Sounds like Fitzpatrick genuinely believes his own propaganda.

Surely an anouncement is imminent on the JT case, and this may be Fitzpatrick getting public pressure on JT and the team.

Oh who cares. Just a rehash of his sentiments.
You might have nailed it there, wazza.
Perhaps Fitzpatrick is taking out insurance on adverse finding or has whiff that it won’t be a good finding for the AFL.

'Tanner said he had chosen not to attend a recent gathering of disgruntled Melbourne-based club presidents, arranged by Hawks boss Jeff Kennett, because the Bombers had “no complaints” about the league’s administration of the game.'
Even outside the saga, this is just ridiculous. Or rather, it’s just a continuation of the same kow-towing bullshit that we performed throughout the saga. Gutless.

Lindsay left out a paragraph.
“ But for the AFL intervention in the ASADA process, none of this would have happened to its player employees to whom it owed a duty of care. Fitzpatrick and Demetriou have moved on. I know that Gillon feels a deep sense of shame for his own role in that and how he misled the club”

With that pissweak response, following on his other pissweak performances, Lindsay (“I am the Perfect Man For The Job”) Tanner should fark right off and follow Neeld out the door.
As for Fitzpatrick, we all know he is as crooked as Vlad so just hope that they will both get what they deserve.

Seriously farked up. We are the AFLs BFF…there needs to be a clean out of the whole joint. We are the laughing stock of the AFL…they rape us by farking us up the ■■■■ and then we voluntaty get on our knees and give them a head job. Talk about Stockholm syndrome.

That free kick against Fitz in the game against Essendon still burns deep. He looked so shifty delivering the sanctions against Danny, Bomba Jim and the club knowing that, like Demetriou he should have stood aside on grounds of conflict of interest.
What other organisation would have permitted those orchestrating the charges to be the decision makers?

Here’s a tip for Fitzpatrick: clearly so performance enhancing that everyone got injured that year. Usually the athletes that get done for actual performance enhancing stuff actually win something.

Waleed Ali said something on Off-siders a couple of weeks ago, to the effect that it’s not a good look for the AFL to be the all powerful investigators and judges in investigations.

Tanner owes an explanation to supporters of what he considers the right thing the AFL did by us when we were in deep trouble.
If he had said anything like that when in Parliament the response would have been : “ Not even a feather to fly with”

All this talk about not having an identity anymore…
“Whatever unhappiness anybody in the Essendon fraternity may have had about the AFL in that period, they should be absolutely 100 per cent supportive of the AFL in the last couple of years because they have done the right thing by the club when we’ve been in deep trouble.”

Fitzpatrick’s words about Essendon being co-operative under Evans tenure confirms what a few thought of him - not prepared to take on the AFL, not up to the fight.
