Let's just say Gordon is a mouthpiece for the AFL and the Tribunal's decision is players not guilty (of course that could be a false assumption on my part); but in the event of a not guilty decision THE VERY IDEA THAT YOU THINK YOU "KNOW" THEY ARE GUILTY WHEN A 2 YEAR ASADA INVESTIGATION AND A...

A mouthpiece of the AFL has just started to condition you as to the known verdict. Deny it if you want. We did too, when it came to the severity of the """""governance""""" sanctions.

The saga has been the most stressful event of our lives. The last thing we should be doing is telling members of our Essendon family that they can not come on line to talk to other supporters and express their views concerning our club; whether or not we agree with them or whether they slip up...

I contend the following could be true – 1. Clothier of the AFL possessed a database containing data collected by both ASADA and the AFL during the joint investigation. The AFL intentionally leaked components of this data to manage public opinion. 2. Very little information became publically...

Fair point mxett, I should've said TB4 suppresses inflammation which is why it's useful in tissue repair. There are many peer reviewed articles linking thymosin alpha to immune system enhancement.

Hardie has said on numerous occasions that we did not take TB4 and that we only took thymomodulin. Don't ask me to google it for you. If you followed his media you would be aware of this. TB4 suppresses the immune system. Dank was talking about boosting the immune system in the Age interview...

I can tell you for a fact that the poster on bomberblitz who posted that the ADRVP are currently reviewing ASADA's evidence got this information straight from the newspaper a day or 2 ago - it won't be hard to google it - so of course it could be wrong, but it was reported. That poster just...

The idea that Hird's appeal is trying to suppress truthful player testimony, I think, fails to recognise the complexity of the law. The discovery process uncovered a lot of AFL manipulation and prejudging guilt, possible government interference and breach of confidentiality. This renders the...

"credibility" = sack the footy department (incl head coach) if INs issued "the buck has to stop somewhere" 'healing' requires new persons in the footy department; otherwise there will a perception of lack of accountability the captain has to go down with the ship the minister has to resign here...

:drunk: Sorry - I have L plates here - tried to quote Rines' post where he/she said all coaches must go if players get suspended. The problem with this absolutist logic which much of the media are also running with is that it assumes application of the WADA code will be just and fair and would...

Most of you still don't seem to understand the strength of our club, its players and supporters. Not one player has taken a shot at the club over the past 2 years. Like the supporters buying record levels of memberships they are loyal. Our players have held together and endured more than any...

ASADA's position is becoming clearer. Minister Dutton tells ASADA to present their evidence or wind down the investigation and appoints Downes to ensure it happens. Downes advises ASADA to get more information re TB4. McDevitt issues SCs, refuses to release the evidence to enable players to...

Anybody know the answers to these 3 questions - 1. Did Doc Reid sign off the player consent forms? Chip seems to suggest not but I thought Jobe in 'the interview' said Reid had signed off. 2. After the consent forms were drawn up (& before) Dank must have ordered more thymosin...

After 16 months of an enormously labour intensive investigation, ASADA have established that possibly, maybe there is a case that Dank mixed up alpha and beta. 16 months of leaks, character assassinations of some of the AFL’s great players and a legendary doctor and coach, after 16 months of...

agree from what is publically available, the circumstantial case looks weak. it's also clear that we will challenge the legality and efficiency of the ASADA/AFL process. but is there a legal option to ask a court to look at the evidence which has been used by ASADA to issue show causes (or if it...
