I honestly and sincerely wish I could agree with you, but I have seen so little this season to make me think that he REALLY DESPERATELY WANTS TO make the grade.
He shaved.

Jamar was absolutely terrible
Gawn was fantastic for a first up performance.
Jamar was not terrible today and put in a lot more than recent weeks maybe the internal competition will be good for him. Better still if they become an unstoppable duo.

Do you know what i love, right now you bag him and spit on his name..
But if next week he has 25 possies and shreds it, youll be back on the ban wagon, just like with Jack Trengove.
He was not that bad today, at some points he wasnt great, but what do you expect when people like you are whipping him constantly. Do have confidence through the roof?
lay off buddy.
Hell come good
I agree it's time to lay off him.
He was not as bad as he is being painted and is being played way out of position. I don't get why we don't run him through the middle at times or even try him up forward.

Andrian Anderson? Perfect CEO or not? We must get a proven powerful CEO with strong leadership the only other one for me would be Eugene arocca he seems to have left a fairly strong culture are north! Adrian Anderson would be my pick Demitriou may take a stronger liking to us haha
Not the right choice for the club. background in football operation matters so likely to want to be involved in the footy department which is not what we want.
Also limited experience in the business side of football, we need someone who has strong business experience in marketing and sponsorships.
I cant see him fitting the bill.

Exactly the wrong choice for us. Schwab lite and no CEO experience. PassAn interim CEO in the meantime..
As i mentioned last nite:
Adrian Anderson does something for Cricket Australia until mid year.. then..?
Id be talking to him now..

Turns up and that's it.

We need to start listening to this feedback.Whateley demonstrates in an unbiased article how deeply entrenched our problems are.
Watts wrong with Melbourne? Here's a good place to start, writes Gerard Whateley
.
One thing is clear we don't demand people play at 100% about 60% is adequate or use their god given skills.
Week after week Sylvia is allowed to put in half arsed efforts,most talented player on our list but never ever putting in a full game.
Ditto frawley at the moment seems to be waiting to leave.
Jack should turn up at training sans beard and say I want to play CHF. Col should demand to play on the ball and run all game or at least that's what neeld should demand.
Headduckers should be demoted for one instance of that.

Mark Robinson@Robbo_heraldsun
the expectation today is there will NOT be an announcement about Melbourne and the tanking investigation
I just watched the video and Caro said today.
Robbo must be wrong, like Don.

Thanks. 6 looks fat and slow..... No chance of a game for him.
-
phew I thought it said fight at first.....
He is just looking better and better cant wait for a game to see him in action. Smokey for Chas?
ps: did watts get the ball?

I don't think it has. The AFL has leaked about us for months. Clearly to organize today's presser the Crime Commission had to inform lots of people, politicians, various codes and print the report. It is quite likely there would be a leak at a late stage, for example 2 days ago a supporter of a certain club working at the printers.... gosh I could take CW's job,
Clearly ACC does not leak that would be extraordinary and explains why Essendon suddenly knew about it. No doubt they were told what was going to be in the report release today over the weekend.
Doubt the AFL knew much earlier.

Vic Pol:
"Competition design is a risk factor around match fixing."
-
As in - they have names and will prosecute?
No doubt from earlier presser is that they have names but cant release them for obvious statutory restrictions not to mention, operational and privacy reasons.
Vic Pol saying use of performance enhancing drugs more problematic from a prosecution point of view but use of illicit drugs and fixing will be subject to possible prosecution.
-
Vic Pol saying cant say much and cant talk about telephone intercepts (sounds like there may well be intercepts).
"Report opens up other lines of enquiry."
As i said before dynamite.....

Vic Pol presser on now:
Aust Crime Comm report "is more extensive than the report released today"

page 28:
The ACC has identified a range of substances that have limited to no history of use
in humans, are not approved for human use, or their use is considered ‘off-label’.
Substances being administered to players include:
• afamelanotide and melanocyte stimulating hormone (Melanotan™ I and II)
• AOD-9604—an anti-obesity drug currently going through human clinic trials
• Cerebrolysin™—a peptide extract from pig brain which is used to treat
alzheimer’s and stroke victims
• a form of Interleukin not prohibited by WADA—used in the treatment of burns
and inflammation associated with trauma (some other forms of Interleukin are
prohibited by WADA)
• TA-65™—a drug which acts on a section of the DNA and is purported to reduce
ageing at the cellular level
• Actovegin™—calf blood extract (used by a route of administration which is not
prohibited by WADA).
While these substances are not prohibited by WADA, due to a lack of long-term clinical
studies on the use of these substances or their ‘off-label’ use, their potential impact on
the health of players—both short and long-term—is unknown.
The apparent willingness of some high-performance coaches, trainers and sports
scientists to administer WADA-prohibited and experimental drugs and their advocacy
of ‘off-label’ substance use, raises concerns over the welfare of players who are being
administered these substances and broader issues for sports administrators in Australia.
It was also identified that some high-performance coaching staff utilised medical staff
rom outside their respective clubs to administer substances to players. In some cases,the medical staff administering these substances were not communicating with the
appointed team doctors nor advising team doctors of the treatments or substances
being administered to players. No party appeared to be maintaining comprehensive
medical records in relation to treatments being given to players. (my underlining).

page 27:The ACC has identified specific high-performance staff, sports scientists and
coaches within some codes who have condoned and/or orchestrated the administration
of prohibited substances, and substances not yet approved for human consumption,
to players.
In some cases, peptides and other substances were administered to players without
them understanding the nature of the substances, and without the knowledge of the
team doctor or club medical staff.

Report page 17 is dynamite.....
Elite Athletes 15
Widespread use of peptides has been identified, or is suspected by the ACC, in a number
of professional sporting codes in Australia. Although the use of peptides appears to be
more widespread in some major codes, individuals from a number of other sports are also
suspected of using peptides.
Multiple players (in one code) from a number of clubs are suspected of currently using or
having previously used peptides, which could constitute an anti-doping rule violation.16
Some players have also been identified as sourcing peptides for personal use. An instance
of team-based doping, orchestrated by some club officials and coaching staff, has also been
identified.
Apart from the peptide’s anabolic effects, it has been found that injured elite athletes,
particularly players from one sporting code, have been using peptides to assist in
rehabilitating soft tissue injuries.
While the level of suspected use of peptides varies between sporting codes, officials
from one club have been identified as administering, via injections and intravenous drips,
a variety of substances, possibly including peptides. Moreover, the substances were
administered at levels which were possibly in breach of WADA anti-doping rules. This
activity was orchestrated by some club officials and the club’s high performance unit.
While intelligence confirms the use of peptides in major sporting codes, it further suggests
that individuals in a range of other codes may also be using peptides.
