      Look mate, we didn't give anyone the drug! But if we did it was only 12-14 of them. But we didn't! But if we did it wasn't 32. But we didn't?

      Look if argument 1 doesn't work then just accept argument 2 no matter how contradictory they are OK!

        Ground control to Major Tom.

        I want whatever Bombers on.
        Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

          Right!
          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

            I think the argument is they gave some players Thymosin, but it was the legal type of Thymosin
            If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

              And to further clarify it: but if it was the naughty thymosine then definitely nobody got it.

                Bomber's book is interesting ... Worth the read if you're into sports autobiographies.

                  Is he completely honest? Does he mention any problems he might have?

                    Why don't these players sue the club, you know the people responsible for injecting them with copious amounts of unknown junk?

                    Bomber makes me laugh - remember when he was talking about the infamous spreadsheet supposedly with all the information on who was given what......"Yep, it was A3, the big one". That convinced me

                      Thing is all clubs licences are owned by the AFL so when you sue the club it's actually the AFL anyway isn't it ? Unless you sue individuals

                        I"m just up to the ASADA part, so I'll let you know.

                          Club employees did the injecting - players need to sue the club, but for some strange reason that is not going to happen. Perhaps the players know exactly what was injected into them and the club have them over a barrel with the signed consent forms.

                          I love AFL HQ bashing as much as the next person but they did not construct and implement the injecting regime at Essendon. Far from it, they warned the club repeatedly not to stray into questionable territory.

                            He spoke at my local footy club a few months ago, I couldn't make it but many people said it was the most interesting one for years. Apparently he potted anyone and everyone

                              He should partner with Jacko on the circuit, they are both dills.

                                Glad he turned up. On TV they said he has made speaker events before and simply not turned up.
