Heres an essay topic for you The Bancroft ball tampering saga is a darker day for australian sport than essendons drug scandal. Discuss.

The afl are still protecting themselves by protecting essendon. Because NO ONE wants the full story to get out.

The question is - are they dodgy because they test lots and get lots of positives Or Are they less dodgy because they test lots and find more drug cheats than a sport like, say, soccer which has less than token testing and very few positive tests as a result?

Yes that sounds familiar doesnt it

But like They would have been better off if they had done a deal

Honestly if you were an essendon fan how stupid would you have to be. The reason the afl was trying to do all that [censored] is TO save essendon. Who should have been kickdd out of the comp for 2 years. Burnside is a human rights lawyer, not a wada code lawyer (a code the players signed up to remember) Popcorn

Not overly enthusiastic... i certainly dont love him or even respect him in the same ballpark as the rev or even bails

Id be beyond wild if he coached at the dees. [censored] it took me a whole season to warm to melksham and hibbert. And they are a long way from my favourites no matter how good they are. This was a systematic black ops hidden doping program that required the players to sign waivers and leave club premises to have the injections that were imported from china and Mexico with "no records" of any of it. Their punishment has been extremely light.

I think this will happen sooner or later. The problem will be as follows- If a team is hunting for a flag/in the mix for finals, someone like sloane will stay in the team. If a team's season is done, that player will be dropped in favour of a kid so fast their head will swim.

Hahahaha this'll be good!

So jobe has retired. Out of love with the game. Reckons it feels like "his partner cheated on him"

Due to our defensive game being high pressure with lots of covering each other, the width of the mcg may explain why we have close games there as teams are able to open us up due to more space but we play etihad well now because its narrower?

Kingy had a point in that it wasnt equal, but his point was wrong - ziebell shouldnt have been given anything

Ah yes, the weapon. He shut up shop very quickly. "Say that again?!"

The article said anything about his daughter would have to be separate

Yes because they would have to either A) fully disclose what they gave Or B) say they dont know whereupon they cant exactly defend the case

My thinking is that if they cant prove what he was given then they cant prove that what he was given WASNT damaging. Theyre gonna be hoisted on their own petard

Dont forget at the time asada was blasted for this... http://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/tim-watson-accuses-asada-investigators-of-using-scare-tactics-in-essendon-interviews/news-story/a88963added4a3bcd76b09cb876699d3

[censored] meet Fan

Hey mate, not sure if youre on facebook or not but if you are theres an awesome group called "blokes vs the black dog" which is a really safe and supportive space online for blokes to vent (Assuming you are a bloke of course)

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

Them playing on tuesday as guilty drug cheats is beyond vomit worthy #refusetowatch

Important to remember Even quarter by quarter
