Did Reid, Evans, Hird and Robson live on separate continents in 2012?

[r_boy]

The problem for the doc wasn't the letter, it was never following up on it, and apparently not raising this issue any further.

It can happen, hears nothing in response to his letter and assumes yet again he has been ignored over Dank. If this is what he thought though, he should have either made a bigger noise or resigned. Silence unfortunately makes him complicit in the whole mess (and I mean unfortunately because everything you read indicates he is one of the good guys in footy)

That's absolute bullshit.

This letter ?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

It's kind of sad that Essendons defence is we are not cheats we are just really really incompetent

Don't forget the "cowboys" who just went completely rogue, unbeknonwsnt to anyone at the club.

It's the chopper alibi.

"Look, all I can tell you I've already told Mr Beasley. None of us saw anything. It was just one of those things. Bluey Barnes was reading a magazine, Ambrose Hatcheson was taking a piss, Johnny Price was washing his hands, Jimmy Loughnan was watching a bullant crawl across the table, and I was watching Jimmy watching the bullant."

 

[Leather Poisoning]

That's absolute bullshit.

Well constructed argument right there!

 

[Leather Poisoning]

The rogue mad scientist angle seems convenient, but could also be true.

If Hird and /or others were part of a team that knowingly and successfully looked for and found a loophole, then what? Who will sanction them for running experiments on unproven substances and not checking the safety until after the fact? ASADA, AFL, AFLPA or none of the above?

 

[Barry Zuckercorn]

I have heard that Essendon have since invested in an Amiga 500 PC and an Amstrad Dot Matrix printer so records of these types of correspondences can be kept safe.

Essendon, pioneering for the rest of the AFL. Again.

 

[Barry Zuckercorn]

obviously none of you have ever attended a university. Letters, assignments, the whole lot gets lost all the bloody time. It is not a infrequent event for stuff to go missing. But hey, keep making up all the stories you want and adding your own slants. to them. What can we make up and post about the bombers today and their supporters better believe and listen to what we say! You've probably amassed 15% of the actual information from this investigation yet you are all dead set certain Sherlock Holmes in the making. As an Essendon supporter giving the benefit of the doubt to the club until it is all in the open is the best we can do - then when its all clear we will make our judgements. I daresay any of you dickheads would do the same for your clubs

hahahahahahahaha

Do you work at Essendon? You should. You'd reach the top of their "corporate" ladder before lunchtime on your first day.

I don't want to encourage you, but that gave me a good chuckle.

You're hardly complicit because you raise your concerns and then don't resign when they're not listened to.

Complicit would be to know exactly what was going on and not say anything. Clearly not the case.

Dr Reid briefing Essendon management:

......I don't know why you had to go out and get this "Dank" fellow to mess around with my existing program, young Heppell was progressing very nicely with my leeches......

 

[black_spankie]

apparently there was a "work experience kid" who was told to deliver the letter to "somebody important" but his dog ate it.

That's better

 

[Bigeasy]

Sounds like Essendon are building a case AFTER the fact. The fact Dr Reid's letter remained unanswered (apparently due to non delivery) and that it was never followed up reeks of convenience in that the blame is being directed towards incompetence and may have then lead to the Ziggy report sham which confirmed this problem of incompetent governance.

Essendon appear to be hiding the truth by surrounding it with layers of bullshit and furphies.

Another missing letter, I guess the shredder was working overtime.

And Evans is trumpeting this just as the players go in for interviewing. Think he is sending a message to them?

 

[r_boy]

Seriously though I think everyone can imagine an old fart like Reid writing out a letter in non-sensical doctor scribble.

It is probably still being translated into english.

 

[campbell]

so much for clinical oversight and governance.

 

[Ned_Flanders]

That's absolute bullshit.

If he had concerns, why not address them in person, demand to be heard?

His role as a doctor means his number one duty is the health and wellbeing of the players. By STFU and letting practices continue which he had concerns about, he was effectively endorsing these practices.

Quit, scream from the mountain tops, do something - meekly shutting up helps no-one

 

[blackshadow]

Haha, I didn't realise it was handwritten.

Did he use a quill and ink pot? Fine vellum?

And a wax seal.

It seems he didn't STFU, and therefore, did not endorse the practices.

Secondly, and has been mentioned ad infinitum, the likelihood is he did raise this stuff verbally. I.e, he did not live on a separate continent.

But yes of course he is complicit in illegal drug cheating. You idiot.

 

[r_boy]

I wouldn't be calling anyone but Dank complicit just yet.

Firstly he did after he sent his letter, that was last year, how many months did the program continue after that?

Secondly this has been denied, didn't speak to Evans, didn't speak to Hird, who did he speak to? The mascot?

Finally, if you agree with this, why did you disagree with it initially?

And whats with the hostile tone?
