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

[Bluey's Dad 3,419]

Can ASADA now proceed with the show cause notices? Even if Ess appeal? Any legal eagles here clarify what happens next?

So the show cause notices stand. The next step would be for ASADA to re-impose its deadline for player responses to those show cause notices"

Does this mean the Preliminary Final is now on hold to allow West Coast to appeal against Essendon having played North Melbourne in the elimination final?

[sue 9,102]

What a pleasure to hear a well-reasoned analysis, coloured neither by the Essendon apologist cheer-squad of journos, nor for that matter by those of us who have a range of reasons for wishing Essendon sunk.

Clear as day. And to top it off, even if he had found it was improper, he wouldn't tell ASADA to wipe its memory.

Yes

Middleton: No useful purpose would be served by setting aside the notices.

How are those apologists going to try and spin this is going to be amazing to see!!!

[mauriesy 7,287]

Essendon are stuffed. They surely wouldn't waste money on an appeal, but they might be pig-headed enough to do so.

Hopefully now we can get down to what they all took, which is the real issue.

Conspiracy accusations I assume?

Man I hope the new ASADA deadline for the players' responses to notices is soon.

[sue 9,102]

One thing he didn't directly address is what if Essendon players & Hird had refused to answer question until ASADA officials left the room.

However he did indirectly by saying that if the AFL had alone done an investigation it would have been proper for the AFL to give ASADA the details.

Does anyone know why Stephen Dank turned up at the Federal Court today? What purpose did it serve?

[Ted Lasso 19,513]

Does the ninth placed team appeal having missed the finals because of the afl allowing the bombers to play with this over their heads?

[beelzebub 23,364]

Worth the wait.

Squirm you basstards

Wouldn't matter anyway. The drugs section of their forum is private.

What's the bet on Slobbo calling in sick to 360 all week next week?

[sue 9,102]

It was also interesting how the judge went into details about the way Hird et al impugned the ex-head of ASADA's evidence and at least by implication, her character. He said she took her time to answer questions because she was being careful to tell the truth.

You keep missing my point bb

I have only ever said the players will get off with a low penalty.

Never said I did not want to see them ( EFC and Hird ) get smashed.

I have never said they did not do the wrong thing.

Like you I am enjoying this and the near future.

Given international events today, it's somewhat ironic that the Essendon Football Club was founded by a Scot, Robert McCracken.
