Even in their win last night they weren't convincing. it was a pretty poor game to watch. Terrible kicking both field and shots at goal. Looks like both sides were unfit and neither could keep up the running.

 

[Masked Avenger]

Haha, he has all the attributes of a really good key defender. You'd think at 27 he'd have shown some of them consistently.

You'd hope he was already that when they decided to splash a Million a year on the lad.

Scott's over the top and public defence of McKay just means that he can't drop him now regardless of form.

I'm not sure he gets that.

McKay should be feted on this board.
Got us pick 3 and then doubled down n stunk it up at *.

Think a statue is in order

How about a mural?

It sounded like McKay was copping Bronx cheers from his own supporters for most of the game at Marvel Stadium, but Scott interpreted them as cheers of encouragement.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Scott with the Trump-like alternative facts.

a disappointing result yesterday, but i guess we can't have them completely bottoming out otherwise they might actually do something about it.

at least there was some ben mckay highlights and it was against port

We need to get them to 8 to 10 wins.

Last night's game reminded me of round 4 2019, when we knocked over the Crows in a god-awful game after starting 0-3.
We then got pantsed by * on Good Friday, reckon the same thing will happen to them next week.

[DesertRoo]

HS has no shame,
without opening the article it already reads like
Lance Armstrong shocked and dismayed at the treatment by the French, when I look up at the statue of liberty all I see is sadness at the way I was treated.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Overbearing pain.

You got caught.

Deal with it.

There, fixed it for you, Jobe.

 

[toepoker]

I actually can miss that. And I will.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Good, tell us what you took then.

 

[Horace]

I wonder if tonight they will deal with this quite unrelated bit of news out of druggy land? Well maybe it isn't when you consider there must still be some continuing unfortunate outcomes from their druggy days of not so long ago.

In the online version of the Age today, it was mentioned that their recruit, Tom Edwards taken in the SSP draft this year, has unfortunately torn his ACL.

A club spokesman was quoted in the article saying that "we are all for feeling him". Poor b******, hasn't he suffered enough, without everyone out there into that sort of activity?

[gokangas]

Oh, the irony. Might end up their sponsor now.

 

[FlyHigh18]

I didn’t take performance enhancing drugs.

So what did you take Jobe?

Umm I don’t know. There’s no paperwork.

 

[Shagga is all Class]

Jobe, drug do cause memory loss. Banned January 2011:

Essendon captain Jobe Watson has made the stunning admission he took the banned substance AOD-9604, but the AFL's reigning Brownlow Medallist remains adamant he did nothing wrong.

The star onballer said on Monday night he took the anti-obesity drug after signing a consent form.

"I signed that consent form and my understanding, after it being given through (club doctor) Bruce Reid and the club, that I was receiving AOD," he told Fox Sports program On The Couch.

Asked if he thought the substance was legal when he was taking it, Watson replied: "that it was legal at the time and that was actually what I was told I was being given."

My regular reminder that journalists should read the CAS decision, which is readily accessible here: https://jurisprudence.tas-cas.org/Shared Documents/4059.pdf.

If that is too hard, the conclusion can be found below:

Just re-upping this to refresh Jobe’s memory.
