    Re: AFL targets Essendon Royalty

    An interesting article on The Conversation:

    Supplementary reading: why was there no red flag at Essendon?
    http://theconversation.com/supplementary-reading-why-was-there-no-red-flag-at-essendon-17350
    The notice of charges by the AFL against Essendon Football Club has been published, and we have dealt elsewhere with some of the facts of the matter. But some harder questions remain. What does this list…


    Specifically this part:
    A curious detail: one of the disputed allegations is that high-performance coach Dean Robinson provided coach James Hird with Melanotan II – a drug which is unapproved for human use and causes melanogenesis (or tanning) and a range of side-effects.

    The section in the report describing Hird suffering side-effects is redacted – which may have something to do with the fact that Melanotan-II produces spontaneous erections.


    The article references this study: http://www.jurology.com/article/S002...903-3/abstract

    In 8 of 10 men treated with Melanotan-II clinically apparent erections developed. Mean duration of tip rigidity greater than 80% was 38.0 minutes with Melanotan-II

        If Gillard was charged there would be a lot of nervous lawyers around. Pretty much every lawyer has done what Gillard is accused of doing. Personally I think it's a can of worms that nobody wants opened.
        They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

            Tip rigidity FTW.
            Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                Ah now I know what the press conference is for. Hird probably just wants to tell everyone that he had 38 minute erections before the drugs.

                    I think Hird is just going to be focused on getting it up for the Carlton game this weekend.

                    The charges against him are a bit stiff, to be honest.

                    (Sorry, couldn't help myself.)

                            It's going hard this weekend for Hird, with all the things that have been popping up during the week, but if he can stiffen up the backline, develop something solid in the middle area, and be firm with his players they should be able to perform.

                                Article in the Australian contained information almost certainly leaked from Hird and his lawyers that the redacted part referred to the tanning agent - apparently Hird was supposed to take Melatonin for help sleeping not Melanotan II. Either way all this spin from both angles is getting annoying.

                                    Expect every Essendon player to be spreading for the fat side of the ground tomorrow.
                                    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                                                Reports of a peace deal from the AFL to essendon. Hird will be forced to stand-down. They lose all points from THIS season but RETAIN THEIR DRAFT PICKS. Absolute slap on the wrist if true. Getting away with murder

                                                    That's exactly what I gathered from it as well.
                                                    There's a lot of Gillard Hate from the Sydney shock jocks
                                                    "Father died of shame" was the most reprehensible comment of all time.
