Wouldn't of taken to long to notice a change of physique  with multiple injections a week and a specific diet. 

They might have been told to expect exactly that. Remember that danky thought he was more clever than anyone else.

 

It never takes long to see a big difference, if you hit the gym hard, and eat right. But, someone, anyone from the players group, or families, should have checked further. That's the first ringing bell. It was all secret, even during questioning.

All players are instructed every year by every club about the drug policy.

Between 1990 and 2007 more than 6000 anti-doping code tests were conducted in and out of competition.

In 2007 the players put this out http://www.sportingpulse.com/get_file.cgi?id=1225710  about saying no to drugs.

Are you seriously suggesting compassion for a group of elite athletes trained annually in drug policy that fail to contact ASADA or any independent professional to clarify if the 100's of injections are all above board?

No my friend they are complicit and need to be punished. No compassion, do the crime do the time!

 

The problem is that their training says to check with the club doc, not ASADA. That is where the whole AFL thing goes wrong and opens everyone up to this very situation.

Only because j have thought the whole club did it and was 100% guilty since day 1 that it broke.

Try answering the point. There's a reason to having rules and there's consequences for breaking them.

are you sure it is as black and white as that, chris

i find it hard to believe that it isn't drummed into them that they have ultimate responsibility and they can seek the resources of asada. i would also expect that asada themselves provide at least some education either in person or in materials and that it is not just conducted 100% by the afl. 

anyway, in this case we know that doc reid disapproved of this program and wrote a letter to the club. it would seem he didn't share this letter or it's contents with the players and furthermore when his letter was ignored he didn't take it any further or partake in the program. so if the afl training told the players to check with the club doc and he was obviously bypassed, then the players should have heard the alarm bells ringing very loudly

Yes they should have. Don't get me wrong, they are responsible and should be penalised if guilty, and penalised heavily. They are to a small degree the victims of the appalling culture of the AFL though.

This "letter from Doc Reid business" has a degree of suspicious fascination about it. 

Because it just does and does not have to exist, doesn't it.

Have always thought Reidshould have be stricken off. Still do.

Totally agree

 

AHPRA have been as slack, or worse, as the AFL and ASADA 

 

Reid's first and only duty is to his patients, yet he allowed himself to continue in the employ of, and still does, of a club that indulged in practices that (he claims) he disapproved of.    If a doctor puts his or his payers / employers interests ahead of those of his patients he is behaving unethically and should not be practicing.

So remind me again why the club doctor is still practising medicine let alone be allowed to be near a team of young men??

He has failed so much at so many levels. He is just a Hird fanboi.

Yes a business acquaintance of mine claims to know him very well and says the threat to take the AFL to court was all bluff. The Essendon hierarchy all knew what position they were in and Hird, Reid and co. just tried to bluster their way out of it. And are still doing so.

We all know the AFL don't like court...they will do anything to avoid it.

Chris, these young men are tech savvy. ASADA recommends checking with their site. You enter the questionable substance and the site tells you if it is illegal or not then gives you a response number to record that you have obtained the information. Why would none of the 34 have followed recommended procedure and checked if the substance was legal? (Rhetorical) They new they were cheating and chose to stay quiet.

Very few of us have any belief in the credibility and moral uprightness of the AFL. Nor on bigfooty or any other fan forum. Or people you meet at barbies and so on.

I don't know, but I imagine there is a healthy degree of cynicism at AFL clubs around the thoughts and deeds of the AFL management.

It is not a stretch to believe that the young men who nothing of anything except footy, coming into a club, are more inclined to "monkey see, monkey do" and copy their peers and elders at the club rather than put their faith and trust in the AFL.

"Jobe says it's alright and he's the captain. Hell, Hirdy says it's alright and he's Hirdy!!!!" (Meanwhile some suit bored us to tears with some powerpoint thing that went for ages when I could have been playing Grand Theft Auto.)

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
