"I don't believe it. Yes, there is a possibility [that the players were given illegal supplements] - no-one knows, except Stephen Dank, what they put in those injection." This sums it up for me. They are innocent But no one knows I mean seriously

Turned it off already. She might as well have her hand in his pants.

Kinda like if a kid does the wrong thing and recognises it and is apologetic and remorseful you might be willing to cut them some slack but if they lie and argue then you'll throw the book at them (not literally)

Yeah but it's only going to get you back up to being able to play. It won't give you an edge over others who are already fit

Injections of medicine are a bit different if it's for treatment of an injury.

Me either!

Link?

The afl are disgusting. The last 10 years has seen my love of footy drop and drop If it wasn't for the dees id probably just get around the old Churchill cougars every Saturday and drink cheap cold cans of VB in the back of the ute...

Busy working out if they can take the afl to the Supreme Court to see if they can get the afl to not enforce the suspensions And no I'm Not joking

Of course they know. They'd have rather been guilty of workplace negligence for not keeping records than let the players be suspended for taking banned substances. Thanks to wada asada and the CAS that strategy backfired spectacularly

They were getting injections before Reid got wind of it so they signed consent forms and hid it all again. BTW that is a [censored] disgrace from the afl and essendon, asking for costs after Hunter asked for docs relating to what he'd been injected with. What a bunch of [censored].

Who's waiting? If you're good you don't need the picks If you're rubbish then you do

Except when we were absolutely rubbish... My solution would be to add the number of wins over a 5 year period and do it that way. No team is going to want to be rubbish for half a season just so they get a pick lower Also stops teams like wce going top 4 bottom 4 top 4

Except the club's that are truly crap and actually need the picks won't beat the teams around them

Hirdy Just realised that has nothing to do with what I quoted.... was half asleep sorry

You mean like the players he just threw under the bus because "protocols weren't followed"

hirdy part 1 Protocols were ignored eh? "WE need your UN skills Danny (Corcoran)"

No No Essendon can get stuffed. They shouldn't be getting top up players They shouldn't even be in the competition on the back of the fact that 34 of 46 players are guilty of doping.

I thought he was more saying that if an independent body had investigated and judged that we would have been in trouble - ie he had no faith in the afl to do things properly. The purple headed warrior pretty much said he didn't have any faith in the afl anti doping tribunal because it was afl run straight after. Ie they are corrupt

Not to mention allowing ess to keep pick 1 etc. If it wasn't for wada the cheats would have prospered epically.

I kind of like the idea of Lance Armstrong playing hirdy. Would need a wig though

Well they did interview kyle and he was roundly panned by all and sundry to the point where he should probably be suing some people now (like spike) for defamation

That 12 (12!!!!) Players did not take part is the biggest smoking gun for me. It clearly says there was the option to opt out. 12 players took responsibility for themselves. 34 didn't.

That's different as there would have been a different finals series. This just disqualifies one player that has no effect on the others

Irrelevant. Award it to them as rightful winners. It's not an asterisk. Jabcheated. same as when someone was suspended and won it
