More "the dog ate my homework" and "TB4 really isn't performance enhancing" crap from Dank. The more he speaks, the more the CAS decision was on the money.

Ch 7 news saying it will be all 34

They will continue serving their suspensions

AFL commission likely to defer a decision on the Brownlow until after the appeal

Essendon to foot the legal bill via their insurers

Also heard Chip LeGrand on SEN he pointed out that these appeals of CAS decision have very rarely been successful

Any idea when the appeal will be held? Hopefully mid year so the flogs sit out some time

Bottom line it's another year that will only be remembered for one thing. idiot of an organisation this mob

I think there's an understanding that even if they are successful they won't be able to play in '16. Its more about clearing their names, hence needing the approval of insurance first.

They can use a line from one the old World Series Cricket C'mon Aussie ads for next year's membership campaign - "They've been training all the winter and there's not a team that's fitter..."
"Much of the social history of the Western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing what worked with what sounded good...."

Chip Le Grand said this is likely to drag on another 6-12 momths

Can't keep up with this sorry state of affairs

The AFL has ruled that Port Adelaide, St Kilda, Western Bulldogs and Melbourne will not be permitted - as Essendon have been - to contract replacements to cover for their losses.

Aah no he didnt

He did write an exceptionally good book on this sorry state of affairs,  it is a very balanced account and becuase of that it  is extremely damning of the EFC and one James Hird

Zuggest yuo read it, moght learn a few things

Have you read the book?

And did you read what i wrote?

I said that his book is very balanced and as a result it is extremely damning of the EFC & Hird

Do you undertand that, can i make it any clearer for you. How about this..  the book gives out some mighty whacks

Clear?
