Can anyone confirm for me that Andruska said, Asada had been looking at several clubs but agreed to only focus on essendon when AFL offered full support/resources? It's very important that we distinguish this as being either a fact or opinion (even if the latter may indeed be valid).
Closest thing to a confirmation we've got is Andruska admitting that the AFL were sending samples overseas in 2011 with no mention of Essendon (despite how the media have read it).

Neil Young, QC: Good Lord, what is happening up here?
Witness: Aurora Andruska?
NYQC:: Aurora Andruska? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within this courtroom?
Witness: Yes.
NYQC: May I question it?
Witness: I can't recall.

Yeah, not my best work.
Pay it

rines if Justice rules in our favour, does ASADA automatically cover EFC and Hirds costs?
No. We could ask for costs, but unlikely to be given imho.

Also.. I think that everyone needs to realise what a monumental task it would be to 'win' this case. Right now, I think we are scoring the points we wanted to score, but I am not confident that we will win.

I think best case scenario would be getting the player interviews 'thrown out'... ASADA can continue with investigation/SCN's but they can't use any evidence from the interviews.

What we have gained from this process irrespective of outcome:
Clear indication of what 'evidence' ASADA have
Discredited AFL agenda
Clearly painted a picture of a 'tarnished' investigation process
Painted ASADA into a corner regarding scope of statements

My personal opinion is that ASADA acted unlawfully but very hard to prove and very hard to convince a Judge to grant relief in this circumstance.

No, what McLachlan and his team appear guilty of is being determined to run the AFL competition unencumbered. Not simply driven by commercial concerns but sporting concerns
**** you Caroline Wilson, you trash writing puppet.

But, in the end, neither Hird nor Little have exposed anything corrupt nor unlawful in what the AFL did.

Somehow the prospect of McLachlan having his say on the dangerous Essendon drugs program, its investigation and its fall-out, seems significantly more compelling than anything else Hird has to offer.
I just threw up a little bit. Deciding penalties, creating a narrative to suit and then pretending to have a fair hearing isn't at all corrupt Caro. All 100% above board here, that's how these things should work.

Surely this proves that Caro has been McLachlan's mouth piece all along, or McLachlan her 'source' I guess.

If McLachlan is forced to resign then Caro won't have a source in the AFL anymore. I imagine keeping him in his job is now paramount for Caro to keep her job too.

Edit. Just re-read some bits, still makes me sick. Can you get any more "party line" then "nothing corrupt or unlawful here guys, move along proles, move along."

Andreuska made Ings relevant when she said ASADA had previously conducted joint investigations. Prior to Andreuska Ings was the only previous ASADA CEO and he strongly refutes her claims that he ever authorised a joint investigation.
ASDA (Australian Sports Drug Agency) predate ASADA by 15 years or so. I imagine that is what she was referring to. Of course ASADA was set up under a separate act of parliament so her argument may not be entirely sound but certainly the establishment of ASADA was intended to increase investigative power and therefore it is probably relevant.

I was about 10-15 years younger than that guy and I was in Stawell at the time, but apart from that, possibly so!

In all seriousness, I bet we all look alike to you.
