I dont think they will get off. As far as circumstantional cases go, this one is one of the strongest I have seen.

Unless they can cast enough doubt on the 'smoking gun' that is. And from what I have been hearing, the first two days of submissions from their lawyers were pretty much soley focussed on getting key evidence excluded or diminished in reliability.

Rather than saying 'they didnt do it' theyve been focussing on 'the evidence relied on to prove it cant be trusted'.
If they have to adopt that form of defence, then they are pretty well screwed. If they can't beat the evidence in an open court... cooked bombers!

As for them coming out and saying that they are currently serving voluntary bans... I think that shit will be thrown out as fake.

Judge: When did your clients start their voluntary bans?
QC: About 24 hours after the club self reported!... but only during the offseason... after all the players had to try and win a flag for St Jimmy the Great

Allowed to train away from the club is my understanding.

Two blokes up in the NEAFL got exemptions and were allowed to play from memory.

Covers are off at the SCG.
They are all obviously training at the club which indicates the AFL have been soft as butter by allowing them to still train but also use the "provisionally suspended" time count against the length of suspension.

Weak as piss.

Awesome deterrent to systemic doping. :rolleyes:

Just seen a tweet on twitter - 'James Hird is honestly and dignity personified'

And here was i thinking the Cult of Hirdites were starting to see James Hird for what he truly is ..

Nope, they are a lost cause. And may God have mercy on their souls ..

Trouble with the twitter feed there, DVB.
