Essendon board issues statement: Help! We’re stuck.

2 Comments

Help! Can you hear us? We’re trapped.

We’ve gotten ourselves stuck under this giant legal mess of our own creation and can’t get out.

Anyone? Is anyone out there? It’s really heavy.

It turns out ‘Stand by Hird’ is a really, really expensive strategy.

Now James won’t let us ‘Run away from Hird.’

Not that we didn’t have plenty of earlier opportunities.

It takes a special kind of stupid to spend a king’s ransom in legal fees and still end up a hostage.

We’ve basically snookered ourselves.

Even Dean Robinson out thought us legally.

Why didn’t everyone warn us? Except for all of you who did.

At this rate, we really may be stuck in this position until the end of time while at the same time hemorrhaging money.

Why did we pursue a strategy that everyone knew was a disaster before it even started?

We’re stuck in quicksand now. The more we do the worse it will get.

Please help. Even we are starting to see the error of our ways.

Essendon FC board.

If Danks can clear James and others as he has states why doesn't he ?? I believe James and the players are innocent but James has some duty of care to answer too as he is the coach please hurry up and do something this is so wrong for the players and their fans

If you weren't here to show the funny side I think I'd be crying right now. So far this has been a 2 year joke with no punchline in sight, all because a few big ego's wanted an easy walk to a premiership and they still don't care about the consequences of all this.

We've lost Crameri and likely both Ryder and Winderlich so far. A 2 time premiership coach is being rejected in favour of the ever increasing ego himself James "I know nothing" Hird. Who knows how many VFL players will make an early leap to AFL after ASADA does it's thing.

The "Stand by Hird" crowd clearly have Stockholm syndrome at this point.
