claims some qualification in biochemistry fwiw

Meh. Not the least bit worried.

But if something does come of it, we take our medicine the Cronulla way.

Not rioting. The other one.

 

Dank is just non-rocket scientist and a loose cannon throwing hand grenades, pardon the mixed metaphors.

The very last thing we need right now is to be involved in any sort of controversy.  We are slowly but surely starting emerge from the 'dung heap' of the last decade, but we are still in a 'fragile' state.  Any whiff of an odour emanating from what Barrett is peddling needs to be doused quickly, before it can impact in critical areas such as player retention and recruitment and memberships.  We don't need setbacks!

He is a pharmacist from memory. Started higher studies in other areas but never finished them. On of the funniest Essendon supporters I have heard was defending Dank saying he did all the work for a Phd but didn't finish because he didn't write it up, WTF!

Yeah, just brilliant.....

I recall Dunn's name also coming up at that particular time. And I don't think it was the ointment.

If I recall Dunn & some others had a Vitamin injection or something.

Anyway it was cleared because it was prescribed & documented.And injected by a qualified nurse I think.

As for Warriors report, he didn't state ASADA were interested in anyone other than Bock, based on Dank's BS.

He just likes to embellish things by implication and not statement of fact.

"From what I can tell he's got a physiology or pharmacology degree,'' Bishop, a research leader at Victoria University, said.

In February Dank told an interview with the ABC's 7.30 that he had a degree in biochemistry from the Queensland University of Technology, and was a PhD candidate (suspended last year) at the University of Sydney for a thesis on antioxidants.

It is believed Dank undertook a Masters degree in sports science at the University of NSW in the mid 1990s, but it is unclear whether he graduated.

"We have searched our system and have not been able to find a record of a Stephen Dank graduating from UNSW,'' a university spokeswoman said yesterday.

One of Dank's lecturers at the University of NSW, Kevin Norton, described him as a likable and intelligent student, but added "I can't say for sure that he qualified for his Masters."

"I'm not sure whether he graduated or not,'' Norton said.

I could remember it was one of the pharma's. Pretty sure I did read somewhere it was pharmacy, oh well, it doesn't really matter because he does appear to have some sort of qualification.

No further than having discussions with Bates and exchanges with Dunn as presented on the 7.30 report some time ago. I'm sure there is more information available if you go looking but frankly I can't be bothered.

He was "around".  That's enough to make me very weary.  

I am both weary and wary but there is a huge difference between the club engaging Dank or anyone else in a formal, legal sense and in the course of such engagement that person breaching AFL rules and having discussions with employees. Various people at the club "engage" with people on that level every day and it doesn't mean that any AFL rules have been breached or that anything sinister has taken place.

Who would believe anything that Dank states. Must have done creativity writing school. His next fictional work I believe is "Pride and Integrity". Barrett must be slow on the uptake to take Dankism on face value.

thanks chris.

if it was pharmacology or physiology it would just be a straight BSc degree (with one or both of these as a major i.e. 3rd year subject)

I know because i have a major in pharmacology not that it was ever of any use to me - lol

Story's dead, no-one's touched it since last night.

If there was a problem we'd know about it by now. 

Agrer 100% and i posted the same at 7:30am this morning. The fact that no one else has run with it after approx 20 hours now says all that needs to be said.

When slobbo broke the story about the filth with recreation drugs it was everywhere. No one at work today even mentioned it around the water cooler. 

Time to move on.

unless dank has hard evidence that asada is going to believe then this is going no where. Even if he has hard evidence he has already demonstrated that he is an uncooperative and unreliable witness so again, no action can be taken. He is just a monkey trying to rattle the bars to get attention, but a monkey looks cute, he just looks a fool.

Apparently Barrett is denying the use of multiple testosterone creams on his face.

Sauces on the beat of this information have indeed confirmed he has been taking loads facially as well as ingesting.

Many men are involved and Barrett is not confirming the reports as yet but his acne scarring has healed rapidly due to his man made concoctions according to anonymous reports.

  • 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.
