Exactly my position.
It's hard to accept player bans on insufficient evidence, but if Dank goes then it is clear that there is evidence that the drugs were there and used, just no clarity on who. That in itself is a disgrace and no * supporter should be happy with such an outcome. Sure, it will be glossed over by the supporters, the club, the AFL and the media, but it will never go away.
Yeah, my position too.
I see some parallels with the GoDees non-tanking case. The AFL's self-interested cynicism was at the fore there - a large fine and suspensions for ummm, well it wasn't for tanking. OK, so let's stop looking at that.
A few GoDees supporters gloated about it and acted like dicks, but frankly those few are like that anyway. Most of them had the good sense to shut up while they were ahead, knowing they got a tainted verdict in their favour. And now it's clear that tanking was its own punishment. What they implemented in those days has engendered such a loser culture that they're still far away from competitive all these years later.
Yeah, quite a few parallels really.
