Bombers scandal: charged, <redacted> and <infracted>

[Whispering_Jack 31,308]

The noose around the necks of NRL and AFL dope cheats is tightening:-

Hopes of escaping dope ban near zero

I suspect the final paragraph will make the Bombers feel uneasy given recent reports that the off-site clinic where their players were being injected last year was under surveillance.

Andruska revealed ASADA began gathering information 18 months ago, and shared it with the ACC a year ago.

The question I've asked before is "should the AFL suspend the club until the outcome of the investigation", it would make a mockery of the season if they are forced to pull out part way through.

If they are found guilty, strip their wins and have them play the season with no points gained.

If they are found guilty they won't have any players to play out the season or coaches to coach.

Goddard can captain coach himself.

And if they come out of the investigation "clean"... what then? I could not imagine that the club would sit back and take it on the chin... think litigation! No, this is, and rightfully should be, a case of innocent until proven otherwise.

Yep, good point and probably the right thing to do. Will be interesting to see how it pans out.

And strip away all ND picks, leaving them only to be involved in the Rookie draft. The latter stages at that.

If they're guilty of course. Here's hoping.

Very fair and reasonable of you Sloon!!!

Bombers are up [censored] creek from an off field point of view.

Expect a mass exodus.

Whatever happens on Saturday night they will be the big losers in 2013.

Watch this space.

[Whispering_Jack 31,308]

Is Caro writing on the subject again?

Nah they had a meeting after watching Jack VIney's debut and figured out there is no drug to match him. Essendon will forfeit tonight.

Whoa there geddy Lee What are you saying? Mass exodus of who? Players? Sponsors?

You cant drop that bombshell without giving us something??

What exactly?

[jnrmac 20,310]

Hey we might get our 4 points back later in the season.....

[Whispering_Jack 31,308]

Hey we might get our 4 points back later in the season.....

Why stop at 4 points?

There's percentage and if Angus Monfries, now of Port, crossed the road from Windy Hill to that "studio" where it was all happening while the federal crime authorities were carrying out their surveillance, we might get the 4 points back from the Port Adelaide game.

Is this just completely forgotten about is it? Our ridiculous tanking investigation lasted an eternity, dragging our name through the mud and causing all manner of instability within the club. i have no doubt it is one of the many factors that have conspired to put us in the hole we are currently in. Why is it that the AFL and the media had no problem raking us over the coals, but when a 'big' club faces a more serious issue it simply goes away?

[angrydee 842]

Welcome to the real world. Evans and Gil go to the logies together.

[ThreeOneSix 954]

Essendon won' get off easy.

If no stories are written, it's because Essendon could sue, it's a delicate issue - and one the AFL aren't in charge of.

I am surprised we are not being raked over the hot coals ourselves.

We are the ones getting off easy at the moment, no Essendon.

F******g amazing.

[Gippsland Dee 367]

Demetriou was in the 7 news sport tonight, said in the next couple of weeks it is about to get very ugly for Essendon!

[Gorgoroth 13,189]

Were they his exact words?
