Had to chuckle at Tanya's comment in The Age that dear old James was quote.... "dopey......very dopey."

Exactly, finally Tanya gets it. Exquisite.

Finally a confession from the Hiird camp

 

What sane human decides riding in today's conditions (for 65km, no less) is a good idea anyway? The mind boggles.

It seems he is spending the night in hospital under observation. Let's hope he makes a full recovery; we need to hear his side of the story, after all.

summed it here ^_^

Dees2014, what makes you think that Hird and Reid will be called to/allowed to be witnesses?

And how are they relevant to the specific appeal against the players or Danks?

I would have thought if ASADA had a skerrick of evidence against Hird and Reid they would have already used it.

Keep in mind WADA can bring in new evidence only if it was not known at the time of the AFL Tribunal.

Don't see it happening, tbh.

We are working under CAS rules here. WADA can bring any new evidence up they like - it is not like a local court. That is why Hird and his mates are in such panic. Most of the new evidence will come from the witnesses who were nobbled by Hird's hatchet men before the AFL Tribunal hearing, but this time they will be compelled by the Victorian courts to give evidence under oath to CAS. And they will. It is Essendon's and Hird's worst nightmare.

As far as why this seems as though it is at the last minute, well for the AFL Tribunal witnesses were not required to give evidence under oath basically on a technicality which does not exist for CAS and most legal experts seem to agree that this time these witnesses will no longer be able to hide behind a technicality. Further, the prosecution of coaches under ASADA/WADA is not unusual to follow a guilty case against players. Just look at the famous cycling cases where the cases were well and truly proven before infraction notices were even served on coaches and doctors. The same will happen here.

Careful, this is a forum for Demon supporters, you recall ... :lol::lol:

But it's the AFL suppressing the truth, not Hird! Didn't you see Albert's presser?

Let's not forget, Hird has been very forthcoming with "his side of the story" since that tribunal finding, as he'd promised to tell all throughout the investigation. Well... except for the part where he said, "we're all going to drop this now and never speak of it again."


So Dank is to appeal even though he refused to appear at his own case. Is this guy for real?

The hearing may mean the World Anti-Doping Agency's appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport against the findings of the AFL anti-doping tribunal will be delayed.

Stephen Dank to appeal AFL lifetime ban
 

Would WADA be worried?

Only significant new evidence which would support WADA case is likely to overturn parochial AFL decision

Still cant work out how Dank isnt in jail

Because he didn't do anything to anyone, not that anyone can prove (yet) that is.

wonder what the odds are of him turning up to his own appeal? lol

DC, the funny thing is he probably wouldn't turn up, just have his lawyers argue points of law.

He is such a creep, just like his buddy Hird.

I read a few days ago that the WADA brief to CAS was going to contain new evidence but I haven't seen anything further on that point since.

My guess is that its fifty/fifty as to whether a hearing involving Dank will ever take place.

If Dank's appeal delays the CAS hearing this will drag long into 2016 now (as if we didn't expect that already).

Got a feeling the Bombers will come out very flat this weekend, again.


No doubt Danks will turn up for the hearing of his appeal unless he suddenly gets ill the day before and asks for deferment.

How can you actually not turn up to your hearing initially to state your case, then appeal the result when it doesn't fall in your favour?

This guy is a complete halfwit.

half-wit? now that's generous

Zero-wit? Might be more accurate representation of his brain capacity.

I have it on good authority that that is not true.

I have heard that he has two wits, half-wit and eff-wit


"Fell off". Right. Are there any lengths the AFL will not go to to, to silence this brave campaigner for truth and justice?

But not even their hit men can overcome the protective powers of 3 Anzac day medals.

I can see Gill in his lair right now, pursing his lips and drumming his fingertips together, saying "Why am I surrounded by fools and incompetents?"

Are you invoking the Royal Family / MI5 / Princess in the tunnel conspiracy theory?

PS Ilove the "inspired by Lance Armstrong" post :-)))

Just thought you may like this.

Sadly that is how I end most days especially when we lose.

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.

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.

  • 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.

    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.
