Not my vid, reposted from another thread.

Rightio. I'm out.

Unless they are breeding and worrying about their kids being born with gills (or worse).

I'd find something else to do for 3 hours on the w/e. Maybe take the kids mushrooming/fishing/hiking.

scroll down under the video and click the transcript button.

If Gumby gets suspended, we'll have to fall back on our kids to support Pav. Taberner and Apeness look a couple of likely lads. I think the likelihood of infractions is why we bought him over on the bare minimum wage for an AFL footballer. The Doggies might be in a bit more strife as they gave...

Yeah, the players should launch a class action lawsuit against the club.

ASADA denies that they okayed it, and Essendon have no proof of it. So you can strike a line through b) I can name at least one player who has stated on national television that he believed he'd taken AOD9604. I think most players signed consent forms for the main drugs in question (AOD9604...

what they may end up saying is "oh god please no","ow" and "ouch"

This. This. And again, this. The failure to produce accurate records is in itself a failure to adhere to the AFL's anti-doping code.

I think clubs will move away from having past players as senior coaches. They are too hard to get rid of when they need to go. Brissy is facing a backlash from it's fans for firing Voss, Essendon are quite prepared to stick with Hird till the bitter end. When Collingwood started the season less...

Also, why they were injecting it on a schedule designed for Tb4?

I misread that originally, taking the first sentence and extrapolating over the rest of the rule. They should absolutely be charged over the poor record keeping by this rule, and they still may. 7.4 Before the commencement of the AFL Competition in each year each Player must advise his Club...

7.4 isn't really relevant, as the Essendon players weren't being doped in their off-season. I don't know if 3.3 pertains either, as section 11 specifys that's about the players only.

section 11 is pertaining to anti-doping violations (not listed above), so this doesn't allow the AFL to sanction anyone outside the playing group for these violations.

Yeah, Jobe may be penalised for his honesty, but to me it looks like the players are victims in this.

No, it hasn't been shown that Essendon did not cheat, just that there is no provision under the AFL's charter to pursue the administration for anti doping violations. The only avenue open to the AFL to pursue the club is by the charge of bringing the game into disrepute.

I interpreted the charges a little differently to most. The fact that the players weren't charged looks more like the product of Essendons shonky bookkeeping. ASADA's interim report states that players were routinely injected with AOD9604, and Thymosin Beta 4 (both banned). It also states that...

It's not just one interview, there was also an interview with Riemers, who said pretty much exactly what Robinson said. So far the public has seen two people telling their sides of this story, and the tune they're singing is a bit different to the club.

That's not a grammar problem, you just can't spell. Woosha is the coach of a team, he can't be accountable for the drugs that one of his players takes recreationally and takes every care to hide from the club. Quite a different issue to the repeated systematic injection of the majority of the...

I support Freo, not WC. BTW - the word is spelt "indiscretions". I admit that Woosha may have known about Ben's drug problems, but he could hardly have been expected to. Hird however should have been completely aware of a program of injections, especially when it's intent was to sail as close to...

I'm not usually one to go in and bat for WC, but this is tripe. Woosha may have had a junkie on his team, and it is possible that he knew about Cuz's issues... but he certainly wasn't head coach of a team who were injecting various substances of questionable effect and safety into the majority...

Settle down. Essendon aren't through this yet.

Its not just AOD 9604, there were 11 players named in the interim report who were given Thymosin Beta 4 (a completely banned muscle growth boosting drug). They are as dirty as hell. How's this for disrepute - if Essendon come through this with both their points and playing list intact, I will...
