Jobe took banned drug

It's a pity this didn't all happen in the 15th century so Shakespeare could have written a play about it. Or maybe he did. Macbeth seems to have all the requisite players including witches making a vat of prohibited substances. James Hird would be Macbeth having 'murdered' Matthew Knights. I wonder who Lady Macbeth might be. Mark Thompson? David Evans?

Dank could easily fit into the first scene around the witches cauldron LDC

 

My understanding is that the afl gets funding amongst other things from the government. If the afl thumb their noses at asada or wada and Fi it alone the government would need to denounce them and cut off all ties or we would risk other participation such as the Olympics.

Ie there is more at stake than just how the afl want to react.

I'd the government decide to black list the afl that is very bad.

exactly

The latest dope on the Essendon scandal

Given the drug shouldn't that be the skinny on the essendon scanadal

Is it only me who thought that the AFL have appointed a outside committee to over see this as a way to distance themselves from the punishment Essendon may receive?

 

"The ADRVP appointed by the Federal Sports Minister"

not by the AFL

"The ADRVP appointed by the Federal Sports Minister"

not by the AFL

so lets see...

we have wada, asada, adrvp, afl and the federal Government with the ACC watching for any crimes

all these regulatory/investigative groups and the afl get to make the final decision on punishment

oh, and then there will be the lawyers, barristers and courts

no wonder this goes around in circles.......too many chefs


well the ACC ASADA and ADRVP are ALL gov...lol..

More chefs than a Telly show !!

Kevin Bartlett on SEN this morning asked an interesting question.

What if Essendon made the GF and a negative Essendon Decision came through on the monday before the GF.

What happens if Essendon then lose points

No GF?

What a joke!

No wonder Lance ran them round in circles for decades.

I will be surprised if there is a decision before this season is finished.

If the AFL, as the principal footy organisation in Australia, [censored] foot around this they will lose support in a big way - governments, sponsors, and the general public.

Essendrug and their coach "The Golden Boy" made a very poor choice in trying to gain advantage by at best questionable (at worst totally illegal) means and must be held to account. Stripping of all premiership points for two years would seem a minimum if players are to be spared personal suspension. The NRL have imposed similar penalties for far less. It would be interesting were this to be imposed what could happen to free agency and the trading season wrt Bomber players.

PS: Moderators - [censored] foot is a quite legitimate expression. It refers to the bit on the end of a cat's leg, with the claws on it. Why is it censored? Looks a bit overzealous PC stuff to me.


best comment from a current player so far

briath anasta fox sports

what mature aged player would allow himself to be injected under any circumstance 50 times in the abdomen

just about sums it all up

Did Demetriou tip off the Bombers the day before they supposedly outed themselves ?

ASADA aware of phonecall by AFL ( Demetriou ) to Evans during their crisis meeting (News - Herald Sun)

Murkier and Murkier !!

It seems apparent to this reader that the AFL ought have no involvement with this investigation as it seems it cant be trusted to be maintain intergity.

Tsk Tsk Tsk Andrew. If this can be substantiated youre for the chop mate.

It all seemed too convenient that Essendon came out a couple of days before the big announcement by the ACC and govt. The media had been on their backs for a couple of months leading up to the big press conference where James golden boy looked as though he was caught with his pants down whilst denying any knowledge of anything and taking full responsibility for everything. Something he has now backed away from at a rate of knots.

Someone definitely tipped them off, whether it was AD or not there was a tip off that turned them around from threatening legal action against media outlets to self reporting.

Man I wish this would all be over and done with. I want to go back to my ignorance thinking clubs are of pure heart and the AFL are always above board on all matters.

Add "everyone tried to win every game"


You are almost as cynical as me Ctm!

Years ago when a friend, a restauranteur from a certain subcontinental country, was caught drink driving, he asked me who do I need to see about fixing this up and how much will it cost?

I told him that is not the way things work in Australia

These days I think that I might put an * beside that statement and add one or two provisos

Are you talking about the same AD that's putting together a bail out package for our club, the guys the best CEO the AFL has ever had, I for one thank him for what's he's doing for my club at the moment and so does my 8 yr old boy, hopefully in the next season or 2 we can start seeing some wins again, by the way if AD had of let us run our own show we would probably be out of business by 2016, short memories by certain posters on Demonland.

I sure am.

If he is caught having done something untoward then he will have his own problems. The AFL has all but signed off on our money. That wont change now.

What hes doing or rather what they *( the AFL ) are doing for the MFC is separate from any dealings that AD might have with the murky world of Essendon Pharmaceuticals !!

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
