The vultures are circling now.

Sleep well James.

Clubs should just refuse to play this team.

And then demand the 4 points from the high moral ground - I agree!

When are we supposed to play them?

Four, if you include Nick McKenzie whose name appears at the bottom of the article. Mind you, Baker and McKenzie (the journos, not the law firm) are a bit like Lennon and McCartney. Both are credited with writing what perhaps only one really produced. (And, for trivia freaks, it's 50 years this week since The Beatles recorded "She Loves You")

Thanks for the reminder on how old I am LDC!

How they claim its not performance enhancing is beyond me, how slower can some one who weighs 100kg run compared to that same person at 95? Not prob a lot but over 4 quarters and with less effort to drop the bulk they all put on it means they dropped the weight quickly and could train harder, as for during the year when they are only allowed to run X amount of ks mid week, an injection means they don't have to work as hard to maintain their weight.

Did anyone hear that idiot Robinson(AFL360) say that the investigation could not be completed until Dank had been interviewed???/

From what I believe.....Dank is under no obligation to speak to anyone......Is under no obligation to turn up for an interview.....Even in a court of law he could be summoned but is still not obliged to say anything.

This is not a criminal investigation.

Robinson is an Essendon supporter

What a joke of a journalist....

TB-500 (=TB-4) works fabulously-well with horses:

TB-500 offers many benefits to the equine world in performance racing. Recent trials by some of the world’s leading trainers on their prize winning equine members of both genders, have been credited by a huge boost in their race-day results, something long desired in the racing world.

These trials along with clinical trials have indicated the following benefits associated with the use of TB-500 on mares and stallions*:

  • Increased muscle growth with huge increases in endurance and strength noted
  • Relaxed muscle spasm
  • Improved muscle tone
  • Increases the exchange of substance between cells
  • Encourages tissue repair
  • Stretches connective tissue
  • Helps maintain flexibility
  • Reduces inflammation of tissue in joint
  • Enhances nutritional components in the animal
  • Prevents the formation of adhesions and fibrous bands in muscles, tendons and ligaments.

When these proven benefits are viewed in conjunction with the fact that 60% of a horse’s body weight is muscle, it is clear to see the full potential of TB500can be reveled in by majority of the horse’s body.

^^^ Good get Champ.

Send this to David Evans, his speech to the converted on the Essendrug website is just incredible.

What he is saying is just flat out false...desperate measures i suppose.

Essendon President David Evans went on line on Bomber TV to address his club's members seeking to clarify the situation with regard to player use of peptides but, if anything, the fans would be more confused than ever. Pure spin when there was no need to say anything.

Who are the parties "external to the club" who have an involvement in this sad saga? Why go into the area of whether or not AOD-9604 is performance enhancing when that issue is irrelevant to the investigation?

Worse still, by failing to clarify anything at all, Evans leaves it open for the journos to place their own spin on things in order to clarify the clarification.

Wow, and we copped a $500k fine for not tanking but employing officials who told wry jokes about it.

Go figure?

Lucky he didn't joke about it.

It is irrelevant whether the substances administered were performance enhancing or otherwise. The big issue is and always will be the duty of care to players and the massive breakdown on processes.

You are right they need a new name to reflect their true Values.

What about Messodon, EssDrugs, The Cheaters or just the DH Loser Footy Club?

Well the real penalty they deserve is the lose of every game over the past 15 years!

PARTY TIME as the MFC would have won its 13th FLAG (2000 Grand final).

As you can see, winning Premierships is not hard as you just have to wait for a bunch of DH to run the oppositions Clubs and the true rewards will follow ie as what will happen to the EFC.

I wonder if any of the recent ex MFC employees will apply for the soon to be vacant positions at the EFC?

I give them all a good reference.

That is just not true. It has just not been proven to be performance enhancing (yet) which is a different thing

In fact there is evidence that it may have performance enhancing properties

Of course this is all irrelevant as it is banned under wada code s0 anyway

This is good stuff but in the interests of accuracy I correct one error :

"over the past" should read "over the next"

Hilarious the way David Evans eyes jump around as he reads his lines.

Finding this all very entertaining . Those poor buggers must be beside themselves with worrying .

Will it be points, will it be suspensions, will it be the draft..will it be big money or

Will it be all of the above !!

The poor diddums !!!

Cant see how they can possibly escape free now.

Far to many cracks in their stories :rolleyes:

But like Collingwood they are one of the untouchable Clubs in the AFL.

Maybe untouchable by the AFL .... But luckily others are involved and they carry bigger sticks and couldn't give a toss.

Its just a matter of time. And even vlad has no control over that.

Essendon will get whacked . Not an If...just how and when.

How dumb do they think we all are ??

Not performance enhancing ; just took it 50+ times because they like being jabbed with needles ???

Exactly If it isn't going to help you get better then why jab yourself with it each week?

Agreed, DC. Introducing red herrings like this might seem like a smart distraction to some, but if it is banned, then it is banned. That is the point of the WADA list.

I hope you are right.

TBH I have little faith in the AFL as they have so many discrimatory policies

The AFL may rule thoroughly and insolently only whilst it is in full control of all elements.

Such has been its ability until......

That would be now. Such is the overiding nature of WADA.

Brave new world huh Vlad. :)

Unwitting lab rats

If nothing else Essendon has shown utter disregard for its duty of care.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
