So the players are not guilty because they dont know what they were injected with. Id be suing if my employer injected me with something unknown.

An argument strenuously put by David Grace, QC, for the players was this: we dispute the suggestion that the club sought and obtained thymosin beta 4. There was some contention that the club instead sought thymomodulin but, he said, if the drug that was administered to the players came untested out of a Chinese factory, who could be sure what it was? What was in it? Surely if thats the case then the players have to go. If their defence is "we dont know what it was but we took it anyway" then it could have been anything! That excuse cannot be allowed to pass. Cannot. If it did then everone would take what they liked!

also the amount of essendon supporters getting stuck into the pies over 2 positive a samples is ridiculous (especially given that if their b-samples are negative then they are not guilty, the end). obviously they still do not know that there is more than one way to breach the code than just a positive sample. the key differences would be that one was systematic, club endorsed, ungoverned and unrecorded (so we are told) and the other breaches have been by individuals or in this case pairs of players. also the difference in the way collingwood and freo have acted since have shown essendons behaviour to be a complete joke.

if the verdict is not guilty it will be an absolute disgrace. even in the evidence we have seen in the media they would have to go.

Mark Thompson says Essendon captain Jobe Watson should keep his 2012 Brownlow Medal LOL

comedy gold. what planet is the guy on?

I.e. tell me what you put into my body or pay up. Good.

People really should end up in jail as a result of this.

The other hun article where Thompson argues the players should get off because its all taken too long is hilarious

Because the corner is 90 degrees. Ill get my coat

Soidee must be cold.

Just saw the photo of jobe and co with their sashes made up of poppies for anzac day. Nearly threw up

not as delusional as "some of them are used in cancer treatments, so we really did them a favour"

Ie Youve no idea what you gave me. You didnt keep records. You could have pumped me full of anything. I will be compensated for any future health issues. I hope it's kyle riemers. They gave him a flogging in the media

heh heh wada are like buddy warming up as the sub to come on halfway through the third quarter in a pre-season grand final. "im not coming on unless im needed lads, but im sure as hell going to be ready if i have to"

Heard a little rumour that the afl wanted to give asada money to help them out with resources but couldnt as obviously would be seen as a conflict.

The lack of shepherding is yuk
