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!

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.

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!

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...

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.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’
