was hugely defamatory and will likely result in legal action (unless it was some mentally ill person doing it for attention or whatever).

it was a question dumb ass

 

[hugorune]

Why? Essendon has fully supported the parents at every point of this mess. She'd have to be some kind of conspiracy lunatic if she couldn't see that - and those people tend to be identified fairly early in the piece. There are too many contradictions now to credibly suggest that the person was a real parent, and not just some girl with a grudge against Essendon deciding to test out her acting skills.

And I gave you the answer champ.

 

[Stormin10]

How many on the Essendon list are under 18???? Surely those over 18 dont need mummy holding their hands???

 

[Jab]

Whoever did it would have to know that the public and the club would want to know who it was. If the mother is legit, she would be naive to think that the club wouldn't try and contact her, which the club should have done. If it was a hoax, they would know what the club would do and that the radio station would help track them down.

 

[Can Opener]

Can someone plz put this Mexican drugs at sth yarra clinic into some context for me, I'm a small business owner so haven't had the time to follow this correctly, but this seems so inexcusable. My faith in the club with the direction it is taking I must admit is starting to erode these past few days as a result of this one claim!!!

To be fair even if one of them was, they are unlikely to admit it.

People have done crazier, stupider things though. I'm not sure if consequence is something that would cross the mind of someone who could have potentially staged that call

 

[rines]

The truth is not what someone tell's you, it's what you believe!!

Therefore, I believe the lady who rang Triple M today and she is probably airing the thoughts of every parent down there that are too scared (not from the club) of the repercussions from their sons, friends & the like to say anything.

Tim Watson is the spokesperson for all the parents because of who he is, his media experience, 2nd favourite son of club & not because he is dad of Jobe & I think he has done a good job so far albeit he was a bit shakey Tuesday night after the parents meeting, for reasons unknown.

Like most of you, I'm over it, it needs to be over, the sooner the better, for the players & for us all to move forward.

Welcome to the board friend.

Tell that to Goddard after he has kissed both his sisters and mum after every game........

Obviously you don't have kids as it doesn't matter what age they are, parents will still care & want what's best for their kids

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

ffs

Deserves an academy award if it really was fake ( I can picture a room full of Nida grads patting themselves on the back), but will go with true for now.

I don't believe it was fake, however I could fake it just as well if I wanted.

 

[Zach Package]

would also stand to reason that the player would be able to identify his mums voice, and would more than likely out her

 

[Kakkle]

That is a downright lie by the Herald Sun - I imagine they (Essendon FC) know who it is by now, how many mum's down there talk with a slight kiwi accent.......

My room is a mess at the moment, but if anyone has a copy of the Round 16 Football Record (Game against Western Bulldogs) , there is a page which has a list of players which has the birth place of parents born overseas. IIRC, we had the least amount. DVU & Lachie D were the two players (memory is hazy there)

i actually meant "it was a dumb question to ask"
