Me too in part. I am still a member of Collingwood, but stopped going to games over the past two seasons. I support CFC, not the amateur hour that is the AFL. _________________ Est. 2002 |

I take a diffrent point, as i have always said.,.. i have no love for the Bombers...but from a fair legal standpoint. The bombers were vindicated and were treated fairly badly by the media (a few journalists will be spending a while in the courts i think).
Think of ASADA's case in the context of a murder trail:
- ASADA had no murder weapon (positive drug tests) ...none at all. unlike the case with our boys in strife.
- ASADA also had no witnesses they failed to bring Dank or Charters or any of the other individuals before the court.
Now if that was a murder trial....what honest court in the land would find the defendant guilty?
Dave i feel your passion, but get angry at ASADA, not essendon....it is ASADA that has failed. Essendon may have been guilty of poor managment and a dodge staff...but not enough evidence at any stage to find them guilty of drug taking. And if they were found guilty then i think all clubs should have been worried. _________________ "To know nothing of events before your birth, is to forever remain a child" - Cicero (Roman Lawyer/Senator) 46 BCE. |

ASADA is also at Fault but so is the AFL because they Listened to ASADA/
I also noted some other Reason that the AFL was being Nice to the Bummers. When they Should not _________________ I am Da Man |

I have no question that the AFL had an interest in protecting the club...but what were they suppose to do? hang them out to dry? that would be like a bank sacking all it's staff because one staff member is accused of stealing. The AFL at the end of the day is a billion dollar business....why would they destroy that? ...the alternative is that we go back to being a suburban competition if that is the case. Like i say...the lesson that has to be learnt from this is that the AFL has to be more worried about what is going on at club level. But we the fans i think also have questions to be answered...as we are the ones that demand such success from our clubs....that drive clubs to greater and greater lengths...lol perhaps it is even deeper society question who knows. _________________ "To know nothing of events before your birth, is to forever remain a child" - Cicero (Roman Lawyer/Senator) 46 BCE. |
