21 days for the statement of appeal, Lodged.

10 days for the appeal brief, deadline 8am next Friday.
hang on, I think you're getting confused. They've already lodged the appeal brief. Did it day one. There's now 20 days for the defence to respond

The defence as in the players? What could they possibly say that would make this thing go away?

Or is it just the formality of the players acknowledging they are aware of what is to take place?

I must of missed that also, where did you find this out? I just thought they are appealing but have not yet come up with the brief??....

I hope it's like when women go shopping intending to buy everything in sight yet come back with nothing.....not all women though ;)

There's a certain irony in the fact that the pair who kick started this thing - Vlad and David Evans - are both long gone.
Not really, it was always going to be a "clean hands" exit from two experienced corporate businessmen. Even though it was played out in public.

Just saw the hird interview on 360 and it wasn't that bad. I think hird was a bit defensive and didn't grasp all of what whately said but I also thought whately misrepresented the tribunal finding at one point. After reading the HTB today I was expecting a dumb-arsed shifty liar and it certainly wasn't that - maybe a little naive at times.

I haven't seen it, but the first few pages was a massive circle jerk.

Not hard to see where you went wrong. James Hird could run into burning house to save a child and they would accuse him of starting the fire.

A bit off tap, but I'm intrigued by the possibilities of legal action by players and staff of EFC in the next 5 or so years.

Slanderous behaviour etc. at our club with accusations being flung around left, right and centre.

I'd be surprised if nothing eventually happens.

That will never happen (cease ASADA partnership) for reasons already discussed.
I wouldn't be so sure.

ASADA and WADA have shown themselves to be completely unable to handle a case like this.

Most importantly for the AFL they've lost a lot of control of this which is the thing they fear the most.

Going it alone re anti doping would be an easy sell to the public after this debacle.
