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.

    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...

    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.

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
