I wonder how Goddard feels right now, imagine if the Bombers get de-registered for 2 years and BJ misses out on footy for 2 years even though he wasn't at the club when this all took place .... he must regret walking into a club that possibly (I say possibly as they haven't been dound guilty yet) consists of a bunch of cheats who know they are in the wrong.

Essendon are under siege as they reel from potentially the biggest crisis in AFL history.
Security guards kept fans and media out of the Bombers' new Tullamarine facility as the players trained on Wednesday morning, less than a day after the club became the subject of an anti-doping investigation.

The Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) is joining with the AFL integrity unit to look into supplements that were given to Essendon players last year as part of their fitness regime.If the investigation shows that players were given banned substances, the ramifications are massive.

"The jury is out on this at the moment," former ASADA chairman Richard Ings told FoxSports."But if this substance does come back and it turned out to be a prohibited substance, (then) it's a house of cards.
"This could be very serious for the players involved and extremely serious for the club."

Funniest thing is he left St Kilda to get away from the culture and controversy.
 
You'd just hate being an Essendon supporter right now.
This right now, could be the BIGGEST story ever in AFL history.

The more that we keep hearing about this, the more trouble you'd think they are going to be in.


It is the biggest story in VFL/AFL history so far.

WADA/ASADA will show no mercy !!!

At the end of the day, the only way out of this for Essendon is that there were no banned substances in the "suppliments" they were taking.
Given that there was organised crime involved, waivers signed & the injections took place away from Windy Hill, this is looking less and less likely.

It's a case of "watch this space" as I feel that more & more will come out.
 
Am I really seeing a banner ad at the bottom of this page that reads Wicked Supplements - Specialised pct Supplements? In predominantly red and black colours? Did I just see that?

I believe BF uses referred advertising. .. ie. when you visit a website a cookie saves the type of site and the advert refer to these cookies to display ads that might be of interest. .. You've probably been googling some of the terms in this page or something ;)

Are we just assuming that there is an organised crime link because the Herald Sun alleges it, or has something more concrete come out?

Josh Groban and I are off for a dirty vacation in Asia :eek:

I'm just hoping nothing like this is going on at Carlton (or any other club for that matter).

Any inside info on the concerns the Navy Blues might have?

Spot on Aph.
Might have a look over at the Essendon board tonight - will be very interesting how those flogs are going to try and defend this....

I know a few Bombers fans. Their stance right now innocent until proven guilty, but if guilty, they are done with the club. And these aren't your fair weather "gee, how'd the bombers go on the weekend, I do hope we won" kind of fans - We're talking life long members here.

If i know a few feeling like that here in bAdelaide, how many are feeling the same over there??

There's currently a thread where they are all reassuring each other that nothings wrong and they will fire a scapegoat and that will be it. laughable really

With ASANA involved the "Hidden E" AFL brass haven't got the ability to sweep this one under the carpet as they've done time and time again.

The Scum will have to pay.
