What a piece of s**t club

The Age are reporting that Hal Hunter is being chased for costs by EFC and the AFL.

Hunter is trying to obtain documents as to what substances were given to him.

What an upstanding organisation they are.

 

[Mahlepi]

this guy is a leader
the afl are corrupt as shite - bring in anyone, this is a farce
not the gutless brownlow cheat

 

[justbetter]

Didn't think EFC could be more low or disgusting.

 

[jenny61_99]

Apart from the obvious disgust at both organisations, this stood out for me.

Hal Hunter was 18 and a rookie. He got injections on and off site but never signed a consent form. He didn't get an infraction notice. I wonder if any if the remaining few never signed consent forms but received injections too? Including the young Daniher?

 

[coryne]

Just wait until the rest of the players start to sue the club too .... Hal wants paperwork that any reasonable person would say that he is entitled to, the 34 players want +$30 million .....

What were the essendon players given?

Such a seemingly simple question

Such a ridiculously complicated (non) answer

And just how the * does a player have to go to court to get an answer and then be chased for costs from people denying him that answer.

The EFC seems to be able to find new ways to portray themselves as a grubby bunch if individuals on a daily basis

 

[Wooljay]

The AFL and Essendon are a pair of organisations that just lower themselves to new depths of unprofessionalism and scumbaggery with each passing day.

 

[DERIBERATE]

That's lower than a teacher's ****

Essendon and the AFL are trying to exhaust all of his $$$$. But either way, if he can/can't determine what he was injected with, Essendon have injected an 18 year old, without his consent, and without knowing what they've injected him with (assuming they still don't tell him). After not consenting, did Essendon inject Hunter anyway? If that did occur, that would almost certainly be the finish of Essendon as a club.

I read about this earlier today. Didn't think that the AFL and EFC could get much lower, but they have.

They are what my sister used to call an 'ankle', which is three feet lower than a c*nt

 

[mxett]

if Hal was part of the program, yet to this day doesnt know what he was injected with, why did CAS accuse the players of knowing what they were using?

 

[AlecDuncan]

Lower than turtle ****.

 

[BF Tiger]

Hunter wants to know the full cocktail. CAS were happy just proving TB-4.

 

[VL3OJ]

Just when you think the odd-couple (Essendon and AFL) could stoop any lower out pops this gem. Hal has every right to find out what else ended up in him. He was 18, the club owes him and the others a duty of care. Disgrasceful if true

 

[Linda Lovelace]

That's not what CAS accused them of. Can you point to the section in the judgement where they stated the players knew every single drug they took?

 

[mxett]

so you believe Hal knew about TB4 but none of the other injections? Isnt that a little convenient?

 

[mxett]

That's not what CAS accused them of. Can you point to the section in the judgement where they stated the players knew every single drug they took?

CAS accused them of knowingly doping, and given they were charged with using TB4 it goes without saying CAS believe they knew they were taking TB4

Sigh.

 

[ODNBlue]

You're just trolling now mxett... asking questions but refusing to understand the answers is ridiculous.

 

[King Elvis]

* me, the AFL has sunk to a new low.

Someone start a petition or something; I'm disgusted to be a follower of this league at present.

 

[NikkiNoo]

**** me, the AFL has sunk to a new low.

Working on it. Just have to get the wording right.

Which is why the only reasonable deduction is that it was not within the rules, otherwise we'd know. "We know we didn't take anything illegal, we just don't know what it was", yep.
