Essendon = Entitlement
- Thread starter Number8
- Start date
And just heard he is part of the committee undertaking the review. Progressive club.
Yep got to remember those glory days, when they would take performance enhancing drugs and still only finish 7th
Even when cheating, they still can't get it right
Favourite twitter account. Will be a sad day when it shuts down. Really need them to crack 10k. Under 10 years now.
There 150 celebrations are clearly the reason they got the Friday night slot from the AFL. I hope they get absolutely flogged.
They’ve got 3 Friday night prime time games in a row.
Druggos vs Carlton
Injectors vs Saints
Exposeyourveins vs Eagles.
Sheddy is a *smile* stick.
What a flogger wants the AFL to apologise to them about the drug saga.
The AFL should grow a set and tell then to GAGF

I'd be very surprise if Sheeds wasn't reprimanded privately if not publicly. Sheesh you get fined for criticising an umpiring decision.
What happens now? 3 options for the AFL as far as I can see:
1. Do nothing, don't respond. Probably most likely but comes with its own problems. Can't see Sheedy, Corcoran and co shutting up about it, it will keep rearing its head, which is a problem for the AFL. How big a problem depends on how loud and regularly they keep at it, but its a problem.
2. Apologise. Can't see it happening. As I said earlier, the AFL botched the handling of it, but not in the ways Essendon have deluded themselves into believing. They botched it in the course of trying to shield Essendon, help them.
3. Full AFL mea culpa. They come clean on what they stuffed-up, how they would have done it differently, detail and explain what Essendon actually did, which they have never done as part of their obfuscating strategy. And read Essendon the riot act and intervene Melbourne-style and radically reform the joint.
From the perspective of the AFL, which is defensive, reactive, corrupt and lazy, 3 isn't an option so its between 1 and 2. I'd bet on 1.

The AFL kept the floating fixture in place (which everyone hates) so they could avoid giving dud teams the Friday night fixture like they did a few years back with the bloose. And THEN they go and GIVE THREE Friday night game to the Bummers IN A ROW - really you couldn’t make this stuff up if your tried 
I literally cannot wait for that Bummers / Eagles blockbuster in a few weeks. Edge of my seat stuff.
