The AFL would like to announce that it no longer officially hates the Essendon Football Club.
This change in policy follows a highly productive meeting between the AFL’s CEO ANDREW DEMETRIOU and essendon’s paul little.
Sure, unofficially there’s still a host of issues that need to be dealt with and a simmering resentment that won’t go away anytime soon.
Officially however, both parties agree to say all the right things publicly. Phrases such as ‘fresh start’, ‘in the past’ and ‘genuine goodwill on both sides’ are all going to get a good run.
This is obviously a positive move forward but it’s not like the AFL and Essendon are going to move in together or anything like that. The AFL is just not currently ‘actively hating’ Essendon.
The AFL is hopeful that the relationship can progress over time and one day the AFL and Essendon may even have a sleepover.
The meeting itself was productive and the AFL was very pleased with the range of finger food on offer. The lack of vegetarian options was seen as a big positive.
The AFL was particularly impressed by the club’s admission that everything was their fault and the AFL had been right all along.
During a tour of Essendon’s new facility, the AFL was pleased to see no junkies, no one shooting up, no used needles and no members of the Hird family.
It is the AFL’s view that, with the hating over, the AFL and the Essendon Football Club can now focus on hating more productive things. ASADA, Jeff Kennett and salad were all mentioned as potential opportunities.

What's there not to hate about Essendon after all they gave the world James Hird the player, James Hird the coach, James Hird the Chemist and James Hird the French Scholar. Without James they would have to find a reason to waste a million dollars of non pre- paid salary savings, even Steven Danks couldn't help that much on a chemical weapon programme or any program involving the weapon for that matter.
Days of our lives starring Melbourne divas Tania Hird and Andrew Demetrio as daytime friends buying each other coffee to throw at each other at the bus stop where their limos pull up to collect them in Toorak ghetto each morning is fast becoming a media hot spot waiting for the next episode to be filmed.
Wouldn't miss this long playing soap opera for anything, well perhaps Essendon to beat the Suns would be better, definately better if they could beat them in a footy match even . Oh well dreams can come true once the players cross the white line without breaking a straw anything is possible we can all loath them and not even feel guilty, you know the feeling you get when they present enough evidence to find you not not guilty.
