See, that's kinda what I was aiming for, for the blog to flow through seamlessly to the forum, for forum posts to be upgradable to the blog, and for the whole damn thing to be accessible through tapatalk.

It's all pretty close to that- though you're right, a bit of a style change for the blog probably wouldn't hurt.

They'll struggle. Struggle and triumph!

lol, who was that cheeky test bugger

It all depends on the asaga. I actually think we'll be "In the mix for, but not quite scraping into the top 8" level competitive if it gets knocked on the head by CAS.

Otherwise, it's gunna be an ugly, ugly season.

The ruling is supposed to be delivered some time next week (Or at least a deadline for the ruling I think) - so at least we'll have closure leading into the season. (famous last words!)

Tell you what though, the asaga damaged my love of the game hugely. It's starting to improve, and I still love playing fantasy, but I dunno, it's all changed.

Would love to know what lasting effects it's had on the psyche of the greater community- if any, or if it's just effected the Bombers fans.

Or maybe I just take it too seriously.

Totally over it
From an outsider's perspective;
Feel the EFC has gotten off way too lightly so far
Feel the Ess players have been made to take the blame/heat/consequences of their employers actions
Feel delight Hird has gone, at best he was an incompetent manager

Hopefully the issue is dead in a few weeks, that, the death of the sub and finals footy for the giants will make the season a lot more enjoyable for me

Seems crazy doesn't it.

Ian Robson walks into the CEO job at the Melbourne Victory
Dean Robinson walks into a Associate Director of Mergers and Acquisitions at KPMG
Hirdy scored a massive contract and a plum overseas education opportunity.
Demetriou joined the board of The Bastion group, joining McLachlan, in a company that directly competes with Hirds Gemba group.
Senator Kate "Blackest day in sport" Lundy now works for the Bastion group.
Liz Lukin, the PR agent that was put into Essendon when it all broke, was appointed the head of the AFL's corporate affairs.
Heck, even Dank picked up a gig in the IPL and is now winning libel cases against the newspapers.

So much of the whole thing fricking stinks, and at the end of the day, it was the players (and the fans) who were left holding the can.

I dunno, if the CAS ruling comes back unfavorable, I foresee a fairly large dent occurring in the foundations. Particularly if it leads to the players lining up to sue the club. Could get very ugly.
