[Timmy from Thomastown]

I want to hear more about these erotic supplements he refers to

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Evans is such a muppet.

I think he's outstanding and is doing a great job today as well

 

[SE_Blue]

Erotic substances were obviously viagra for Fletcher.

 

[Bluelegs]

A plea to ASADA to use lube

 

[coryne]

So you think that the fact that he knew AOD9604 was still undergoing human trials, yet it was still administered to the players, was Evans doing a "great job" ??? The guy could have stopped this whole saga before it started ...............

 

[teknodeejay]

This press conference wasn't necessary. A whole lot of PR driven rubbish.

Evans still thinks he's in a tenable position despite "all these things happening under my watch that I must apologize to everyone for".

6. Administrative processes

A number of normal business processes were either not complied with, or too easily circumvented during this period.
• EFC contractors placed orders on suppliers outside normal procurement and authorization processes with EFC listed as the purchaser. This included acquisition of exotic compounds that may or may not have been intended for use by the Club.

Ok then.

 

[Deepthroat]

Looks like they've nailed the culprit.

Mr Drew Diligence.

I expect he will get his marching orders so the innocent can get on with the job.

 

[Nomore4s]

Was he doing a great job when he let Danks and his shonky mates have free reign at the club that lead to this mess in the first place?

 

[fishardansin]

DAVID EVANS SCRATCHED NEAR HIS EYE WHEN HE SAID THE PHARMACOLOGICAL EXPERTS HAVE MADE HIM CONFIDENT THAT NO-ONE WILL BE SUSPENDED!!

That is it ... we're totally faaaarked now!!

 

[Bennett.]

I can't help but feel that even if we were to be cleared of all this, people will still complain and denigrate us and won't be happy until
we have Evans and Hird's heads on a pike outside AFL headquarters.

I wasn't aware he hired them actually. I guess you need to have some concepts of chains of command to comprehend the issue

As he said, he will stand for re-election to the Essendon board in November. Now if the membership votes him back in, he'll most likely continue as club chairman. If he doesn't then it'll be someone else in charge.

As a member, I am entitled to a vote. Will I vote for Evans and his team again? I have no idea at this point.

Ziggy disagrees with you, way to much delegation and abrogation of responsibility at Essendon.



5) The CEO must be accountable for everything that happens within his organization.
Coaches cannot bypass him, and boards must work through him. If commercial priorities consume his time and attention, steps must be taken to ensure proper oversight of football operations.

Buck stops at the top. Surely it is his responsibility to have checks and balances in place so stuff like this doesn't happen?

 

[Defacto]

"there was some confusions as to whether or not the playing list could be interviewed"

even after all this shit, they still cant manage a thing right. bloody hell

 

[Lance Uppercut]

I couldn't hear a lot of the presser being at work but what was the go with the medicare stuff? Any idea anyone?

Um, is David Evans the CEO is he?..

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

CEO reports to the board, in particular the chairman. So yep, buck stops with both of them.

Evans and Hirds heads are one thing but the players who took the illegal substances should be sanctioned with bans (min 6mths) and the club should lose all premiership points for 2013.
Only this will appease the masses.
