Who becomes Tyrion then?

Both Essendon and James Hird are likely to establish this, although on different bases.
They mean to say basis surely? It doesn't fill me with confidence.

Bases is the plural of basis

Re: ASADA issues show-cause notices to Essendon players
Dank on Adelaide radio says he believes the players knew what they were taking...
Re: ASADA issues show-cause notices to Essendon players
I reckon he (Dank) will sing like a canary.......
Re: ASADA issues show-cause notices to Essendon players
Yep and he will take Hird down big time.

Heard Cornes on SEN this morning seems Dank is very confident that they did not take any banned substances.

He'd want to stick with that no matter what. Got to say I agree with Fredi, from interviews etc, I don't think i'd trust the locations of the bodies with Dank (figuratively to say).

Heard him trot out these types of quote a number of times, I don't buy it for a second. If he had proof he did nothing wrong we'd have seen it long ago, rather we hear that he's never going to present it, and he's tries to sue anyone who questions him.
He reminds me of the old bloke sitting on the corner of every local pub telling you about how he could've been a great AFL player but didn't want to be. Basically full of shit. If he could he would.

And he's going to sue everybody from AD to Dr Harcourt to Ziggy Switkowski to the boot studder - court action taken thus far. Zero.
Essendon are royally screwed - stubborn and arrogant fools have decided to die slowly via the scenic route. Won't be long now until the splintering begins and self-preservation - from Dank, from the players and their managers - takes over.
"I'm looking forward to the truth coming out and we'll be in a very good place". I guess that is why Essendon have thrown a desperate Hail Mary by trying to suppress the evidence (read: the truth) gathered by ASADA thus far in the Federal Court.
They are a shit stain on the competition and I personally hope they are wiped to oblivion after all this. Drug cheating en masse (if proven to have occurred) should never, ever be tolerated by the game's governing body. James Hird will forever be the pariah of the game - the Lance Armstrong figure whose hubris and narcissism destroyed a game's reputation.
This opinion piece from the usually grubby Damian Barrett (although his work on this issue has been excellent) is quite telling, considering it is from the game's official website: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-07-0...sendon-players
Couldn't put it better myself. Don't care about the smokescreens that Essendon and their grubby PR machine are trying to create. Simple questions that Essendon and their media cheerleaders are unable/unwilling to answer - What drugs did the players take? Are these drugs banned under the WADA code? Minimum 2 years for all 34 players (yes, I know that will screw us with Crammers). Lawsuits a-plenty landing on Essendon's door-step - hopefully including from us and Port. Maybe then Tassie can then have their own stand-alone team and the competition can once again rise from the mess created by this dirty organisation.
