Zahrakis, the only EFC player to refuse to join the supplements program at Essendon. What moral courage, what fortitude....oh...wait....he's scared of needles.

So you're saying people scared of needles are weak?

Now, now tragic, tell the truth. Do you need a choc-ice to be encouraged to take your needle like a big brave boy?

Ha I guess I read the headline, and thought, good on you! and then it was like oh. He's just scared of needles, otherwise he would have gone along with it all.

No. I just cry until the doctor says I don't have to.

I thought I was fine after spending a heap of time in hospitals over the past few years, but I got offered a free flu shot 6 weeks ago and I said "I'll think about it first". Well i thought about it, it would be an unnecessary ouchy. So I haven't gone back...

Watching the post interview discussion of the Robinson interview and it's hilarious seeing Mark McVeigh uniformly defend ask things Hird and Essendon. Surely the Bombers would've been better placed sending their spin doctor instead, at least they wouldn't waffle through their attempts at deflection.

McVeigh is a muppet!

The panel was nothing more than an Essendon love-in. No amount of ex footballers will cushion the blow when ASADA bring the hammer down.

Looking forward to the next instalment from Baker and McMenzie in The Age. Investigative reporters on one hand, Spike 'only vitamins' McVeigh on the other

He better hope he's strong — he may be their only player next year.

Loved watching him hide behind the investigation when asked an anti-Hird/anti-Essendon question, but not hesitate to sink the knife into Dank/Robinson.

He has shifty eyes. Dad always warned me about shifty eyes.

Have to say, didn't believe Robinson much. I think we're all getting caught up in Hird vs AFL vs Robinson vs Dank vs Evans and so on.

They're ALL guilty, to varying degrees, in my opinion.

He's defamed quite a few people along the way too. I wonder if he understands that you just can't accuse people of telling flat out lies and not expect comeback from them. He's called four liars in the twenty minutes I watched.


If Kyle Reimers was dead he'd be spinning in his grave.

I'm not convinced McVeigh understands much about anything. It seems everything he knows could be summarised as "Essendon good" "anything not Essendon bad".

If they re-make Animal Farm McVeigh could get a role as a sheep.

Re: Stick with code, says WADA

Leigh Matthews had obviously made up his mind before the interview was shown, I doubt he even watched it


And fully agree re McVeigh.

Re: Stick with code, says WADA

Agree with the posts above on McVeigh. It was frustrating to watch, felt like reaching through the television and slapping him across the face.

How about when he denied whether Hird had a phone call whilst in America to Dank? How in the actual hell would McVeigh know if he did or not? His blind bias made me sick.

The only person with any credibility on that show was Stevens, who posed some good questions, and genuinely wasn't sticking/sucking up to Hird.

Re: Stick with code, says WADA

Mcveigh's slanderous comments on ex-teammate Reimers was embarrassing when this all kicked off.
Reimers had the gonads to tip the bucket.

Re: Stick with code, says WADA

The one thing that has really hit home over the last week with me is the toll it is taking on those concerned.

I don't think the players were intentionally given something they shouldn't have been but the whole process was flawed.
The AFL needs to push through and provide the answers as soon as is possible.

I think every player at every club needs to demand a full explanation on what supplements they are being given.

There is no doubt in my mind that many parents of prospective AFL players will now try and encourage them to play another sport. Long term impacts could be huge.

It looks like this will be heading to court with Essendon challenging everything.
