Unless CAS take longer than expected, and on current indications hearings begin in Sydney in November, there is no way he will coach them next year. In fact I am predicting he will be out of the AFL by mid next year. There will be a total rebuild at the Bombers, which will take years. At last the Hird era will be cleansed, and they will start again, and the whole of the AFL will be better off for it.

Then WADA can turn to Athletics!!

If they get banned the rebuild will take years. Good luck trading players in to what will be a non competitive reserves team for 2 yrs.

Had to laugh at a comment I overheard from one of the game's elite young midfielders a few months ago. A Bombers fan asked if they'd consider moving to Essendon. Their response? "No [censored] way."

This was his response to the EFC question.

Apparently there was an Essendon fundraiser last night to do with Neale Daniher's charitable cause. Attended by many past greats, notables and current players. No prize for guessing who was conspicuous by his absence.

Oh no I was looking forward to winning.

If two have done it they will assume the rest have unless the bombers prove otherwise i reckon.

From the sound of it it was found from routine samples. That means that if they can tie the injection date, as per the hopeless records, and say it was just before the test was taken then they could deduce they were all injected with it but due to be short period it is detectable they others don't have positives as they were injected too long before the sample was taken.

The complicating factor is that the test is in development and as far as I know it is not ratified by WADA for these purposes. This means the best they can say is it provides an indication rather than proof. The defence will jump all over that point and try and have is thrown out. Depends what the judges think as to the weight they give it. If they accept it then the players are f'd.

You forget this is not a court of law. Its CAS. They can attribute whatever weight they deem appropriate to whatever. Its their game now.

That's why I said it depends on what weight the judges choose to give it! Was I too ambiguous in that sentence?

actually. .yes.

Has nothing to do with the defences stand. Its what CAS apply.

Oh dear, there's that propaganda creeping up again!

Jimmy better get on the front foot and leak something damning against the AFL to Slobbo.

I would think his immediate priority is more short term like protecting his job or payout rather than continuing the charade of protecting his players.

I'm sure he's on the phone to CHUBB right now.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
