[beelzebub 23,200]

anyone else see the irony of playing our last game for the year on Dad's day and it was a dad's joke that got us int a pickle ...lol

[spirit of norm smith 15,248]

Neeld is gone. Bates is gone. Schwab is gone. Mclardy is gone. We have cleaned out the vain and the grossly stupid.

[spirit of norm smith 15,248]

And IMO Chris Connolly is not welcome back

[sue 9,018]

You've been posting for 7 months how Essendon and the Essendon players are all going to get off!!!

that's because he is a dee-pressive.

As for Caro, I reckon she is a poor excuse for a journalist no matter whom she is fingering.

Then again the number of journalists who actually do their job these days, rather than print press releases or go on personal vendettas can be counted on the fingers of a mutilated hand.

On the Melbourne investigation, we did what the AFL CEO publicly endorsed (in a Wilson article of all things) and were still hounded and chased while others who did exactly the same thing were ignored. Wilson and others in the media had amnesia about such things. On the Essendon investigation, not even idiots like Sam Newman endorsed the drug aspect of what the Bombers did.

God, everytime I look on this site it makes me more deprest to be a demon support.

[spirit of norm smith 15,248]

MFC supporters are RESILIENT (its a nicer word than fair dinkum Crazy !!!). We put up with so much shi%$#^*t, and vain twats like Schwab, Neeld & Connolly make us all suffer.

[daisycutter 29,341]

Ha ha. So true.

Every club claims the Caro has it in for them and that they get singled out.

except one notable club eh?

[rpfc 28,052]

I was never very comfortable with Wilson's reporting on the Essendon scandal because I knew from our ordeal who is drip feeding her information.

It is quite obvious she has The Bloated One giving her all she wants and I have no idea how to feel about this.

It promotes transparency (in a grotesque way) and allows the AFL to effectively control the one person in the football media who seemingly only writes about 'Who's Getting Fired Now?'

But the fact that he or she is not up front with the relationship is a little disconcerting and probably very frustrating for people who are fighting a ruling in private and in public...

I have heard from a reliable source within the AFL how this will play out.

We will be subjected to a 6 month investigation.

At the conclusion, our lawyers and the AFL lawyers will agree that there is no evidence of any wrongdoing.

A former sacked employee will then come forward and tell the investigators, that he heard an MFC employee joke about getting some antifungal cream for a player's tinea.

That will interpreted as code for a banned drug. This will be despite a doctor's certificate for the player's tinea on examination by him.

We will then be charged with bringing the game into disrepute.

We will be found guilty and penalized as follows:

1. All officials of the MFC in all areas, suspended for one year.

2. We will be banned from the next finals series we make, whenever that is.

3. We will be excluded from the next 3 drafts completely and banned from trading back in.

4. Any decent player in the AFL who considers coming to the MFC, will be banned from doing so.

5. We will not be allowed to play on the MCG for 5 years.

6. We will be banned from selling memberships and having sponsors for five years.

7. Any player who can kick or handball with the slightest accuracy will be removed from the club.

8. We will have to have Barry Prendergast back as our recruiting officer for the next 10 years after our draft penalties.

9. Only Neeld or Bailey will be allowed to coach the club for the next 10 years.

10. Lucas Cook will be brought back and played at FF for the next 5 years.

11. Jesse Hogan will be given to the Blues with us paying his salary and the same for Nathan Jones to the Bombers.

12. There will be absolutely no free kicks awarded to MFC players in games for 5 years unless a player is rendered unconscious and taken to hospital as a result of the incident. The opposing team will be allowed to appeal this decision to the nearest security guard.

Further penalties to be advised.

Jon Pierik has a story in the big paper today, confirming they will investigate us and Bock next.

> The messages show Dank and Bates discussed several substances, including the anti-obesity drug AOD-9604, cerebrolysin and thymomodulin.

Unbelievably, if we - unlike the Bombers - actually kept records of what was administered, could we possibly be hit even harder than try have been?

[Tony Tea 2,804]

What is the chance we kept records? Essendon was done for governance, we could get done for governance. oes anyone think Melbourne, with a management structure the laughing stock of the league, was run any better?

[DemonFrog 1,347]

Only if they are injected ...

I have concerns that certain Demonland members are experimenting with a sorts of Banana recepts which may or may not include the use of injections.

If we are so bloody confident that we didn't do anything wrong than it might save us, or the club had little idea of what Bates and Dank were doing...and those records are not what the players actually received...

[Redleg 40,219]

AD seems to suggest, when asked on Adelaide radio, that no other club was detected doing the wrong thing, during the AFL audit, after the ACC alerted it.

He then says we may be investigated, but he seemed to dampen any fears.

Our issue seems far more confined/limited, as only 1-2 players even mentioned and both under doctor's supervision and Dank never employed by us, as AD confirms. Doctor has also left the club immediately. We acted on notice.

AOD cream was mentioned for one player's foot and Jaded posted that it is not an illegal cream and I recall another being referred to with a specific vitamin.

Not sure there is even any proof that these 2 players even got to use the mentioned items.

PJ also said a while ago he had no concerns in this area at all.

If all above is correct, we should not be panicking.

[deanox 9,664]

The article on the age website talks about a 6 month program at Melbourne but that is the first I have heard of it. My biggest concern is Craigs involvement as it suggests someone other than the doctor may have known.

I think our biggest concern is that a player or two may be suspended rather than the cub going through Essendon Mark 2.
