Re: AFL targets Essendon Royalty
This is also acceptable in my view. Deadly serious. Relocate the franchise. Start again.
I tweeted today that the most striking aspect of the charges was the commentary on Thymosin Beta 4 and the dodgy back dating etc. That is enough for me, how they'll spin that I cannot fathom. Everything else seems rather paltry in comparison if we are waxing about the issue from a "drug cheats" lens. Thats beyond cynical, its sinister.
The non prescribed drugs stuff, from a duty of care perspective is atrocious. Lyon on FootyClassified was spot on. I'd walk.Time and Tide Waits For No ManComment

Re: AFL targets Essendon Royalty
To the tune of "Its a Grand Old Team to Play For"
Sure it's a brand new team to play for,
Sure it's a grand old team disgraced,
When you read its history,
It's enough to make your heart grow sad,
God bless them.
We don't care what the other teams say
What the hell do we care,
Because we only know what the Golden Boy says so,
So The Bombers - Hobart we'll be there.Time and Tide Waits For No ManComment

Re: AFL targets Essendon Royalty
Even on the basis of what they've agreed to, WADA will have to place their normal cane back in the rack and unlock the big stick.
"Unsure" of whether players have been injected with banned substances gives them enough ammunition. Players have been banned for 2 years because of coaches having possession of PEDs - their "sports scientist" possessing PEDs is almost enough by itself.Western Bulldogs: 2016 PremiersComment

Re: AFL targets Essendon Royalty
Did anybody hear the mother of a current Essendon player on MMM this morning? Powerful stuff (click on the audio link below the video link):
This club is rotten to the core, and they have resorted to bringing in the heavy legal artillery simply to argue around the fringes of technicalities in a forlorn attempt to weasel out of their self-inflicted predicament. The deal that the AFL allegedly offered to them was generous in the extreme given their situation and alleged behaviour, and yet they had the arrogance and temerity to knock it back and fight fire with fire - only problem is they are using pop guns against the AFL's cannons (and ADASA/WADA have atomic bombs waiting in the wings for the next round).
The AFL hasn't even had to revert to the ASADA interim report to lay these damning charges, let alone the final ASADA report when it is eventually finished - the complete lack of care for their players and disregard for proper procedures is patently obvious, and it is actually quite sad to see that narcissist Hird try and defend his name against such an obvious gross dereliction of duty and care. The AFL has barely uncovered a fraction of the real story - just wait until the final report is completed, and there are upwards of 38 players and player managers suing the club while they spend the next 2 years on the sidelines. The words 'Systematic Doping' might well be linked to this club forever and a day.
Media cheerleaders like Robbo, Connolly, McVitamins, Matthews, Darcy and numerous others should also be embarrassed with themselves - the health of the game is always far more important than personal interests of a select few.
Listening to that poor distraught mother this morning, Essendon's priorities (and that of their blind supporters) have been completely lost in trying to protect the Queen Bee. It will cost them 2 years out of the competition at best if they continue this fight."Look at me mate. Look at me. I'm flyin'"Comment
