THE BOMBERS' DOPING SAGA - THE FAT LADY SINGS

Featured Replies

Theyre about as contrite as the kid who gets caught cheating on a test and gets an ice cream as a result.

 

Rohan Connolly will write a story soon to say that Hal Hunter was nothing more than a trouble maker

 

So Dank didn't turn up to his own appeal, who would have guessed? What a total FWit. No more sports nights or media coverage, ignore him.

I'll be shocked if there isn't an "accident" waiting for him to happen !!! :unsure:

 

By not showing up Dank can continue to give his little talks with added zest.  Now he can point out how his case  was unfairly dismissed just because the doctor who looked after his dying great-great-grandmother was run over by a WADA van before he could write him an excuse note for not showing up last week. Or some such.

Yes i tend to agree, by not accepting his final verdict the flame of his story still burns, weakly but it is still a flame in his little mind

But i also agree with the above that somebody just might take matters into their own hands and take him out

He does talk too much...


He's talking now,me thinks....

What about: "The Dopey Bombers Saga made The Fat Bloke Lose His Voice" moderators?

Short and 'sweet' from ASADA:

"...This man {Dank} should not be allowed near any athlete, anywhere in the world, ever," McDevitt said.

Here, Here!!

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/afl-throws-out-stephen-dank-appeal-after-noshow-20161128-gsz99f.html

On SEN drive home show, Jon Ralph, along with Mark "Mr Perception" Allen and Adam Cooney (enuf said), were tearing strips off Dank.

Worst criminal in Oz sport history, etc etc. Even to the point of wishing financial ruin on him. (A tad harsh!)

I wanted to ring in ... "so tell me, this Dank must have done something terrible. Something really awful to be the worst villain in Oz sport history. Tell me, what specifically did he do?"

I expect they would have backtracked at a million miles an hour. "Oh, we don't really know" ... "He robbed these young men of the prime of their careers, the cad, etc" .... all while avoiding the obvious "he was the technical expert in Oz's greatest doping scandal and injected all those players with multiple PEDs."

If Dank is the biggest villain, how did he get that way? Did EFC walk into the rooms one day to find this stranger injecting their players against their wills? Or did someone else ... potentially an even greater villain in sports history ... invite him in and direct him to these deeds?

The wilfull blindness makes me shake my head. Is this our great game?

Spot on Ted! It beggars belief that at least a couple of others weren't fully cognizant and supportive of what Dank was up to.


Boots 'n' all: there's no hiding Dyson Heppell's delight at being back in the Bombers locker room.

An interesting picture from this article: http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/dyson-heppell-renovated-rejuvenated-and-ready-to-captain-essendon-20161124-gsx1vl.html

On the captaincy:  "I feel I'm ready," he says."

Call me cynical but it cannot be a coincidence that Heppell is standing in front of Jobe's locker - a message for Jobe - time to move on pal...!!   Sure the photographer set it up but Heppell would have known exactly where he was and the significance of it.

Combined with Worsfold's commetns about Jobe doubting his passion, it looks like Jobe is being eased out, none too subtly either. 

No wonder Jobe is disillusioned.  That club would have imploded without him.  Deserves to keep the captaincy.

I think you're letting your cynicism roam on a long leash. It's been widely discussed that Jobe, if he were to play another season, would relinquish the captaincy in favour of Heppell. Really, there's nothing to see here.

Really?  Care to reference?

I've seen articles about Heppell taking over when Jobe hangs up his boots but not next year...could have missed them.

Jab deserves to keep nothing. He was the Captain through the whole disgrace and along with Hird would have known exactly what was going on.

That said Heppell doesn't deserve that smug smile either, but the AFL think differently.

We have two of the crew now in our team. Are you happy for them to smile SWYL?

No i am not, but i have to put up with it

I was not in favour of us taking them. However it is now a long time since 2012 they have all served their penalities.

My view is like when someone goes to jail for a crime, when they have served their sentence they deserve to re enter society and get on with their lives.

The same applies to the EFC 34 IMO.

It is time to put this all behind us as far as the players are concerned. 

They are all now legitimate players in a football team and should be treated for as such.

Nobody got the penalty they deserved..All 34 lied to WADA

That should have finished their careers

Would have stopped drug cheats forever.

Maybe. But i will not have any sympathy for any of them. 

Cheated the system and now welcomed back

it's wrong.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
