He's in high demand for "sporties" and that will continue on.  He's not addressing the United Nations (wouldn't that be a laugh?)

It's how these things work.

I will always have a soft spot for Stephen Dank for what he did to Essendon. My dream is that they one day hire him again in the same role.

If it were Joe Daniher firing, there'd be no bullet holes on the house, period.

They pretty obviously tanked last season too. It gives me the shits.

Don't forget their mysterious resting of players for the Fremantle match this year, either.

I've always felt the  olympics was exceedingly  dodgy. This just   highlights  what  a  steaming pile of  &^it it  really is.

Every  country  has  cheats  it's  a matter  of  how to evade the  testers. Its fantastic to  see this  happen less than 2 weeks  before it starts. 

The IOC is an incredibly corrupt organisation  and  is  basically the root cause of all these problems.

In a way, it's similar to those who would pay to hear Chopper Reid speak about his criminal antics. In the end, he was quite a celebrity.

People are always fascinated by the nefarious doings of others.

I see the most morally bankrupt sporting organisation on the planet starts its four  year competition in a couple of weeks.

Cannot bring themselves to ban Russia outright.

That says it all they don't really care about drugs

[Sir Why You Little 34,927]

So Russia are competing in The Olympics

what an absolute Farce

boycott the broadcast

just don't watch any of it.

I doubt you and I not watching will achieve much Sir.

However I will not be watch as we all know down the track a number of winners will be found to be drug cheats.

It is as sure as the sun rising tomorrow.

Really enjoyed listening to Anthony Hudson cheering on Essendon yesterday. Glad they were so ordinary at kicking for goal.

Dank: "I don't have enemies or debts"

Dunno, about Dank, but the sort of people I had debts to aren't the sort who shoot up houses.  The fact that he used those words speaks volumes.

Who says banks and relatives don't use guns...

Well OD I understand your sentiments but you may as well stop following all professional sport including AFL footy.

Russia has some of the best Athletes on the planet.....and they're on the gear. Get on.

I seldom watch more than Melb games Ernest.

I watch NBL and attend some Tigers SEABL games plus a small number of Amos games.

for the previous reason that is my total these days.

If the MFC failed to exist I would abandon it as well.

I think I'm with you OD as to your last sentiment.

Robbo blatantly intimated on 360 tonight that Essendon tanked the Lions match to ensure pick 1 was theirs.

Of course, the AFL will do nothing. A notoriously dirty club caught for drug cheating will have no sanctions, despite now tanking. As soon as their players were banned, they banked on the wooden spoon and pick 1 as the key marketing coup that would rally supporters for 2017 after a write-off 2016. They knew players wouldn't be scarred from losing games because, "it was all WADA's fault we didn't have players!" and systematically used media mouthpieces to sell that message to supporters and fans. They also weren't as transparent as Melbourne at tanking, or as harmful to players; they strategically lost that game in the coaches box with dumbfounding inaction rather than questionable action as we did by playing players in the wrong positions. They didn't tag Daniel Rich, despite how easily he crumbles under a tag, and despite the fact that every other coach in the AFL used this tactic against Brisbane in 2016.

They threw that game to Brisbane for a very specific reason. And it all has to do with Academy clubs who have a draft-breaking attraction to pick 1: they don't have to use pick 1 on their top 2-3 pick Academy players because no other team can nominate/bid on a player before pick 1. Essentially, if an Academy club gets their hands on pick 1, they get to "double dip" on the best players in the draft under the new system -- they choose the best player in the open draft with pick 1, then the best player in their Academy with whatever scraps of late first-round picks remain.

Think of it this way: if Sydney had traded for pick 1 in the 2014 draft, they could have taken Petracca, Brayshaw or McCartin with pick 1, then taken Heeney with second round pick dregs. 

Clubs paid close attention to what we did with GWS and will fully exploit it this year to maximum effect. Naturally, Essendon are the most experienced cheats in the league, and will take full advantage of this situation.

Wow. I like the way you've jumped from Robbo "intimating" that the Bombers tanked to accepting it as fact.

An absolutely gutless cop out by an organization full of pomp and ceremony with no substance (sounds like a well known wannabe head of the UN)
