Mick Warner's book The Boys Club also covers this topic - interesting reading what he has uncovered re how little interest the AFL showed in Dank/Robinson's involvement in Melbourne FC and Geelong FC, why Robinson got a million-dollar payout instead of a penalty and why they seemed so terrified of being brought before a court to testify. It's a fascinating read.
@@chrispykreme4288 Probably because that awful Hawthorn team won three premierships in those years. Everyone else kinda fades into the background when you do that.
Do one about the 2004 Prelim Finals, and how Port were given an extra days rest and the Lions had to play a home final at the MCG essentially ruling out the chance for four flags in a row.
Watson handing his Browlow back is sad. Thank God Dr. Reid didn't get fucked over. He had conscientious objections about not being in the loop and that shows with the AFL backing down when he threatened legal action.
Amazing series thanks mate! You should do one of 2020 and how appalling the umpiring is and the state of the game. How it's the most frustrating to watch the afl has ever been.
Its 2023 now and its getting worse. Congested play, terrible skills, bad kicking, dropped marks, players kicking snaps from directly in front of goal and kicking out of bounds. Its like a comedy of errors,
Ima also gonna point out the bombers are in a good position financially speaking. They didn’t take any money from the AFL and earlier would’ve been about one of six clubs that could wear the shut down pretty easily
Being an Essendon supporter myself it’s easy to get frustrated. Obviously with the drug saga and our inconsistency in our recent years is tough. I’ll always love the Bombers but it’ll be a while until we are up to the standards of our 2000 team.
Do an explanation on what made hawthorn the great 3 peaters, there is a lot to base it on with their finals losses both 2 years prior to their dominance
You will no doubt remember Julia Gillard, and the CEO's of Rugby League, and the AFL at a press conference telling us about widespread PED usage, links to organized crime, etc. What happened there? No prosecutions, no other AFL club had any problem. It was all political posturing. Dank, at the very least, should have had his license to practice revoked.
Jobe Watson deserved his Brownlow despite being chemically assisted? Is this some kind of joke? You can argue he won it because he was taking prohibited substances in the first place! They're drug cheats and deliberately didn't tell ASADA what they were taking. Jobe should've known better, being captain. They made their bed.
Thing that bothers me most now is they still don’t know if that’s what they took because they never tested positive for it also sucks ass and I they can’t prove they didn’t take it because apparently all the information was destroyed. It’s still baffles me that only recently the essendon board was held accountable for this and removed thank you David Barham.
Meh, their list isn't that good - you can attribute that to Dodoro. They're a mid-tier team at best. It'll hurt even more if Joey decides to explore his (free) trade options again.
As a die hard bombers fan, i have to disagree with your comments re our list and culture. We argueably have the worst development program in the AFL. Every high end draft pick we have had in the previous 10-15 years has never reached there potential. 2006 - gumbleton (pick 2), jetta (pick 23) 2007 - david myers (pick 6) 2008 - michael hurley (pick 5) = success 2009 - jake melkshem (pick 10) = fail 2010 - Dyson Heppell (pick 8) = good but not a star 2011 - elliott kavanagh (pick 18) delisted after 4 years 2012 - joe daniher (pick 10 father son) = success and fail 2013 - zach merrett (pick 26) = star 2014 - kyle langford (pick 18) and jayden laverde (pick 20) = jury's still out 2015 - darcy parish (pick 5) & aaron francis (pick 6) = so far this is a disaster. Parish is ok but not consistant and not a star which at his age, pick and position is a fail. Aaron francis has serious talent but his head and heart isnt in it and a trade to an sth australian club should be done. 2016 - andy mcgrath (pick 1) good but is he better then taranto at pick 2? I think not.
ASADA: Essendon players are Not Guilty. Play on! WADA: Lets change the rules of investigations so we can get a guilty verdict. We're far too powerful to be beaten by an Aussie Rules FC. Dont worry about all the grey areas or the original non guilty verdict, we'll get what we want... Watson losing the brownlow was the worst.... The brownlow is ther leagues BEST and FAIREST, so after watson handed it back it went to..... Cotchin.... THE BEST Mitchell... The FAIREST hahahhaha that actually made me sick. Both accounts couldn't be further from the truth there...

