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.

Premature excitement mate. Keep it on ice for 10 more days :)

Take a cold shower, whack it with a spoon and call me in the morning.

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 ?

Its always the bloody Powerpoint presentation.

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..........

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
