Paul Little
So we're not happy about the charge sheet being out.
Paul Little: Assertions not supported by evidence
Time of release not a coincidence
AFL has know since Feb that AOD was not banned substance
That the AFL knew this is unforgivable and reprehensible
Latest PR attack (charges)
Club had sought charges being released due to all what they deem as absolute inaccuracies
CLub maintains that we definitely not administered any illegal drugs
We have been trying to reword the charges and reach common grounds should club plead guilty to any charge
AFL was aware of the failing of the original charges
The revised charge sheet provided by the AFL (on the EFC website) shows that the 2 charge sheets are very different.
AFL is being belligerent and using today;s release as a PR exercise in light of last night's revelations.
EFC had shortcomings, and will accept penalties for poor governance
I cannot accept the point of view that we have taken illegal substances
Have lost total confidence in the AFL executive. Mike Fitz needs to step in.


James Hird
Given charges only minutes before releasing
Letter from Bruce Reid has been released to damage JH
Breach of process
Charges are being denied
Will be vigorously defended when given the opportunity to do so
AFL running agenda to damage EFC
I will contest these charges
AD and the AFL should recuse itself due to conflict of interest
ASADA report is Interim, no infractions
AFL and ASADA may have broken law
AFL knew since FEB that AOD wasn't banned
I have been denied natural justice, and today's release is an example of that.

So next question is, where do we meet the AFL to talk further. Stalingrad or Gettysburg?

Little's final comment. Hird up now.

Executive, not commission. He asked that the commission take over.

Very interesting point about the release of the letter from a confidential investigation, especially given that the report was an interim one. It looks a lot at this stage like the AFL and ASADA could both be in breach of the ASADA act/regulations regarding confidentiality of information.

Great work by the club on the whole there - put the facts out there with a timeline and let the public see how shifty Vlad and his team are actually being.
 
Wow.
Id have to watch it again to get a propper understanding of what was said, but from first listen it seems EFC is fed up with being given the short straw and has decided to go straight for the jugular.
To Andrew Demetriou and everyone else who's running the AFL - you had better know that were coming for you!

It was also mentioned elsewhere (cant remember specifics) by AD that the AFL has an open mind to the whole sitaution and they they have 'no predetermined result'.
How can it be possible for them to be open minded, yet have layed charges against Hird and co?

PS. i thought this would be appropriate.

Pretty much right, just edited a minor change in bold.
 
What a presser for me to miss. F*ck.

If anyone has a replay available, please link it straight away. I have to leave for work in half an hour :(
