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.

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...

Short and 'sweet' from ASADA:

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

Here, Here!!

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.

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    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
