Channel 9 is a bystander when it comes to Grand Final and Brownlow week at the moment

Get Parrot to say Dank is thinking of taking legal action, he has been thinking about that since the ban was put in place

Headline grabbing which failed miserably

Posted

This time around he will try and follow this through because he has to.  But these sorts of things would cost plenty and you'd have to wonder whether he'd have the funds.  But there again,  there are means. 

It could get messy especially if the collective lie about what happened at Essendon is exposed.   That's something that I would like to see ... full transparency.

I just want to see the whole thing re-surface.  I didn't get closure because too many believe that nothing untoward happened - or perhaps that's what they want to believe. 

And if it does re-surface and we start hearing about what exactly did take place (in great detail) maybe then most will then view it all with the blinkers off.

if it is up to dank then it will be fake news, either real fake or perceived as fake

if he produces paperwork it will either be either forged or selective and incomplete

sure he can muddy the waters, but the net result would just be muddier

if he tips someone else into it, it will be seen as just deflection

he won't admit any guilt because the whole purpose would be to work again the sport business

as others said before he won't turn up

You're probably right dc

But I'm hoping that we'll somehow have the whole PED program exposed for what it was.  It's a false hope but you never know.

1. Dank probably won't show up

2. His "legal team" will be straight out The Simpsons

3. as an appeal, it won't be a re-hearing of the case. So no introduction of new evidence. It hinges on whether the AFL applied their own rules properly.

4. if the ban was quashed, the AFL drug tribunal can sit again and ban him again. No "double jeopardy" because they're a sporting tribunal, not a court.

5. either way, what sporting club wants to attract the kind of attention that Dank brings?

 

So, a circus, but not the expose that many of us would like to see.

couldn't bring myself to watch.  Was there much booing?  (I reckon there would have been a lot from the Tiger's supporters if Adelaide had won, but having won they would be feeling generous.)

Was there a goodly amount and volume of booing?

Was HWSNBN introduced by Gil as a martyred hero coming home??

Was a bit of an audible boo on the telly. Not huge but to many people celebrating the win and the AFL didn't pump him up at all in the announcement. It was kind of ' AND THE NORM SMITH IS BEING PRESENTED BY james hird AND THE WINNER IS DUSTY' and then Hird was ussered away. 

On the ETC in general. It annoys me they are still in the league, it frustrates me they think the AFL did wrong by them when the AFL has bent over to protect them and continues to do so. I refused to watch them this year and saw one quarter of their game against us and that was it for the year. I will continue to not watch or go to games that they are involved in.

Fairly low key really

but he was booed. I bet the radio Audio is higher than the TV

I reckon Seven manipulated the audio to reduce the booing; it was deafeningly loud at the ground and outweighed the cheering by a substantial margin.

Watson has been found by the Court of Arbitration in Sport to have used a performance enhancing drug during the season in which he won his Brownlow. How is it possible for him to keep it? 

Watson must return the Brownlow for re-awarding to a more meritorious player that did not take performance-enhancing drugs. Watson, like all others of the affected Essendon players knew he (and they were) was taking such illicit substances as professional sportsmen and this was encouraged and endorsed by Hird at the helm. The AFL would be highly remiss if it did not impose sanctions, as appropriate, to those at Essendon who were identified as using performance-enhancing substances; in fact, there must also be sanctions against Essendon receiving 'sympathy' draft or recruiting rights because of this massive transgression. Courts and international authorities do not get these assessments wrong.

Most likely about his multi million dollar investment or personal drug use.

I really hate the way the media associate this with the whole Essendon saga.

Really? I absolutely love it.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
