Essendon 2013

[Jim05]

No player is above the game. Wonder if hird understands.


Move on Jim? Lol. Cheats, pure and simple.

As supporters we cant do much more than move on. Nothing I can do will change anything.
I will still be signing up as a member again next year

[Jim05]

Agree JK, how do they basically get a first round draft pick in 2014? Crows didn't get that

They cut a deal to prevent Hird going to court

[The Sleeping Giant]

WOW how pathetic are the AFL? I thought the Crows got hit with a wet lettuce leaf for their misdemeanor (which they did), but in relation to the nature of disreputable activity, the Bombers have waltzed through this. Surely the AFL (or more to the point Demetriou or Mclachlan) have made their own mistakes in this fiasco to for the penalty to be so light??

Still may be more to come with ASADA.

CORRECT

Positive is no wooden spoon

I got a feeling infraction notices are not too far away with those penalties especially regarding to the draft pick sanction.

AHH but that will be Jobe and his players!

Maybe the Crows should have threatened legal action too.

[cripple]

Very soft at the moment remembering that connolly got 12 months for not tanking. Hird will come back in 2015 as if nothing has happened.

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.

[Jim05]

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?

[Johno6]

Hang on. What had been happening with the bombers?

Been too focused on voss getting sacked from the lions.

[the joker]

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

[Killa]

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.

[JK]

Sheeds sit in the chair for a year to keep the crowds and members coming in?

[The Sleeping Giant]

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.

[daysofourlives]

Penalties announced
No points lost but Essendon excluded from finals
Lose Draft picks 1&2 This year
Lose Draft pick 1&2 in 2014 but will gain a pick at end of Round 1 of the draft
Hird suspended 1 year
Corcoron suspended 4 months
Thompson fined $30,000
Reid adjourned until Thursday
$2m Fine

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

Don't remember Chris hiring human rights lawyers to fight his battle.
