You raise an excellent point But it happened to arsenal so lol

Only 1 player so they wont change the result I wouldn't have thought.

They always make the same noises. "But hes such a good kid" "Would never mean to do this" "Isnt a cheat" "Leader of our club" "Punishment is far far too harsh"

I disagree. At the end of the day footy is 22v22. If one set of 22 has an advantage because they took whatever - even if due to support staff - then they have cheated. Not to mention health concerns etc with injecting unknown substances....

Wada need to send a message. Big time. Systematically inject 90% of your players with god knows what and suffer the consequences.

case is being heard "in camera" which means no one is allowed in without permission. the AFL were apparently granted permission to observe essendon were denied amazing how we havent heard a thing really given that essendon werent allowed in (sarcasm)

No essendon No leaks Im not saying essendon were doing the leaking...

They dont need new evidence. They just need judges that arent in the afls pockets and have the ability to join dots 3 and 4.

just need judges willing to join the very close dot between tb4 being imported to the chemist and into Danks hands to into the players bodies as part of their 10,000+ injections.

when does this thing start up anyway? Tuesday?

Irrespective of bans, if they are guilty jobe hands back his brownlow.

No suspensions would be a [censored] joke.

http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2015-11-10/world-anti-doping-agency-recommends-banning-of-russian-athletes/6925706 This all seems incredibly familiar. Of course when its russia they obviously did it but we in australia dont do that sort of thing...

I confess i had a dream last night in which i was surprised at work one morning by frosty, one of the female players and some club employee who worked in membership, saying id won a competition to have my membership upgraded to top of the range and hand delivered. I was pretty happy. Then glen ridge showed up in a jeep wearing a fluro orange female pantsuit and jacket and told me that i had to drive 2 hours to southbank. I told him to jog on and thats all i remember.

The senior players either knew everything or they just swallowed what hirdy was saying. Either way they should have done better.

Cale Morton. I still believe with the right weights program and in a decent team that didnt destroy his confidence he'd have been ok

Well yeah it is. Its to stop rogue people importing unknown substances from some factory in china that hasnt been tested on humans yet and using it on athletes... who are responsible and have the right of veto of what goes into their body.

If and when they get found guilty and cas recommend they are all banned for 2 years, wait for the public outcry on the afl to ditch wada and what a joke it all is ... except that the code is there to protect the player's health, but you know

Lets just hope CAS see this for what it was - the largest club sanctioned yet ungoverned illegal supplements regime in the history of team sport - and punish accordingly.

If a horse has big jake spencer on its back its going to come last!

Sorry but this get more people to games and get better slots is a joke. http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/attendances?year=2015&t=A&h=A&s=A North have how many friday night games next year? Doga average less than us to a game and have all these friday night games. We get stuck with [censored] timeslots and get the same average crowds.

Its not a competition its a TV show. The afl needs to remember it is running a competition.

I figured these guys needed their own topic after this little gem from caro http://m.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/union-told-jake-carlisles-manager-not-to-tell-saints-of-drug-allegations-20151029-gkmd80.html Tbh this is a disgrace. Would the saints have grounds to sue? Add this to the way theyve sided with essendon and the afl with the drugs saga and they arent exactly a wonderful union....
