Thanks LH

You don't mention the player charges is anything happening re ASADA issuing notices?

In summary ASADA issued SCN, players decided not to contest and trying to rush it thru to AFL Tribunal hearing where they think they can plead and win their case. ASADA told their lawyers to back off and the process will take the time it needs to take altho some journos are saying the hearing will be heard in Dec. If players lose they think they will be able to serve penance in off-season/early games.

Also, Workcover is about to start investigating EFC. 'Dees2014' thinks their will be some real nasties here for EFC Board...they may even need to borrow some of those Port 'jailbird' jumpers!! :lol:

Last but by no means least Bomber has lost the plot, left the coaches association, refused to pay his AFL fine and virtually disqualified himself from coaching in the AFL again. EFC having gone very cold on him. He may need to retire to a hermits life with all his millions. But I actually like Bomber and he has been the only semi-good guy in this sorry saga...

 

There is no end in sight.

Hird can still appeal a loss at the full bench which will take at a minimum 6 months. If he wins well all bets are off.

Workcover will likely get involved and if the Bombers decide to fight any sanctions then they could be in court for years.

If Hird gets the boot he can take further legal action against the club.

If the players get rubbed out for 6 - 24 months they can also take legal action to appeal the decision and or take action against the club.

Years of fun for all in offing
 

Good news Jobe! We've got you a start in the Oakes!.

Go Injecty Go?


Selfie?

Found this video when I could not sleep last night.

Although it focuses on steroids it does explain what the holy grail is in substance taking is all about.

Oh to answer your question No. But the picture is very off putting.

This only gets funnier

Is that "stand by, Hird, the train is coming"?

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the Full Bench? Is that the same as the Supreme Court? Is the next step after that an appeal to the High Court?

As the name suggests, the Federal Court is a court of federal or national jurisdiction. It is separate from the Supreme Court (of Victoria) which is a state court.

The Full Bench means a court constituted of usually three or more judges. This appeal is against a judgment made by a single judge sitting alone in the Federal Court (in this case Middleton J) and is being heard by a panel of three Federal Court judges (the word "full" does not refer to their state of sobriety :lol:)

If one of the parties is aggrieved by the decision in this appeal, they might get leave to appeal to the High Court.

I don't think that will happen based on my reading of the arguments but some funny things do happen from time to time in our legal system.

Thanks WJ for that explanation. As I understand it, the verdict on Monday's hearing is likely to be given some time in December.

I have some understanding of where ASADA will head if they lose from reading an article in today's Age.

I take it that, if Hird loses, it will likely be the last we hear from him, at least until the law suits are filed!

Thanks for that WJ.

In your opinion, does hird have a leg to stand on?

Also id bet that if hird loses itll end up in the high court, and it wont be about the vibe or mabo.

In this case its three judges on the bench plus the sub.

Based on the submissions filed in the Federal Court I think he's legless.

I wouldn't be booking any flights to Canberra for any High Court hearings next year in the hope of catching any cases involving high profile AFL coaches challenging ASADA either.

So is that a full HIrd appealing to a full bench? :)

It is a group of judges after a long lunch


What a champion Hird is

he is so brave

he is shocked to be sitting here

when the truth comes out he will be in a good place

Natalie Hickey's analysis of the cases put by Hird and ASADA in the Federal Court appeal ~ As James Hird v ASADA Appeal looms, parties’ hands are disclosed.

Whatever it takes....?

The Appellant concludes its response by suggesting that ASADA’s argument that unlawfully obtained evidence should nonetheless be admissible, is essentially that “the end justifies the means” and that this cannot be right.

I get it :

Irony !!!

Good pickup

P.S.

The Social Litigator piece seems to only present each party's case but this time there is no evaluation of the merits; that would be interesting

He has been deluded since day 1

Carl Williams thought that Barwon Prison was "a good place"......for a while.

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
