Reckon there could be some movement at the "station" soon with "our boys" pushing their cases to further careers elsewhere.

The Age this arvo seems to think the CAS Case is stamped to be heard when Russia is out of the way which could be never.

 By 'our boys' you are talking about the dons aren't you? What makes you say this too?

Eternal optimism, gut feeling, instinct and love for "good" type players. No idea really

From the article in the Age:

The players' appeal will be submitted in Swiss German, as they argue their case on points of law. Their lawyers argue that the CAS hearing should not have been allowed to have been heard de novo – .....

.....a not guilty finding would help ease the stigma they continue to live with.

 

Sad to think that getting off on an obscure point of law would ease the stigma with some people.  But it would go further and be used to prove them innocent and hapless victims.

So agree!  

On another old tired point but relevent here. We were found not guilty of tanking.  Just as well hey....as the stigma from that could have gone for decades. Somehow I think if they get off ( they wont) on some wierd technicality the "not guilty" will be splashed across our papers into our heads as the TRUTH. 

Helps if you're a big club doesn't it.

The afl would give them new athletes and allow them to compete...

Agree. theres a few super important points about this. Ive heard that when they passed their urine samples illegally through the wall to avoid detection there weren't actually Russians on the other side. Yes they were paid for by the Russians but they werent actually Russians. Therefore to say "Russia cheated" is just an hysterical lie put out by an incompetent drug organisation in WADA.... and that means that the  athletes are all innocent!  Robbo will write the story for the sun tomorrow ( not) Terrible that that great nation has been besmirched in this fashion. cough cough. I think we should do all we can to make sure they win plenty of gold as soon as possible. 

The Russians are inventive if nothing else....   all borders of Eurovisionesque outlook really :rolleyes:

I get the feeling the IOC and the AFL are the same organisation.

Has anyone checked the directors of both?

Breaking news that Stephen Dank has been shot at home. Apparently just grazed his head.

Police ruling out terrorism. 

ABC Grandstand

#BREAKING: Stephen Dank has been wounded in a shooting incident in Melbourne. Several shots fired in Ascot Vale at 2:30am. #AFL

Conflicted by this news; abhor violence, Dank and poor marksmanship.

It still scares me - particularly the "you will never leave again" bit.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
