THE SAGA CONTINUES - WADA APPEALS

NRL have not signed up to WADA protocols, hence the continuing appalling behaviour of much of their playing Group. The AFL wanted to do this too until the federal government informed them that there would be no more subsidies, particularly on stadium and training facilities, from federal or state governmentS if they did not. They came into line.

If this had not happened, I suggest there would be Essendon style practices in almost every club, except no one would hear about them, as there are alleged to be in the NFL.

Not sure if anyone has seen the latest photos of Jarrod Hayne. Check out the arms. No way that is natural. Definitely no way in 12 months. Is NFL not signed up to WADA?

 

The NFL is not signed to WADA for one very good reason: they know what would happen if they were.

You may recall a spate of steroid scandals in major league baseball. Nothing compared to what goes on in the NFL.

Easy to spot? Really SWYL? I just thought their strategy was deny, deny, deny. I think, as a by product the players left but I would find it incredible if this was a planned strategy.

On the contrary, I find it incredible that delay to turn over the list would not have been part of any club with managers having half a brain.

There were early posts here suggesting that strategy and we don't worry about these things full time (I hope).
 

Delay everything AND blame!! Blame the delays on CAS...plus blame the AFL. Essendon think tank....Our tactics will be to blame and delay and give Slobbo and extra bottle of whisky or 2 every week so he'll be totally under our control and wont even notice.

The players will take the heat but NO ONE higher up there will take any of it for them. Hird is innocent, so is Reid, so is Evans so is Little ...hell even Dank is innocent ( ask him) and the players ( well we cant blame them as they're clearly the victims here) So actually everyone is innocent. I just dont know how they managed the most organised, ongoing and illegal drug ruse in the games history when everyone was so innocent. But look, its all gone on for so long now and the players have suffered enough and the public has had enough so please lets just all move along now. vomit.

Close!

yes they have. nrl plays under wada/asada restrictions, you only have to ask cronulla sharks.

i'm sure you know that. did you mean to say nfl in first sentence?

Sorry, an embarrassing typo. It should have been the NFL ie American Football. Sorry.

Former Don takes club, AFL to court over supplement documents

The court heard that early in 2012 a PowerPoint presentation was given to Essendon players, during which coach James Hird and senior players assured the team that the program was compliant with anti-doping regulations.

If so, one would expect Hird and the senior players involved to have some knowledge of the substance injected as part of the programme.

The senior players either knew everything or they just swallowed what hirdy was saying.

Either way they should have done better.

Its always the bloody Powerpoint presentation.

Its all Gates' fault :rolleyes:

don't think they swallowed it, bigg, more like they injected it


Injected = powered-point ?

How come they never took him to court?

Don't give hirdy ideas OD.

Hearing Worksafe Vic has finally decided charges will be laid at EFC!!

Reported on SKY news..........

Edited by jnrmac

Here it is folks....

Following a comprehensive investigation, WorkSafe has charged the Essendon Football Club with two breaches of the OHS Act 2004 in relation to its 2011-2012 supplements program. The charges are: • One breach of section 21(1) – failing to provide and maintain for employees a working environment that is, so far as is reasonably practicable, safe and without risks to health. • One breach of 21(2)(a) - failing to provide and maintain for employees a system of work that is, so far as is reasonably practicable, safe and without risks to health. WorkSafe understands the significant public interest in the details surrounding this matter. However, as it is now before the Court, it would be inappropriate to make any further comment at this time. WorkSafe has also completed its investigation into alleged breaches of the OHS Act by the Australian Football League. Following a review of the available and admissible evidence, it could not be established to the requisite standard that the AFL breached the OHS Act - See more at: http://worksafenews.com.au/news/item/448-essendon-football-club-charged.html#sthash.Es6P7GKx.dpuf

So no charges to the AFL - technically a signatory to the employment contract. That should mean the focus remains on the EFC and the Directors that oversaw the breaches.

Let the pain continue.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

    Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
