The appointment of Dean Rioli to the board needs to be called out for what it is.

The Bombers. stuck in a 1970s timewarp, trying to reinvent themselves as progressive modern thinkers about the game.

This will end in tears. Dean Rioli has no capacity to be a productive board member. It is appalling tokenism at its finest.

Apparently Barry Young has withdrawn his nomination for the Essendon board. Didn't know he nominated but it saddens me to see former RFC players want to jump on that Titanic. Liked him as a player hard and tough nosed, lots of energy.

Not all that surprising. Played more games for them than us, and played finals for them, it was back in our bad old days.

Yeah, remember Barry well. “i am the toughest player in the AFL” says Barry….. his teammates thought that was hysterical. He was a hard nut that’s true, but with that type of altered reality thinking, no wonder he fitted in well at Essendon.

I remember him doing a number on Clarko at the PRE. Think he got 4 for it.

I see the Essendon Football Club’s medical advisor (;)) Shane Charters has today been charged by police for trafficking illicit substances. Believed to be Testosterone. 4 counts. Said Shane “i’m innocent, never touched anything illegal till I got to Essendon and saw the good stuff they had floating around”, “it’s a stitch up”…

Mark Robinson to write a piece on corrupt police singling out people on trumped up charges who have never done anything wrong. Never. It’s all bull dust. It’s not fair…etc,etc,etc.

Nothing to see hear. All a misunderstanding. Every club was doing the same. Essendon & Hird unfairly picked on. I'm sure he's shocked to be reading the article.

He and Essendon should have been booted from the AFL until they can let the players know exactly what they were injected with.

Not the first time Dr Ageless has been pinged for supplying all the dubious noms. For me, it doesn't matter what the smudgers of history say. Hird n Woewodin's Brownlows will forever be tainted due to their heavy involvement with Charter.
Obviously also, Essendrugs and Jabbies entire saga reeks with the same stench of all the old East German, Communist Europe gymnastics, Cycling, China swimming etc doping saga's of years gone by.

Tigers were keen on Josh Eyre too weren't they Spooker, I recall the RFC bidding for him.
We obviously went cold on Josh Eyre after bidding on him 2 years ago, delisted by Essendon and now training with St Kilda.
