It is an interesting read this thread.

A number of well liked posts along the lines of 'Essendon should release a statement about Joe'

And a number of well liked posts along the lines of 'Can't believe a word Essendon says to us'.
I would think if Essendon released a statement declaring that JD did not receive any injections in 2011/12 and had not received an IN, then that would be accepted as truth.
 
The defence of “fair comment” applies to comment on matters of public interest. It is a somewhat misleading name, since the defence does not require that the comment be fair, in the sense of reasonable or just, merely that it be an opinion that an honest person, however prejudiced, could honestly hold. A person may publish any comment to the world at large, provided that:

  • the comment concerns a matter of public interest. This includes government, the administration of public services and institutions, and matters submitted to public criticism, such as books, plays, concerts or films;
  • the defamatory imputation would be understood by those to whom it is published as a comment, in the sense of being an expression of opinion, not a statement of fact. Any statement of fact must either be proved to be true or to have been protected by absolute or qualified privilege; and
  • the defamatory imputation conveyed by the comment is based upon facts either set out in the publication or sufficiently referred to, which are true.
Was tempted to post similar, but the thought of EFC luddites ranting about defamation like it was the magic wand to make the bad people go away was appetising.

so Essendon are just lying through their teeth when they confirm that he's available for selection?
To labour the point a little, the only two sources I have seen about this are you and John "hot scoops" Ralph addressing the question with weasel words.
 
I never said he didn't answer, I just said if he'd not been a part of it, and didn't know anything about it, there wouldn't be many questions needed because he'd have no answers. How many different ways can you say "I wasn't a part of it, I didn't see anything, I don't know"?

What was the relationship between Hird, Dank, Reid, Robinson etc?
Did you see anyone getting injected?
Did you hear anyone talking about it?
Did you ever see what was in Dank's office?
Did you have any conversations with Reid?
Did you discuss the program they intended to put you on next year?
When player X dropped you back home after training did you have to stop off anywhere on the way?
When players were walking out to training or back from training was Dank there, was he calling players over?

Essendon have been lying through their teeth to the public since the investigation began and the lying started on Day number 1 claiming they self reported. I am sorry you are upset I do not believe anything that come out of your honourable club though

Really? I still wouldn't believe them

Remember when Little said he wasn't expecting SCN? Then the next day they received them, and to find out that he asked ASADA to wait off on the SCN because of their match on the weekend?
 
The HUN updated thier story this morning saying Daniher does not have an IN and is sitting out to play next week.

nah man, they are lying. They don't know the Truth.

This is just weasel words:

Daniher was not on the Essendon list in 2012 but spent time at the club as a father-son prospect during that year. He does not have an infraction notice and will play soon in the NAB Challenge.

It is known David Zaharakis and Jason Winderlich didn’t receive infraction notices, which means 18 of the 20 remaining 2012 players sitting out the St Kilda game are facing drug bans.

One Essendon supporter is 100% confident that Zaharakis got one, and well connected to him too. Maybe it was mxett

Are you saying Little lied in that statement? I don't see one. A bad prediction only. Try again buddy!
