Mega Thread The inevitable Essendon verdict megathread - not convicted, but the circus rolls on

[footy4ever]

I fear this may be the blackest day in Australian sport.

In that a guilty verdict will still only result in pissant penalties.

 

[Haduken]

This is pretty sad from you OP. Trying to get on the front foot and everything. It won't make it any easier.

Welchers are not welcome in this thread.

I have never paid less than $1100 for a suit?

 

[Plugger35]

I reckon it will be a slap on the wrist, maybe a few weeks ban at most so they don't f*** up the season too much having a VFL standard Essendon team getting flogged every week with their kool aid drinking supporters deserting them in droves and losing the AFL money.

Meanwhile if you're a lone wolf like Saad or Crowley who made a minor mistake with a protein shake or a painkiller ÁSADA will come down on you like a ton of bricks with a 2 year ban.

Whatever the punishment Essendon and Hird will have their reputations tainted for life so that's some consolation.

Happy for the Bummers players to cop a light suspension, aa long as James Turd is removed as coach ..

Seeing the golden child fall on his sword would give me the greatest satisfaction

He won't fall,he has proved that he will have to be pushed ever so slowly onto said sword.
More satisfaction in this scenario for mine!.

 

[Chaisa]

The main thing I'm hoping for is for Hird to get banned/get the sack. Which sadly given how much kool aid Tullamarine is drinking probably won't happen.

$100 or $3000 it's still the flog that's in it that makes a suit.

You sound poor.

You sound poor.

I just don't need to throw $$$ at a suit to look good.

A few thoughts.

Correct me if I'm mistaken but I'm under the impression penalties won't be revealed on the 31st, that the tribunal must reconvene to determine them.

We're all hoping for two years and dreading three games. That said even three games would open the floodgates for player lawsuits and possibly Workcover involvement. Not to mention Essendon being formally branded the only AFL club found guilty of systematic doping and James Hird being run out of the game.

Worst case scenario the charges are dismissed due to lack of evidence and the dark cloud of suspicion hangs over Essendon for many years to come.

 

[Waverley]

Yep, either way it ends badly for the scum.

 

[Chief Ten Beers]

I hope they get backdated bans since Sept, then WADA come down on the AFL with all its might and enforce two years.

Or a Hird 10 year contract extension.

 

[True North]

Can't f$%$#$^% wait. More anticipated than the 9thMond Blooz irrelevancy cup.

Correct, but they'll be banned until that penalty is handed down.

They could conceivably be kept waiting 5 weeks, then get a ban that amounts to 3 weeks, oh the lulz that would come.

 

[floki]

It'll get really entertaining when MCDevitt hands out the collected evidence to all and sundry regardless of the verdict and ol' Brucey goes supernova.

 

[vjknight]

What makes you think we want your sympathy? You can't even spell norf correctly

You might not want their sympathy, but in no time you'll be envious of norfs bank balance.

Yes norfs. ****ing embarrassing huh ?

 

[vjknight]

Just need the heads replaced.

Losing the AFL money! What.money they will be spendinh on the shit tank club known as stkilda

Of course no team in the AFL will match the Pies/ state Victoria bank balance

The literary wonder Les Norton on more than one occasion was heard to say

"STOP POSTING"

You need to put that into practice.
