I realise now that my support for Collingwood was un ethical, un conscionable and  un acceptable. I withdraw it and apologise to all.

 

it is absolutely understandable to want the Pies to win.

I will cheer for anyone thats playing against Essendrug.

    Bomber Thompson complaining that it ruined his life:

    http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/mark-thompson-says-the-essendon-supplement-scandal-will-probably-end-up-killing-him-20170420-gvogq5.html

     

    This is the bit that interests me:

    "I know what happened. I know that there was things that were added to the report, things were taken out of the report not to be seen."

     

    According to him, we are still blind to some of the events. The conflicted nature of the bodies involved compromised the contents of 'the report' (I assume this is the initial ASADA report?).
     

    He later implies the whole thing is the AFL's fault for not enforcing WADA's rules when Dank was at Gold Coast. His theory is that if they had, then Essendon wouldn't have hired him and none of this would have happened. I don't buy it. Essendon knew who they were in bed with IMHO. They are not the victims.

    Yep, maybe.

    Either way, the fact that stuff has been removed and inserted into a report is troubling.

    I read that report and with my limited command of Q's English it looked to have been maybe, possibly,slightly, minutely altered but i'm no QC.

    Didnt the weapon and Dank work at the Cats while Bomber was the senior coach?

    He would know them better than anyone. Zero sympathy.

    I completely agree.

    It's the 'adding and removing' things from the 'report' (whichever that may be) that interests me in that article.

    We'll never know the full story and the full extent of who was complicit (and conflicted) in what action.

    The whole thing is dirty.

    Still no club-wide punishment for the doping. Only governance failures. WTF.

    Maybe Thompson also knows where the records and reciepts are hidden if he "knows" what really happened.

    It's just amazing, Dank, Hird, Thompson and others all know the truth and want it out but just can't seem to articulate it. It must be a terrible burden the verbal paralysis holding it all in against their will.

    How could the Essendon football department be adamant no prohibited substances were given to players, when there are no records and they can't say what they were given.

    "Thompson never understood why Essendon self-reported on that fateful February day in 2013 because the key figures in the football department were adamant no prohibited substances were given to their players."

    Except he is only 1 person who wasnt conducting the investigation so he doesnt know what others know

  • Quote

    Thompson must know a lot what has happened at his club and at other clubs as well. Same as Dank, Hird etc. A lot of this has to do with being caught whilst others have gotten away with it. They are mightily [censored] off that they may be the scapegoated and made examples of. Problem is they can't say more without incriminating themselves and perhaps other clubs (Geelong, GC?) and paying a much higher price be it admitting a crime, being sued and further trashing their dodgy reputations. Thompson also has a couple of flags to protect.

    How about ... under certain circumstances. The Pies to win, with each of their 22 belting an EFC player and copping 6 weeks.

    Double negative.

    Fixed.

    God. it must burn Hird up. Knowing that they'll all be in a very good place when the truth comes out.

    I suppose it's the AFL, Demetriou, McLachlan, ASADA, WADA, CAS, Fed police, ALP, Worksafe, and the boy scouts all colluding to prevent it. Can't be any other explanation.

    Classic logic error. "If the police had been on the ball they would have put in place better security and I wouldn't have been able to rob that bank."

    That's all based on the assumption that he did anything illegal at the Gold Coast, given he was also involved at the cats I think bomber knew all he needed to know. 

    If you have some evidence bomber please come forwards otherwise stfu

    Yeah, I too find it hard to believe all these people who claim innocence and blame others yet don't reveal the records or any other info that might clear them. Dank, the Weapon, Bomber, Hird, the players etc. Can't have it both ways.

    BOMBER, IF YOU ARE INNOCENT THEN SHOW US WHAT YOU'VE GOT, ALL OF IT, OTHERWISE CRAWL BACK INTO YOUR HOLE AND SHUT UP!

    • GAMEDAY: Port Adelaide

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?
