id have thought 1 and a half ( and a bit ) ...lol

Bombers got off lightly for the worst scandal ever in the game.

Footy Manager gets 5 months for running the scheme and CC got 12 months, an absolute disgrace. Scheme found to have injected unknown drugs to players that may or may not be banned and/or harmful.

In 2014 they go down a few places in round 1 and only lose round 2 draft pick. Pathetic.

It pays to be a powerful club if you are going to do the wrong thing.

when does Vlad resign ?

Our turn is coming Redleg the worst is far from over.

Yep. Just another lunatic in the asylum.Well maybe one of the better class lunatics.

Do all lunatics in asylums wear an unflattering bikini like your current bio pic Bitter? Must've taken you a while to get that cozzie on. Impressive. Good for you. Don't listen to what they say.

can we charge the AFL for being the game into disrepute?

_{As I look on the MFC web site for information about the AFL investigation all I can see is this add about funerals can be expensive.}

_{Is the Club trying to tell us all something?}

That was my sister Moon. I posted that pic offering you a date. Now she's hurt because you didn't respond. You are a thoughtless bastard!

And how can Connolly's (at worst stupidity) be equated to Hird's dalliance with substances that could injure others?

Surely CS should have know as he had everyone reporting to him from the Tea Lady to the Entire Coaching Staff.

I think your sister was too much woman for Moon.

You just need to keep looking for a real man for her.

The whole process is nothing but a joke.

As is the way the AFL conduct themselves with reports.

I am not too worried at this stage about any investigation of us. The publicity over this has been horrendous. We are also inches away from collapsing and the AFL know this. Also we were the only tanking investigation despite plenty of evidence of others.

Which only means the MFC is an easy target for the AFL to attack again.

Put enough pressure on and next thing you know we will be called the Hobart Football Club.

I don't trust anyone in the AFL as they all appear to be unprofessional thugs.

I disagree. The penalty was imposed for poor governance and specifically not drug cheating. The offence was therefore not much different to Adelaide and Carlton cheating the salary cap or Melbourne joking with intent. Everyone knows that each of those offences are clearly designed to bring the game into disrepute and that's why in our case they rolled out the Gestapo to bully our people into submission to the point where I believe one witness confessed that he used to admire Benny Hill and that's why his comedy was so behind the times and lurid. We can't have our community exposed to these things and that's what resulted in CC being sent to purgatory.

On the other hand, a far more powerful body than the Gestapo still awaits the Bombers. It's a big fish called WADA and its little helper ASADA is nutting out a report which will be no laughing matter when released. It might get Jack Trengove for dabbing some cream on his toe but only if someone can figure out what it was or wasn't. There's a suggestion that it might have contained nothing more devilish than Viagra because Jack's been running around like he's carrying a heavy load until lately.

Anyway Redleg. Melbourne has nothing to worry about because Dr. Bate's prescriptions are apparently illegible. Essendon, on the other hand should prepare for some infraction notices on players and that's when the punishment gets tough.

A fish called WADA

gold !!

That is not my worst case scenario TBF

The Doctor who headed the AOD safety tests, said that Doctor Garnham doesn't know what he is talking about, when he told the players' parents the drug was safe.

He said that they found a cancer link under testing and that is why the drug hasn't been passed for human use.

Clearly therefore the players and their parents have been misled again by the club.

This is disgusting. The Doctor said you can't rule out side effects from use of the drug. The mother who rang the radio was right, the Essendon players were used as guinea pigs.

God help the club if a player gets sick or has other issues from the use of these drugs.

Hopefully it will not happen, but it can't be guaranteed.

I think the behaviour of Hird and the club has been disgusting, in not accepting the true consequences of what they ran as a supplements program.

For Hird's Counsel to label him heroic, is a disgrace of the highest order. It is a disgrace to all the true heroic acts that have occurred.

These people still don't get what they have done.

Here's the article from of all places, the HUN which through Robbo and Whateley has become the EFC's news sheet on AOD-9604 lately.

Australian expert says not enough yet known on on anti-obesity drug

Whateley, who I once admired greatly, has IMO stained his reputation over this with the manner in which he disingenuously promoted Garnham's story about the drug and his enquiries with ASADA and incorrectly interpreted it to mean that its S0 classification was irrelevant. The Age's investigative team has been all over Robbo and Whateley who would be best off going back to writing about Black Caviar rather than engaging in tabloid journalism.

Oops. I think I might have gone a bit early with the Black Caviar line.
