Sorry to bring in reality but wasn't Danks alighned to 9 and 14 also ?

Was the sudden departure of 2 longstanding medicos not just a little bit suss?

I admit I don't know a lot about the Saad case, but was the evidence against him stronger than against the Bummers? If not, it doesn't bode well for them.

From what I've read from the papers it was pretty clear cut.

He took a non-match day only supplement, by a supplement company he is sponsored by, on a match day.

18 month suspension, back dated so 16 months from now for a single event involving one person and an energy drink. Imagine the penalties for a systematic, structured drug program involving tens of thousands of dollars, an entire team and multiple banned, performance enhancing drugs.

Thanks for that PJ... with Danks more than likely to be dragged before ASADA in the next couple of months (according to the Hun late last week), things should start to get very interesting.

Not quite reality but a couple of our players are likely to come under scrutiny because of an alleged connection between Dank and one of our club doctors (Bate) who held the position for a brief time. From reports I've read the doctor prescribed a cream that is freely available from chemists on the recommendation of Dank. We don't know if the player ever used the cream but there is a chance that he might be in some strife if a case is made out against him. We simply don't know enough about the facts at this stage.

As far as I'm aware Dank and supplements had nothing to do with the departure of Andrew Daff and another long standing doctor or that any other MFC officials or staff other than Dr. Bate was involved.

Nevertheless, if we're found to have breached rules, either on a governance level or through use of banned substances, we'll have to cop our whack and let's hope we don't behave as disfracefully as <redacted>, <redacted> and <redacted>.

Those who by nature fly too high , too close to the sun are bound to be burnt and fall hard.

Classical allusions on Demonland, BB? Wonders will never cease! :-)

Did anyone else see that essendon could be in hot water again due to them allowing potential draftees train with them before the draft without registering them?

yep, saw that, gave me a chuckle.

They really think they are special, above all things. Time for a heavy landing I reckon !!

Once again they either thought they were above the rules or there was a major oversight. Im thinking the latter as they did lodge paperwork the day before the draft but who knows how long they had, IF, they had been training with them.

You guys are just too hard on MessyDrugs.

I think this was a smart move by them as next season I think they will have a number of players who will be unable to play for awhile.

Better to have a backup plan now. then wait for the final report and have no idea how to fill the vacabcies in their player list.

Dam it convinces me, fine the sds $500,000 for annoying Vlad again.

One day they will make a movie about this club. I think the title of the movie should be Dumb and Dumber. Wait I think they had already made the movie.

there was a movie poster produced by the Herald Sun earlier this year about the saga. i tend to bring it out when a essendon supporter annoys me. Not sure if i can put it up here tho with all the copyright on pictures etc

As Nike always say "Just Do It"

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
