And you're not concerned with the fact that over 90% of those issued with SC notices get hit with infractions?

I think there's a lot of false bravado on this board and that deep down many EFC supporters are shitting themselves. Not saying you are.
IIRC that figure is close to 96%, SC = IN, but the percentages don't bother me. Even if the joint investigation is ruled invalid, I truly hope the EFC (et al) follow due process, and reply to the SC notices in a timely manner. I would not be satisfied with a moral victory based on law, I would prefer exoneration on the basis of no banned substances were used (notwithstanding AOD 9604, but that's another story).

As for false bravado, personally, I am too ****** lazy to try and flog a dead horse. If I really felt the EFC were on a hiding to nothing, I couldn't be bothered devoting the effort to try and counter alternate viewpoints, to the ones I hold. I subscribe to the belief that it is better for ten guilty men be found innocent, than one innocent man be hanged.

Based on this thread, and many similar - I read the same posters, both pro and anti the EFC, and I draw the same conclusions. At this stage (SC) the onus is on the players and the EFC to prove their innocence, or the cases will progress to the ADRVB. But then the onus of greater probability of a doping violation occuring is borne by the evidence ASADA takes to the panel. I take solace in the tweets of the ex-CEO of ASADA, prior to Andruska, that this is not as easy as ordering at Macca's. https://twitter.com/ringsau. This bloke appears balanced and knowledgable, and certainly "in the loop". I trust his opinion far beyond the "baying for blood" banshees, that dominate our MSM press.
 
Years involved in sport at high level helps immensely and watching drug cheats try to worm their way of their predicament helps in the understanding. As I said I know this system better than you ever will.
34 SC notices tell you there's lot of evidence ready to go. Any idiot know that unless you're deluded. They certainly won't be issued unless they know they can win in the CAS. Difficult to get your head around or do we have to dumb it down further for you?
I suggest you man up and accept the position you're in. It'll help when the walls inevitably come tumbling down on you. Spin and hope won't change that situation.
As an obvious NESB poster, may I enlighten you to a few standard protocols before responding. In Straya, we use punctuation, and avoid bravado, innuendo, and degading tautology.

Par. 1: How can you possibly know what my knowledge base is on this topic?
Par. 2: Aren't we getting ahead of ourselves here? It is a hell of a long way from crossing this bridge, isn't it? And who are we?
Par. 3: I reiterate, I have no need to "man-up". I am not in any position of concern to anyone of interest.
 
Wouldn't have thought so, surely he deserves to go down with the rest of the Essendon players here.
Dank is not part of the current Court action by the EFC & Hird. The only reason the players (sort of but not officially) got roped in is because the Court Action is to suppress the evidence and investigation gathered on them. Dank's SC situation is on it's own living in limbo (at least in terms of what has been reported).

I think it is curious that EFC and the judge didn't want Dank joined. In reality he is in a similar situation to the players - a SC notice has been issued and if he is found guilty it would be as damning for EFC as the players being found guilty. Perhaps he was not interviewed in the same "joint" way by AFL/ASADA.

I just think it's because he is not mentioned in any shape or form as part of the Court Action.

Danks was well in train before the "self reporting"

Maybe. But EFC could have included him just as easily as they included the players.
Dank was not interviewed or a specific part of the process of the joint investigation, not sure he has the need to be.

More to the point, I don't trust what Dank would say either way, would say, IMO, what ever is in how own personal best interest.