As a bombers fan who was fairly young during this saga I never really understood what was going on, these videos have been really helpful! Thanks
Another legendary video from the great man!
thanks for the nod to watson, 100% the most tragic part, gun player great captain
Cheater though
It's a remarkable comeback, literally should have folded with all that finical trouble but kept above.

do one on why the dockers were so good 2013-2015, even though there list was one of the worst in the comp.

Do one about the 2004 Prelim Finals, and how Port were given an extra days rest and the Lions had to play a home final at the MCG essentially ruling out the chance for four flags in a row.
And the Saints throwing away their Premiership too because the fans stormed the field in the 2004 PF
@@toc1409 was that where Gehrig kicked 100?
@@PatrickVS101 yeah and they didnt go off for ages so the sainters momentum was gone, then they lost by a goal.
Can u talk about Richmond's comeback in the 2014 when they won their last 9 games to come from 3W 10L to 12W 10L and just making the finals.
And then cotchin won the toss and kicked into a strong head wind 🤣
I think it's time for part 3.
I am very glad that I found this channel. Very entertaining.
No mention of Dank working at Gold Coast Suns or Geelong in 08-09?
I said the same thing
I felt bad for Essendon fans, because Essendon fans went through a lot of crap no fan base deserves to go through this.
Even if they were guilty the fans shouldn't be expected to go through that.
At least they seem to be coming out the other side
Imagine if the afl made this, keep up the great work
Harry S too bad we fucking suck

great video mate!
They still
the loss today hurt doe
Another great vid
man, the back half of this vid has aged very badly, very quickly
Yep. As an Essendon fan it hurts like hell with how bad they were.
elite mate great stuff
Jagger did you mention that thymosin beta 4 might be linked to various types of cancer?
Let’s all learn about Essendrug.
I feel like soon this will need a part3 and Jobe Deserves his Brownlow back
Very interesting the 2 players that appear right after you mention finals again are now leaving..
Do an explanation on what made hawthorn the great 3 peaters, there is a lot to base it on with their finals losses both 2 years prior to their dominance
did he really say Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti whoever he is
It's a joke buddy
Please do a Western Bulldogs one about either the late 2000s prelims or the 2016 season. Or one about fitzroy
Could you do a video about the crow's fallout
6:12 made me laugh very hard 🤣🤣🤣
OP, great narration and video series. Are you a bombers fan?
No I'm a Dogs fan but I try my best to stay impartial
How long does it take you to make these videos. Seems like 5 hours plus. Great content either way!
Would love a vid on the geelong cats rise
When saints win the 2020 premiership make a 40 part series of their return to glory please x
This video has not aged well.
i cant get over the fact the playser did not ask what are you planing to injet an seed no wen they were not inform of waht was in the injetsins
Jobe Watson was robbed :(
God 2 months is a long time in footy. Essendon back to being a rabble already

Yeah came back. We haven’t come back yet haha.
Can you please do a video on the swans 2017 comeback to make the finals that year after a 6 game loss streak
Kinda bummed out after the St Kilda game ngl but great video nonetheless
Very good, loved it. How about the eagles in I believe 2006
Dank af😊
I guess they were serious about “whatever it takes” 🤣
cheers boss
Hawthorn dynasty next pls king 😍😘😘

What about the weagles drug scandal with Ben cousins?
I think if the club doctor is raising concerns about an injection program the club is running then you'd have to be a fool to ignore it.
Jobe Watson deserved his Brownlow despite being chemically assisted? Is this some kind of joke?

I get that it's a joke, but whats the meaning behind pretending he doesn't know who MTW is?
As an Essendon supporter that lives in Perth the eagles fans that only know who Nic Nat is don't shut up about it and they don't know lots about it
Who’s watching after Daniher, Saad, Devon Smith, Tippa and Fantasia all might leave
You goose smith n tippa aren’t going anywhere lol don’t know where you heard that one lol
The rosy picture you painted of the efc at the end of part 2 hasn’t aged well. The place is still a snake pit.
Meh, their list isn't that good - you can attribute that to Dodoro. They're a mid-tier team at best.
It'll hurt even more if Joey decides to explore his (free) trade options again.
they do have a pretty good list but very little depth, like this year has shown if they sustain a few injuries they dont look a good side at all.
