Yes.

Yes.

Well that explains everything then.

Can not take anything he writes on the matter seriously no matter how objective he may say he is.

Same with Rohan Conolly.

Yep agree.

I really don't know why they even write on the matter as their views are obviously bias.

The Riddells Creek Football Club is resisting pressure from the AFL to stop Stephen Dank speaking at its launch later this month. The AFL also threatened to fine the club if it allowed Dank to speak but president Jason Allen is standing firm.

I have considered your recommendation that we reconsider our decision to have Stephen Dank appear as a guest speaker for this function. Likewise I have taken into account your concerns that he is still under investigation by ASADA and as a result you feel any comments he may make may bring the game into disrepute, and as a result our Club (RFNC) maybe be penalised under section 7.1.1 DISCIPLINE, SUSPENSION AND EXPULSION OF MEMBERS of the RDFNL Constitution.

Unfortunately, and with all due respect at this stage, I do not share your concerns and in fact to the contrary, I believe that your attempt and any similar attempts by the AFL to silence or suppress anyone that speaks against them in defence of themselves, to be a restriction to the virtue of freedom of speech and the notion that you are innocent until proved guilty which is awarded to all Australians.

The RFNC does not represent Stephen Dank nor his views on what he may or may not say or write, however, we do respect his right to express his side of this story as a free and independent Australian. If you believe that you have the authority to silence Mr Dank, then you need to exercise this right against Mr Dank.

Furthermore, as you are aware I did offer the AFL the opportunity to make an appearance on the day in lieu of Mr Dank, which I considered to be a reasonable alternate solution to this situation and considered this to be a more than generous offer on my behalf. Had this been accepted or acted upon at the time, it would have eliminated us having to have this discussion at this late stage. This offer was rejected by the AFL at their own discretion and free will. I have subsequently sold a number of tickets to this event having advertised Stephen Dank as being a part of the day.

In summary, I thank you for expressing your concerns, however, unless the RDFNL or the AFL can provide sound quantifiable legal cause to the contrary, I will continue to allow Stephen Dank to speak at this function and will not hesitate to legally escalate this issue should I feel either myself or any of the officers of the RFNC are being unduly treated, impeded, threatened, intimidated or penalised for doing so.

Stephen Dank finds new path in sport

Stephen Dank finds new path in sport

I went to the movies last night and saw "Dallas Buyers Club" starring Matthew McConaughey as AIDS patient Ron Woodroof, who smuggles unapproved pharmaceutical drugs into Texas to improve his symptoms and then establishes a buyers club for other AIDS sufferers.

At a Mexican hospital, he is prescribed the protein peptide T which improves his health and allows him to live seven years longer than the one month his doctor originally gives him.

McConaughey provides a truly great acting performance in the film but the peptide references had me thinking that Dank is his equal in the art.

Richard ings (former head of asada) on twitter this morning seems to think that all of this info coming out today is just from the uncensored version of the interim report. Which seems highly likely.

ASADA he said would have a list of who received that report. Shouldn't be too hard to find out who leaked it ...

Would not surprise me if it was essendon in an attempt to discredit ASADA as a continuing effort to paint them as incompetent

The AFL and Essendon both received the report. Neither appear to have taken steps to seek an injunction to protect the players' confidentiality.

Interesting.

Nothing's going to happen Christ it helps your cause when the head honcho at HS followers the club he's reporting on that bald headed yellow teeth cretin destroyed us over the Tanking, it's or circumstantial the bombers have to many people in high places.

Asada recently announced after an independent audit that they are sure no one in the organisation was leaking information during this saga.

Far fetched theory I have but why not?

Has asada anticipated that essendon may try to discredit them once again and have the police involved to catch them out in the process? wire taps etc. proving that they are trying to derail the investigation by leaking information, dirty pool - end game in mind.

Wouldn't surprise me with Little at the helm.

Need more than a list to work it out. I doubt the journo will squawk.

Fanciful thinking. Essendon have enough trouble painting themselves as anything but incompetent....and dishonest. I don't think Little is that stupid to play a PR underscore on ASADA.

He appears to be distancing the Club from the players in his reference to the players as "they". I would have thought he should has spoken from the Clubs or "we". The players may be potentially in the dock but the Club is on trial.

Your ambulance chaser rant was better.

most excellent news

Boom

Essendon in crisis as players set to be named in banned drugs inquiry

What the? CW saying she won't name the players as she has a value base, yet the Herald Sun will, equals she has no idea!! This reads she got a lead saying the a Herald Sun have more information and she is jumping in first.

What a [censored] and some respect her crap!

I'm glad the name and shame game is beginning. Essendon have a lot to answer for and deserve to be run through the mud.

maybe releasing the names [hs] brings the asada case into dispute[leaks.

smart thinking by bombers and robbo if so.

but the story is nothing,it just says these players told asada they thought they were given these drugs.so what.

it just means the other players on the list DIDNT tell asada they thought they were given anything illegal.

so far this story means NOTHING.

I too find an aspect to the article rather misleading in so much as it only referred to a dozen or so. Surely nearly the whole list bar a few were actually a affected by the mengel-like regime's experimental practices.

Id be thinking more than 12 ought to be worried.

Couldnt agree more , there's going to be a lot of disappointed ghouls in this thread.

You couldn't buy my happiness old timer...

If the ASADA review by the ex Fed Court judge results in there being not enough evidence for infraction notices then:

1. the Hun should be boiled in oil for the release the names of the players.

2. And ASADA will rightly be scrutinised on not using every avenue to seek a conviction by utiliising its powers to interview Dank.

There is a fair argument that they may have enough evidence not to interview Dank or that they can rely on the ACC interviews of Dank.

However if the initial list of possible notice recipients is based on their own assessment of what they took then I hope the other evidence is far far better. Players beliefs on what they took are circumstantial to this and how would they possibly know for sure what they took?

The process may be thorough but the evidence could be weak.

we all have done it [slung mud]but generally not on this page.
