I'm glad we can all talk about this here in a civil manner.

I'm not here looking for sympathy.

Hird has to go.

Dank should be locked up.

and yet he remains ( JAH )

and seems more slippery than an eel does Dank.

You'll know this only too well Ash , your club's buggered until at least the former occurs.

Still having hung around us for so long you'll be used to the notion of pain !!

Great posts above!

Big sorries Ash, we are all "supporters" only the colours change!!

Oops! More bad news Ash, looks like the players are going with the 'Spike' McViegh defence!

I have a lot of sympathy for the supporters, a little sympathy for the players, particularly the young, naive ones. I have none whatsoever for Dank, Hird, Dr Reid and any board members who knew what was going on, who I believe deserve life bans.

I'd like to see the players receive 11 match(not weeks)bans- break the banned players into two groups- group one serves their suspension in the first half of the season and group two in the second half.

As for the club, I don't think they should or will toss them out of the league, but I do think a just penalty would be:

$10 million fine

Play the 2015 season for no points.

Be excluded from the first and second round of the draft for two seasons.

Can't be bothered reading back to see if this has been mentioned, or if it's been mentioned in the general media...

I heard it be said that Bomber Thompson resigned from the coaches association about 2 weeks ago and has no intention of rejoining, costs about $5,000p/a. So he may not coach again, as all coaches are apparently required to be members of the CA. From what I understand, this also distances him from the AFL and the requirement to pay the fine imposed upon him by the AFL. They can't force him to pay. Bomber has significant business interests outside football and has no need to coach for a living. He is pizzed off by the AFL fine and does not want to pay it on principle. He is also pizzed that Hird hasn't been removed and is washing his hands of it all. This makes it hard for the AFL force him to pay, as their 'rules' regularly do not stand up in court. Obviously ASADA rulings are a different matter, but the fine comes from the AFL.

Seems the day may have cometh.

According to some reports Show Cause Notices may be re-issued today.

stay tuned

this has some possible info

34 Dons to see evidence from ASADA

It appears I have woke to the smell of NEGLIGENCE claims in the air.

Oh this brings back memories of my university days when I studied a few law units.

Lets see 34 players x Loss or Earnings must equal a minimum 5 million dollar out of court settlement payment. Plus another 2 to 3 million dollar legal fees.

Dam I think the boys at Windy Pill could afford to pay such low amount, after all they could always sell their 40 million dollar of property assets.

Another story on how the AFL has picked on poor old MessyDrugs!

So the afl will decide if guilty and punishments.

I guess asada is already preparing to go to court to get their punishments increased

Possible changes to MessyDrugs Jumper

Eddie would never allow it, impersonating a Colonwood supporter is a crime in itself.

Yes, why is it that the Beagle Boys, Gyro Gearloose and (if memory serves), Uncle Scrooge never appeared in the Disney cartoons?

The head of the AFLPA has been reported in the age as saying the players are like workers who were exposed to asbestos by their employer.

If we're lucky EFC will leave the country just like James Hardie.

ASADA issues Essendon players with fresh show-cause notices

Boom.

You have Mail.....

http://asada.gov.au/media/organised_crime_and_drugs_in_sport.html

FRESH show cause notices have been issued against 34 former and current Essendon players.

The amended notices — complete with 60 pages of evidence tailored for each player surrounding the alleged use of the banned peptide Thymosin beta-4 — were issued by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority on Friday afternoon.

The evidence includes claims the peptide was sourced from a Shanghai factory and administed to Essendon players.

The 34 players have 10 days to respond before ASADA presents its evidence to the Anti-Doping Rule Violation Panel.
