There's a bit that goes on behind the scenes that you won't see unless you fall on the bad side of the mods. I am/was one of the more positive posters on there yet still managed to fall on that bad side for reasons I've never been able to fathom, I never did enough to be banned though.

He's a narcissist he wants the attention.

So When Jab Watson claims they are not guilty is he claiming that they didn't take TB-4 or that because they were given it without their knowledge that they should not be found guilty? Cause CAS found that they were administered TB-4 to the level of proof required and the central tenet of the...

I hope his daughter is OK but Nevill should be keeper the rest of the series based on that test.

Why? He's reportedly not flying home.

If Haddin was as unselfish as he is purported to be he would retire. Heck he would have retired before now.

I reckon you could defend your client even though you may not believe much of his defence without coming across like you've been sucked in by him like Burnside comes across in this interview and the one with SEN this morning. He clearly avoids the question of Reid's letter and the txt messages.

Reckon Essendon will be getting very hard draws for the foreseeable future after this no matter what.

If they didn't then then they do now after the call to MMM from the players mother.

It was the minimum acceptable for me. They should have accepted it. And if they by some chance manage to get an injunction do they really imagine that the AFL won't make them pay for years to come eg. losing anzac day and dreamtime game.

Just heard it on SEN and yes it was heart breaking. Damning on Essendon.

How can Watson have come out and said what he said after the meeting then?

But why didn't he object more after the protocols clearly weren't followed?

Surely the Essendon players and ex players can't continue to support hird.

Which has to be criminal behaviour does it not.

At this point Essendon would be better off accepting a penalty for this year because they are clearly shot.

This puts a different light on it. I don't see how the players who have admitted they believed they took AOD9604 and thymosin can avoid an infraction under this clause.

Hence why they need to be punished more harshly for it, never mind the health issues involved by not tracking who took what.

Yep agreed, the AFL should come down harder on the club as a result.

So what does the AFL code say about team penalties?

The Australian was a report written based on feedback from the bombers. The Hun and Age reports are different sides of the same coin.

Nevertheless I find it staggering that he clearly stands by the club over this given the sheer disregard for his sons welfare shown by Hird et al.

Based on what?

Exactly so: 1. why is this article even news? 2. How can it be considered the final report on the Essendon investigation.

Its been said since it was released that it is an interim report mainly on the conduct of the club and officials only, not the players and that anything on players will come later. They also said the investigation has been extended.

I heard that, does this mean it meets the WADA definition of being passed for human use? Does WADA define what being passed fit for human use means?

Well I for one am not calling for the return of Warner, I actually don't mind T20 itself but the BBL scheduling is all wrong and we've already seen it compromise the form of players last year. Its already been said that other countries, even India, don't compromise their domestic long form...

How long will it last when we continue losing tests? Test cricket is the main driver for the games reputation and goodwill in Australia. Something that was addressed by the Argus review but not addressed by Sutherland and CA. They are destroying the game in this country and frankly I hope the...

Not just in cricket he's the worst sporting administrator in Australian sport in general.

Haddin's interviews on being selected have shown him to be a selfish ****wit who should not be near the team.
