Jon Faine on 774 previewed his programme. He has a lawyer's perspective & echoed what a number of us have been saying:

If the AFL sanction any of the officials an injunction will be immediately issued.
The AFL's processes will be challenged for the first time and subject to a detailed legal examination by the Supreme Court.
There are major holes in the AFL's processes including MAJOR conflict of interest.
Given these conflicts of interest, it will be argued that a new independent body should hear charges.

He is well connected in the legal community & guaranteed that this would happen.

It will go straight to appeal.

Here we have a situation where the aggrieved party (the AFL) has complained to the prosecutor (the AFL) who have asked that issues be investigated by (the AFL).

From there, the charges are heard and decided upon by a jury (the AFL) and sentence is then given by a judge (the AFL).

FFS - even North Korea have a more robust judicial system than that.

AFL have made a meal of this. How Thompson can be charged yet other assistants who have been named as being jabbed have not been charged doesn't make any sense. How Robinson who was H.P Manager of 2012 misses out yet the 2013 H.P Manager cops it doesn't make any sense. Total balls-up because key figures who would faced the biggest penalties have resigned during the investigation period can no longer charged by the AFL so names have been drawn out of a hat to appease the media/Richmond and Carlton supporters.

WADA's John Fahey to @AFL_Nathan: AFL has acted under own code of conduct and there's nothing in that statement that concerns me at all.

Do not think wada coming over the top now.....:)

Didn't John Fahey come out a couple of months back and say that WADA has the ability to prosecute any case independently of ASADA/AFL if they believed there was a case to answer?

That will not stand up in court I don't think.

Ridiculous that no one has thought to challenge it before.

Even this would be unacceptable.

No acknowledgement of the person who made the comment of course, but can we have a stupid comments thread from the Trollsada board and other social media outlets?

Great call. It is actually fun to view the HTB - a lot of experts and desperadoes.

Let's do it!!

Any case would have to be prosecuted under the rules defined in the AFL's anti-doping code - WADA have no power in this matter beyond the power the AFL grants them via the code.

Carlton supporters are the funniest - cry me a river. Embarrassing.

I stand corrected - he actually came out and said that players (ie Jobe) could be held responsible for their use of AOD. He did also say that the ASADA investigation would determine any mitigating circumstances, so the crux of the matter is it looks like the players are OK from WADA's perspective.

The point about conflict of interest with the AFL commission prosecuting on behalf of the AFL was brought up on MMM a few weeks back and will come into play.
