Play Nice The CAS Appeal thread - update: appeal fails (11/10/16)

[Boxhead_31]

Going to all the fine cheese making countries

 

[Moquo]

So Essendon are officially drug cheats now?

Not at all. They merely had supplement governance issues.

 

[dees arent rabble]

If he had integrity he would never have been injected. If he had integrity after getting the most votes on brownlow night he would have been too embarrassed to accept it and admitted his guilt. If he had integrity he would have admitted his guilt when the allegations started. If he had integrity he wouldn't have been part of a court case to block interviews being used as evidence. If he If he had integrity he would have pled guilty to charges. If he had integrity when found guilty he would have handed it back and accepted punishment. If he had integrity he wouldn't have appealed again. It's been a few hours since the last resort has failed and he is not on his way to turn it over and has not posted so much as a tweet apologising fir cheating and saying he will hand it back.

The guy doesn't have integrity, he is a drug cheat.

Booooo

 

[Xtreme]

They could have had this over and done with years ago but nope they had to be stubborn. They still lost - now they've lost more money and their reputation as a football club is in tatters.

So basically players defence team stuffed up at CAS and did not formally challenge the jurisdiction and procedure...

And for good measure even if players defence team did formally challenge there were no grounds to challenge on...

Thanks for the summary Muggs, and for all your contributions on here.

Hard to believe they could stuff it up so horrendously. Perhaps it was simply a delaying tactic.

Well the players didn't have to pay, so why not?

 

[asanque]

The 'dog ate my homework' defence is officially dead.

 

[jenny61_99]

Pretty much was doomed to fail even before it began it would seem

Pretty much as everyone bar some Essendon folk felt before appeal was announced. If they'd have listened to us, would have saved a shitload of $$$$.

BF HTB Logic > Lawyer $$ logic (not really, lawyers knew the whole time they had no chance and just wanted to pay off their 10th holiday house)

 

[jenny61_99]

This can't be real, surely?

And Peter Gordon.. he's done a lot right for the doggies.. but he got this wrong...

Not the only stuff up either imo

 

[Muggs]

Technically possible....

Even less grounds though than a appeal from CAS to the Swiss court.

[sataris]

Agree listed a few others earlier tonight.

Bob Murphy gave the medal he didn't deserve less than 48 hours after accepting it. Jobe is now over 1500 days. Really says something about the character of the man.

 

[CharacterFirst]

The Brownlow Medal (formally the Charles Brownlow Trophy) is an individual award given to the player judged fairest and best in the Australian Football League during the regular season.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Brownlow_Medal_winners

Yep. Fairest first and foremost.

It is not like a club B&F.

It is the league F&B.

 

[freebloke]

Where is the ******* movie... you know with Goddard just ******* pointing at everyone else as Jobe is stripped of the medal!

 

[Big Sim is Back]

Ho ho ho. Essendon types still trotting out pearlers like "its an AFL award and the AFL found them not guilty" and "nothing has ever been proven." Its like some kind of dementia.

I thought this s**t would get old, but it doesn't.

I honestly want the AFL to let him keep it if he doesn't hand it back voluntarily. The ridicule they, and he, will suffer ever after would be a fitting epilogue to the saga when all the lawyers have finally packed up and retired in their EFC funded beach mansions.

 

[bomberjez]

Thank *.

We've received and taken the worst legal/PR advice ever given to a club. So we deserve it on that basis alone.

All this "EFC is a football club in tatters" stuff is hilarious, though. We've paid a price for 3 years and we're fine.

1. I'm born and bred Essendon. Only give a * about finals next year.
2. 95% of players ****ed over are keen to still play with us
3. We still make more cash, and will forever make more cash, then most clubs

Lets hope this is where it ends and no players suffer any unlikely impacts to their health other than being shredded af.

It shall forever live on in football circle banter and I wouldn't have it any other way.

 

[Armchair Critic]

So it's nearly all over with the expected result coming through.Only a decision on a brownlow left to go

 

[Armchair Critic]

If anything, this saga has brought many fans together. makes it incredibly hard to hate Adelaide (yes looking at you jenny61_99 and Muggs)

You're not trying hard enough

 

[Armchair Critic]

As the chapter draws to a close on the 2012 season I think fox footy need to put on constant repeat the 2012 GF until the 2012 Brownlow is decided.

And compensation..

But yup.
