Healy claimed on 3aw that, according to his sources, in addition to the Bombers, things look pretty bad for another club as well. I just pray to God that it's not us. I am sure our club has learnt its lessons from blatantly cheating the system.
Putting 2 and 2 together, if that's the case reckon there may be a few nervous people down at Kardinia Park.

Hope Harker doesn't post a picture of Kreuzer's acne to balance out his photo of Bootsma's manly build.

Fear not! It's Geelong because those blokes being investigated were at the Cats prior to the Bombers.

I am, but mind you, I wouldn't have toned down that post much if I was still a Mod. I normally don't give a damn about other AFL clubs, but the Bombers have been getting away with crap for way too long.
I know... Essendon supporters hang plenty of shit on us for 2002 and call us out for cheating in the 95 grand final when there is absolutely no evidence to support their claims, but they constantly overlook 91-94 when their club got pinged for both systematic salary cap infringements and for draft tampering... including their 93 premiership year.

I think that it must be a guilt thing... we did it first and we did it big time... so lets hang shit on others so that we can feel better about what we did.

And for the record, if WADA is involved... there will be a thorough investigation and any player who does a Ben Cousins and shows up for the hair tests with buzzcuts will be smacked with an instant, and very hefty, fine. If the waivers actually still exist then the hierarchy at Windy Hill will all be looking down the barrels of 2 year to lifetime bans for their involvement.

And all this came about because Essendon were getting shafted by a bowls club about the redevelopment of Windy Hill and were sliding down the ladder at the same time.

Gut says the AFL are the Bombers are going to try and the pass the buck to the fitness gurus who put the players on this substance. It's hard to see the AFL suspending an entire playing list. Demetriou's **** buddies at the AFLPA would lose their shit. Assuming they're guilty, my tip is a big fine, loss of picks and a few high profile sackings outside of Golden Boy and Bomber.

It would be fairer (or funnier) if they banned the Bombers from playing for premiership points like the Storm.
It might not be the AFL's decision, I believe ASADA are the ones that have the power to decide the punishment. The AFL might also chip in and give additional punishment because it's brought the game into disrepute.

If WADA is involved, Essendon are ******... the AFLPA, ASADA and the AFL are going to have no choice but to follow the ruling of WADA because if they dont follow those findings, the AFL is going to lose all federal funding and I reckon that the TV stations are going to come in and say "we want out money back... we are not going to broadcast a bunch of drug cheats running around setting a bad example for our kids".

And aside from that lot... the fact that the stuff that they are purported to have been using is illegal in Australia and we could see people from Essenscum doing serious time over this.

Essendon VFL side have only signed up 9 or 10 players but they might need to find a few more come start of the season - as the AFL re- write the rookie elevations rules so these cheating pricks can field an AFL tea.

Yeah you're probably right WADA. Either way, I believe the AFL aren't going to be deciding the full punishment.

As a side note, Mark Robinson just said other clubS may be coming forward in the next few days. I think we should be all good though considering we trimmed down a bit last pre season.

It's hard to see players being banned from their sport like TDF cyclists and the East German and Chinese swim teams. The club/s were the ones handing out the supplements. It would be a first for the AFL if a team is banned from playing. Would be stunned if they took it that far. The AFL would lose millions. Think they'll come down hard on their Footy Manager and their fitness coaches.

ESSENDON players were taken away from the club and injected with unknown substances by sports science staff last season.

The Herald Sun can reveal the off-site injections will form part of an investigation by the AFL and Australia's anti-doping watchdog into inappropriate use of supplements at the club in 2012.

Sources allege organised crime gangs also have been linked to the scandal.

It doesn't matter how much the AFL loses if WADA or ASADA make the call, they make the call, the AFL MUST comply or they lose funding don't they?

This just gets better and better, couldn't happen to a nicer pack of pricks. Lets hope they lose a heap of points, some draft picks and some more heads roll. Let the fun begin.
