shane is just making it perfectly clear to everyone what an unreliable witness he would make

no-one would put him up as a witness

what a great strategy, nearly as good as the lost records strategy

Look at the photo of him outside court

The guy is off his box...!

They can force him to testify and then catch him out lying - then the whole Essendon facade will crumble before our eyes. It would certainly help the WADA case which could take three months anyway.

No, not weird at all but rather, consistent with everything that's been revealed about a system of administering substances into the bodies of a team of elite athletes at a professional sporting club in this country attended by shady figures with underworld connections to banned drugs.

What's weird are the conclusions of the AFL Tribunal which was apparently comfortable about drawing no inferences surrounding the conduct and the knowledge of these shady figures concerning information on the substances that were administered at the Essendon Football Club and have mysteriously have gone missing.

Geez Jack, the guy is just trying to feed his family! Coppers come along take all his medications, haul him into court on trumped up charges . . the real villain here is that little "thug" McDevitt who continues his vendetta against innocent and defenseless athletes to further his political aspirations!

In a recent interview (below) this nasty little man McDevitt accuses esteemed commentator Alan Jones of willful ignorance . . I mean really!!

For the first time since last month's furore when 34 Essendon players were found not guilty of ASADA​ doping charges, Mr McDevitt​ has spoken of the threats to bomb his agency, the "wilful ignorance" of commentators such as Alan Jones and the new ways his staff will weed out sports cheats.

Alan Jones.......meh :unsure:

tuesday.. ( swiss time I think ..?? )

I wonder if WADA would bother appealing if the final development of the TB4 blood test is on the horizon? If so I would not waste the time, money and energy If I were them.

do we know much about the stored samples?

are all players covered?

are there multiple samples/player?

are they in the right timeframe?

are they blood or hair or both?

i ask because the recent efc troll on here intimated there are only 2 samples

Can they? They may be able to force him to appear, but doesn't he have a right to silence (so he doesn't incriminate himself)?

Don't underestimate the power and influence of Alan Jones over every NSW-based politician in the country (and some Queensland ones, too). Victorians don't understand how influential he is. He's far more powerful in NSW than any media figure in Victoria.

It would be easy to get around that, all WADA would need to do is stand up there with the testimony he gave ASADA and quote it, after quoting it they could simply ask 'is this true?'. If he refuses to answer then the testimony stands (with lower weight placed on it). If he answers yes then testimony was true and now backed by being sworn testimony. Where it falls down for ASADA is if he says it is not, they could ask what is not true and I would think he could refuse to answer. Then it would be up to the judges to work out how to handle the testimony.

Im fully conversant with who the bugger is. Just dont rate him as a human being. Hes not alone though. Terribly full of their own self import.

Deliberate pun?

not particularly


Is Essendon paying Jones for his favorable support?

Is cash for comments back on the agenda again?

Reminds me of Al and PM in the same room. Selling things!

From what I can see, not too many seem to share your view. The outcome at the tribunal turned on one decision, whether or not it was TB4 that left the plant - that manufactures TB4.

Once that domino didn't fall, none of the others followed.

I think Mc Devitt feels that the AFL tribunal stopped the domino from falling, which it should have done and then taken the other ones with it.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
