EFC players: Comfortable satisfaction not reached.

[The Falcon Strike]

Makes you think - if there was no wrongdoing and there was no evidence

Why was Hird so keen to shut down the investigation...

Regardless of the outcome - anyone thinking Hird has come out of this smelling roses is in lala land

 

[Duckworth]

I'm not satisfied with David Jones' statement.

Where is Myer?

This is a one-sided miscarriage of justice.

David? is at an undisclosed location - probably going ape ****ing batshit crazy!

 

[BigTacoBandit]

Is there any reason the decision on Dank is being delayed?

It would look pretty weird if he gets found guilty of administering a prohibited substance but the players are cleared of being administered a prohibited substance.

 

[LocalBomber]

Looking forward to this ASADA thread dying soon, and you can go back to worrying about your own clubs for a change.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Do lawyers give refunds? Essendon wasted a LOT of money for nothing!

Hird sold his house!

 

[Lance Uppercut]

can we get a roll call of all those posters who are now giving up AFL footy as promised?

 

[ManWithNoName]

Lol, where's the records? Are they down there? Is this a pic of Hirdy looking for the records?

It's okay mate. It's alright. You'll be okay.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

When is McDevitt's presser?

This will be good.

 

[Rack Watts]

Suffer out there all you haters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The bombers are here to stay!!!!!!!

*fedoraGuy.mpg*

 

[Malifice]

6 days off, 3 infractions, 1 serious.

For gods sake people, this isnt the Bay.

 

[Suma Magic]

Good news.

Can't wait to see Sydney play Essendon. I think the Dons will come out all guns blazing.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Hird sold his house!

You mean his investment mansion in Toorak? Don't worry. He has several.

 

[Catastic82]

Walking away from the AFL such a corrupt sport

Fantastic message it sends to athelics

 

[Art Corvelay]

Why the delay on the Dank announcement?

 

[Masto]

Asada fail. 785 days to build a case and not guilty. Embarrassing. I guess when you publically committed to a case you have to follow up. No Dank no compound pharmacy evidence. Plenty of scope for defamation cases here. This ain't over.

Maybe, maybe not. Its too early to tell until we know all the information and all the appeals have finished.

 

[Sydney Kicker]

I think they need an internal review for there disgusting and pitiful actions in this time.

I'm not going to make a call whether this is the right decision or not since I haven't followed the case with a microscope. However I see that the tribunal only said they were not sufficiently satisfied - they didn't conclude it didn't happen. Very similar to major cases in Spain (road cycling) and Russia (athletics) where the national administrators found the athletes not guilty then the case was elevated internationally. Given WADA sets the bar fairly low with proof and responsibility and ASADA have put a lot of effort into the prosecution I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't over yet.

 

[Dan Cooper]

WADA has just said they will come in and handle this...

Not over yet........

ASADA had nothing. Chose to play the game of bluff. Ended up showing the empty hand we'd long suspected was all they had. Bring in WADA. Let's see what they can do with an empty hand

 

[fabulousphil]

Where is GG

he should bask in the glory

the guy copped more than me, but he had better arguments than me

my argument was based basically on a gut feel of the belief in their innocence.

 

[Sad Don]

Listen to the conspiracy theorists now. The judges were got to I suppose. Lol!

God there will be the deluded who will think that.

 

[Rack Watts]

Fantastic message it sends to athelics

Drugs, he does them.

 

[peppy la pew]

Not at all. The club itself stuffed up and we were punished for it.

Not at all, your players have been found not guilty

Will you appeal to get draft picks reinstated, fines re paid ?

 

[clogged]

Why did anyone think half of Essendon's list would be suspended on the eve of the premiership season?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

You mean his investment mansion in Toorak? Don't worry. He has several.

Ok cool. I wouldn't have wanted him to have wasted a few million on a court cases for no reason.

His work is done.

 

[dmc333]

When is McDevitt's presser?

This will be good.

Don't need one. Tim Watson has already said ASADA and WADA are no chance to win an appeal.
