Watching the replay of AFL 360. Slobbo is still in holiday mode i.e. somehow even more in comprehendible and factually wrong on basic details (CAS being split 2-2 apparently) than normal.
Play Nice WADA v Essendon 34: Guilty, 2 Yr Susp. (backdated to Mar 2015). Affects 17 current AFL plyrs.

Hey, we're a club with a proud 140 year history.
Note: Proud not successful. Although any club that can survive over 140 years at the highest level has to be considered a success.

1. Sacking Sheedy for an unproven coach in Knights
2. Hiring Hird as some sort of Messiah on his terms in desperation after Knights ruined the team style
3. Not asking enough questions when flags were raised in 2012
4. Not taking their medicine when busted
5. Humiliating ASADA after the AFL Tribunal cover-up decision

Fish, chips, cup o' tea, Mary @#? Poppins. London!
Of course they would.
At the moment, the AFL wants 18 teams. It will NEVER act to push one of its clubs over the brink. It turns out Essendon is doing a good enough job of that on its own.
Moreover, they are probabaly a bit gun-shy having seen how heavy sanctions can exacerbate the problems experienced by incompetently run clubs (Carlton).
If I cause a car crash I can't turn around and tell the other parties and the police "Well, I got whiplash so I got punished enough". I still have potential criminal and civil charges to face.

Ok? There's been no judgement towards its factuality though

Not if you're killed though.
Over with?
Essendon's pain is only just beginning and nobody will be keen on handing out the lube.
It's a beautiful thing, ain't it. Justice served. I'd personally like to see hird smacked a bit more. I blame him more than anyone else. I want the people who conceived of the idea to feel the burn.
We sourced one completely legal drug that's used by every club in the league through Dank via Robinson on one occasion.
But please continue to attempt to attempt to conflate that into something that matches what Essendon have done. It doesn't make you look ridiculous at all..
Not entirely sure but here goes.
When you go on a flight and you're the pilot the ultimate responsibility is really on you. Heck that could be the first right there.
Pre-flight check. You have to walk around your plane and in sequence check that everything is ok. No obvious damage to the plane, that the fuel is ok etc...
You have to submit a flight plan to the airport/tower you are leaving from. Your calculations time wise and navigation have to be spot on. You have to stick to this plan too.
Weight distribution. This has to be properly calculated, both the weight itself (if the plane can lift it) and distribution, so you don't stuff up the balance of the plane. This includes everything in the plane, Pilot, passengers, baggage, and fuel.
From this very rough (probably a lot missing) outline should provide the reader with several analogies as to what went on at Essendon.
The Flight Plan, navigation, timing either not written, not submitted and destroyed after the fact.
No Pre-flight check, just hopped in and off they went.
Everything just chucked on the plane in an ad-hoc manner resulting in an out of balance plane.
Efforts to keep this all secret and being tipped off by..CASA I guess?
Someone with better knowledge, more cleverer than me could do this better.
Have at it.

Bullshit, if it was North or St Kilda the AFL would be welcoming it's brand new Tasmanian team.
Brisbane is protected only because they want 2 Qld teams.
They'd have that 18th team in Tassie

As in, of course there are clubs with doping programs of some sort. Probably plenty more where players would be pointed toward the right people too.
The main thing that shocks me in this case is the level of incompetence involved both in Essendon's attempts to get their program to work and in their pathetic efforts to cover it up.

Settle down mate, was just pointing out that WADA and CAS bothered to actually type it into their report.

No, but I found it interesting that CAS found it important enough to include in their final report. That's all.
Yep. The pecking order for the AFL is this
1. Big Victorian Clubs - AFL 'needs' the money, crowds and TV
2. NSW/QLD Clubs - AFL 'needs' to expand
3. Medium Victorian Clubs
4. WA/SA Clubs - Can be made examples of to look tough because they're capable of copping it and absorbing any punishments
5. Small Victorian Clubs - Kept alive because they want 18 teams
oohwah nice segue
