So Heppell has a private sponsor - Isn't BF private sponsors of players.

No. We sponsor them through the club.

 

[Whispering_Jack]

No. We sponsor them through the club.

Heh, we

I've done it once or twice. I just got sick of the huge tags under my username and asked Chief to get rid of them.

Lol. Never seen vanity on a username before.

Correction, it was me. I did it sadly.

Anyway, back to Hepp...

 

[Shane Hird]

It's even on the morning radio news here in Perf.." Dyson Heppell could be looked at by WADA for appearing at his personal sponsor Essendon Kia motors"

Unbelievable.

 

[Doss]

It's his own personal sponsorship. Nothing to do with the club.

**** off WADA.

I just laughed thinking Perth radio outlets got nothing better to report than Heppell at a caryard.

Unbelievable.

AFL came out this morning and said that they have no problem with it.

ASADA said that it's the AFL's choice as they are imposing the punishment.

No problem here.

"Dyson Heppell could be looked at by WADA for appearing at his personal sponsor Essendon Kia motors"

um, yeah nah... pretty sure WADA doesn't give two hoots about what players are paid. But I'm sure the AFL is since i'm sure this would be included in the Salary Cap.

Just lazy reporting really

Sounds likely they want clicks/$

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Wada had their fun in destroying the players they can **** off now.

 

[Harlequin]

I hope Heppell doesn't drive a Kia

AFL's choice? Why aren't there clear rules about this? Makes it sound like the players could play round 1 if the AFL were ok with it (not suggesting this is a possibility).

Gil gave the question short shrift this morning - There are more important issues.

 

[ManWithNoName]

**** off WADA.

WADA aren't doing anything

 

[Doss]

Sentiment still applies.

 

[DapperJong]

**** Carlton and WADA

 

[Doss]

And Hawthorn.

But not Doise. He's awesome.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

WADA aren't doing anything

what apart from being the code owners and authors under which stupid association rules like this apply you mean?
The only reason ASADA is referred to is because they are basically WADA's lapdog.

I meant re Heppell. They're not doing anything to stop him working with Kia. Which is what that article was implying.

yes but the reason why people are unsure is because of the wada code. That's why it's even being discussed. Then you hear stories like Hooker not being able to enter club rooms. That is all on wada

Bloody hell it hurt seeing him on TV. Fit and firing and forced to sit out 2016. What a travesty
