What's even more unbelievable is that Dank is still peddling his quackery at a private medical clinic in Sydney. How can this be allowed?

The article is fire walled.

Can you summarize  it?  In particular is the clinic named, and / or any of its medical principals (note I avoid the word principles).  Worth a line to AHPRA in my opinion.

From the HUN article today quoting Tim Watson:

How can they say that with confidence if they don't know what was injected?   They must at least know what class of substance it was to be able to say that.

 

"Timmy, we have good news. We've worked out what we gave the players. It was only vitamins and a few harmless weight loss injections!"

"Oh, what a relief! I must admit, I was worried that the old black and red might have been letting the players down."

"Ha ha ha! Of course not Timmy. We have the payers best interests as our foremost concern! There may have been some other harmless medicines and equine feed supplements but nothing major and we're not certain anyway but they wouldn't have been anything really bad. And they were in tiny doses and they probably weren't administered anyway. And they wouldn't be harmful. There's nothing on the internet about them being harmful. In fact, there's nothing on the internet about them at all."

"Oh, great. I'll just go to a few independent medical advisors and ask them about the vitamins though, if you don't mind."

"You go for it Timmy. Because we love to help, here's a list of independent medical advisors that we happen to have. Run it past them. And don't forget to tell the papers."

If you search in Google news for "Stephen Dank Clinic" you will be able to read it at top of search page. Has a doctor there providing prescriptions for his bunnies. Is some woman doctor from Uruguay. 


Oh FFS, the good of the game. What a load of chit. The good of the game is for all clubs to have an even playing field.

"With the AFL now working to rehabilitate Essendon for the good of the game.."

I think sums it up, from the article

"Repeated calls to Dank and Dr Meneghetti were not returned but the medical receptionist at the clinic made it clear she would not pass on messages.

“Don’t call back here,” she said. “Get lost, get stuffed. You are full of [censored]. I have a patient here and you are just full of [censored].”

Is there some discrepancy between who handed over the additional information to Hunter, Essendon or the AFL ?

So who is actually holding this stuff? Are the AFL aware perhaps, of covert investigations into themselves as well as Essendon?

Would not surprise.

Just watched it too Jack. FMD, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. The poor dumb [censored] still believes they were hard done by - an injustice. And what about the claim that they were given written assurances that everthing was legal and above board etc !!!!

where was this?

AFL 360 a few mins ago.

I'll have to catch the replay later.

Apparently Dyson couldn't believe that one of the papers ran with the fact that the players hadn't disclosed on match day the supplements they'd taken... but the paper was only reporting the evidence that was offered by  ASADA/WADA - presumably passed on by the AFL and presumably which the players and Essendon could have refuted with their own documentation.

360 has lost all credibility by making Heppell a regular. Dumb as dishwater and wet behind the ears. 

Get the sense from hearing him talk though he's not dumb enough to stay with the club, reading between the lines he feels betrayed.

Please don't...I refuse to watch the show now that Heppel is on.

I would encourage everyone else to do the same...

Yet you watched it before with Robbo???? The only reason ever to watch it is the occasional insight by GW & Roos who isn't on this year.  Judging by the segment where they were driving around with the players in the car I won't be watching it much this year either - the lunatics are running the assylum.

This is a world where "the good of the game" means "covering our arses" :wacko:

4 corners absolutely destroyed essendon tonight and left me wondering how people arent in jail.

And they didnt even need to spin anything.

4 corners on the ABC just now - essential viewing to understand the real side of the players and their club.  Hal Hunter presents as a very hard done by individual and the club present exactly as you would expect.  What a pack of flogs!

Overall another bad night for Essendon. Their long term viability must be suspect especially when the law suits start.

  • 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.
