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

Recommended Posts

seriously,

""ASADA's investigative process has been ongoing for nearly a year and is of unprecedented complexity," Dutton said yesterday.

"In light of this, it is appropriate that a suitably qualified person be engaged to assist ASADA as the investigations approach conclusion"

does not in any way equal

A RETIRED Federal Court judge has been called in to investigate ASADA's glacial probe into drugs in sport - a year since it was dubbed "the darkest day".

Justice Garry Downes will conduct a thorough review of the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority's probe

having said that, i do like the usage of the word glacial. glaciers might go slowly but they stop for no one and totally change the landscape!

Thought it was an interesting spin. Be interesting to see how they interpret the infraction notices when they come.

Its a shallow view. If a player (Club employee) no matter their ability has been compromised by the unprofessional conduct of one or more senior persons at a Club its a pathetic outcome that in no way should be condoned or dismissed easily.

In particular to a player like Trengove who has already been treated poorly by the Club with the ill conceived captaincy position. Havent we mishandled his development enough?

Agree they are employees of the club and I'd think at some point Worksafe (in the next 10 years... ) would have to have a look at the club if any of our players were issued notices and suspended. Then lawyers for those players would become involved and it could again set us back years.

It's going to be a while till any infraction notices are given and then the [censored] storm will begin!

IMO there will definately be infraction notices that will be served on the club officals under rule 6 (I think) of the ASADA rules. This includes Dank, Robinson, Hird, etc etc. While is think infrcations to players is probable I am not so confident there

Putting aside ODs usual negativity, we don't know whether infraction notices (if any) will be issued.

While we all agree that ASADA code breachers should be brought to justice we just don't know the strength of the ASADA evidence and it's application to clubs and individuals.

While the appointment of the ex-judge on the surface is a good thing it might just spin to prop up a process (given its a year since this started and they had to be seen to doing something visible) or it might be a necessary requirement to road test and validate the basis of future infraction notices and mitigate contingent litigation against their enforceability.

There is a general expectation that infraction notices will be/ should be issued at the end of this investigation. The actual outcomes will surely be different to the public expectations.

ASADA are on a hiding to nothing on this whatever the outcome through litigation avenues if notices are issued and court of public opinion if either insufficient or no infraction notices are issued.

Fascinating to watch this unfold (particularly when there is no footy on).

LOL, Rhino......you must like watching paint dry too

Yeah watching paint dry is boring. But this can be like waiting for a fine wine to mature before drinking it. Then again there is the chance the wine may be off.

I would hate to sit around for 5 - 10 years watching the wine mature either adc.

I need a little more instant appeal than either.

As another sidebar, (this time speculation, so Rhino take a Mogadon) what do you reckon AD will resign within 3 months of any infraction notices issued and before the whole mess ends up in court, or do you think he will brave the fires of cross examination? My two cents is that it won't just be EFC and ASADA getting a toasting and the AFL board will have to push accept the fat controllers resignation.

Good things come to he who waits OD.

I would have thought you understood that as a MFC supporter.

As we are experts at waiting!

Big article on the back page of todays HUN.

Federal Government has a retired Judge investigating why it is all taking so long

Also commented "why has Dank not been interviewed"

It makes a claim that one reason maybe the problem of if AOD.... was legal or not at the time.

I have smelt this coming for sometime!

i would suggest a retired fed judge could offer no help in this case

asada,have run races before and this should be no different.

besides the dons legal team has about 18 miles head start,so appointment of an ex judge wont help

all it does is give an air of political respect to the process and make people think the outcome is more profound

I just like to see the Bombers issue mature a little longer. Like to see them finish below us this season. Let their pain drag on.

    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.

    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

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.

    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.
