on?? whatever he takes

am I missing something....Warner obviously a Bomber fan then ? Or Legal expert...or a nong ??

I think there are threads only accessible if your a member...could be wrong

The arrogance of self import

He has attempted to minimise the remonstrations that would obviously occur to the offending club and lessen any penalties thus benefitting the League. His interests ( as I see them ) werent about natural justice and Essendon being penalised to the extent they ought he hoped obviously to lessen the impact. He meddled..and he f'd up.The AFL thinks its really above such lesser things as International Sports Governance and the health of its constituent personnel.i.e the players. its just plain wrong wrong wrong...Contemptable for mine

I have no doubt AD was primarily concerned with the AFL as a whole. He showed a rare moment of naivety in only calling them and not realising this would grow legs. I dont see Vlad as particularly innocent in any of this .

There's a difference...a fundamental one between the better teams in this comp and say...us. They use the draft to bolster stocks and build for the future, to augment a list. We've gone madly shopping with picks for our next Messiah, then the next, only to fail..etc. We've made it the cornerstone of list development. its A building block, not THE one. Roos knows and understands this and will guide this club as we change tac.

Not just a liking but almost a disdain in respect to the draft much preferring as you say known entities than rolling the dice in Kiddie Lotto.

Though this contention is being process in a Court of Law, the actual penalty and enforcement is done in another arena, i.e under the covenant of WADA and the rules as agreed to by the varying parties. Its up to WADA/ASADA to determine the seriousness not a Court of Law

Essendons legal team : I say...mind moving the Beamer so we can get to the Jag so we can drive the Merc !!!

yep

does that possibly make it even more likely we'll trade our early picks ?

ASADA can whack the club too if shown that 2 or more were naughty.... They can also penalise those 'supporting' the players in their mischief. Wont be that hard

probably will later to deliver the knock out "punch".... laying the Bombers out cold !

not sure...The Watts would probably just keep falling over !!!

It certainly seems as though its a play for time. The longer it drags on the less impact for some players if banned.

absolutely The Gnats have cue in the rack.

Essendon aren't going with the "Vibe" defence ?

Hasnt been laughed out of court yet ?

Cant everyone line up for a shot....not like he's thinking he'll get bruised !!

has it put everyone to sleep already ?

Chewbacca Defence

Is this Essendons Lawyer by chance

Let the games.......commence !!!!

Maybe Roos IS fallible !!
