Think the prosecutor's answer to this is it is before the tribunal and is a recent confession.
If any of the players are aware of go blues posting, I am pretty sure they would be wryly amused.
what is before the tribunal exactly?

I assume the alleged player would have known this since taking it? Or he only started 'remembering' 5 minutes ago?

It had been mention before...but I wonder if a journo out there is collaborating a book/s about the whole case?
Does anyone know if something is in the pipelines?
There would be a number of books at various stages of compilation out there as we speak. Pretty sure I read Martin Hardie has one on the go and there would be plenty of others, bet your life on that.

More likely, any supposed admission of using TB4 is a player who does not know what thymosin he was given and is accepting pleading guilty simply because he thinks it provides path of least resistance.

It would not be a birdy singing about a secret coverup of TB4 usage.

wouldnt be the first time someone has sung when crunch time arrived.
While I agree, that in recent weeks the AFL has still tried to negotiate deals with players that have been rejected, is strange is one has made a deal.

Not saying they haven't and it is a concern, just leaves me curious.

We've heard 100s, perhaps 1000s of rumours since this saga began and how many have amounted to absolutely nothing so far? Probably 100's, perhaps 1000's?

Before this thing is over we'll hear a whole lot more rumours too.

The bottom line is don't lose sleep over anything until it has been substantiated.

Exactly.

I will say, if it was true I do find it odd that it hasn't been reported on elsewhere by now.

If there really was anything to it, it would be out by now. There's no way that every media outlet would just sit on it. So if the extract was legit then perhaps it has been interpreted incorrectly.

Alright peoples, hows about we take a Xanax or twelve and actually try and think this through;

- The players completed their interviews with ASADA in May, 2013.
- In September of 2014 (a year and a half later FFS), the AFLPA has stated that NO EFC PLAYER (past or present was looking to 'do a deal')

So if the moronic shit I saw posted was correct, one of the following two scenarios is accurate:

1) A player admitted use of TB4 during the player interviews, but despite the massive amount of information available on TB4 ever since, right up until September of 2014 had decided to do no deal, knowing he had already admitted guilt.
2) A player went BACK to ASADA after a period not less than 18 months, and said, 'yeah, um hey, I did take TB4, even though no deal will be done now and I am going to protest my innocence regardless in front of the tribunal anyway'......

For the love of god people.....

Throughout this ordeal no news is generally good news as far as EFC is concerned. Generally when there has been any whisper of any negative aspect it would be splashed left right and centre across main stream media.

Mr Ryder. ASADA is here to look after your best interests. Peptides may have health implications, potential cancer and newborn issues.

Players interviewed prior to you have told us that they had AOD9604 and thymosin. Did you have the same..

"Names sound familiar."

So you had Thymosin TB4. We need to know this because it could affect the health of your newborn child.

I am not sure, thymosin sounds familiar.

If you want us to help you, we need a Yes or No answer.

Did you take Thymosin Beta 4?

"Yes".

"What do I need to do to get more info on the health aspects?"

Great, thank you Mr Ryder.

Or something to this affect. Bottom line is that the players may be 100% innocent but still charged.

go blues or opposition poster/s in general.
Anyone seeking some lightweight comedy relief in lieu of the tribunal decision being handed down need look no further than some other threads at this very forum. There you find with little effort required on your part the AA to ZZ of unsubstantiated rumours :rolleyes:

The dot joiners were the prosecutor and possibly table tennis. Go through their post over the last week in this thread.

I really can't answer. I haven't seen the document or copy of it. Those that have say it looks genuine. That as it maybe, making the situation add up leaves a howl of nonsense in your head when you are an Essendon supporter. You have seen the solidarity of the group. It would be all singing or none singing.
