The bookies would be the most happiest mob tonight. This is something that should of happened to the storm a couple of years ago instead putting them bottom.
LOL at the clowns at AFL house appealing for Essendon fans to turn up to a dead rubber. Then Dimwitriou appeals for Dank to be interviewed, why the hell would he?
I wonder if they keep Hird now. he will be back at round 22 next year if he stays. He cannot enter an AFL ground for 12 months though. The draft sanctions will hurt as alot of bombers players will want out now and their contracts will be void if they do
Can the bombers be whacked again through ASADA or they consider this appropriate action in the future about a possible team infraction notices if the players get done.
The afl no doubt wanted this done and dusted before finals. I'm sure they didn't want to go through the courts for months and months with hird still coaching, and a team playing finals that didn't deserve too.

I assume if they are to finish 9th that means there 1st draft pick will reflect that so would be around about pick45-46 then.
Won't be a good look if Hird comes back on 25th Aug next year and see's them to a flag 5 weeks later
