My summary - please feel free to correct/add.

Paul Little
So we're not happy about the charge sheet being out.
Paul Little: Assertions not supported by evidence
Time of release not a coincidence
AFL has know since Feb that AOD was not banned substance
That the AFL knew this is unforgivable and reprehensible
Latest PR attack (charges)
Club had sought charges being released due to all what they deem as absolute inaccuracies
CLub maintains that we definitely not administered any illegal drugs
We have been trying to reword the charges and reach common grounds should club plead guilty to any charge
AFL was aware of the failing of the original charges
The revised charge sheet provided by the AFL (on the EFC website) shows that the 2 charge sheets are very different.
AFL is being belligerent and using today;s release as a PR exercise in light of last night's revelations.
EFC had shortcomings, and will accept penalties for poor governance
I cannot accept the point of view that we have taken illegal substances
Have lost total confidence in the AFL executive. Mike Fitz needs to step in.


James Hird
Given charges only minutes before releasing
Letter from Bruce Reid has been released to damage JH
Breach of process
Charges are being denied
Will be vigorously defended when given the opportunity to do so
AFL running agenda to damage EFC
I will contest these charges
AD and the AFL should recuse itself due to conflict of interest
ASADA report is Interim, no infractions
AFL and ASADA may have broken law
AFL knew since FEB that AOD wasn't banned
I have been denied natural justice, and today's release is an example of that.
In short...:

I hate and can't stand stuff like this. Its exactly whats wrong with society these days. All these "committee's" and "ethical boards" and "executives" and "world bodies this that and the other".

Bunch of useless oxygen sucking organisations that need to point fingers in order to be seen to be doing something, anything to justify their oxygen thief existence.

The charge sheet made public by the AFL today specifically lists multiple confirmed PED's that were administered to players, and that are confirmed WADA banned substances under S2.

TB-500 is the 'main' one, but there are others as well.

Did the Essendon Only label get taken off this thread... didn't seem to notice you except when peddling negative crap.

You sir, have NFI what is going on. I suggest you take a long walk of a very short pier and hopefully find another half of a brain at the bottom of the ocean.

I would suggest that IF it was so 'clear cut' that players had been administered MULTIPLE banned substances, then this wouldn't be about governance. This would be about 40 players all receiving infraction notices.

It's war, folks.


AFL: "Listen carefully Hird, Vlad conquers and controls EVERYTHING he rests his eyes upon... he leads an army so MASSIVE, it SHAKES the ground with it's march. So VAST it DRINKS the rivers dry. ALL that God-King Vlad requires - is this... a simple, offering of points and finals, a token of Essendon's submission, to the will, of Vlad."
Hird: "[Deep breath] ... Submission?....... well that's a bit of a problem. See rumour has it, the Demons, have already turned you down. And if those bottomers, and their, spoon lovers, have found that kind of nerve then..."
Bomber: "We must be diplomatic..."
Hird: "And of course BOMBERS... have their reputation to consider."
AFL: "Choose... your next words carefully Hird... they may be your last... as coach."
Hird: [Looks at his fellow clubmen and women... looks down, wind blows and emphatic music plays]

[... "points... and finals"...]

[Directs the truth and integrity at the AFL's face, entire club does the same]

AFL: "Madman... YOU'RE A MADMAN!"
Hird: "Points... and finals. Oh you'll find plenty of both over here."
AFL: "No club... big or small, NO CLUB embarrasses the AFL!"
Hird: "You bring the crowns and heads of conquered coaches to MY CLUB STEPS... you INSULT MY TEAM... you THREATEN my players with SLANDER AND DEATH! ... Oh, I've chosen my words carefully AFL. Perhaps you should have done the SAME!"
AFL: "This is blasphemy! This is MADNESS!"

[Hird looks behind him, at the club, the players, the supporters, all of whome give the go ahead]

Hird: "Madness?..."
THIS, IS, ESSENDON!
