After nearly all of the "facts" this tool has posted, and with the gleeful disgust as described by another, you think he'd pull his head in. Just in case his last one breaks from over use:
STFU dude. Still busy targeting people.
What sort of utter garbage you've been posting for a while now. Couldn't handle people targeting your club and you come out swinging which is fine, now that it's blown up across all code's faces you better stop all name calling and crawl back into your hole.

Again, you were saying storm in tea cup, protien shake and all bat shit.
Guess what, you were WRONG. Now take a hike.

I cannot see how an AFL game could be fixed.

In Soccer where the scores are normally 1-1 or thereabouts. Its easy to pay the goalie to make one error - match fixed. Or to pay the ref who awards a dodgy penalty which decides the game.

AFL games are generally never close enough for some single individual to affect the outcome. Fixers would have to get to 5 to 10 players in the team.

Soccer or cricket would be the main targets for match fixing. My bet is soccer where you have a lot of guys earning not a great deal of money who could be quite tempted.

Mark McVeigh looks like a fool now. Hope he makes another appearance on SEN today.
bullshit.

Essendon announced the investigation to try and see if they are clean. This does not mean Essendon are necessarily ******.

We will see how the investigation pans out.

Demetriou treaded VERY carefully there on the Essendon question when asked whether it came to light because the AFL was investigating them. A couple of decided pauses there. Warranted, but in those silences holds chapters of information he's keeping tight lipped on.

Can't wait for the next chapter. It's moving faster than The Hobbit!
Answer the question Homer Simpson, your silence means everything.

No Homer don't

Nooooooooooooooooooooo

If this is big as suggested, whole teams are in on it.

They mentioned the "Anti-Ageing" clinic........... Dank seems to be a key player in all this.



Essendon are so f*cked.

But so are quite a few other players.....

By the way Vlad sounded, there's quite a few players that have been done for PED.

He said he though our testing was pretty comprehensive, and he was "shocked" by the number of players the crime commision uncovered.

yep. That's how I read the worst case scenario too.
I would have thought that it would have been the best case Scenario, if ASADA rules are kept and i see no reason for them to waiver, regardles of it the players would go as well. Your Best Scenario is what you have written.

I think this is fantastic. Fully investigate the lot and get rid of the scum from our sports. I've always been for life bans for any player knowingly taking performance enhancing drugs, so let's get into them now. If it's one of my clubs (Swans or Manly, and the 2nd is seeming more likely than the 1st, due to their connection with a certain "scientist"), so be it.

Mark McVeigh spoke loudly and said Hirdy was a great bloke.

ACC will be fine with that, and move on to the Balwyn Tigers Reserves:rolleyes:

Amazing to think that Robson could have been there as NRL CEO. A position that would have meant he would have had to step down anyway.
