    I'm over it.
    FFS Watson hasn't got the balls or decency to hand back the Brownlow and the AFEL havn't got the balls or decency to take it off him.
    Both are weak as PISS and a DISGRACE!!!

    Re: ASADA issues show-cause notices to Essendon players

    I literally cannot understand this.

    Allowing Jobe to 'present a case' just shows that the AFL, sorry, AFEL, STILL aren't taking this seriously. What kind of argument can he possibly offer? It just shouldn't be an option. There is no option. He can't keep it.

    Only thing I can think of is the AFEL protecting themselves from being sued by Jab if they don't give him that option to present his case.

    It's used regularly, most commonly as 'jaxie'. With TD being super proper he's not one for cutting corners.

    With legal fees racking up, Dons posting nearly $10,000,000 loss. This is before the large volume of expected legal actions from players start to come in. I really hope the AFEL financially supports them, or rather, you know they will.

    He can't even get bikies to stop taking pot shots at him, how's he gonna get Jobe's Brownlow back?
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    Pretty hard to see how the bikies missed with such an inflated head.

    Might have to be a BBQ in the local park because I don't think he's allowed onto AFL property.
