AFL targets Essendon Royalty

Re: AFL targets Essendon Royalty

Sam Newman reckons he has a stronger grasp of the process than the President of the Footscray Footy Club.

Newman's completely irrelevant in football.
A Botoxed big mouth

I think he is going senile in his old age. Talks complete dribble but always gets flogs in the crowd to support his ridiculous views.

Sam Newman, Andrew Bolt, Alan Jones. With friends like that....

Exactly. I wasn't surprised at all, but for the fact even the morons in the crowd couldn't around his "man of the people" rant.

The thing that surprises me most is that anybody still watches TFS.

Jesus.

Fair point, I tuned in to see the reaction to the Essendon stuff. Should have known better. How can anyone actually openly support that Club right at this point in time? Hitching themselves to the wrong wagon.

People talk which is publicity which is ratings. What exactly did the stupid old fool say?

Just had a little squizz over at Bomberblitz, and Jesus — it's pretty bleak for anybody hoping Bombers fans will see the light one day.

Guys: If this ever happens to us, promise me you won't check your brains at the login screen.

I can promise you I will be leading the charge to have the people at our club removed from office regardless of who they are. No one is bigger than the club.

There was also some guy by the name of Michael Smith ranting on twitter about Peter Gordon and his involvement in the AWU case that involved Julia Gillard. Basically he was questioning Gordon's integrity in light of the AWU issue.

Who is this knob?

If i was him I would walk & tell Hird to get stuffed! Tell them you won't get anything for me either.

Litigation has started. The other problem Essendon have - getting real ugly now.

One of Melbourne's top compensation law firms is believed to be in talks with an Essendon player over the supplements scandal.

An industry source told Fairfax Media that national law firm Holding Redlich was providing early advice to at least one individual from the embattled AFL club.

PS - this is the first time in 3 years of going to the gym that I've actually collected the Herald-Sun. Normally I'd be embarrassed to be seen in public with it - but I couldn't resist this morning.

Kudos to PG for leading the charge too - spoek before the meeting, and was the 17-club president spokesman after the meeting. Perhaps other clubs respect him as much as we do.

Knowing people close to Sam Newman, Sam is actually an idiot. Can't count to 21 unless he takes his shoes off and unzips his fly.

Ex shockjock going after Gillard. Made the complaint to Vic police and now IIRC 8 fraud detectives are investigating her and two others. IIRC they raided Slater and Gordon. Allegations re Gordon and his law firm include failing to inform their client of what they discovered about Gillard's behaviour.

He really embarrassed himself worse than usual with last night's rant. He didn't get his usual crowd support, Barrett sledged him - and he looked pretty rattled afterwards.

Was good to see.

Like others - if I watch TFS - it tends to be until Barrett's news wrap up, and then I flick over.

Peter Gordon is very well-known for being anything but an AFL puppet — he has credit in the bank from the '89 fight — and therefore if the 17 clubs want to give the impression they are speaking on their own behalf, not just as mouthpieces for the AFL Commission, he's the right guy for it. Gordon or Maguire, and Eddie is mixed up with too many of the Essendon boys.

Barrett really gave it to him, and he (Sam) was certainly on the back foot. I think it's a deliberate ploy by Sam for ratings and nothing more — watch the Footy Show and see what Sammy is going to say next to put his foot in it deeper.

Yeah, and he is a good hater. However, from what I've seen I'd expect Gillard to be charged and do time.
