Should the AFL let Essendon fold?

[T2B_]

You're officially salary cap cheats, Thanks alot Fremantle.

The funny thing is Essendon have the salary cap cheating stuff covered as well.

Are there no children they will think of!?

 

[Thrawn]

Your definition of destroyed seems to be a little incorrect. We'll see on the 1st of May I would guess, ho embarrassing for you if we win...

It's your BF identity, howeve you justify your obsession matter little to me. I just wanted to warn you that you look like a moron. Cheers

They wiped out most of your starting 18 in a year, they convinced the CAS to give you the maximum penalty, and now you your club is looking to get sued.

On the contrary, you downplaying such a momentous decision in the game's history makes you the moron.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

If anyone asked you ten years ago which teams would be up the creek without a paddle, Carlton and Essendon would probably not have been the picks.

Will the players sue, if they do, could you reform a team of players that just sued you out of business?

 

[A Cut Above]

And yes, Essendon should fold.

No, disposed of in one of those public toilet syringe bins. Syringes don't fold.

I agree except for one thing.... James Hird should be given to The Lord of Light. Because the Tulla shed is dark and full of terrors.

Good point. They will never play for Essendon again. They are at the foundry with Worsfold now. That's it. I don't think any will go back.

Um, 10 years ago we won the spoon and were going for back to back.

 

[Hawkk]

You wish D/H. You're just as much a pathetic obsessed muppet now as you were before. We're not going anywhere, based on how bad your team is we may still even finish higher than Carlton, as we do most years this millennium. Why is that? Is it because your club is still reeling from its own 'filthy cheat' status from back in 2001?

You are such a bitch princess

With respect Essendon have proven themselves to be much bigger cheats than Carlton.

According to the WADA charter you really should be deregistered. Fortunately the ex players will do the billing for you

Carlton were reigning wooden spooners. I'm sure people would have picked them but that probably would have been more due to wishful thinking than actual projections.

You are correct about Essendon though.

It really does intrigue when posters such as vjknight and Thrawn, who no doubt have awaited this outcome with bated breath and lube at the ready, end up melting harder than the supporters they are supposed to be laughing at.


A truly fascinating phenomenon

LOL join date.

Lame analysis needs lame response

 

[zackah]

lol at all the minnow flogs desperate to see us fold so there is at least a small chance their club will be around in 10 years time

Can't we just all agree that you are both morons?

Meh

Its almost a certainty that Essendon will rely on AFL handouts more than any other club over the next 30 years (inc GWS and Gold Coast) how does that make you feel minnow?

 

[Bunk Moreland]

We've seen Scottish Football (with a little help from the taxation department) allow Rangers FC (a club that was richer, more famous, successful and powerful than Essendon) to liquidate and reform...

When the inevitable court cases emerge and the compensation claims flow should Essendon be allowed to wind up, cover their dues with a new franchise emerging in their place?

The Bombers FC (est 2018)...sure they'll lose the flags (the last 4 were tainted anyway) but the shameful history and culture that has riddled the club for 145 years will die with it.

Desperate times call for desperate measures and it shouldn't be up to the heavy lifters to keep the leggards in the competition

Rangers also has the minor issue of 150m quid in outstanding debt.

I suspect we'll be ok.

Pre or Post (ex) player law suits.

Who will be footing the bill for the 12 (plus 5 at Port Power / Scrays / Dees and spike McVeigh) in 2016?

Multi million dollar player suits await. Mercy better contact Kotchies financial warriors

Amazed that our supporters aren't so fairweather that we had to beg Melbourne to merge with us 5 years after winning a flag?

What are the players sueing for?

You'll be far more ****ed then that. I mean how many Flight Plans can you pull just to pay for Hirdys legal bills plus the Weapons unfair dismissal case

 

[Hawkk]

Their 2016 wages for starters

 

[The Swert]

The bitterness in this forum is nuts.

No true fan should ever want to see a club fold.

What has happened here is the fault of a few bad people, not everybody in the club and certainly not the club itself which has a long proud history.

We have seen countless corporate 'cheating' that results in ligigation against the directors, not the company as a whole. Yes sometimes this results in the collapse of the company, but usually only in finance/banking companies where they were inflating their financial situation and on shaky ground anyway.
Companies usually don't fold from breaches of the law. The law usually chases the Directors at fault.

A company of larger than Board of Directors and a club is larger than it's staff too.

Well the OP is the same pipsqueak also getting himself lubed up over the fact that many lives and families will be set back in Geelong when Ford closes.
Whether they follow the Cats or not is of no consequence to him, he's just that bitter at the football club.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

You'll be far more stuffed then that. I mean how many Flight Plans can you pull just to pay for Hirdys legal bills plus the Weapons unfair dismissal case

Insurance brah. The Weapons been paid out and so has Hird. Last year.

Their 2016 wages for starters

They're being paid in 2016...

If a massive and proud club like Rangers can fold, then the AFL should definitely let pissants like the Tulla Bombers die in my opinion
