His excuse,

“a family member is in hospital with a life-threatening condition’

Old age is a life threatening condition, tonsillitis, appendicitis, tooth abscess, untreated ingrown toenail etc.....

The guy is a joke.

The tribunal essentially have asked for a medical certificate and without that the trial doesn't go ahead. 

[SaberFang 7,151]

Pathetic, the guy is clearly just wasting everyone's time now and has no intention of following through on the appeal. Basically he knows the system and knows how to waste everyone's resources; he's just disrespecting the whole process. In the real court system, Magistrates can just throw out vexatious litigants and prevent them from pulling this crap.

Clearly this works differently with the AFL Tribunal.

The guy is wasting everyone's time, but he does not care. He is not interested in anyone else, he is not interested in process, and the truth is something to be manipulated to suit his own purpose. He will say whatever he needs to today and then move on to something else tomorrow. He is without guilt, shame or conscience. Very similar to a President elect.

I still shudder at the thought that he entered the orbit of our football club, however briefly.

DC, poster of the week, and it's still only Monday!

[Mazer Rackham 14,971]

Family emergency. A member of the family is about to be disgraced in an open hearing.

I wonder who'll get sick on December 1? Dank had better keep track of how many of his grandmas have expired.

[Scooter 7]

How much [censored] does the court have to take from this moron. They should just throw it out. As far as im concerned it is done and dusted. Who is going to believe him either way?

Isn't the AFL Tribunal doing what a Magistrate would do? That is, telling him his case won't proceed unless he can prove the family emergency?

To his credit, you have to admit that he's been the most consistent player in this whole saga.

Dank still well enough to go on 5AA Radio tonight and say "i will get jabs medal back"

shut up jerk....

[xarronn 380]

I heard on the radio this morning that he has asked the current CEO, the former CEO and the AFL integrity officer to  appear at the tribunal to be questioned by him at his appeal.

Two thoughts:

1. This is the man who refused to appear before any of the investigations  into this Essendon case, and he seriously expects these guys to voluntarily appear now for him?

2. My thinking is that he is not seriously expecting them to appear, but wants an excuse to not proceed when they don't play his game.

Finally, IIRC, he has already lost cases in which he sued various people and was left with all the costs. He originally promised many more, I wonder if any more will see the light of day.

I would love to know what all the people at Essendon think of him now.

lol - there is a very big presumption in your question that the 'people at essendon' actually know how to 'think'

[Ted Lasso 19,518]

I write this being very confident Dank is all talk and has absolutely nothing, but even if he did have smoking gun evidence somehow i would have thought the players were still in breach

- failure to keep records is a bannable offense on it's own isn't it?

The only smoking gun evidence Dank has would show that the players, the coaches and club all got off very very lightly.

 

Who knows what game he's playing right now but it's guaranteed to end in tears. (His.)

[jnrmac 20,092]

Another baffling outcome:

How could any of the EFC 34 look at Dank and seriously think this guy was an expert in cutting edge pharmaceuticals? Or anything for that matter.

If he came near me with a BS explanation about calves blood and high performance and a needle I would run a mile.

They deserve everything they have received in penalties on that alone.
