NH: Essendon stripped of points
...and I've had to answer questions at the Commission and ASADA enquiries.....

Fair enough. Sounds like an agreement that suited both.
(Pretty sure I heard Demetriou say that it's only hird sayen I tipped essendon off, noone else is aying i tipped them off)

After hearing Demetriou on TV and radio the last few nights, you're sayen opposite things to what he is saying.

The Situation. They have not been banned from the draft. They have lost 1st and 2nd round draft picks.


Rather than being stripped of points and working out who gets those points, they've been placed in ninth position. AFL wanted them to participate in the minor round, hence the timing of this.
ASADA is a slow moving crab, crawling sideways.

And why is he a hero still?
If my kid was playing at Essendon, and Hird knowingly was making him have injections whilst knowing that there are side effects to come from them, I would be heading the lynch mob to get him out of town.

My question is about who will coach Essendon until August 2014?
I believe that Essendon have promised Hird a return to the coaching role after the suspension is served.
Not many would want to coach under that condition, unless Bomber Thompson steps in for the short term?

I went to the Forestville v Eastern masacre yesterday, Forestville just awesome but overheard Pero tlaking to someone after the game. He told this person he wont be around for finals cos of a euro contract.
What does this mean for the eagles? Granted they arent using him much, but looking at the numbers against north he had quite an impact and i am sure will be a factor against Norwood.
Will this affect them? or are they just far better than the rest of the comp anyway?
