A lot of similarities between the Apollo Bay Hawks and the MFC jazza. Winless in 2011 but now building a stronger team. Go Bayers!

Any chance an EFC supporter?

Pity they lost the documents.

Are those cheating, drug addled pricks still in the league? Massive surprise.

[John Crow Batty 8,890]

So why did Robson, Corcoran, the Doc, Dank and Weapon go? And Hird suspended. Obviously victims of a great miscarriage of justice.

It's a joke. Surely the icing on the cake would be Turd as CEO. Make it happen Bombers.

He's just searching for attention. Making big statements with little common sense. He's a law lecturer who has interests in indigenous law and drugs in cycling.

He's a law lecturer who has interests in indigenous law and drugs in cycling.

When I read that he lectures in law it piqued my interest so I checked his bio:-

Martin Hardie has managed bands and worked in Aboriginal Art and Craft centres. He has been a solicitor and a barrister, acting in matters concerning administrative law and constitutional law and particularly, as counsel for Australian Indigenous artists in their quest for copyright protection; the challenge by Jose Ramos Horta to the Australian Timor Gap legislation and in a case concerning the NT legislation legalising euthanasia. He has also been an advisor to various members of the former East Timorese resistance and government, a university lecturer, a cyclist, cycling journalist and team manager.

His time is spent with the ambition of becoming the archetype of life within communism; at the break of dawn a seakayaker during the day a teacher and a cook, cyber-conspiracist and correspondent, in the afternoons, a student and philosopher and, at nights, simply pleasant company.

I'm speechless.

Quotes Chaucer at dinner parties. Chicks dig him.

He used the word 'Modernity' in a paper, I loathe the term.

From wj's bio on him the guy seems 'a tad unbalanced'. Didn't mention any footy allegiances, but not hard to guess. "Well documented and controlled" yet nobody can find these fabulous documents. Maybe if I ever were to unexpectedly ( and may I add uncharacteristically) commit a mass murder I should look him up to plead my total innocence.

is "awaked" even a word?

is "awaked" even a word?

It used to be, until about 400 years ago. Nobody much has used it since then. And Chaucer didn't.

[Dr John Dee 1,057]

I'm more intrigued by Hardie's "ambition of becoming the archetype of life within communism." Can you register a Trabant in Victoria?

[Redleg 42,110]

So why did Robson, Corcoran, the Doc, Dank and Weapon go? And Hird suspended. Obviously victims of a great miscarriage of justice.

Apparently so.

The Doc is back, which I think is just another disgrace, in this whole disgraceful episode.

As I said... He's an attention seeking w**ker. Should work for the AFL.

This Hardie character purports to be a champion of sportspeople oppressed by tough anti-doping policies and, while he might have a point about the frustrations suffered by some at their treatment, he overlooks the fact that it's a necessary evil in seeking to ensure that clean athletes who want to get to the top of their sports through talent and hard work aren't trumped by the chemists.

I regard it in a similar light to the inconvenience caused by x rays and having to go through metal detectors at airports. I don't like some of the unfriendly, gruff security people but, in the end, I'm happy to put up with it if it makes my flight safer.

The statement attributed to Hardie about Essendon's "well documented and controlled" programme is risible. If the author of this article wasn't engaging in a tasteless student prank, then it doesn't speak kindly about the academic standards of this institution.

Meanwhile, in the real world, the chasm between Fairfax and the Murdoch press is demonstrated by how their journalists are interpreting the appointment of Judge Downes - ASADA investigation: Former Federal judge Garry Downes steps in to help speed things up

Federal Sports Minister Peter Dutton said the appointment of Downes provided additional resources to ASADA and his role was to help decide if charges could be laid.

''ASADA's investigative process has been ongoing for nearly a year and is of unprecedented complexity,'' Dutton said. ''In light of this, it is appropriate that a suitably qualified person be engaged to assist ASADA as the investigations approach conclusion.''

The Minister says the Judge has been appointed to "assist ASADA" but the Murdoch press suggests that he's somehow investigating it.

You be the judge.
