Bombers scandal: charged, <redacted> and <infracted>

We dig into the archives to find out a little more about Stephen Dank

WHO IS STEPHEN DANK?

...

- it is believed Dank has since taken up a role at a different AFL club.

Any ideas?

Did I see someone post earlier that it was us?

I thought some of our boys seemed to be putting on a lot of size ...

 

That is one explanation of whatever was signed (if anything) - better than the one I suggested about never from suing the club. But wouldn't it look very suspicious if the entire team claimed to all be suffering the same injuries?

Exactly.

2012/13 off-season: Tanking vs Danking

Suddenly things don't seem quite as bad.

 

With ASADA involved the AFL cannot over ride them.

No, but I believe that the AFL can appeal any bans to the CAS (Court of Arbitration for Sport). It's a bit like in the Armstrong case, where there was conjecture that the UCI (the governing body for cycling) would appeal the bans applied by Armstrong's drug authority, USADA.

The big boys, WADA, can also get involved and override ASADA if they feel that any ASADA response is too lenient (or hasn't followed correct procedure).

Interesting times.

This waiver, if true, is mind boggling regardless of any illegal drug issue.

Mind-boggling indeed! And there are some here who criticise the way we handled "not deliberately trying to win". At least people weren't asked to sign waivers.

Bet they wish they hadn't cut the Bendigo VFL team loose for this season.

A few of those players could have stepped up for a few extra bucks.

Re Jobe I will be [censored] if the Chas gets stripped and handed to Cotchin, as I was in line for some decent schillachos had he won and I have torn up the ticket

I'll applaud that !
 

Whats Brocks take on this? :)

He'll take a trade to the Bombers now so he can finger Carlton in retrospect too.

No comment, but they're re-stocking the fridge in the green room of On The Couch as we speak so they can get a sound bite...

Here is a tip PSD

Don't gamble

Does it cure old age?

No, for that you will need New Snibbo!

It was me. A poster on Bomberblitz has Dank connected to us. No-one has yet stepped forward to say if this is untrue or not.

From what I can find out, he's based in Sydney these days, which doesn't mean he's not involved with us but makes it less likely. Also, he's not on the comprehensive staff list on the MFC website, which even includes Tommy Mc as the manager of the Demons shop...


I love this thread's title - Essendon Drug Cheats?

just sayin

I would love to hear Matty Lloyd's monosyllabic response to all this.

We are only hours away from learning how selective Caroline Wilson is in expressing high principle...or is that confected outrage?

If she has not mounted her high horse by tomorrow morning I think we can write her off entirely.

I would love to hear Matty Lloyd's monosyllabic response to all this.

He was on 3AW earlier

And I bet you cannot predict his tack?

Yep carping defence of Hird etc.

Oh well some things in life are predictable.

Lloyd and Luke Darcy need to be put in a capsule and fired directly into space.

I'm sure Richard Branson would help out for a larf.

You've got to feel bad for Goddard right now.

And he just got away from all the salubrious types at the Saints.

This is rather strange, Stuie. You and I being civil to each other. On this topic we unite against a common enemy!

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
