Spot on Remi. I'd take Demitriou over non thinking economic rationalists like Oakley (how soon we forget "up yours Oakley") and Jackson any day.

He has also said that the competition needs 10 clubs in Melbourne many times.

Sorry, but I don't care if the Dogs end up somehow indirectly worse off. We can't hack away at Essendon's and the AFL's integrity then claim Vlad needs to stay because it suits our own interests.

Demetriou tried to relocate his old club, he would relocate us in a heartbeat

Excrement, please meet fan

This has now gone criminal. Evans and Hird better pray there is no physical evidence linking them to these clinical AOD trials from an investment perspective. Forget suspensions, they may have bigger concerns like not bending over for the soap.

my thoughts on reading this article was that if proven then there should be some very worried people. I think we are talking life bans for the key people running the program.

They could also stop the special distribution fund.
We signed off on the Etihad farce at the end of the day.
He's not perfect, but if you got economic rationalists in ala Kennett we'd be history.

Vlad has one master, and one master only which is maximising revenues. Whether it be from TV rights, or gate receipts it doesn't matter.

We're only in the game because it served his purpose to ensure a critical mass of games and clubs combined to achieve his goals. If his role was layered with incentives to reduce cost and streamline the league accordingly, he'd send our club to the cleaners without even stopping to put sugar on his Corn Flakes.

You maybe right ^^^ but lets be frank previous administrators Ross Oakley killed off the club.
The other Wayne Jackson is on record advocating less Melbourne teams.
Better the devil you know

Say what you will about Caro, but I'm thoroughly enjoying the fact that she will not let this go. Other journos might fear harming long term friendships/sources and decide to go soft - i.e. every football reporter at the Herald Sun and Fox Footy - but she is going for the jugular and keeping those involved accountable.

Couldn't agree more. Some of the boys club journalists are spineless to be honest.
Hird's condemned by his words when this broke out.
" I'm responsible for what happens in this footy dept"
Yes you are James and everyone involved should not absolve themselves from responsibility.

It's like a weird cult, everyone is lining up to sacrifice themselves just to protect the Queen Bee. Meanwhile Queen Bee is doing everything possible to throw everyone else under the bus and take the fall just to protect his reputation. Hird is narcissism personified.

Someone on the other site said it's like Jonestown 30 minutes before everyone drinks the Kool-Aid and Hird is Jim Jones.

Regarding Evans, if he 100% believed Essendon was going to avoid any punishment surely he would have held on for a few more weeks until the ASADA report is handed in.

He behaves like he is untouchable and likely was told by Vlad that he was. He also has a natural air of arrogance about him likely a residual effect of his playing days.

He seriously looked like a man on the edge when he was interviewed post match on Friday.

Nobody wants to be on the bridge when you've run aground.

I've chatted to a few Essendon supporters. My Dad is one of them.
They seem a little bit ignorant of the facts around their own club's programs. This is a good lesson.
You can let the passion of your colours blind you in the way of reality. Hope every club can learn from this thing.

Leigh Matthews comes out and says he isn't proud of the player he was, despite his success.
This is another good lesson. That old cliche of growth over result. Do we really believe that a premiership is 'ultimate' success, to be gotten no matter what?
