They do deserve it, mainly due to last year. They were pretty terrible with a full list anyway, so it's not like they have gone from top 4 to last and their poor performance is purely related to the systematic doping sanctions, as evidenced last year.
Name the other clubs Robbo you flog.
You have no reputation left to lose anyway, after your cheer leading disgrace with convicted systematic dopers Essendon.
There might be one or two players who didn't take that substance, but they were doing numerous other dodgy things too, so I am comfortably satisfied with the punishments these cheats got.
It just shows what a waste of time it was at the 'AFL tribunal'. Biased to the extreme. Of course the CAS viewed it differently, and correctly, judging from the evidence.
The original not guilty result is what they (AFL heads) wanted, because punishing 34 drug cheats at once is too problematic...
Robbo already had no rep. His explanation for #standbyalbert on 360 was pathetic
Caroline Wilson was very good, but have never been a fan of her when she calls for players/coaches heads, she does it too often for it to be consistently accurate. Never disliked her apart from that but in general...
If it wasn't the whole club, it was the vast majority of the club, that were prepared to cheat and compromise the integrity of the game.
That really isn't any better.
Could still have been on a less risker program all round, due to their ACL's. Maybe the doping and on track training programs were linked to that extent.
Or maybe they had ethics and said no to the questionable injections/doping?
They got it wrong, because the correct result (the CAS one) was too inconvenient. Punishing drug cheats correctly in a mass situation like this is 'too hard and costly' for the unethical AFL admins.
Money > promoting a clean competition. (AFL logic)
They are nothing more than frauds, cheats, liars and scum. All 34. Lied repeatedly, as per the CAS report.
No better than the Lance Armstrongs/Ullrichs or any other cheating athletes who lied after they were caught.
Was the AFL 'devastated' for Ahmed Saad? or Thomas and Keeffe?
If anything the Collingwood pair are more innocent, it wasn't a direct and systematic performance enhancing attempt.
The AFL/media are filthy hypocrites, money over integrity.
Why on earth should they get compensation for cheating and doping systematically, and being a fraud in Watson's (illegitimate brownlow) case?
They are professional athletes ffs, they are responsible for any substance found in their body. Serve your punishment you cheating twats.
If they were...
How is it a 'devastating decision' McLachlan?
Punishing systematic doping is devastating according to the AFL boss. wow.
The AFL heads, the AFLPA, fellow players like Kane Cornes and his moronic tweet are all absolutely delusional.
Justice.
On reading the report it is obvious that most of the players were not totally honest during this process. Or they were just extremely ignorant which isn't good enough for professional athletes. Not declaring 'thymosin' and lying about Dank at games until confronted with evidence for...
