    I wonder if WADA has the ability to over rule the AFL and ASADA should it deem any penalties insufficient ?

  • Quote

    I agree with you. My point, though, is that I'm not sure anyone knows whether the stuff the players took actually does anything at all.

    This would be unfortunate for Esssendon and I would lmao.

    Not sure about that. I have no doubt they intended to boost their player development but I'm not yet convinced that anything taken (legal or not) has actually been proven to improve performance or player development.

    Does the Wade Lees case set some sort of precedent?

    He bought stuff, didn't know it was banned, didn't get within a mile of it & got rubbed out.

    Did he play for a powerful AFL club?

    It can appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) All signatories to the WADA code recognise the jurisdiction of the CAS in Anti-doping rule violations.

    Appently you are allowed to take banned drug in certain AFL team and rven admit in doing so without a penalty.

    If that is not a green light to other players to take similar action I don't know what is.

    I guess most Clubs actually care for their players and reputation while other Clubs will do what ever it takes to WIN.

    Under those condition I not sure if the MFC can win its 13 Flag.

    Iterim report. How the afl can punish on this basis is beyond me.

    Players wont be charged till final report.

    this also occurred to me especially as the new poers are invoked

    Of course you can't punish but the AFL can state they will investigate the incident themselves or lay charges if appropriate as well as indicate what penalties may be imposed if the Club or persons assocated with the Club are found guilty.

    Never heard (read) anything better out of AA.

    He is right, if they don't charge them, especially Jobe who has admitted it on live tv then open the gates and allow all drug cos their policy would not even be worth wiping my ar$e with.

    Good to see we aren't the only ones curious as to the way its going. Even those in the biz seem confounded by the nature of its development .

    Hardly surprising that AA would publicly take this stance...

    WTF is the AFL commission doing in all of this? This is the biggest scandal to hit the sport in probably 150 years. The Commission are custodians of the game. We haven't heard a word from them. Its a far king disgrace

    What is Mike Fitzpatrick doing?? What is avid Essendon supporter Linda Dessau doing sitting up there in judgement on Essendon?? Bill Kelty is supposedly absenting himself from discussions about Essendon being an avid Essendon supporter himself but who knows what is going on.

    They are asleep at the wheel. At a time when the game needs a strong statement about where it sits on drugs in sport and cheating it is doing nothing but hiding behind an ASADA report and letting Dimwit make public utterances. He should have nothing to do with this, It should be the Commission itself. And if they aren't taking the lead on this then WTF are they doing?? What is their job/role?

    I can't believe no one in media land is screaming about this.

    If this was a company then the Chairman of the Board (ie: Fitzpatrick) would be front and centre in sorting out the mess. The AFL are a joke.

    Here the Essendon version

    Nobody can say we at the MFC don't encourage open discussion.

    I think Essendon will distance itself from this type of campaign in the future.

    Can anybody spot the edit/modification to the video?

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
