The program was stopped in june so clearly they weren't on it any more by the time they played us

The "comfortable satisfaction " standard lies between the "beyond reasonable doubt" of criminal cases and the "balance of probabilities" of civil cases.

Ess will be tanking hard to make sure they get pick 1. Anything elsw they say is BS

Well im not sure id drive anything with the acronym KIA on the front. Edit : i know its not an acronym but geeez

They wont but there'll be an all mighty [censored] storm if dysons suspension starts fresh 2 years from today because he went to a sponsor event.

Heppel at a KIA event tonight... Problems? http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-02-01/suspended-don-steps-out Kia obviously major sponsor of essendon but apparently Dysons personal sponsor too...

On this basis, id argue that not having any records of what was injected is a form of assault in itself.

Its not like dank tied them down and injected them or the time i got mugged at needle point in Barcelona...

Dank hits back Mate, any time you wanna tell everyone what you actually did give the players would be good.

Are you serious?

Sorry, how do you know this?

Presumably we will be delisting players and promoting a rookie (or delisting a rookie) and the new rookie could stay on if good enough

I do feel we should be able to get another rookie. Most likely they wont turn out to be a player but what if the next aaron davey is out there?

The extra week of finals will put the kybosh on your plan pretty quickly. 22 h&a (+ a bye week) 4 finals weeks

True true. Ill have to find the quote

Baaaaaahahahahahaha this is so good I opted out before tb4 means A) tb4 was injected and B) that person knows when it was.

yep. 2 wild cards to be the 2 teams with the best record overall that arent in the top 2 of their group. RE group composition - Make it a TV event. Draw balls out of a hat or something. the fixtures can follow later.

its not really about that. its more about the attitude. "well if we get an injunction they will be able to play and then itll take years so theyll probably all be retired by the time its over" ie even if they did do it the punishment will mean nothing as they will still be able to play footy

Nail them on the fact that wada can pretty much say they had tb4 but ess cant offer any alternatives with proof of what they took. Which is what they did.

Well if they hadnt had a press conference If andy d hadnt told them ASADA might havebeen able to raid without anyone knowing they were coming

This club is a bloody disgrace. Has there ever been a bigger example of cheats trying everything to get away with it? Talk about bringing the game into disrepute. As for the AFL They are a disgrace as well - from the second they tipped off essendon they havent had the game as a whole as their best interest. Yuk. If it wasnt for the dees id be out

The guy genuinely thinks he is innocent. The club, the AFL and the AFLPA have told them the whole time that they are innocent, despite the fact that not one of them can say what the players were injected with (because the club obviously got rid of the records).
