Montreal The World Anti-Doping Agency has highlighted the watershed BALCO case, which condemned international stars such as Marion Jones without any positive tests, as a relevant precedent for prosecuting Essendon footballers.

And this looks like bad news for the Essendon payers involved in Dank's supplement program, including Stewart Crameri.
WADA is questioning the standard of proof applied by the AFL to the Essendon case.
"Quite simply, if the BALCO cases had been decided under the principles followed by the AFL tribunal, none of the BALCO people would have been sanctioned," according to the head of WADA.
As with WADA's findings against Russian athletics, this is what happens when a dispassionate body gets involved.

Nah it's fine he's not been at Slater & Gordon for years. He got his own firm Gordon Legal.
The Gordon in Slater & Gordon has nothing to do with him.

It more troubling as they are one of or sponsors!

Some classics there, Fossie. I see Liam Jones, Gia, Mark Austin, Gryan Riffen and a dreadlocked Dahl. Ah, memories

Was reading about the 1989 proposed merger today and learnt a whole lot of stuff that i didn't know. Does the dogs board have a thread where recollections are posted, i found the Fitzroy one but couldn't find any from your board.

sorry buddy, no idea. It's hard to believe you guys were on the chopping block at one stage. Maybe we should start a 'piss off GWS bring back Fitzroy' thread

That was a surreal moment - after all the excitement about drafting him, first touch in AFL and kicks a magical goal

It has to be a typo? Surely it has to be our preseason guernsey

 

[the bee sharps]

New jumper is bloody awful

 

[GetDimmaBack]

New jumper is bloody awful

Better than the red one...

 

[razrblayd]

Better than the red one...

haha, I love it how everyone is convinced that the red one made us play like Melbourne.

 

[SonOfScray]

That jumper is a ******* disgrace. I am fuming.

 

[Struggle]

That's horrible. I didn't mind the red one but anything would be an improvement on this thing. Hopefully we don't clash with anyone on away games this year

Unfortunately not; confirmed as our only clash guernsey for 2016.
http://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/2015-11-30/new-clash-guernsey-no-red-in-2016

Really don't like it. I hope this isn't the beginning of a push towards new home guernseys. Our set was near perfect as it was.

 

[SonOfScray]

I am really angry about that jumper. Not just a negative reaction to it because it is new but because someone has been paid to make that decision and it is simply put, a s**t one.

A few comments: the fans resoundingly ditched any cartoon logo and mandated a return to hoops as our jumper. I think most would prefer this extend to clash jumpers, it was clearly a desire for a more simple, traditional look. The club have gone against the wishes of the members.

We have a perfect set of jumpers for clash / away scenarios that are basic, effective variants of our actual jumper already. A more logical, classy set than anyone else in the league and we've pissed it away for that heap of s**t.

Blue strip - home games White - MFC, FrFC, EFC, AFC, BLFC away Red - WCE, GFC, CFC, NMFC and CFC away

The jumper is important to me, I am bitterly disappointed.

 

[maddog37]

Kids will love it.

 

[razrblayd]

I'm more disappointed in having to pay the same amount in a medium as someone else in a 7xl. Geez, that's a lot of material
