Isn't it interesting that anyone who claims Evans deserves this, or has had it coming, is painted as a demon (by Essendon fans) because of his "health concerns". Umm... hello??? How about the health concerns of your PLAYERS. The players that were unknowingly taking the advice of all these higher ups at your pathetic club, being injected with untried substances NOT EVEN APPROVED FOR HUMAN USE. These are the same players who train their guts out, week in, week out and put their bodies on the line every week for all you "fans" who sit there eating a meat pie and drinking a beer. But the fact that these players' livelihoods may have been threatened apparently pales in comparison to poor Jimmy Hird, the golden boy, and the need to #standby this narcissistic, lying **** of a human who used his influencing, role model, godlike figure over these young impressionable players. These poor poor "casualties" of this saga, men in suits with their little spin doctors trying avoid this shit storm that THEY created by ENDANGERING THE HEALTH of each and every player in this program.

I completely disagree
Hird has absolutely ZERO chance of escaping with his job. He is gone. Cooked. Done and dusted. Goneskis. Book it.

The sooner Essendon supporters embrace this reality the easier they'll be able to deal with the blow. Hird made very very bad choices and now he's going to pay for them.

Deal with it.

you should pop over to BB and say that... see how this flies.
 
You're not. But trolling on this forum is sign that not only do you not feel sorry- you WANT us to be in the shit no matter what

im not trolling - im reading opinions on a current hot topic

and to draw the conclusion that i WANT you to be in the shit is pretty deluded.

but it is looking more and more likely you deserve to be in the shit.
 
''It is also for slightly selfish but important reasons. I have significant responsibilities to the 100 people who work at my firm. They have stepped up to the plate admirably and very capably and the business is thriving but it is important that I return, and this means I cannot give to Essendon what it needs over the coming months.''
Facing imminent disaster, Christopher Skase spirited his assets away under the names of relatives...
 
Also so many were asking for his head ti roll, and now it has they cimplain about that too.
You blokes are laughable.

What the Essendon Football Club allowed to happen to those in it's care is disgraceful.If I was a parent i'd be seeking legal recourse.

It is....

....but David Evans deserves his own thread

But you are so awesome that your awesomeness oozes out of you and you have given so much to the football community that you are well within your right to keep punching.

I think some anonymous people rightly deserve their own thread because of the contribution to bigfooty is just so good, it really is amazing out of alll the members on bigfooty that they probably all could squeeze in to the MCG in one day o_O

So keep chins up :thumbsu:

Regards MM.

A reasonable person would consider these fair. Unfortunately this is not the way ASADA and WADA operate( think the tax office even if you had an accountant do your tax yet its still you who gets the penalty notice). ASADA wont fine anyone( i'm assuming the afl will do this). The way I read into what has gone on and what would have the dons confident that they will be cleared, is that it appears as though they asked ASADA about the S2 category regarding AOD. They were told its not a S2 drug however they have stated that they never stated its 'ok' to use either and maybe the dons(or dank) took the inference that its also not a S0 drug either. WADA have stated again that AOD has been banned from Jan 11 and I would expect that any non infraction notice by them will be immediately appealed by WADA as they simply don't care if rogue or otherwise elements have occurred. So on your eg I disagree with the non infraction section however unfortunate or unfair the situation.

There it seems as plenty of mitigating circumstances but infraction notices will still apply and these maybe reduced because of these circumstances but they wont be wiped.

My personal trainer who was heavily involved with Australian athletics for 25+ years and have dealt with ASADA regularly during that time says the same thing "WADA as they simply don't care if rogue or otherwise elements have occurred." That may be true but this whole saga is clearly not black and white. My whole taking/understanding of the AOD scenario is similar to yours and since the WADA rules are black and white and the drug classification of AOD was banned in 2011 this whole shitfest wouldn't have taken so long. There were months of misunderstanding and reports weather AOD fits in a certain category, my opinion is I do believe ASADA gave wrong information due to it being not black and white about AOD/code otherwise so much time wouldn't have been wasted on that one issue.

Since ASADA stuffed up although WADA apparently says that doesn't matter you can't take their word as gospel is a total farce and will not hold up if taken to court but the problem is what I understand that the players would still be "banned" and you have to go to court to unbanned them which who knows how long that would take??? My personal trainer also mentioned last week during a heated verbal disagreement with me :D is that he thinks/believes AOD will only carry a 3 month sanction (I don't know, that's what he believes)

ASADA/WADA are just to proud to admit they have giving out incorrect advice which is stupid as people do make mistakes, an if they still want their pound of flesh AFL offer them the 2013 points. That's why I mentioned as a penalty 2013 points stripped, in my view I see that as the same as banning for 1 year, as it renders that whole year as useless but upholds competiveness of the competition rather than a complete farce. It penalise a whole list of 44 athletes instead of 2 or 3 that then made to feel like outcasts

When your an athlete involved with hurdles it is a solo sport and you choose the dietitian/scientist/trainer YOU want, a team just doesn't have that luxury and a player has to accept who the club employees, you as the player are now stripped of that responsibility and has no control of it. If WADA wasn't happy with that penalty regarding that ASADA stuffed up and AOD clarification has been murky at best I would walk away from them if I was the AFL and publish the full story for the world to see as the majority people would believe it to be a fair deal and it would show how much of a farce that governing body is that your tax money goes toward.

ok, what about AOD 123456... (wat eva the **** it is) that has been admitted was used by your club. It has been on the banned list since the club started using it. Now we have a club in the hunt for a flag after using a banned substance (even if it was on dodgy advice from ASADA). For the integrity of the comp Essendon should still loose all points this yr.

Depends if WADA played hardball and trumps ASADA verdict, I would like to know exactly what the sanction would be involving AOD as I don't know if my PT is correct or not.
 
you were with him on friday night? You know where he is?

Oh that makes it all fine then carry on

I wasn't. You weren't.

All we can know is what Evans wrote on Saturday... None of which mentioned a health problem.

So either he's lying again or, finally, telling the truth.
