Well this what his last comment. The start of a PR orchestrated campaign to subtly "ready" fans for the day of reckoning.

I thought he spoke well tbh. Maintains that the club haven't deliberately jeopardized the players welfare but acknowledges the seriousness of the investigation
Also said that there was nothing untoward in the boos from he crowd whilst rubbing it in that the crowd may have motivated not only jobe but he team as well which probably is accurate

Tim showing where Jobe got his strong charcter from.
everything is a PR stunt hey?
I don't think there's an Essendon fan alive who thinks we won't get some kind of punishment. AFLPA alone will see to that.
oh shiii....
yeah I sure did. Still not convinced it wasn't... but seems that way. Crazy old week whatever it wasNow I don't think this was a PR stunt either but you did think jobes comments on OTC were club sanctioned as part of some master plan.....
And I will admit I shared that view at the time
He looked a shattered man.
Not a situation you would like your son to be involved in, made worse by the fact that Jobe was mainly put in this position by some of Tim's closest friends and former colleagues.

Will there be an emergency draft of VFL, WAFL and SANFL players?
Edit: Misread the suspended sentence part. Seems fair.
Where's this mail coming from?
Jobe should be ok if his Dad is running things.
Apparently Tim is running the show, yes? When will Tim be handing down the sanctions, morning or afternoon? I think it's poor form of Tim though to announce it before telling his staff as ASADA.

I don't think the can be fully suspended sentences under WADA.
It is something like up to 75% of the sanction that would be applicable can be suspended.
Tim Watson. One other thing.
He said a while back he would be shattered if Jobe had the Brownlow taken off him. He was decidedly more fatalistic about it just before.

Agree.. if it was all the club's fault (no ASADA stuff up) and the players were all in the dark, that would seem fair. AFL announce it near the end of the year so it doesn't impact the TV ratings and Bombers can compete properly next year.
I guess they can't take away all their draft picks? If people retire you need to replace..

Don't know if it means anything but its a bit of change in attitude.

If it's case that they play for no points this year then they may be able to backdate the suspension so it started at the beginning of the 2012 season so they can play at the start of this year and suspend the rest of the sentence.
It happened with Contador , his ban got backdated and he ended up up only serving six months suspension.
If that is the case I would call that fair

Oh b-b-but, they haven't done anything wrong! You just don't understand the intricate and sensitive workings of s0!
You're getting carried away. That's not what I said or meantJobe should be ok if his Dad is running things.

There are other sports. Go follow one
The best players don't win Brownlows anyway. Matthews, Ablett, Carey...
