Dank may well have sunk Bock with his statements, especially the name of the pharmacy as they may actually have kept real records. Dank doesn't probably realise he just sunk his appeal of the attempted traffic charge, although it may now be a traffic charge instead!

he also maintains asada told him it was not banned at the time.......haha

 

I agree that ASADA is correct in re-opening the matter. New evidence that is relevant shouldn't be ignored. It doesn't necessarily mean there will be a different conclusion, though.

Makes me wonder if he is confused and is getting the advice from someone with the same acronym? Maybe he has registered the Australian Society Against Drug Abuse name and he just asks himself.

everytime he admits something (intentional or not) he always throws in something like this which can be wishy washy to excuse himself of any wrong

the master of double speak and obfuscation. but the press still fawn all over him

If Dank said it was night time I would go outside to check.

Save time - put on the sunglasses and sun block and go straight outside.


Dank now planning to sue the Suns for unfair dismissal and also considering releasing details of his time at Melbourne. According to the smh article anyway.

This from the AGE article:

After leaving the Suns, Dank had stints at Cronulla in the NRL, Essendon and Melbourne - the latter where he worked for about four months before the Bombers' saga exploded in February, 2013. Dank is weighing up whether to release details of his time with the Demons.

 

Four months?

The man is toxic. Even Robbo's in on the act, already pre-empting this last week by mentioning Dank at Melbourne on 360. They simply will not stop in their efforts to distract people from what happened at Essendon.

Don't trust anything from companies associated with News Limited. They have tentacles all over the media landscape and have fought for Essendon the whole way, due to links higher up the hierarchy. Rich people have rich friends, and sadly Essendon are almost the richest in town.

And yet they don't see that their efforts are counter-productive. They want people to come around to thinking that "Essendon have been hard done by".

But by trying to drop Bock, MFC, Geelong in it, it becomes harder to maintain the idea that Suns, Demons, Cats were all on banned drugs ... but somehow Essendon weren't.

It becomes harder to maintain the idea that "Dank went rogue" when you're trying to demonstrate that he was doping players with impunity everywhere he went.

Journos like unbiased, agenda-free, only-seeking-the-truth-it's-got-nothing-to-do-with-getting-Essendon-off Chip "Essendon did nothing wrong, they were just victims of their own disorganisation and Dank-gone-rogue" le Grand, and d1ckheads like Robbo are not actually helping their cause.

I thought wasn't he working at Geelong, Hawthorn and the Backyard Woodchucks as well, peddling placebos?


listening to healy and co on 3aw describing dank's comments as a bombshell and referring to him as stephen. made me want to puke

Healy is just another News Limited mouthpiece, don't bother listening to the guy.

"News Limited", "agenda".

"Hand", "glove".

"Peaches", "cream".

New Limited, the ethics-free zone.

Wow. First i have heard of this. 

Not suprised that Dank is throwing Bombs at everyone now. He has nowhere to go and he will take a few scalps. 

Who was our CEO during that 4 months? (I thought it was 2-3 weeks)

So in 4 months i wonder how much our previous CEO new about what was going on. 

Could be time to speak Schwab & this time it better be solid facts rather than your smug BS. 

4 months is enough to do a lot of damage...

If he was at the club for 4 months instead of the back way through the doctor and it turns out weve been lying about it all, this club and sport will lose me forever. It will actually be the final straw for me

Whatever the answer it will be all out soon...

It's scary to think that Dank was allegedly with us for 4 months. How long does it take to give an injection  or a 1000 and what was he doing here?  I also find it ludicrous he could be pursuing an unfair dismissal claim after so many years unless with an agenda to profit himself.  He could be squeezing clubs  for a cash settlement because anything he says be it true or false can do untold damage to any club he has been associated with. He may have us and GC by the short and curlies.

I wouldn't think that is right. I don't believe he was ever on the payroll. He had an arrangement with Dr Bates that was terminated when the club found out about it as I understand it.

Mud throwing by a bunch ferals trying to divert eyes away from the real issues.

That was what I thought. First I heard of 4 months, so I raised it in case there was any reliable information on this. 


the inability of asada to force an interview or sub poena is a disaster for them in investigations that don't have +ve drug test results

Apart from numbskulls like Slobbo and unbiased and wholly agenda-free truth seekers like Chip, everyone is awake to the self serving and barely credible Dank agenda.

1. "I know where the bodies are buried"

2. "Do you really want to appear in a court/tribunal or would you rather shut me up? I can't talk with a mouth full of dollars."

Even if he blabs I don't think it will go anywhere. Annoyance factor only.

 

.....and still he just walks around.....

They do now (introduced in 2013). I don't know whether they can use them for events/investigations begun before that year. They couldn't in the EFC case because of timing although this was stepped around, at least with the players, because of the AFL's powers.

Hopefully one of the lawyers around here can add something, but I'd hope that Dank's claims might allow ASADA to declare their investigation a new one and use their current powers, including compulsion. Would love to see Dank hoist with his own petard ... syringe.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
