Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.


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.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
