Anyone else see Sam Lane after last night's game talking about what that silly person 'Spike' McVeigh said on SEN Sat morning re his ASADA interview?

The gist is he came out of it extremely stressed becuase of all the info ASADA knew that he had no idea about...illegal things done by people no longer at the club (the Dankinator and the Weapon, I assume).

McVeigh said he truly believed at the time he wasn't doing anything wrong, but now....OOOOOPS....

Makes his attack on Reimers the day it all came out that much more ridiculous....can't ever remember any Carlton people swearing black and blue we didn't cheat; sure we drew the wagons in tight, but hey, any organisation would do that. Says a lot about their shitful excuse for a club.
Says alot about their board etc more that anything.

I feel bad for the kids that may have been drafted shown some forms told 'this is how it is everywhere' and signed as its their shot at the big time.

I am going to avoid all footy programs this week because I don't want to have to listen to bias comments.
As someone who lurks teh Bay often, I was intending to avoid teh Bay for a while, there's no comeback to an opposition supporter after such an bad loss. However. having roamed it a bit since then and considering how big a target Carlton is to opposition fans, I've been surprised how low key the mud slinging is there. The whole first page of threads would be poo canning Carlton, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of enthusiasm atm. If anything, there may've been more threads having a go at Essendope*.

I did. Spike is on Game Day now so will more than likely hear straight from the horses mouth.

I honestly don't see how the players can escape without penalty? The rules are clear. Whether you knowingly or unknowingly took banned substances or PEDs, you're a goner.

So, are North having the season we had last year?
Has that big loss in the finals had some effect?

I don't think so, we were crippled by injuries they keep running out of puff.
If you ask me there problem was in preseason and mental toughness. Say what you like about Laidley as a coach he would always have the Kangas in peak fitness during the off season.

Then don't go over to the Essendon board then, the general theme over there is "players will get off, a fine of ~$500k like Melbourne got, everyone moves on".


I wonder how big the meltdown will be when the REAL penalties are handed out ........

I would prefer them to keep their 500K and have the AFL rule that they are to be known as Essendon* for the continuation of their AFL days.

Just adding an asterisk to their name forever will be more satisfying for me then a $500 grand fine unless they strip them of points or suspend individuals.

Spike has now gone from "the voice of reason" to a "quote for hire looking to boost his media profile" in the space of an interview ......
Spike is right now at home having a long hard look in the mirror....and seeing his third eye, 5th nostril and a penis where his chin once was. Side effects boys, side effects!! ;)

I hated Reimers, but is Spike going to apologise to him? He called him a liar and they knew what they were taking and it was ticked off by WADA, but now he's saying he can't believe what they were taking and what they were administered etc.

What a ****en cheating, lying hypocrite. Bunch of cheats they are.

What I don't understand is a former player said they signed waiver forms and the players knew there was something dodgy about the stuff they were taking and the practises they were implementing, then Spike comes out and says they were consent forms and they knew what they were taking, but now he says he can't believe some of the stuff they were given.

It will be a disgrace to the competition if they are to not get punished severely.
