THE DRUG SCANDAL: AFL TRIBUNAL DECIDES

[Willmoy1947 4,169]

If that team continues to win what happens. I've started my own private boycott already.

There must be hundreds of paid off people and others who know.

Just a post to keep upcoming BRANDZAC day top of mind!

A time to reflect on and celebrate the selfless exploits of PVT J. Watson No Aod9604. . . Heroic member of Bomber platoon.

"Because the truth of the Gallipoli experience was probably not "eating great tucker, watching historic footage on huge screens, seeing iconic entertainers live on stage and camping in authentic swags" ... or it might have been if you could add in the constant possibility of lingering and painful death, the stench of [censored] and bloated bodies, the gibbering fear in the boy beside you stinking with his own nervous urine and sweat."

Not sure this is necessary.

Might be some truth to the EFC line that they have an email from ASADA saying it was OK

Strongly doubt it.

It hasn't surfaced so far. Maybe it's stored with the records.

Probably damaged by sunlight or something.

A small point but he said he was injected with AOD9604. ASADA have never pursued that drug as being illegal.. Might be some truth to the EFC line that they have an email from ASADA saying it was OK

That's what he said but where is the proof to support that, isn't he obliged to know. And why do Essendon have that email, but no record of the actual injection regime?????

I don't like Anzac Day - i reckon Leunig has it pretty well covered. Hate it all, especially when you see Abbott scratching around for a war, to shore up his flagging popularity among the moron electorate. So if Essendon tarnish that great piece of culture I don't much mind.

But they are destroying sport.

Immunity, by means of denials and barefaced rejection of responsibility, has been accepted at AFL level - if ASADA and WADA concede or agree, it'll be "game over" in more ways than one. What will we do - have an annual remembrance day for when sport used to be part of Australian culture? For when we used to stand before the world and show how we Australians play the game?

A sure sign that you are well!!

[beelzebub 23,388]

Robbie..I have deep respect for Anzac Day.. we all should ( for mine ) but such commercialisations and hijacking by orgs like the AFL etc who then make a mockery of what heroism and selflessness is about trivialise the sanctity of it. To allow Drugdon to be the face is scandalous, repulsive and highly disrespectful . Im truly surprised the RSL hasnt kicked up a bit of a fuss

Guilty of other charges apparently, doesn't say what yet.

lol.

Can't believe he was cleared. The guy tried to source TB4 from China and was cleared of "attempting to administer TB4".

This whole thing is a complete travesty.

Bring on CAS.

[Bluey's Dad 3,419]

Much better!

Don't forget that the RSL brought into the idea in the first place. As the President of the RSL at the time, Bruce Ruxton was a massive supporter of the concept. My understanding from speaking with a couple of RSL Head Office types is that the RSL credit the Anzac Day game as a significant component in the resurrection of Anzac Day as a major day of respect.

By the way, the RSL's Victorian CEO, Mike Annett, is a Melbourne supporter.

Are they looking for their next injection?

Didn't think of it that way. Interesting.

I maintain though that a certain team should no longer be playing on ANZAC day.
