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

Recommended Posts

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.

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).

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.

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.

Bureaucratic issues aside, there's a chance that we'll know whether there are going to be infraction notices served on somebody - Dank, Bomber players, officials ... by the end of the month ... hopefully ...

Secret ASADA report from Garry Downes completed, expected to have reviewed all cases relating to Essendon supplement use

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.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    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.
