Damo Barrett has Melbourne in the gun

Anyone see this [censored] on the footy show tonight.  He has tried to connect us with Dank and supplements scandle over 3 years now..He will not leave it alone and now suggests that WADA is going to reopen a case on us. 

The club needs to get on the front foot and smash this [censored]. He is a parasite. 

 

 

Yeah saw it, Dank said he was at every training session from Nov to Feb just before the story blew open. Dank said he was dealing with Neil Craig who was asking Dank about increasing testosterone. Craig denies any wrongdoing.

Dank is certainly very vocal this week!

 

He's just blowing smoke.  They need him 'breaking' stories this week and, clearly, this is all he has.  Not worried in the slightest.

Personally, I reckon the AFL didn't want any more drug drama when they were going after Essendon, so they did a cursory investigation on us and gave us a clean bill of health.

I don't know how much we were tied up with Dank and his crew,  but it always felt like the AFL were more than keen to sweep our whitewash under the carpet.

 


Saty was at every training session too. 

But remember when asada asked for our records and we, you know, had them and gave them to asada? Like 16 other clubs did?

Oh yeah

He was just putting roofies in the Gatorade though, so he should get off lightly.

would not be many players left from then still with us anyway.....

I don't think any of them can be accused of performance enhancing either

Some pretty important Ones though though red and blue..It would destroy our club if we were put through the ringer like Essendon. JONES Gawn Dunn Then news. ..A lot more

Dank failed in his defamation cases so now he's just showing the world that he really is a [censored].

Poor Trenners. Can't catch a break

One of the worst AFL (so called) journalists ever to grace the pages/screens. What a lightweight. Great at making "Drivel" and hearsay sound like it's news worthy ground breaking fact!


Witness is without credit.  Next! 

Sorry I did not see the show. is Danks who said he gave the essendon boys absolutely nothing now saying he gave the demons drugs!

I agree with Tony T. We have no idea what Dank did at The MFC or how long he was actually involved

The club statement was generic at the time. Now all may be well, but if Dank was working in ANY CAPACITY for months then i would be very concerned. 

How the CEO or Board didn't know we were dealing with Dank at all is just apalling however this plays out. 

They found out later and responded. Bit late for that if there is even a shred of truth in Dank's timeline...

I saw the segment.Hell Bent summed it up. No mention that Dank gave Dees any drugs.

Would be so fantastic if after the tanking debacle we got caught up in another investigation

Un.    Don't worry. 

The AFL clearly ranks alleged tanking more seriously than using illegal peptides.

They reward teams found guilty of peptide use with top up players, and prime time games at prime venues.

Clearly we did the wrong thing: joked about tanking instead of getting on the hard stuff, and of course destroying or hiding records. 


On the bright side, if Dank coughs up and puts us in the [censored] we wont be missing too many players as there arent many left. On the downside if he does dump us in it and it is team wide then from memory the players are Jones, Gawn, Watts, Dunn, McDonald, Garland, Dawes?,  and Frawley and Clarke at other clubs. That would be the end of any winning we may do. 

On the plus side again, if we have records as we apparently do, and the players didn't sign any forms agreeing to be injected with banned drugs, then we are in a much stronger position than the Dons were. We also got cleared by ASADA so that gives me some confidence.

Didn't sound like they had much, besides Dank's word and that's worth less than nothing, though Barrett claimed to have seen some forms or something

Funny how Dank can now say all sorts of things about Bock and us yet is still silent on the Dons. I wonder when he will try and put Geelong in the gun.

Maybe if we did cheat he just wants everyone that cheated to be treated the same. His form of fair and equitable treatment.

It's shocking that he has just finished up in court trying to save his reputation and now he's gone and just admitted to being totally guilty of everything and more.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
