I doubt it.

Yes so do I Robbie I know the AFL law is different to others where Precedence means something

technically there have been no (AFL) legal precedents because others have not been charged with similar offences to create any legal precedents

what i think you are referring to is previous accepted practices and that is a different thing

but your point is made nevertheless PSD

Any idea how long this "investigation" is going to last?

....until they find at least one scapegoat? ........probably just as the election date is drawing close

Was only half paying attention, but I am pretty sure 'Robbo' on AFL360 last night said something about expecting to hear an announcement around mid-season (he mentioned a round, but as I said, I wasn't paying close attention). I'm also pretty sure he mentioned what he thought might be the penalties they could expect.

There's an investigation going on, why would you expect to hear anything before it has finished?

On Offsiders a few weeks ago, Gerard Whateley made the comment that those who have seen the full initial document say that it is as bad as first reported.

I'll back Gerard.

I have zero trust in politicians and media people

I will believe when I see it.


Not a word will be said until the investigation is over.

This is above the AFL's head.

It is not the AFL I am concerned about in this one wyl.

It is the chief managers of spin in Canberra that concern me.

A good source at Ess says there will be nothing for months while the investigation is conducted.

FFS they took 8 months to investigate something that has never happened!!!!

Spot on Jnr.

So I will keep breathing

Let Essendon sweat. There were internal problems whether the board knew it or not.

There will be sacrifices....somebody cheated.


Cronulla look to be in big trouble and guess who their doctor was? Yep mr dank. Up to 14 players could be stood down. Apologies for no link. The wheels are turning.

Yeah, Essendon will be next cab off the ranks one would think.

The danger for Essendon is that, based on a recent AFL precedent,they might just get pinched for once being the employer of Stephen Dank.

ASADA probes Cronulla Sharks over Stephen Dank link.

Dank was at Cronulla in 2011 and a year later was at Essendon.

The Bombers are going to need some help to avoid the spectre of guilt by association.

Hopefully no one at Essendon ever looked 'ashed faced' cause thats apparently a sign of great misconduct!

Apparently, when the needles went into the players' stomachs a few of them were grim faced.


Missed it by 8 hours should have kept my mouth shut for another day.

Still no charges yet

Yes I know I am clinging to the life raft.

Hopefully no one at Essendon ever looked 'ashed faced' cause thats apparently a sign of great misconduct!

May have to revise thinking as Ted Baillieu "emerged' "ashen faced" "on Wednesday night" from"yet another special liberal party room meeting"

Luckily not in the Vault and to date no claims from other teams players that Victoria was tanking.

Caroline Wilson unlikely to be involved as matter requires some knowledge of reporting practices.

Just saw add on SBS TV - 'drugs in sport' topic on Insight next Tuesday. Clint Bartram is on the panel.

 

Cronulla stood down coach , sacked footy manager, dr, physio, conditioner,. Danks was there only a short time .

Will Bomber be the sacrifical lamb for Hird. Dr reid may go and others.

They stood down the coach while the investigation is going on citing management issues, he didn't know what was going on. Sound familiar?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
