Jobe took banned drug

Recommended Posts

Jobe opened his mouth without thinking now his been told to shut up. The AFL is in a pickle they dont want to take points of Essendon and dont want to suspend their players during the season. The AFL is probably praying Jobe does not poll well in this years brownlow. End of the year just after Essendon leaves the finals the results will be released, 6-8 players guilty, 18 months sentence with 12 months suspended, the remaining 6 months suspension starts immediately. All in all a couple of essendon players dont play the first couple of rounds that might just mean they play GWS, GCS and MFC in those rounds. players come back for the rest of the year all forgiven, club fined $200,000 for unintentional/reckless action with low impact. Drugs like tanking will then no longer exist.

It must be something in the water they give them to drink on the show. We thought Brock McLean put his foot in it and potted us but what has Jobe done to his club and himself. Gerard will be rapt as yet again they have the scoop of the year

...........

Nope. No doctor was involved. That is part of the issue the AFL have been investigating, that the doctors were cut out of the process.

.......

Do you know this? It all revolves around the consent form. If it was signed by the club doctor, saying that all supplements were OK and permitted, then the players may be in the clear. My understanding is the players had major misgivings and insisted on a consent form that included a guarantee that the supplements were permitted.

So where does this go?

The results of this inquest actually determine if I continue to watch AFL. If cheats are not punished, then you have lost my support

I agree with your sentiments........just one point of order though; this is not an inquest and hopefully it won't come to that.

The AFL have some very deep soul searching to do - sounds maybe melodramatic, but the future of the game, or at least the AFL competition as a serious code is at stake here.

I agree with this. If they arent punished severely it opens the door for everyone to do whatever they like. Itll turn into even more of an arms race and ill have no faith in the comp anymore.

The players can never be clear under the prevailing rules once they ingest a banned substance unless they do so without giving their consent such as when the player is unconscious at the time (the only example to date of an athlete beating the rap). Fraud might be another defence but that's probably drawing a long bow.

Watson should not play this weekend. The reasons for suspending him pending the outcome of a final hearing into the charges are more compelling than in the Milne case.

Does anyone know HOW Watson is able to play this weekend?

Or is it merely a case of Vlad being stubborn?

It's not good enough. The benefits of those tides are still there 12 months later i have been told on a number of occasions.

Nothing is done.

Apparently no charges or findings will be released until August. I think that on the back of an admission like this, Watson has to be suspended indefinitely and stripped of his Brownlow. I suspect, however, that he will be allowed to play on and will win his second Brownlow in as many years.

I agree with you, and currently Jobe is second favourite to win his second Druglow medal.

This prevailing attitude by the self anointed demigods at Essendon has to be pulled back by the AFL. The defence that it was someone's else's fault is just a nonsense. What jacks me off is these players and Hird have taken zero responsibility so far.

A little bit of humility by the Watsons, Hird and Thompson will be nice instead of the blameless arrogance they display.

Brock McLean went on this programme and makes an accusation that he left a club because of a culture of experimentation for a club that had a similar culture. The claim is never vindicated and over the ensuing months McLean's position shifted. Yet the AFL acted and created a long running inquiry that destabilized McLean's former club.

Jobe Watson went on the same programme and admitted he was given a banned substance. The AFL is silent.

Why?

because Essendon's behaviour is under the scrutiny of sporting Bodies outside the AFL so either way it pays to keep sshtummm.

Took them a few days/weeks to crank up after McLean's comments. Its barely 24hrs since Watson spoke.

IMO the sh7t is going to hit the fan some time soon. Very soon.

This is now getting very ugly. I can understand why the AFL are saying nothing at the moment, it's to a fair degree out of their hands. They are in a difficult position and the game is in a very difficult position and as someone who loves the game I would hope the AFL don't take knee jerk reactions. If Jobe gets served his notice from ASADA then I think the AFL will have no choice but to stand him down but until that time what is the best thing.

There are going to be some serious ramifications come out of all this but I can't help but feel unease about the long term relationships that will break down. People with lifetime friendships forged from football will be at odds and when the blame game starts things will get very messy.

I don't like this at all.

What is banned is a mute point. Essendon will fight it out in the courts.

Good on them.. (There is a lesson here for Melbourne.)

I hope Essendon and Watson win despite my presence at the ignominious 2000

grand final humiliation.

was that the one where someone called Chopper broke one of our player's larynx?

I vaguely recall it too

ok I will take you very slowly over the facts

footy clubs are made up of president committee coaches and players

the so called scientific people are a side line and make suggestions to the coach about injury recovery and training ideas, its then up to the coaching panel to sort out which idea they use ITS THIER CHOICE

now as for the players, what galah would allow HIMSELF to be injected up to 50 times in the abdomen and think its normal and not ask questions.

we teach our children to be aware of leaving drinks unattended at nightclubs, don't get in cars with drivers who have been drinking, etc etc

and these buffoons allow themselves to be INJECTED

sorry no excuses, 10 years penalty for the coach and all players

then they can explain to their children how stupid they were and maybe teach them right from wrong

also this will serve as an example to all future players

DONT FEEL SORRY FOR THEM

I think this is a far more complex issue than is being reported. The Australian Crime Commission website says that the AOD-9604 is "not currently prohibited" by WADA, and then also says it's not approved for human use. As a minimum, I think there is sufficient confusion that players who were injected or used AOD could claim a misunderstanding.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
