Drugs/doping in AFL

[Saintos The ITK]

I wonder if Essington employed Bomber Thompson with Pageboy Hirds forthcoming suspension in mind???

 

[Sheeza69]

How quiet has Workcover been..?? If player welfare is paramount, their silence is a major concern..

 

[Sheeza69]

Hird's finished..

 

[sauce_head]

And bye bye patty Ryder...

How do you get to the hot topic board now?

 

[Persevering Saint]

James Hird walks back through the door.

Players decide to leave.

Wow. What a coincidence. Anybody would think they don't like the guy...

Might have a lot to do with why Winderlich is giving it a way

Now that the injectors are out its time for the court case. Lets get the show (no, CIRCUS) on the road....

Essendon faded badly in the second half of the match tonight. I would have thought they had a drug to give them better endurance to overcome this?

I went to the game, and honestly, I have not seen a more influential game by the 3 umpires as I have seen tonight. Gave North 5 goals on a silver platter. I don't condone what Essendon have done, but honestly, irrespective of the drug saga, they should've won tonight.

Essendon could be farked.

Investigation is lawful

Yeah they are gone. The Bombers will have 14 days to respond to the SC notices.....

 

[VDS66]

Sadly...

I feel the urge to throw a party tonight.

 

[Ice-Wolf]

All applications dismissed, Essendon to pay costs.

Yee hah. From Nick Bowen's summary:

That was the worst result imaginable for Essendon.

Justice Middleton found all parts of the ASADA investigation lawful, including the provision of the interim report to the AFL.

Having made that ruling, he also went on to day that IF he had found aspects of the investigation unlawful, he would NOT have made an order striking out the show cause notices. Essentially, he said so on the basis ASADA could have regathered that information by getting the AFL to conduct player interviews again

 

[Barrels]

BREAKING: Justic Middleton has ruled in favour of ASADA....

No Dons players until we know what's happening with them...

[VDS66]

Next come the appeal etc etc.

In the meantime, I hope that Adelaide ties up Bomber on a 5 year deal... whilst players agree to stay only if Bomber continues as coach...

 

[VDS66]

Yeah, let's sing the club song...

See the Bombers shoot up up...

 

[Barrels]

Middleton -v- Essendon FC...

 

[sammm]

All applications dismissed, Essendon to pay costs.

To Essendon:

I remember that clip!!

 

[sauce_head]

Oh yeah! What a glorious waste of money! No doubt there will be an appeal as a thinly veiled attempt to delay the inevitable.

Give it back Jobe.
