Paul can only be-little :rolleyes:

 

Just your usual run of the mill Essendon arrogance methinks Jack.

I don't often agree with J Kennett, but at least he sees what a %^#% Little is. I wonder how widespread that view is amongst the boards/ presidents of other clubs.
 

I 100% agree wj and posted similar sentiments. Also it is staggering how much press he has done in the last week. Surely for the efc the best thing is to be quite. The court of public opinion is not going to influence Middleton and the more he talks the worse they look

be pretty unanimous Id reckon


We've just gone through a three day circus spectacle in the Federal Court in which Little's club alleged that ASADA had acted beyond its powers and now Little's telling ASADA to divulge its evidence when it's clearly under no obligation under its charter to do so.

The cheek of the man!

I imagine Little and Essendon have far more real tangible evidence that even ASADA have to what was given to the players. Of course if the welfare of the players is their number one priority, then no doubt the players have been told what was given to them and BTW. Pigs fly.

He is an absolute A grade half back flanker.......

Lucky Roos employs the no DH policy or we might draft him...

Hands up those who have had enough of Paul Little.

I'm sick of this self absorbed bully who pushes everyone around as he sees fit.

Essendon would do much better to get rid of this litigious floggg

And for a 'relatively' no name businessman he is loving his time in the sunshine....loving the media attention..
 

They absolutely do have an interest to protect the state of the game right up until the time they are about to get whacked with a very big stick - then self interest kicks in.

I massively disagree. If they dod have an interest in the broader game they would have taken their penalty at the start and moved on.

Its way too late now to say they have the games interest at heart. FMD they are trying to single handedly destroy it.

AFL club targeted for banned drugs before Essendon

An AFL club other than Essendon had blood samples taken from its players and analysed overseas in 2011 to test for banned substances.

Nothing came of it then although with improved methods of analysis these days we might be in a position to one day discover what happened when the samples from players of one of the 2010 grand final teams looked way out of synch with the norm.

After this post I'm no closer to knowing which team it could be.

definitely Collingwood

After this post I'm no closer to knowing which team it could be.

Would it help if in the article it mentioned that the samples were taken while players were overseas? Out of interest who were doing overseas preseason training and complaining about targeting testing while in Arizona? 2010 grand finalists with black and white stripes methinks.....

Eddie despite his big mouth on everything football related has been dodging and ducking the doping scandal for years and perhaps with good reason. I hope he suffers from reoccurring nightmares.

Danks was at a couple of other clubs previously so they may have been looking at one of those.


Thought I'd sidetrack a little.......

Robin Williams on marijuana's performance-enhancing qualities:

"The only way it's a performance-enhancing drug is if there's a big f------ Hershey bar at the end of the run."

"I think it is just terrible and disgusting how everyone has treated Lance Armstrong, especially after what he achieved, winning seven Tour de France races while on drugs. When I was on drugs, I couldn't even find my bike."

- Willie Nelson

I don't think Willie ever had a bike either :)

maybe he was confused with the town bike?


Meanwhile David Grace QC who is representing 34 AFL players served with those currently idle show cause notices says what?

Zero Tolerance.

''But nowadays ... there is no excuse for any athlete to take a substance without being 100 per cent sure that that substance is approved and is not contrary to any anti-doping policy.''

Essendon player representative has zero tolerance for athletes who do the wrong thing

I think he must have two hats that he wears at the same time.

I read that also and wondered. Bizarre really Left hand says...right hand does !!!

Let's hope there are a series of appeals that run and run and run followed by a protracted legal claim from the Weapon.

The cynic in me says that a mouth for hire will say whatever is needed to get the next job...

The cheats look like they are going to make the finals.

Unbelievable that this is allowed to occur...

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
