    Absolutely copped it for that statement too.
    Wow. That is seriously one of the most ridiculous things a footy journo has ever said.

      The entire nation is just another arm of the AFL though, right? Anybody??

        Anyone else think Goddard is a hypocritical terd? Condemning opposition clubs for trying to lure contracted players into using the get - out clause. Saying there is an unwritten rule and that it's unethical.

        How about methodically injecting young men under your care with unknown untested substances, also unethical but there is a written law against that fortunately. Goddard is also the same man who was doing a behind the scenes deal with the Bombers a full 12 months before his contract with the Aint's expired.

        Just because he has no financial gain to be had, and the potential backlash would see him playing in a heavily depleted team. Hey Brendan STFU?

        Even if this situation occurs and a lot of players leave, we know the AFL will not allow them to falter too much. We could see Essendon with similar draft catalogues to GC and GWS early years with compo picks they receive

            What a moron... What's the alternative though? A decision next week on Brownlow night, Grand Final Parade, Grand Final day??? Forget the stupidity of the gist, but a nothing day before some sport games is about as inconsequential timing for everything. An all-round dumb comment by someone meant to be smarter than us.

              Thank god it's not he following friday. It might have clashed with the Grand Final parade.
              They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                In fairness the judge himself made a quip at the commencement of proceedings about having a ball - up. Not the sort of gravitas you would expect of our federal court!

                    Oh God help us all if they find in Essendon's favour.
                    Imagine the horror of an exultant James Hird and all the smug cult members ringing in to 3AW and SEN.

                    PLEEEASE NO.

                      I think it will be a half way decision. They are likely to vindicate Essendon & Hird and indicate that ASADA did breach its powers, but that the breach in itself was not enough to invalidate the findings - so chastise ASADA, but still allow them to use the info,,,,,that's just my hunch.
