Sam Mitchell missed the 'let's all move on' memo.

[LoungeLizard]

There were a lot of cricket writers who expressed their distaste quite strongly as well as a fair number (not a majority) of talkback callers who expressed the opinion that the Australian team was behaving unacceptably.

And the end result was we will leave it to the umpires?
And the umpires were fine with it

 

[Badesumofu]

until proven otherwise they ran a supplement program

Nonsense. AOD9604 is not a supplement. Nor is the mexican mystery drug - or any of the other stuff.

Freakin hilarious Hird calling Mitchell 'naive and idiotic'.... bit rich from him!!!

Love it was a Hawthorn person to sledge it so visibly first - nothing would burn Hirdy more!

 

[ESKIE]

Mitchell and their angry little coach taking the hawkes unsociable football to new levels

Angry little premiership coach and premiership player

Suck it up, Essendon have been unsociale for many many years...your turn now

 

[lethalselbow]

lol!

 

[manicmagpie]

Except to Hird it's all media propaganda what happened at Essendon. When asked what he thought about Dank being banned, refused to answer the question.

Here's a hint hird - if you want a different viewpoint to the media propaganda you need to tell a believable story. Part of this would include answering questions that may be difficult. And surely it would have been easy to say "Steven Dank was not banned for activities relating to Essendon Football club according to the AFL anti drug tribunal findings"

Yeah, it's all just propaganda that Essendon had a massive injection program going on. Personally I blame it on those anti Essendon propagandists like Ziggy Switkowski and that Jobe Watson guy spreading all those false rumours stating that it occurred.

 

[lethalselbow]

Hird's level of naivity and idiocy doesnt lessen Mitchell's

Yeah, you stick to your guns on that.

"Naive and idiotic."

 

[Hollow Knight]

Jesus, what a massive stink over nothing. Who really cares?

Spoonful of cement for the wowsers and we all move on.

 

[mxett]

Because of the hordes of wailing pissants currently sweeping majestically in formation across the media landscape...

maybe he should stick by his actions then

 

[billy hutch]

Bowed their heads. Knew there was no come back.

1.Hawks set the pace in injection science- Sam Lane QC
2.Remember the Heidelberg Papers - Killed off in the courts.

Talking will be banned on footy fields soon.

Dunno actually; my recall (which may be incorrect) is that the team felt the pressure and changed their behaviour (slightly). Then other teams started to catch up in the sledging department and it seems more open slather; those who had thought "gentleman's game" seem to have gone quiet and realised its as dark and edgy as any other sport with big money so codes of behaviour are more relaxed.

 

[ESKIE]

Cry us a river

 

[mxett]

Nonsense. AOD9604 is not a supplement. Nor is the mexican mystery drug - or any of the other stuff.

didnt realise they were charged for using AOD or a mexican drug

Just shows the character (or lack thereof) of the man really.

He is the best

Just shows the character (or lack thereof) of the man really.

As a Carlton supporter I would love to have Mitchell in the side. Nothing wrong with a little bit of sledging after all its true so bombers suc it up. After all it was not Mitchell jabbing your players that was Hirds corneys I actually loved it great for football

 

[The_Reaper]

Hird's level of naivity and idiocy doesnt lessen Mitchell's

Mitchell isn't naive or an idiot.

If we're generous, Hird is a naive idiot

No-one has told Warner yet?

 

[Hollow Knight]

Guy that hired Stephen Dank calls someone else naive and idiotic.

 

[John 2505]

Sam would know, Hawks were leading the way on injection science.

Obviously this comment is from a football supporter that is from another world far far away.

 

[ESKIE]

Sam Mitchell ..... So brave

 

[Sector 7G]

I missed it. Was Mitchell's apology as heartfelt and sincere as Alberts?

 

[John 2505]

Essendon and James Hird would all love us to forgive, forget, move on......not going to happen. I'll move on when the person responsible finally takes responsibility for his decision to introduce something that has bought shame onto the Essendon FC. Until that day, he, Hird and the Essendon FC will just have to learn to live and take it...like they did with the jabs.

BRAVO BRAVO well said

 

[eldorado]

maybe he should stick by his actions then

Absolutely correct.

A bit like LanceUppercut but in reverse, my respect wasn't as strong after the apology...

But the man's man world of dish-it-out-and-take-it only lasts while he's on the football field. Once he steps off it, he's back in Pissweak "Won't Someone Think Of The Children" world...

 

[basashi]

Good on Sam Mitchell.

 

[DERIBERATE]

He seriously looked like he was going to crack up laughing.

So, yes.
