Essendon 2013

[The Sleeping Giant]

It's about cheating though, so the Crows being mentioned is relevant.

This is about Essendon cheating, AFC have been penalised - cas closed. What will the Dons get?

So all the crow fans are over the Tippett saga and have moved on?

What?! Crow supporters hold a grudge and continue to whinge about something, NO never

A hypocritical crows supporter???? Yeah sorry, I forgot they don't exist.

Obviously a bit of success has gone to your head WUB

given the crows manipulated the salary cap, who is to say they didnt go beyond the boundaries of drug use?

Robbo and Gerard Whateley just fired question after question at Hirdy on 360 and Hirdy looked like he wanted to kill them

Wouldnt you?
Its only an hour or so before the game and that knob Robbo is asking quality questions like "Are you the man to lead Essendon forward " they then try to get him to answer questions that he is legally not allowed to answer

What so you expect them not to ask any questions regarding all this ACC report?

If this was any other side, robbo and gerard get first interview with a coach (say Buckley) and they don't ask a single question about the drug stuff, you would be claiming conspiracy and they take the pies lightly etc:

[mighty_tiger_79]

journalists were just doing their job

yes its annoying but the bombers put themselves in this predicament

I think we will be seeing a 17 team comp somehow. AFL will basically do nothing as it really is out of there hands. You have a fedral police investigation, which could possibly lead to arrest. Then you have ASADA and from what i've seen they are pretty harsh. Basically anyone involved will more then likely be banned from professional sport. You can't tell me all these people involved in the club didn't know or question why these players where being taken offsite for "vitamin injections". How many times have we seen a player go down the race during a game and get a jab for a injury? so what's the need to take them offsite for a vitamin injection.

Its my understanding the ACC has cleared us.
The ASADA/WADA case on the other hand worries me

Until some facts are published detailing what people have done wrong, it's business as usual.

Exactly, may take up to 12 months to find the truth.
We will just play on and cop whatever whack comes our way if guilty.
Intetestingly our membership has skyrocketed this week so plenty of supporters still keen to get onboard

[Jim05]

Easy win over the Dogs in the first NAB game.
Good to see the roids working early

[mighty_tiger_79]

bombers, get on them now for the flag, cos they are likely to blitz early in the season again like last year and when they become favs or close to it after 8 - 9 rounds, then lay them back on betfair and either way theres money to be made. surely the injuries will re-occur

last i heard was they where going to be investigated, so from my understanding they hadn't even started with looking through essendon. I don't think much will done to essendon through the investigation, apart from disrupting trainings. the ASADA case is the scarey one, if there is enough evidence then they could put a ban on them playing until a outcome. So basically if there taking a ban substance which it looks like they are then you can pretty much kiss could by essendon.

What about new players to the club. My understanding that this is mostly through the 2012 season. So does that mean Goddard, Daniher and the othe draftees are still ok? The reason why I am asking is that if the AFL are down to 17 Teams it will seem that Bendigo might be strong this season. If Goddard isnt banned but the team is out then crap you need he would want to be playing somewhere.

Not one bit... just pointing out the obvious.

Bombers no longer aligned with Bendigo, fielding their own side in VFL.
