Thought I may as well bump this

I spend way too much time on Demonland but this thread and the prospect of very nasty things happening to the Essendon Football Club is the only one offering any joy at the moment.

Sadly you are not alone

I am much the same, Essendon may be the biggest drug cheats in the game but they still come to play. We are the biggest softcocks in the history of the game. Which is more shameful?

Drugs for sure! Nothing is more shameful than cheating!

Myth Busters

After many hour of intensive research down at the local, I had proven beyond any reasonable doubt that anyone can type the word "Thymomodulin" into a spreadsheet without actually have the substance in their possession.

Next week we will be investigating how a factory that only produces Thymosin beta-4 in China can turn this substance into Thymomodulin.

Supporting uber softcocks is infinitely more shameful and painful than gloating over others mistakes. We can feel it. Their supporters feel no shame.

That's because their supporters have no shame, and no ability to see past the smokescreen that has been put up around them.

I really do not understand the angst shown by some of the Essendon fans and Club in general with the case going to appeal at CAS. To my mind, no matter what the outcome of the AFL tribunal, it was always going to get there as the court of last appeal.

The AFL and therefore Essendon signed up to the WADA rules and guidelines and have to abide by them.

The time taken and the public debate have cemented 95% of the footballing public into their positions and understanding of the situation. the determination by CAS will be final but, whichever way it goes there are going to be some annoyed people.

Personally, I am comfortably satisfied that the players were injected with an illegal PED. I will, however accept CAS's judgment.

[The Reverend 1,736]

So if Tania, the prominent lawyer, hahahahahaha, thinks it is unconstitutional, should we expect to see a challenge to the high court?

It's the vibe!

[old dee 23,916]

Does that include tanking?

Reverand I am in need of your inside knowledge.

Can we get within 5 goals of the dogs at the weekend

[monoccular 17,607]

Lane's article raised a point that has hardly been mentioned before in this whole sordid tale. The rights of EssUndone's opponents to be able to fairly compete against possibly enhanced opposition.

The Bummer fans cry "unfair". Did they cry "unfair" when Oz swimmers couldn't keep up with their Chinese competitors. I bet they did. When our gymnasts fell short of those from the Soviet Bloc?? I bet they did.

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

Anyone seen a piece of paper? it's labeled Thymomodulin and has some player names on it, a guy i know named James seems to think it will somehow clear his name?

A sane mind could never understand an insane mind.

Just be thankful you're not one of them, CHF.

But we didn't tank Old Dee

I also don't count the type of tanking we did as cheating. Still a bloody deplorable time of the clubs history.

Not sure how you come to that conclusion Chris

Cheating is cheating tanking is just another version

You are however correct it was deplorable and we are still wearing the problems of that era.

Sentiments similar to Essendon supporters I know.

The difference with us is that the afls own rules were encouraging that behaviour!
