Steven Dank adamant players were not injected with Thymosin Beta 4 or any other banned substance. He wants his day in court.

I'm actually very doubtful about that one. I'm very confident that AOD was above board but I'm almost certain that the "circumstantial" evidence for TB4 is close to overwhelming. I do, however, also feel that this was not agreed upon by anyone at the club.

I see your point but most of the 'evidence' that you have seen is skewed through a very bad set of glasses.

Wait till the full records of conversations etc etc comes out and then make judgement.

There is no evidence that our players were given TB4.

What are everyone's thoughts of that letter of Bruce Reid's being released?
That could land the AFL in some serious trouble IMO.

Considering it is part of a confidential and ONGOING government investigation.. then I would have thought it shouldn't have been released.

My guess is that Vlad will blame Dillon...

As much as the golden boy James Hird is

any one else get a serious tingling feeling that he was looking right through you with laser eyes when he looked at the camera early in his statement?



Just over it now.. Seriously.. IT IS NOT FOOTBALL ANYMORE!!

Surprised a channel, or network has not started an EFC v ASADA ONLY program..

The other programs on that very network might be able to actually talk about football. You know, that little oval thing 22 blokes run around chasing and kicking and trying to hurt the **** out of the opposition team.

Wouldn't that imply insufficient supervision and / or a lack of proper processes ?

I can't see how Little and Demetriou could work together productively in the future after this.
.
What are the chances they're both still 'here' in 6 months' time?
I think Little has taken on the role of chairman in order to carry out a job. Only guessing, but I'm not sure his intentions have ever been a long term role. Cometh the hour, cometh the man.

As for Demetriou, there was talk of his time being up anyway. The saga may be making him stay on longer than he would have.

I just hope Little is the one who will still be employable after this is all over, and Andy....

It hasn't been for awhile. The weekend game is a respite from the reality.
Look at the Game Day threads the banter has gone.

Matt Finnish surely you can afford a ******* comb.
He's got the easiest job here - he can get stuck into Essendon, the AFL and the media.

Can just sit back and throw grenades into the pit and not worry about any of them being tossed back ...

Seriously this is getting to me. Bombers playing our biggest rival this weekend, and frankly it is secondary for me right now. It's gone too far to turn back now though and I would hate to see our club ever roll over and take something it didn't deserve for expeniency. glory be everyone else.
