Wonder if Chip is enjoying his viewing of today's proceedings !
What continually makes me laugh is the fact that Bruce Francis jumps on here, has researched everything impeccably, provided a VERY detailed chronologically ordered account of events, corroborated(my assumption), through multiple sources, yet this is STILL not enough to get the foamers to question what they've been told, let alone change their minds. They've simply got 'the vibe', yet cold hard facts, from the sources themselves, are immediately met with derision and countered with nothing more than an outsiders point of view, emotion and their opinions.
Kind of exactly what we've been accused of doing all this time.
Delicious, delicious irony.
The Australian Football League Anti-Doping Tribunal continued the hearing today relating to the cases of past and present Essendon Football Club players and a former employee of the Essendon Football Club who have been issued with Infraction Notices.
The Tribunal today heard an application by the legal representative of the Essendon Football Club for him to be present and represent the Essendon Football Club in the proceeding. He made submissions to the Tribunal in support of his application. Submissions were made by other parties. On considering the various submissions and having regard to the ruling of December 8 that the hearing be private, the application on behalf of the Essendon Football Club to be represented at the proceedings was denied.
Mr Holmes QC continued opening submissions on behalf of ASADA based on, among other things, various text messages, emails and transcripts produced as part of the investigation.
Mr Holmes QC continues to detail the evidence in the ASADA case against the 34 players and the support person.
They only want to be told what they want to hear. We all know that.
The outrage from them once the players get off will be glorious.

A VERDICT in James Hird's Federal Court appeal against ASADA could be handed down next week.
It is understood the three Federal Court judges presiding over the Hird appeal are keen to deliver their judgment before Christmas, having already granted an expedited hearing.
A decision in favour of Hird could stop ASADA's pursuit of 34 current and former Essendon players in its tracks.

The AFL anti-doping tribunal convened again on Thursday where Essendon's new in-house lawyer, Michael Abrahams, failed in an application “to be present and represent” the club during the three-week hearing.

CHIP LE GRAND THE AUSTRALIAN DECEMBER 19, 2014 12:00AM
A KEY figure in the AFL doping case has accused the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority of trying to “trap’’ him into supporting a central element of its case against 34 footballers — that he provided a banned Thymosin peptide to Essendon sports scientist Stephen Dank.
ASADA counsel Malcolm Holmes, in opening the case against Mr Dank and 34 current and former Essendon players, has told an AFL tribunal that pharmacist Nima Alavi told investigators he believed a Thymosin peptide he supplied to Dank in January 2012 was Thymosin Beta-4.
Mr Alavi yesterday told The Australian this was not true. “I felt as though they were trying to trap me into saying that it was Thymosin Beta-4, even though I made it very clear, repeatedly, that I didn’t know what it was,’’ he said.
The Australian has previously revealed Mr Alavi told ASADA he compounded a Thymosin peptide from materials procured by drug importer Shane Charter and supplied them in clear, unmarked vials to Mr Dank to have them tested at a Melbourne lab.
Mr Alavi last month baulked at signing a 30-page affidavit prepared by ASADA when he discovered it was littered with references to Thymosin Beta-4, as well as other errors.

Is tampering with evidence allowed?
There appears to have been great pressure excreted on ASADA to pursue Essendon even though they had very little evidence and under normal circumstances would have quit.
ASADA's desperate attempt since at assembling something that might even look like a case is becoming more and more obvious.
Is tampering with evidence allowed?
And another update:
Well that is interesting but hardly helpful if Alavi will not testify on behalf of the players?
'Excreted'. Such an appropriate term when referring to anything ASADA.
Bravo.
