Dank is now going on the pub circuit with his next appearance due in Ballarat - Dank set to speak, but not to ASADA

Of course, he would put everyone out of their misery if he went public with information about what he gave the Essendon players during the supplements programme or gave it to the Bombers (who own the information) so that they can pass it on to ASADA.

I suppose he needs the pocket money he'll be getting for appearance.

 

The anti doping rule violation panel now has 6 members - Stephen Dank case may now be considered

Bring it on.

is it at all possible, that Dank Knows this circus is going round & around, but getting knowwhere. he's not even starting to sweat yet. & the asada dragon has been dissected & drawn, out in the Sun.

Wow. Just an observation, but there have been literally 1500 posts on this topic since I last visited and, from what I can tell, almost nothing has changed... Not being critical of anyone on here, just observing how this seems to be just going in circles...

Probably due to the fact that the investigation is subject to bureaucratic processes and the understaffed investigative authority is receiving no co-operation from a number of parties that are possibly wary of self-incrimination. It took a long time to get Lance Armstrong and he also had his cycling federation, a team of lawyers and media groupies looking after him.

Easter and bureaucratic (bungling?) matters A Federal Government decision is likely to delay the ASADA doping investigation have seen this thread relegated to page 4 of the board but the story isn't going away - Panel ruling imminent on Stephen Dank

If, as anticipated, things don't work out well for him, Dank is going to try to delay the inevitable through proceedings in the Federal Court (expensive but it's his right to do so). The delays won't be welcome by the Essendon players implicated because, apart from having to work their way through the strains of the uncertainty surrounding this saga, there's a possibility that this will drag on into a period when the maximum penalty for anti doping violations becomes four years and not two as is the case now. Two years is tough but four would be career ending (although it's not clear whether the four year maximum would apply for offences that took place in 2012).
 

And still they represent the diggers on ANZAC DAY.

Shameful. I will not be watching.


i wish them 8 years of what we just had

You cruel bastard.

Essendon chairman Paul Little says self-reporting to ASADA may have been a mistake

I think whilst self-reporting allowed the various authorities that needed to get involved, it gave them an unfettered access to the football club, to individuals and to everything else ~ Paul Little

Not quite "unfettered" Mr. Little. They weren't given access to the records of what your club injected into your players.

Perhaps if that would have been done we might have been a lot closer to the final resolution of this farcical situation.

nor to the alledged asada "aod approval" letter

Might have been better all around hadnt someone tipped them off and ASADA had hit them cold and unawares.

Little simply doesnt understand truth

Oh he understands the truth, he is merely trying to distract the public away from it.

We all know records were kept...Dank told us he has copies.

Pep Juice seems to be wearing off at the 'G...(just checked a score)

yeah...it sure looks like they only took the short acting stuff today :-))

They played really well despite the pep juice but the wheels are slowly falling off. I wonder if they'll stick together if and when infraction notices are issued?


If/when they get infraction notices all hell will break loose

And I will probably crack a beer, sit back and enjoy it

You will not be Robinson Crusoe biggestred

40,000 injections over 3 months.

If they get nothing its a disgrace

it will be interesting to hear if McLachlan talks about "the integrity if the game" as much as Dimitriou did, especially at the start of his regime.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
