I heard the replay of his SEN interview.
If all is as he claims, then what were Hird, Robson and Evans doing looking like such stunned mullets during yesterday's conference?
They could have just said "We know what has gone on, it is 100% ok, and we welcome the investigation that we clear us".
If they are found to have done nothing wrong, they have already done massive damage to their brand because the response makes them look guilty.
Stinks way too much for it all to be perfectly fine.

Motorists in the area are slowing down along Napier St to have a closer look at the club which has been thrown into turmoil over the past 48 hours.

Drivers are winding down their windows as they pass Windy Hill Oval, shouting choruses of "drug cheats", while the Bombers' faithful have expressed their disappointment at the drug scandal allegations.

Awful lot of smoke billowing from Windy Hill to be no fire.....honestly there have to be massive issues otherwise why all the fuss. I did enjoy mcveigh ripping into Reimers. extremely amusing.

LOL at the Essendon board, have a read of "The McVeigh Interview", they all think he's the greatest thing since sliced bread to come and say what he did, I think they honestly believe they will be fine now after hearing Spike talk on the radio.

So Spike says everyone knew what they were taking and that it was 100% legal, yet the coach and the board weren't aware of what they were taking? Bit contradictory don't ya think? Well either Spike is telling a 100% lie and will end up looking like an absolute knob or the communication between the coaches and club doctors is the worst in the AFL.

Flogs.
For mine it is akin to President Clinton suggesting he did not have sexual relations with that woman!!

Mcveigh... a person to be trusted to reveal all the truths going on at Essendope. A man so in the know that Bomber Thompson and his hand puppet James 'Golden Boy' Hird would come to him for news about whats happening at the club.

And then he wakes up in the morning and finds out that it is all a wet dream.

I wouldnt trust him to read the weather let alone know what the hell is going on at Essendon. That shit that they are accused of is about 4 levels above his pay grade.

And as for those 'vitamin' shots... at least we know that they werent intelligence boosters.

I kind of get the feeling that the good young players were getting the top shelf stuff and poor old Spike was getting the placebo pill suppository!! :)

Unbelievable :eek:

Club link to drug dealer


A CONVICTED drug trafficker who calls himself Dr Ageless supplied the Essendon Football Club's sacked sports scientist with potentially illegal supplements.

Biochemist Shane Charter is alleged to have provided Stephen Dank - a central figure in the scandal - with supplements sourced from Asia.
It is understood Mr Dank worked closely with Mr Charter to provide players with supplements, which are believed to have cost as much as $30,000. Mr Dank is believed to have been sacked after the club discovered unauthorised expenditure.


Mr Charter declined to comment on Wednesday. However, a supporter of Mr Charter's confirmed his association with Essendon and said he had provided the club with ''vitamins''.

I read that article a few minutes ago Aph. It just gets better & better. You just keep refreshing the various news websites every few minutes & a new angle on this saga appears. It is a godsend for BF, social media & news websites alike.

They'll close ranks around Hird, Evans, Thompson and Robson more than the Federal Government went into bat for Craig Thomson.
At the moment they are all looking as stupid as Craig Thomson & Peter Slipper.

One minute James Hird has no idea any of this has gone on, nek minnit he has witnessed the signing of the waiver forms. It brings to mind the Lou Christie song 'Two Faces Have I'.

I would love to be a fly on the wall. ;)
I dont think that a fly would even get in there...

I just love how the Essendope supporters are trying to deflect all the blame from the club to the sports scientists and saying that the stuff they were given was perfectly legal.

And I also love how the Essenscum drones (Mcveigh and Lloyd) are both claiming that it was a disgruntled Reimers who is just saying this to cause issues for the club that discarded him.

Talk about grasping at straws while you are going over the waterfall...

Tipping they'll try and throw Bomber Thompson, Robinson and Dr Reid under the bus to save Hird, Robinson and Evans.

Hamilton, Dank and their CFO parted ways with Essendon last year. ;)

You have to love the irony of Reimers being the whistle blower...
