Andrew Demetriou just said in the AFL press conference on Essendon's sanctions, that the investigation will now move to the Melbourne supplement allegations.

    Interesting. Didn't move to Carlton after our tanking allegations?

    My ears pricked up at that too...

    I was expecting some form of investigation.

    I am curious myself what the hell we were doing, or whether we just let Bates do his own thing.

    Fine and another admonishment probably...

    Kick away AFL, we're all numb after this season anyway, and won't feel a thing!

    Oh God now we take centre stage do we? Surely we were the control group, taking the placebos! While people are rejoicing on the penalties to EFC it sets the limits for our potential punishment. We lose draft picks and we are stuffed.

    Given the idiots in charge of our club last year what chance we have any confidence in the governance of the medical staff and what they may have been up to!

    what ever happens no one make a joke.... !!! :unsure:

    Will a $1 million fine kill the club? Can we afford another scandal? Tanking and performance enhancing in a short period of time. Wow. Oh I forget we were fined for not tanking.

    Can they ban Neeld retrospectively? Wasn't doing much coaching this season anyway.

    They can't do anything to us cause we are already paying a heavy price for our own self inflicted fart ups.

    They are considering giving us a pp what they are going to do ban us from the draft?

    The other thing this could make it harder for us to get a coach.

    I would think that we're the AFL to decide to kick us when we are way down at our lowest ever ebb, and having made huge moves in governance and personnel, our once great club would be stone dead and buried.

    We would certainly attract NO players of any value in the coming trading season - absolutely none.

    Certainly were an investigation to be ongoing at the start of season 2014, we would struggle to get 5,000 members. And I doubt if they would instigate an investigation were they not pretty sure they were onto something.

    a nothing investigation

    If there was anything of substance related to us it would have come out in the press by now

    Think we should have a chill out for a second. Would be surprised if we were taking blokes offsite , carrying out stuff like Essendon. Lets wait a second before the floggings begin.

    Suspend Mark Neeld.

    Most likely punishment involves Mark Neeld being reinstated as coach of MFC. A punishment for all involved.

    From memory it was only a couple of players and not the whole team like the dons.

    I know Craig's and trenners name was mentioned but can't remember much more than that.

    No doubt the media will remind us all.

    I've forgotten what we were supposed to have done. Did Jack Trengove get some cream rubbed on his foot or something?

    Bit of a different scale to 125 jabs.

    No surprise at all, will be interesting and potentially frightening to see what happened and where we stand.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
