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

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.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
