Saga should be over soon.

[hairy biker]

ASADA and Mcnuggets are cracking lolol, They have nothing and you can tell.

So it is ASADA's intention that they and Judge Downes be held up to public ridicule because when they present to the ADRVP and potentially the AFL tribunal it will be discovered "they have nothing"?

 

[MaddAdam]

McDevitt, being a cop, using Cop 101 tactics on the players here.

"Come on mate, we know you weren't a big player in this. Mate, you're as much a victim as anything. I wish I wasn't sitting here doing this. Just roll over, give us the name, tell us what happened, we can go easy on you, make this all go away really quickly."

 

[LoungeLizard]

No case? I take it you've seen all the evidence and had time to go over it with lawyers?

A while ago poor Bobby said they had no evidence, now they have produced some, now it is they have no case.
I can't remember a thing that poor Bobby has go right, but he keeps trying

 

[Ancient Tiger]

You would be too if you were being exposed as a bully with no case.

Serious question. Have you read the 350 pages of summarized evidence for each player?

 

[spackler]

That statement was so defensive, Like a school kids response, Benny's tears delicious.

Lol. Have you spent any time with ex/current senior cops? They are a special breed.
I think your reading of his language is off the mark.
Each to their own though.... guess we'll see soon

Maybe he can be a bit like Sipowicz from NYPD blue and use a bit of the old police brutality to get a confession.

 

[Tiger2709]

They don't have enough, Plain as day.

To you maybe, but then you have not seen the evidence and really have no idea except what is just your own opinion, nothing about this case is "plain as day"

 

[SBYM]

But then, this is the football club that convinced itself Ariel Steinberg was worthy of a game in a final, so anything's possible really.

Oh behave.....

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

My take on the players taking this on is that they have been advised on what they could be up for (not good). And so they have no choice.

I got a feeling the players are going to get reamed.

LOL. Put yourself in player's shoes, if you were advised the evidence is strong and you could be in deep s**t then of course you would go straight to ASADA and try and make a deal.

 

[TerryWallet]

Yes, this exactly the response that would be expected when they don't have the nuts.
Anyway, closure date of submissions is Monday - ASADA and ADRVP will be under great pressure to proceed without their usual delays regardless of posturing excuses by PC McDevitt.

By great pressure, you mean another Chip article right? lol

Oh, and drink, for another use of the word delay lol

 

[Armchair Critic]

You would be too if you were being exposed as a bully with no case.

ASADA's legal team has already had a Rd 1 knockout against Essendon, AFLPA and Hirds lawyers in the court room, I think their legal team goes ok. You can just listen to those EFC paid lawyers though. More fool you.

In someone's fantasy, apparently yes.

 

[Armchair Critic]

LOL. Put yourself in player's shoes, if you were advised the evidence is strong and you could be in deep s**t then of course you would go straight to ASADA and try and make a deal.

That is if ASADA are willing to make deals still. Deals are not a normal thing in Anti Doping cases, McDevitts statement the other day sounded like argue it at the tribunal

 

[Randomizor]

Should the ALFPA be advising the players if they can't even understand the process?

 

[Tiger2709]

Funny how ASADA picks and chooses when to follow the AFL's timeline.

Or I suppose it was pure coincidence that they waited until right after Trade Week before reissuing the notices.

They waited until your club lost its case against them and then had permission from the courts to reissue the SCN's owing to Jimmy's case, that was what delayed any earlier reissuing of notices not trade week

You Bomber supporters do have some out there theories.

 

[HoopsAhoy]

My take on the players taking this on is that they have been advised on what they could be up for (not good). And so they have no choice.

And it will serve them right.

Lol Chip. The bloke who reported ASADA's case before Middleton was about to collapse while he was in the process of drawing up his summation.

 

[vjknight]

dont think for a moment the players have thought any of this thru. that much is obvious.

If only BM had said: "ASADA acknowledges and agrees with the request of players counsel to expedite the remaining process" Get on with it

The ASADA statement is the product of a man losing his cool and reason.

Cop style requires a bad cop and a good cop. Today needed a good cop statement.
