    What if he was never employed by the Club and everything he provided or advised, was checked by the Doctor, ok under the WADA code and done through him. Then the statement is 100% accurate.

    Is it not possible he was advising on the use of legal supplements, to be supplied through one of his connections and was never employed by the club?

    No lets just sack everyone, without giving them the chance of reply.

    Then why not say that? Lying by omission.

    Didn't he organise times to meet the players? i'd say that's direct contact.

    What u mean ? this is the first anyone has heard of it

    Not trying to offend, but it may be the first time you have heard of it, but it's been out there in one form or another since early February.

    As many others have suggested, it's the fact that the club tried to play it cute by stating that Dank had not 'officially' been employed by the club, yet he was clearly working with, or at the very least advising, the club.

    Maybe Scwab can come back to do the press conference for Don tomorrow, so we won't look quite as stupid.

    Took the words out of my mouth Redleg, I will await the clubs reply!

    I'd sack the doctor and whoever was involved in any form of cover up to the AFL. If that's the whole football department they then can all go.

    Craig knew, Misson knew

    What if it's Bate's fault?

    I know he was a whipping boy, but surely we can't put this on Matthew Bate.

    We should blame Jack Watts or Garry Lyon.....

    "High performance with high integrity".

    I always start getting edgy when I hear people talking like this. Why the need to invoke integrity? I'd like to think that it's taken as a given.

    No, he arranged times for the players to go the pharmacy. There's no evidence (yet) that Dank was there or administered the injections.

    STEVE DANK TO DAN BATES (male voiceover): "When will we start Jack Trengove on the AOD?"

    DAN BATES TO STEVE DANK (male voiceover): "Tomorrow. Where can I get him to pick it up from?"

    STEVE DANK TO DAN BATES (male voiceover): "The Pharmacy. Tell him to ring me and he can meet me there."

    To be fair, there is no evidence that this meeting actually took place. As it stands, the texts imply that it did, though.

    Let's hope Trengove wasn't that stupid!

    *edit* oh and FYI, I believe that AOD is the substance that it is being reported that ASADA are trying to pin on Essendon...

    I wasn't worried about any of this, until i saw the AFL tweets about wanting an explanation. Surely we would have fully disclosed all contant with Dank, innocent or not once the Essendon stuff came out. Even worse, what if the CEO / board didn't know about it.

    What, are you for real?

    If you are asked a question and you answer it truthfully, then according to you, unless you volunteer other matters, you have lied.

    If all of the allegations in the 7:30 report are true, the coaching, fitness and medical staff need to be replaced, pronto!

    The club's statement has distanced the MFC from these actions and placed the responsibility squarely on Dr Bates. This is a complete cop out and those involved need to be held to account.

    Thanks for the laugh!

    Early start tomorrow, so bedtime for me. I'll wake up in the morning to realise its all just a bad dream!

    Yeah, goodbye coaching/fitness group

    At the moment being a Melbourne supporter is like being in the eye of a cyclone. With all the chaos going on around us, having no control on it's direction, i'm actually calm because being surrounded by chaos is all we know. It's our normal.

    I dont see a statement anywhere?

    First, my post is in reference to us saying he was never employed by the club.

    Second, what if the SMS messages are fake or he never actually met the players?

    Third, how is it direct contact witht the players if the SMS is to a Doctor and he then never got to meet the player?

    Haha you must be a lawyer, yes?

    How must our players feel. They all knew they were sitting on a ticking time bomb. What lies could the power brokers at Melbourne told them? Oh don't worry about the AFL they wont find out? Or we cleared it when them don't worry. I can certainly understand some reason for their insipid performances. They've been lied to continuously.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
