CAS decision Tuesday AM. Countdown on.

[threesixpio]

Hey. No shit - Jobe Watson is having brunch at the next table right now!

Is he pro active with ordering food and asking questions or did is he just let the waiter bring over recommended dishes?

 

[Proper Gander]

Was he wearing the Brownlow?

No. Under the circumstances he's probably eaten it

 

[Proper Gander]

Is he pro active with ordering food and asking questions or did is he just let the waiter bring over recommended dishes?

From my lip reading, I'm pretty sure he asked for the good coffee

 

[Ron The Bear]

Have heard from someone with close Essendon ties that the club is expecting the players to be found guilty, but won't miss games. Also that Hird is persona non grata.

 

[Ron The Bear]

No chance in hell this is over either way.

James Hird is considering an appeal to Xenu, as long as someone else pays.

 

[Armchair Critic]

My understanding is that Hird wasn't at the information meeting - It was run by Dank and Robinson.

Not according to Hal

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

From my lip reading, I'm pretty sure he asked for the good coffee

Chuck him on.
See if he'll do a quick Q&A for us here on the HTB. I'm sure he wouldn'tt mind.

No matter how close the source is, CAS wouldn't hint at the verdict so that doesn't say anything

 

[Linda_Lovelace]

My tip is not guilty but some pretty serious comments re the whole program and call for changes to the code.

And for information to be released.

Doc Reid wrote his letter in January 2012 after discovering players had received injections that he didn't know of, of a substance he didn't know of. Are you saying he lied?

The hand written letter that means no date stamp. No proof when that was written. Doc Reid's role is one of those mysteries we will never know.

Hey. No shit - Jobe Watson is having brunch at the next table right now!

Can't really have brunch before 9am I wouldn't have thought.

Maybe still on British time zone and having a pint?

Wish I had now. He wandered off in the general direction of Albert Park. Or Middle Park maybe - I'm not certain where the boundary kicks in. He didn't seem to be heading to a car so could be a local? I'll go a door knock

Well connected in the legal fraternity which has shaped the club's expectations.

 

[Marley10]

Tbh, it would be reckless to just assume the best possible scenario, so of course they would prepare for a guilty finding.

 

[the_interloper]

Maybe still on British time zone and having a pint?

Probably, what a great leader he is!

 

[Perry Pie]

I am really glad we are at the end of this now and it will soon be over - it has been too long.

Whatever is decided by CAS it is time to deal with that outcome and move on from Tuesday.

 

[Red Bull]

Tell that to the players who say they don't know what they were injected with ...

 

[Percel]

I did note he had a hole in his t-shirt

Was it located in the back of his t-shirt?

Was there a knife protruding from said hole?

Was there a guy wearing this outfit close by?

 

[sobrave]

Guilty with 2 year bans and no backdating.

Except gus and ryder who are good blokes(TM) who were deceived by the Hird regime.

 

[sobrave]

Can't really have brunch before 9am I wouldn't have thought.

Hirdy heard that Collingwood were having brunch at 9:30 so he had to go one better

 

[threesixpio]

From my lip reading, I'm pretty sure he asked for the good coffee

nah - he knew what he was doing - he wanted the shit coffee

 

[NoAFLinmycomp]

Another of the pre-outcome, summary pieces. "Generation Lost"? Ugh, hardly.

[Boxhead_31]

seems club will find out earlier then others
View attachment 205604

So the club finds out at 07:30 how many players they are to be without. Then at 08:30 the AFL announce their spin on the situation?

 

[tigerdan]

Surely the AFL have two speeches prepared, one on blue paper the other on red. The hour delay just let's them do a quick run through. Quite possibly change the background sponsor banner too.

 

[boncer34]

If only the AFL hadn't run away when he challenged them yeah? Would've been good to see the evidence they had against him and what he had in his defense.

 

[GOAUS!]

A CAS decision can be appealed to the Swiss Federal Supreme court but they only deal with procedural matters from my understanding so this is hopefully it verdict wise.
