Is that why they waited 5 months to initiate a consent form for supplements used? Because they've been protecting the players all along?
Did they take their doubts to ASADA?The consent forms were put in place because the players had doubts and wanted reassurance from the club that what they were taking was legal and safe.

But it's ok for the players to be dragged through the mud for 2 years.
It seems they did. After all, if you have concerns enough to have a consent form created because you have doubts about what you are been injected with as an athlete, then you have potential wada issues too.Didn't need to.

That's not the way consent forms work. You sign them prior to any treatment.The consent forms were put in place because the players had doubts and wanted reassurance from the club that what they were taking was legal and safe.
Didn't need to.
Deflection is never a productive defence.But it's ok for the players to be dragged through the mud for 2 years.
Eddie MacGuireWho actually says guilty or not guilty?
He'd have them not guiltyEddie MacGuire
Didn't need to.
Hope not. If it's him, he'll find Essendon guilty and the punishment will be Sydney banned for 2 years. And Beams back to Collingwood.Eddie MacGuire
That ban was more Fitzpatrick than anyone else.Hope not. If it's him, he'll find Essendon guilty and the punishment will be Sydney banned for 2 years. And Beams back to Collingwood.
Who actually says guilty or not guilty?
After having the injections for 5 months. It suddenly occurred to them after all that time they better check if what they had done all that time was OK.The consent forms were put in place because the players had doubts and wanted reassurance from the club that what they were taking was legal and safe.
Why?Didn't need to.

You can't rush these thingsAfter having the injections for 5 months. Took them all that time.

As Demetriou likes to say, the AFL and ASADA never injected anyone.But it's ok for the players to be dragged through the mud for 2 years.
Ok is it like this? Asada says there is a case to answer and then it goes to a group of people and they decide if guilty or not and then it goes to the AFL for sentencing or does the AFL do the guilty not guilty aswell?
It was poetryAs Demetriou likes to say, the AFL and ASADA never injected anyone.
Reasonably significant misstep from AFLPA/EFC lawyers here. All the momentum from the '34 players standing firm' headline vaporised by pushing the wrong body to expedite!
McDevitt gets to explain ASADA have no remit to do that, and at the same time deliver some beautifully aimed whacks.
