Yeah, youâre right. Not sure why I thought it was his first back. I guess itâs because I remember those â â â â â â targeting Hird before the ball had been bounced. We played Brisbane a few rounds later.
I guess when youâre the biggest club in the land and dominated news headlines for the past 5 years people donât need much reason to write about you. And given the public perception what better way to give the gagging masses what they want than âEssendon player does something utterly disgracefulâ.
The Essendon name is evil, the club is evil, the players and coaches are evil, the admin is evil, the supporters are evil. And anytime any one of those groups does something itâs evil.
As others have said, the Hooker âscandalâ is so brazenly and transparently click-bait that itâs not worth anything but being ignored.
Meanwhile, last Friday night Tex Walker bravely ran around shoving the Catsâ midfielders in the back behind play and the commentators were saying how much they loved the âaggressionâ.
Can you imagine the media if we draft Dustin Martin. They will be in orgasmic heaven. Theyâll be saying stuff like, like attracts like except for the tatts. All the Bombers players will be lining up at Jake Kingâs Tattoo Parlour.
That bit isnât funny. I realise that itâs fun to make light of horrible things that are far away from you - but some people have been affected more than others by it - and itâs not funny, believe me.
I liked it, We need some mongrel and intimidation back. the best sides already have most teams beaten in the mind before they walk out.
That being said, now youâve done it against what a 3rd odd gamer, youâd wanna back it up against better opposition, and esp next time we play north with more than likely tarrant playing.

How f*cking precious has this game gotten? Honestly pathetic.
Go and watch our 2000 premiership team and witness what they did to their opponents after they kicked a goal. Or better yet, watch them get into the face of an opposition player when their opponent missed a goal.
Playing a gentlemans game doesnât win you premierships. Why do you think the media are bringing it up?
