.

The spin doctors are hard at work OD.

They were suggestion this as the reason he may have pushed the envelope but were not using it as a reason to feel sorry for him.

They were quite critical in their comments.

at this stage i have no reason to believe the "pain-killer" story

may be true, may be not

athletes who get caught in testing always come up with a similar excuse

Spot on dc

Was it significant yesterday the the Freo President said Crowley is using his own lawyers?

There is a lot still to play out in this story. At the moment we're just hearing Freo spin.

It is a bitter pill for Crowley to swallow.

But [censored] him.

Quite right Biff!

The guy must surely be a simpleton. What else explains getting done for drugs in the current climate?

The Freo guys apparently have four educational sessions a year warning about drugs. FMD.

It's not just the Freo boys who have it drummed into their heads that players are responsible for what goes in their body but all AFL players and that's been going on since the AFL signed on to ASADA/WADA.

The players are lectured about and warned that they need to take responsibilty and will be held accountable for breaches.

This is why it's the responsibility of the AFL/ASADA/WADA to ensure that players found guilty of ingesting banned substances are appropriately punished in such circumstances.

In the case of Crowley, it's extraordinary that he went over the head of the club and its medical people and took a painkiller without the proper advice and he will suffer for it as will the EFC 34 if found guilty.

The wet tram ticket punishment suggested in some circles would be an affront to all clean sportspersons and make our sport a laughing stock.

Why on earth any player in any team in the league would need a educational session about drugs with what has unfolded with Essendon is simply beyond me. ( the education session should go something like this - "good morning players. Essendon. That's all. The end")

seems likely that if he did use a pain-killer it was one of the opiates only available via prescription

he would need to be a able to provide proof of a script from that time-frame

so far he has not (publicly) named the pain-killer

it was mentioned in the paper that the reason for the delay of a tribunal hearing was at his request in order to prepare a defense

But at the moment "Essendon have done nothing wrong". The players are all victims. The AFL is victimising James.

It is definitely why this case has to be finalised with adequate penalties

It would be very difficult for even the AFL to spin enough to justify any penalty being any less than that imposed on Saad.

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form
