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:

The ioc can't afford to have an uncompetitive russia

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.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
