Another senator (Bracks?) questions McDevitt.

Asks McDevitt to confirm that the club advised all players the substance was legal. Could not deny this.

Asks McDevitt to confirm that not all 34 players received the supplement. Astonishingly McDevitt confirms that this was his understanding.

I've never been invited to one of those murder mystery nights... but if I ever do I'll be quoting the strands theory etc etc, and saying everyone in the house is equally responsible and needs to be charged with murder... should make for quick game. ;)

Reading efcboy's posts of the senate estimates hearing last night, I was shocked to see Jon Perik's article in the Fairfax press today (http://www.canberratimes.com.au/afl...t-wrong-says-asada-chief-20160304-gnakb9.html). Looks like he was listening to a different Senate. No wonder the HTB goes off, being fed that high sugar, low fibre diet.

Well that's an extremely pro McDevitt piece of journalism there. Just shows unless you read the transcripts or watch that the media manipulate and favour certain elements ie cherry picking the hearing to suit their stance.

Listened to Xavier on SEN today a loved everything he said in regards to shutting down Dickhead Culbert.

It is time for us to look into the future and it is time to stand by our players. It's not about non Essendon people's opinions. It's about us being united now and into the future.

The moral from the Senate Committee is that if you lied about receiving injections or didn't attend an interview, you'll be right I have questioned what happened to the TWO missing players for over two years - So we are closer to finding the answer - So in effect if players refused/forgot to attend interviews all was OK - Strange indeed.

"Hey Hirdy would you like to comment for my article about the banned players?"
"No thanks Chip I think I'll live my life instead"

"no comment" doesn't get printed.

Oh, so the golden boy gets to go on living his life like nothing has happened. Meanwhile the players are suffering, the club is stuffed and supporters are at their wits end. can you believe the nerve of that arseh*le?

Considering Ben McDevitt two weeks into the job said "I would like to find out about the experiment that Ziggy Switkowski was talking about," considering there are a bunch of loons right now on twitter sending links to WADA and ASADA of the Australian article where Hird says players lied, considering Dank's interview with McKenzie was tabled as hard evidence and considering that the "thing in the newspaper" was a series of published text messages as opposed to hearsay, well yes.
Particularly after Ben McDevitt has puffed his chest out about protecting sport from cheats. If Dank works for another club and then the word Thymomodulin comes up in his discussion ... it's less that I WANT it investigated and more I'd like an explanation as to why it isn't

Correct.
There are only 2 possibilities here.
Either
1. CAS is wrong when it says that Dank would never use Thymomodulin on footballers, and every time he says "thymosin" it means "TB4", in which case a basic premise in its judgement finding the 34 guilty is wrong.
or
2. Melbourne players used TB4, and there is a damn site more hard evidence, in the form of texts from Dank to the MFC doctor, to prove this, than there was in the case of the 34.

Question that I would like to know the answer to here is - if McDevitt confirms his understanding the not all 34 players received the supplement as above - on what basis did he issue SCN's to those he understands did not receive the supplement. Surely those who he understands did not receive the supplement should have their SCN's withdrawn.

Of course if you understand but can't identify those who did not receive the supplement then I guess just give them all SCN's and hope they stick?

I guess CAS confirmed this is a good tactic.

Yeah they couldn't be sure which of the 34 received banned substances but believed some of them did so banned all of them...a more fitting penalty would have been a team penalty...say being ineligible for the 2013 season (finals)....

If he's banned from the TVS then it's fair enough he can't go watch his son play there.

I don't have a problem with that.

I agree with you, but it still seems harsh. :\
 
Since he has retired, what happens if he goes and watches anyway?

He can probably just stand on Melrose Drive and peer in through the fence. As long as he's not on-site...
 
In all seriousness, the fence is the boundary of the TVS and so I doubt he can be touched as long as he's outside it.

It's the Herald Sun sensationalising things for clicks. Nobody is surprised.
 
If you can find a guilty verdict from no evidence, confessions, positive tests or whistleblowers, then I'm not the idiot.

Understand this and understand it well: I don't buy the notion that I have to believe the players are guilty just because some corrupt dog in a courtroom said it.

I especially don't give an atom-sized shit what anyone infers about my intelligence from my support of EFC and the 34. We are Essendon, **** the rest. Why should any of us dilute our passion for the club, or shy away from saying what needs to be said, just to be good little obedient puppies for the media?
