I agree WYL, there was/is a sense of realness listening to Dean speak, as with Ling'y and Darcy. McVeigh reeks of coaching.

I want to hear more about the pigs brain to increase infield awareness.

    Exactly, was he timing it to be back before ASADA'S report in made available? This interview only surfaced in the last couple of days.

    yes. Ch7 are right in the middle. Should we Shouldn't we...They paid big $$$

    Mcveigh is hardly independent

    Spot on I turned it off could no longer stomach the Ch 7 lot.

    A couple were almost weeping for poor James

    Their empire is near collapse and they know it.

    As for Mcveigh I remember him in the first week of this saying they only ever had Vitamin injections.

    Ha Ha

    I didn't watch the entire programme but didn't it seem that there was an attempt to sweep AOD-9604 under the carpet?

    WADA has banned AOD-9604 under its S0 category, which covers substances not approved for human use.

    Didn't Jobe Watson admit to having been injected by AOD-9604 and hasn't Essendon been suggesting that ASADA told the club it was OK to use it? That and the possible injection of other banned substances seems to be the crux of the matter to me.

    I understand that this was about the Weapon's personal story about the toll his standing down from the club was having on him and his family but I would have thought that the use of AOD-9604 merited a lot more coverage than it got in the programme.

    Dons told drug was not legal

    If the Weapon is trying to tell us all he had very little knowledge of the supplement program and thought it was all above board and didn't tough the stuff besides a bit of Melatonin2 or whatever it's called to make him tanned and lean then surely he doesn't know anything about AOD right? That's the line I'd be spinning if I was him. I know nothing!

    The weapon was tipping as much dirt as he could without incriminating himself. Some prior arrangement was likely made to ensure that AOD-9604 was side stepped in the interview.

    Yes, I remember. ridiculing, who was it? Reimas? In that interview he did right at the beginning, according to mcveigh, sneering at the delisted player, they only ever had vitamins, and everyone knew that. Liar or uninformed. He is an unreliable witness.

    As for Darcy saying that he believes in second chances, take that to its logical conclusion,let essendon off with a slap on the wrist, cos they didn't mean to cheat! The discussion was frustrating in the extreme, soft, predictable and totally unenlightening!

    McVeigh is just there to give the Essendon POV. A foot soldier for their spin and propaganda.

    And also derided/lambasted Reimers in this first week for talking rubbish over the supplements program during his whistle blowing interview.

    In addition, when asked tonight whether there were any players other than Zaharakis who refused the program McVeigh intially said something along the lines of "there were others", then when prompted again said "the OTHER player", then contradicted himself yet again a little while afterwards saying "the others who refused".

    The question also needs to be asked, why is McVeigh's view given more weight than the guy who started the ball rolling in the first place, Kyle Reimers? McVeigh's reaction/info in that first week towards Reimers and his interview has since been proven to be so off the money yet Chanel 7 uses McVeigh as their main "go to" guy for all things Essendon. Seems a little strange IMO. Why not bring in Reimers for his opinion as well???

    This might be a critical point. If (and it's a big if) the players were told that they were only being given vitamins (1) McVeigh would be correct in saying he believed they only ever had vitamins and (2) medical fraud would have been committed if they'd been injected with something else without their knowledge or consent.

    It's not strange. He's on Channel 7's payroll. Similarly, Channel 9 goes to Matthew Lloyd for the same reason.

    i can't see medical fraud if players signed a waiver saying they could be injected with aod

    I agree - but what if they were told, and the waiver said, they were only going to be injected with vitamins? (I did say it was a big if.)

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
