He legitimately said "Dank actually admitted to Thymosin beta 4 (in the Nick Mckenzie interview)"

He also seemed legitimately upset that the reputation of ASADA took such a battering and that it was not fair. A thousand lols

Any time it seems like he's making sense, remember these ******* weird things he says.

My favourite is still from the early interviews when SCs came out and he says "I want to investigate what Ziggy was talking about when he described a pharmacological experiment - what was the experiment?"
That's right. Ziggy ******* Switkowski who did not investigate doping at the club - the chief of ASADA wanted to know, after ASADA's 18 month investigation into doping, what Ziggy was talking about are you legitimately ******* shitting me m8

Is anyone listening to sen with KB and Brian Waldren ?, Waldren saying that he was happy when we got run over by swans.... because it was good for football with what had gone on previously. Please... Waldron who will go down in history as the Storm ceo who lost them a premiership due to systematic salary cap rorting and has been in exile for the last 3 years. What a HYPOCRITE !!
Waldon has proven himself to be scum of the lowest order. His opinion shouldn't be sought. Let alone taken seriously. Irreparably damaged goods is Brian Waldron, and nobody knows it better than he does.

He did, as well as the obligatory "wont someone think of the children" crap. It was a wank fest of vomit inducing proportions.
Not often there's been balance in this thing. A wank fest with the McDipshit interview, and a wank fest with the Dank interview. Nothing new came out of either.

I was listening, he was a total flog. You would think he's the last person who should pass moral judgement on another sporting organisation. Seemed to have about the same grasp of the facts as Rebecca Wilson.

Just watched the whole interview. Thought Dank spoke well but didn't exactly offer anything hugely substantial. It essentially just reaffirms that the AFL were extremely negligent themselves by not following their own advice and regulations.

I don't exactly think highly of the guy, but Dank has played this very well. I think the manner in which he's approached all of this nonsense, and the patience that he's displayed whilst being publicly whacked from every angle, will ultimately see him be vindicated/rewarded.

You may well be right.

I like that it was bought up again in the interview how conniving and downright bloody dishonest Gil McLachlan was in asking Andruska to omit stuff from the interim report so as it read the way he wanted it to read.

From memory Alan Jones asked McLachlan about that too, and if memory serves correct Gil just squirmed and deflected. Anything but give a straight answer.

Not forgotten Gil. Never will be ****ing forgotten!

Life has been much sweeter over the last couple of weeks by listening to very little media regarding asaga - dank & mcd are strangely becoming 2 peas in a pod by both being as boring & irrelevant as each other
They should have to fight publicly as an official end to the saga.

Dank is now saying we destroyed the records on caro paper, even though pretty much anyone who can use a computer knows that deleted files on are computer are never actually deleted.
No, they are not deleted, the pointers are, but they can/will likely be over-written at some stage if the computer is used and thus can be permanently removed.

And do you really think ASADA would be smart enough to get an IT expert in to retrieve lost info?

Smart? ASADA? Not based on how they've handled this thing so far.

The best thing that Abbott being in power (never thought I woudl ever say that), is that he is an Alan Jones fan and Alan now has ASADA and the AFL in his crosshairs. So hopefully momentum is kept and the push for a inquiry is sustained.

Yep this.

An analogy to use is to imagine a notebook.

Each page at the top might have a sticker saying that page is in use.

When you delete a page, you remove the sticker (but the content remains on the page).

When you go to write a new page, you start flicking through pages until you find one without a sticker and start writing.

That means you can have some pages that are used (with sticker), some that have no sticker and have the remaining contents completely there and some that have part new contents and part old contents as you haven't written a full page to it yet.

I recently had to recover a few files deleted in error & was very surprised at the amount of data still on my drives. & that was using some freeware program so I can only imagine what someone who knows what they are doing with decent software could achieve.

So I guess what Dank & McD are really suggesting is that the club engaged an IT pro to ensure all evidence of computer files were thoroughly removed while other club officials were busy with a paper shredder. Sounds legit.

I'd like to see the record keeping of all of the other clubs put under the same scrutiny, or the AFL for that matter. Really, after all this time, all they've got is that we didn't keep our records properly. That's what the greatest scandal in the history of everything has boiled down to. F*** me.
Was a joke the moment they said 'Blackest Day in Australian Sport' has been nothing but a waste of tax payers money and tarnishing the reputations of Athletes and their club.

The more you use the computer and the fuller the drive increases the chances of it being overwritten.

There are too many variables to guess what happened in EFC situation.

ASADA's IT expert something like this:
