AD doesnt deny talking with Evans that night by phone. Demitrious suggestion he couldnt have tipped off anyone is predicated upon his insistence that ASADA didnt name names ( at that point ) .

How many clubs does Vlad concede he talked to that night ? Even by his own commentary on these events he only discussed talking with Evans. Evans doesnt need to hear the words ) " Hey mate, ASADA has you by the goolies" to know that a phone call from Vlad ( or in discussions during a call TO Vlad ) that ASADA are on to them.

No one denies the panic meeting at Evans on that evening.

Its not all hearsay. Yes some is join the dots , but join then you can.

Evans and Vlad have one version , which of course they would. They cant been seen as colluding......big naughty if so.

Hird and Danny C have a different take on things. Yes there are differing motives and consequences for the various involved so you would have to think each and all are setting up their cases.

Unless Hird is auditioning for Man from La Mancha I cant understand his mega tilt at he windmill without something to go on. Thats a massive ALL -IN. Hird doesnt strike me as a total idiot. Nor does Vlad. They do have differing agendas though.

Whats in it for Danny I wonder. Hes signing his warrant also by siding with Hird. Id be interested to hear Robson and Reid's take on events.. Robson supports Evans but what else can he add to the clarification of that night.. Robson is very likely up to his eyeballs anyway.He also doesnt seem to have known which was up for some time. Reliability factor here very low.

In one sense it matters not who made the call to whom. What is of matter is that Vlad was able to relay ( cryptically if nothing else ) that Essendon were in the firing line. As far as that goes AD is skating on very very thin ice.

As an aside to this is the he says -he says spat . Why is Hird regaling from the events of THAT night. So many other things and moments youd think might worth battling over , but something about that day has lit a fuse.

We dont know what was heard or overheard that night. Obviously not everyone sees it the same way. Shakespeare would love this...lol

What also strikes me as odd , in a fashion, is youd think theyd all be towing the same line here , having got all their ducks in a row and keeping schtumm.

Brutus has a knife ready....Hirdy saw it glean.

    I haven't read everything in this thread, but I'm amazed how many people here choose to believe what's written in the newspapers.

    Crazy isn't it, bit like BB59 when the Boxing Day test story broke, he wanted heads to roll then as well, only an idiot would believe what was published in the paper.

    I doubt if anyone here believes all they read in the papers. As several people have pointed out, you don't have to rely on what's in the press to suspect that something rotten has gone on here. Did anyone ever think it was merely a coincidence that the Essendon press conference was held just before ASADA's? If you did or still do, then the published direct quotes (which are not claimed to be out of context) would cause you to re-think without any influence by the usual beat-up reporting.

    That said, I did enjoy the typical and shameless C Wilson tactic where she uses the word 'caught' in:

    AFL commissioner and lifelong Bombers fan Bill Kelty was caught visiting Hird several months ago when the spotlight had turned to the Essendon coach.

    The crux is how many clubs did Vlad contact on that night.

    Suprised a journo has not raised it.

    If Vlad only spoke to Essendrug...well....

    I think this story was well known before that night

    my feeling is THAT night was the start of the scrambling for chairs

    yes but if Vlad spoke to all 18 Presidents that night to cover himself then he is a smart man.

    If it was only Essendrug then he may also be facing a bleak future as Head of this organization.

    I wouldn't call it overcommiting myself.

    But as i said if Vlad only spoke to persons at Windy Pill then he has left himself wide open down the track.

    Maybe I've not been following this closely enough, but I don't see that as proof of innocence. Innocent until proven etc of course, but there are lots of scenarios where someone (the spiller) spills the beans without personally initiating the contact with the spillee. (Fred Dagg where are you.) Whatever the truth, it is still a remarkable coincidence about the timing of the Essendon and ASADA press conferences.

    I think a lot of the subterfuge currently being uncovered goes to the idea the AFL and Essendon dont /cant want the majority of Essendon players wiped for even 6 months.

    its called PANIC !!! lol

    Agree BB, I think their stance of rather than come clean, to just respond to any findings reeks of yes we've been busted but you guys only know the half of it. Coming clean early could be putting themselves in it.

    It says something about our season and the last six years that 24 hours before a game

    we are all talking about another team that we are not even playing.

    Anyone feel like dancing on a grave?

    Stuart O'Grady asked to resign or will be terminated.EFC carry on as normal.The whole saga with drugs is a clusterfcuk.As far as I'm concerned pain killers are just as insidious as every other drug banned.

    Either ban them all or make them all legal cherry picking what drugs are legal is crap.A player having 25 pain killing jabs a game or an athlete blood doping.Both are drug induced outcomes.

    Isn't it funny how a while ago the text messages between Hird and Dank were made public. Remarks from Hird that the players "were buzzing and up" at training after injections and commending Dank on his good work.

    Yet there's an argument that the AOD9064 isn't or wasn't performance enhancing, it was just banned.

    Does ASADA or WADA need any more validation about performances being enhanced?

  • Quote

    The question at the forefront of all this is still...WHY

    Why would they use this stuff? Not to lose weight, they are elite athletes .

    It's to perform at a higher level quicker. That's performance enhancing is it not?

    [censored] me...it's not rocket science.

  • Quote

    the intention was certainly to improve performance - irrespective of if it did or not, it is still a violation.

    also, It was not approved for human use. NOT FOR HUMAN USE!!

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
