Wouldn't really affect Bock though, would it?
His career is over , although he is in coaching now.
What a rotten egg Dank is . I'd be happy to see him jailed on any technicality.
Apart from reputation damage, if he is working in coaching at any sport he will lose his job as he is unable to work in that capacity while serving a ban.

Sure, he would have to serve a sentence wrt coaching any team.
But he's already played out his career . I don't like it any more than the *34 , but at least they've been slammed.

One thing I resent is the reporting of this stuff particularly on SEN , where the opinions seem to be parochial and opposed to ASADA.
As a supporter, I want to know that teams are playing cleanly. I'd rather see the bad eggs (players and sports scientists) get exposed regardless of their prowess. Otherwise it just ain't worth watching.

It's pretty hilarious that the case is now re-opened due to Dank.

So many laughs with this guy.
You just wait till he finally comes out with the truth that will clear everyone!!!


You just wait!!






You... just...wait...






Any moment now....

So is anyone else thinking the "clearing" of the Bomber-Weapon years at Geelong is just BS?
No, because the rules were different back then.

Geelong and ther clubs may have been injecting players with peptides, but at the time WADA and ASADA were yet to prohibit a lot of what is now banned.

Just like how Essendon used TB4, thinking it was slipping through the cracks, and not breaking the code....so they kept it all hush, didn't declare that they were being injected with anything untoward...

The problem for Essendon was, their belief was unfounded. Dank screwed up.

When ASADA cleared bock it was puzzling though and I think being critical of ASADA was reasonable.

Yes, but the latest information from Dank was released to the media, not to ASADA.

Assuming that Dank now makes a formal statement to ASADA, it is the missing link required to prosecute Bock. It is interesting that he didn't say so in his initial statement to ASADA!

Essendon are paying Dank to keep quiet.
Gold Coast aren't.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was a financial incentive from an Essendon donor to Dank to open up about Bock.
Looks like it's a ploy to get money out of the Suns. He's suing them for unfair dismissal...

I couldn't help myself. The picture popped into my head. Apologies to the great man in black

I think Spew Corp could well be paying him as well, via the defamation payouts. They broke the bock 'revelation'.

Is it just me or does this actually harm EFC? I mean the man they have been closely linked with during this saga has come out and said he has supplied an illegal substance to another player from another club, yet when he was there everything was above board, but we don't exactly know what it was.:drunk::confused:

Dank is virtually bankrupt now.

In February, he lost a defamation trial in NSW that ran for 20 days. Ordered to pay the media's costs of that trial: QC and junior barrister plus solicitors' fees probably around $1 million.

Jury found that Dank had given Cronulla players dangerous drugs and drugs that endangered the life of Jon Mannah, who subsequently died of cancer.

It's not about being a likeable guy though. While he does deserve to earn a living, it shouldn't be by having any involvement with the game. Certainly not by being installed and used as a puppet for AFL propaganda purposes. He's paraded about by the AFL industry and fapped over by sycophants and apologists; as much so the AFL can thumb it's nose at the ASADA and WADA peoples, as to be a smoke and mirrors 'damage limitation' device when considering the perceived and actual reputation damage to his career.

I'm certainly happy that he's made the decision to take on Essendon the way hes going to, but I can't help but think he's damaged his case a little by taking this AFL 360 job at present. On the one hand ( and actual playing side of things aside), he's saying his reputation is damaged. Yet at the very same time he's getting superstar billing and a paid gig on the tv. For my money, he shoots himself and his case in the foot more than a little there. If he was so reviled, he would be a pariah and certainly would be able to argue that line. :thumbsu:
But dude, just go and get a day job, a real job, study, become a volunteer, do something useful with your life and think about what a shitbag you and your 33 mates were. Not bludge off some arselicking tv show, then go the full frontal doubledip by suing your club. Admittedly, they ****** your life over. Scumbags that they are, and scumbags worthy of being sued out of existence, its just something .... something ... something about having your cake and eating it too. (Sorry, I thought we were over the cake walk talk, but it did seem apt!)

Obviously, these guys are getting looked after, and their arses kissed by the media every step of the way so as to limit the perceived damage to their 'reputation' & off field earnings. Sorry Hep, but you've been stooged again. You didn't think you got this gig on some sort of merit? It's just a payoff so the $1 mill your asking for gets knocked down to something more bearable.

Hep, I hope you take their money for what you did together, but I hope you get so bummed out by the process, you never make it back to the game.

i was cooking outside on the bbq and walked in. 360 was on and they had a close up of him. first thing i said "shit poor kid looks a broken man".

if he's suing bombers he couldn't possibly be there next year. could he?
Are you kidding? He's got blonde hair, is learning to sue people ..... Essendon like that kinda thing, he'll be their captain in 2017.
