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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
