David Evans press conference to release findings of internal investigation

[Sharks On A Plane]

That two pharmacologists are apparently in Essendon's corner should come as no surprise. In criminal trials, for example, both the defence and prosecution inevitably manage to find and pay for 'credible' experts whose opinion's support their positions, no matter how ludicrous.

I have even seen this operate in drug trials where two experts will have conflicting opinions on whether the composition of a particular substance classifies it as illicit.

 

[DonsRule]

You choose to have a semantic argument about the phrase PED?
Let me rephrase it for you...

many people I have spoken with agree with tron b. they are displeased with your club for bringing this systemic prohibited substance taking into our game (substances which have the potential for serious long term health risks). regardless of anything else that happens, essendon have already bought our game into disrepute.

And, perhaps we'll wait to see what prohidited substances were taken.

Yes, the club make mistakes that should not have happened.

If ASADA cleans Essendon and players, will the same stance apply, because as of now, no one has been charged with that, Than, perhaps people are just bought by media perception.

I'm merely saying wait for all the facts to be known.

David Evans has no credibility so it does not matter what he says.

On the contrary successful people actually know he has plenty of credibility and would bend over backwards for him. Of course they don't form their views from BF or newspaper articles.

 

[Purple Suit]

Patrck Smith the one eyed Essendon supporter.. it gets better.

Essendons credibility in the eyes of the Football Community is GONE. *vanished*

He's actually been calling for Hird's head for just about the whole investigation. Don't know any Essendon supporters who have done that or are likely to in the future.

 

[bugalugs213]

Hes put his head on the block by putting his 3 year contract on the line by having a members vote on it in... November lol.

 

[pinot]

When tests from Germany are released in August/September regarding the long lasting effects of AOD, Thymosin, Pigs Brains, Calfs Blood , First Milk from Mothers Cow...and other such nonsense. Mr Evans better pray the results come packaged nicely.. or else his Directorship will be in jeopardy.

 

[Outstanding]

haha sounds like a lot of offended supporters on here , why dont you worry about your own club being 2-4 or 3-3

Nothing to worry about, we are all going to be jumping a spot on the ladder soon

Until today.

The backflip was given 8 by the Russian judge, such was the spectacular display.

It's not a contract!

He is the Club Chairman, who was re-voted in, in just last year's election. Club Chairman's/Presidents don't have contracts.

I could have written that bloody review on what was available in the public domain in an afternoon. And gone harder.

 

[Furn2]

The report was a bit more in depth than I thought it would be.

I was expecting this.


6-0

 

[Bloodstained Bomber]

I could have written that bloody review on what was available in the public domain in an afternoon. And gone harder.

But of course you would never be asked to...

 

[mxett]

I wasn't suggesting shouldn't have been made. I think the point I was making is that is didn't need to be made as this was a governance report but it was made anyway. You would think that he has a bit of confidence that they are in the clear. Whether that confidence is justified remains to be seen.

I honestly cannot imagine he would have said this, and reiterated it on 3AW if this wasnt true. Otherwise he will look like a total dick

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

why do you come up with constant non-sequiters? The poster I responded to was whinging about being threatened with losing draft picks, so I want to know what draft picks they lost for him to be having a sook about it

Its relevant. At the end of the day they didnt get punished as badly as they could have because they were only guilty of failure to control a junkie. They didnt cheat as Essendon has been accused of doing.

Like someone else posted, you can always hire expert opinion to back your case...........Time will tell.

I'm sure a Nth supporter would have written a balanced report.....

Maybe a player will roll over. Nobody loves a drug cheat, but a young player, coerced into cheating, turned whistle blower may gain some public sympathy, and a shorter ban. You can rebuild a career with only six months off, 2 years would be a lot harder.

yeah, I said as much a couple of weeks ago. It wouldn't surprise me if one of the kids panics and drops everyone in it. Some of them are barely out of high school and 2 years without footy is like a death sentence. Especially if you were a late draft pick.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

so it was utterly irrelevant, as I was pointing out. Thanks for your input.

I'm sure the last thing Essendon want to hear is "yeah it'll be fine". They would have asked these 2 respected physicians to give them an honest review of the safety and legality of the supplements they took. At least then they would be prepared for any impending appeals if needed.

I don't know why the Roos supporters, aren't sticking to the thread that has the most replies on their board ever.

I have never wanted to see them fold & still don't, but I will never buy another membership to help them again, after the crap their supporters have been making.

AOD -- has no HGH effect.
Thymosin -- not necesarily banned
pigs brain -- not banned
calf blood -- not banned
first milk -- not banned

So you were saying....

I can't speak for any other than myself but I would very much appreciate it if you never tainted the NMFC revenue pool with your money ever again.

I seriously hope thats a joke

 

[The Prosecutor]

Robinson has been stood down not sacked though? Dank was a no brainer. Hamilton left of his own accord:



So really, only Dank has been sacked.

Trust me, he didn't walk.
