Sounds like the MFC tanking outcome:

Hird and Bomber will hang - despite there being no proof of players taking illegal drugs

What a joke - Watson and others admitted it!

No evidence being in the form of 'no one kept records' absolute crap. Since these important documents were conveniently shredded we must assume all players took it. This rubbish about ASADA said this and WADA said something else is crap, if you are unsure you check.

I told you bb

i dont want to listen OD lalalalalalal lol
 

I told you bb

Sorry but I can't stand people that go around saying "I told you so"

If I had the time to look through all the threads I bet I could find you saying otherwise at some moment.

No one knew anything - just like the Scully saga (but apparently everyone knew about that..)

it is still ongoing with more charges possible

be still my beating heart... I just dont like the "vibe"

cut OD some slack my young Paduwan :)

If the players are all banned do Zaharakis and Goddard become free agents having not been injected?

if so 700k each to join the red and blue army ;)

... just because the weapon thinks some players were not injected, doesn't mean that he's right.

lets see what happens, but I think the proof will evaporate re the players.... & anyway, the instigators of this regime of enhancements, should go down like an anchor off the shelf.

what a load of [censored]
 

WADA won't like this. Charges will come to the players

Search away YD

But I can save you the time, your search will be fruitless however you will find lots of comment from people saying I was wrong.

It was obvious that the EFC has been confident for months the players would have little answer.

The problem is lots of Demonlanders wanted the Bombers destroyed and this coloured their judgement.

They only took in the evidence that suited that position.

I am fine bb i can defend myself.

You know that old saying winners are grinders and the rest can please themselves.

Won't happen Mickey, players are off the hook.

I told you bb

That's how i saw it as well OD. Ie., a managed/massaged outcome.

Keep the "team" in the game with some sort of penalty, outside of preventing the club from participating in the rest of the season.

I also suspect if any penalties are laid, that their nature might well allow thoses charged to resume their roles before the beginning of next season.

Send out the bad cop (legal announcement/show serious face & possibly a reasonably serious outcome on the surface), but in the end a fairly moderate outcome for all.

Nicely managed so far. Steady as she goes from Vlad & the boys.

WADA will still charge more.

This is just stage 1.

You are grasping at straws mate.

Players are home free.


So when does the fun begin?

You are grasping at straws mate.

Players are home free.

You are basing that on an interim report.

It aint over.

WADA will still charge more.

This is just stage 1.

If WADA is in dispute with ASADA over the categorisation of AOD etc that could take years and be just too hard WYL. Even if WADA eventually wanted to penalise individuals The AFL and/or the Bombers could then argue against it in court, quite possibly successfuly, under "natural justice" alone given the delay.

Red you might wish to comment on this aspect if you're about?

Has Essendon been charged as well or just individuals? Draft picks? Points?

I hope youre right but I smell a white wash.

I bet Chief sitting bull went over the waters to pow wow with The WaDa Tribe, to outline the 'story of a very sad times', when Tatonka were aplenty, & hunting was quick & clean, before the fleeing Tatonka shyte hit the ground.

whilst there with the WaDa tribe, the renowned rogue warrior A-rod was ordered from the village, whilst all tribes people watched on.

sitting bull was said to be very interested in the outcomes of these tribal trials, & was keen to listen to the fellow Chiefs stories of how things should be. & would be. the tribes wise men were sort for their wisdoms & directions.

..... sitting bull was seen reflecting on the 'story of a very sad times' on his journey homeward...

No evidence being in the form of 'no one kept records' absolute crap. Since these important documents were conveniently shredded we must assume all players took it. This rubbish about ASADA said this and WADA said something else is crap, if you are unsure you check.

And the gratuitous EFC Intranet hardware changes which were made with the departure of Dr Dank might have obscured ample data relating to individual banned drug usage. Good luck though finding a hard drive with eight .50 cal holes in it at the bottom of the Maribyrnong.

 

So Wada and Asada can still press charges of their own? is that correct?

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Having convincingly defeated last year’s premier and decisively outplayed the runner-up with 8.2 in the final quarter, nothing epitomized the Melbourne Football Club’s performance more than its 1.12 final half, particularly the eight consecutive behinds in the last term, against a struggling St Kilda team in the midst of a dismal losing streak. Just when stability and consistency were anticipated within the Demon ranks, they delivered a quintessential performance marked by instability and ill-conceived decisions, with the most striking aspect being their inaccuracy in kicking for goal, which suggested a lack of preparation (instead of sleeping in their hotel in Alice, were they having a night on the turps) rather than a well-rested team. Let’s face it - this kicking disease that makes them look like raw amateurs is becoming a millstone around the team’s neck.

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?
