that would be a major cop out for the AFL...cant see WADA letting that slide through.

you'd think he'd know better and just stfu

Frawley would only be top 5 if his head was in the game sts. Not sure where its at sometimes

WADA The Code ready away fellow Demons

My apologies. In my fervour to possible bolster my description I may have stumbled into tautology. It happens

if I may an interpretation: My explanation of this would be to draw a distinction between a transgression in the normal world such as speeding, robbery etc whereby you're subject to the law as it is. Here what we really have ( imho ) is an in-house violation. Imagine a group of lads are working for a Burger franchise. When they signed on they agreed to a set of fair working conditions and these have been viewed and considered reasonable ( but strict ) They are allowed to say eat a happy burger , the chicken nuggets and the fries but they can NEVER consume the Wopper or add from the condiments bar. Doing so will result in instant dismissal. They are the rules. Simple Here we have a bunch who have been hoodwinked into helping themselves to the Woppers and saucing up from the condiment bar. Theyre in trouble. Irrespective of what the ringleader suggested all things revolve around the condition they signed on to. If they didnt read or understand then its their own bloody fault.

This ...... the bit many either don't (or won't ) comprehend. We're dealing effectively with a proprietary version of governance not the free for all outside world legal version.

pretty much Good interpretation of the current lay of the land

I just want Melbourne to win, I dont care who plays for us. I want the best outcome for the club

Why do you refuse to see it as it really is Bob ? There's a set of Rules. With these rules are protocols. These protocols outline responsibilities , pathways and requirements of all parties. They also are set by and agreed to by all participants in these sports. What in effect happens here is WADA/ASADA get wind of a transgression. They investigate. If they find that is most likely happened , and theres sufficient proof to instruct for a 'show cause' to be issued, it is. Its then incumbent upon the accused to proved their innocence. If they cant then an infraction is issued. its simple.. Some is told....You have done X, prove otherwise. Its actually the accused that ought to be putting forward the evidence of their innocence. its not really that hard

One senses a little bit of opportunistic revision to history. I suspect hes probably nearly telling the truth. I find it somewhat incredulous that he can claim to not know exactly what was in the viles.

Hird, the gall ( somewhat appropriate now... ) of this bloke seemingly knows no limits. We can only hope he keeps it up for there will be no hiding behind his masquerade eventually. Everyone will see him for exactly what he is

boom...tishhhhh !!!!

As does it me.. Have said this all along. Even more, we sit here and write this but surely there those supposedly in positions whose role is to watch over this that ought to be acting. It make you wonder.

i dont need to..our FD already is wait and watch

if i was a betting man ....id be thinking players around 25-27

I've often made much of having no empathy for Essendon supporters. A good mate, a daughter and a son (by marriage ) are Dons. Strangely they are not the blitz type !! They like footy and it must be painful. But its their club thats the cause, They need to be brought to task.

its just gone from simmer......to boil !!!! settle back and get your favourite nibbles !!!

......... ...........hmmmmm...

amen

No...not worse... just found

So if the simple truth is a collective of players , by design , ignorance , or other followed like lambs a narcissistic conniver's despicable attempt at human experimentation for the benefit of cheating and in doing so contravened guidelines which are publicly available let alone given instruction to whence a player joins the elite at AFL ? Should they not be punished in the manner prescribed as should all and sundry at the club responsible ? I do

My understanding is it wasnt ASADA at all. It was Dank claiming he was told by ASADA . I could be wrong but thats my reading on it.

well....that was where id be looking to go also

Essentially Nut Id have to agree. It just makes me wonder. if we were able to spend less time fixing our f' ups and more time into our own fwd 50 this is when we'd start winning more and consistently.
