The noose around the necks of NRL and AFL dope cheats is tightening:-

Hopes of escaping dope ban near zero

I suspect the final paragraph will make the Bombers feel uneasy given recent reports that the off-site clinic where their players were being injected last year was under surveillance.

Andruska revealed ASADA began gathering information 18 months ago, and shared it with the ACC a year ago.

The question I've asked before is "should the AFL suspend the club until the outcome of the investigation", it would make a mockery of the season if they are forced to pull out part way through.

If they are found guilty, strip their wins and have them play the season with no points gained.

If they are found guilty they won't have any players to play out the season or coaches to coach.

Goddard can captain coach himself.

And if they come out of the investigation "clean"... what then? I could not imagine that the club would sit back and take it on the chin... think litigation! No, this is, and rightfully should be, a case of innocent until proven otherwise.

Yep, good point and probably the right thing to do. Will be interesting to see how it pans out.

And strip away all ND picks, leaving them only to be involved in the Rookie draft. The latter stages at that.

If they're guilty of course. Here's hoping.

Bombers are up [censored] creek from an off field point of view.

Expect a mass exodus.

Whatever happens on Saturday night they will be the big losers in 2013.

Watch this space.


Is Caro writing on the subject again?

Nah they had a meeting after watching Jack VIney's debut and figured out there is no drug to match him. Essendon will forfeit tonight.

Whoa there geddy Lee What are you saying? Mass exodus of who? Players? Sponsors?

You cant drop that bombshell without giving us something??

What exactly?

Hey we might get our 4 points back later in the season.....

Why stop at 4 points?

There's percentage and if Angus Monfries, now of Port, crossed the road from Windy Hill to that "studio" where it was all happening while the federal crime authorities were carrying out their surveillance, we might get the 4 points back from the Port Adelaide game.


Is this just completely forgotten about is it? Our ridiculous tanking investigation lasted an eternity, dragging our name through the mud and causing all manner of instability within the club. i have no doubt it is one of the many factors that have conspired to put us in the hole we are currently in. Why is it that the AFL and the media had no problem raking us over the coals, but when a 'big' club faces a more serious issue it simply goes away?

Essendon won' get off easy.

If no stories are written, it's because Essendon could sue, it's a delicate issue - and one the AFL aren't in charge of.

I am surprised we are not being raked over the hot coals ourselves.

We are the ones getting off easy at the moment, no Essendon.

Welcome to the real world. Evans and Gil go to the logies together.

F******g amazing.


Expect some news shortly

There in huge trouble.

Demetriou was in the 7 news sport tonight, said in the next couple of weeks it is about to get very ugly for Essendon!

 

Were they his exact words?

Yes.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
