Essendon face AFL probe/Players found Guilty by CAS

[Judge Roughneck]

IMO

It's pretty obvious - there were records of injects drugs. On paper. On computers.

And due to drug cheating...

They were destroyed


You can't tell me:  you injected a football club ten thousand times, or whatever, and no one wrote anything down in regards to what gear was going into which vein.  I don't see how Hird, the CEOs, dank, reid, bomber etc. don't go to prison for a long time for breaking medical / OHS laws. In this day and age the amount of rules against a undocumented  mass drug injecting club  program that including various drugs would be numerous

[tony_montana]

Of course there were records, anyone who thinks or even doubts there weren't any, is deluded. Football clubs monitor EVERYTHING, they know how many km's each player ran in week 3,7,15 etc of each preseason, they know their heart rates during each session historically and build a profile based on years of data - and yet they tell us records were never kept.. "look we even sacked Dean Wallis who was meant to be in charge of documenting it"  Someone should check out what Wallis is doing now and what sort of payments he's received/will receive for being the fall guy. Guarantee there will be something there.

Lets say they get away with their schoolboy the-dog-ate-my-homework excuse - Worksafe Victoria should be then shutting them down.

You can't abuse an ump publically you'll get fined and it will be documented.

Something like thousands of injections administered and I can see how that can get lost in the whole scheme of things.

Maybe the paperwork got lost in the move from Windy Hill to Tullamarine?

The document storage company has a lot to answer for.

[Judge Roughneck]

If you give it some thought - it all makes Mark Thompson "we cure, not cause cancer" (or something crazy to that effect) all the more alarming. You are performing this miracle and yet it was somehow not documented? Talk about the elephant in the room.

if this was a country club or an Amos team that would be anal rammed by the powers to be.

I know the afl is powerful and has a lot of money but I am unsure how long the EFC can hide behind them. The spiral of lies is so contradictory that I am very much looking forward to the movie.

[Francois Jackson]

So anyway what's going to happen to these cheats

9th again. Tigers into 8th?

[Smokey]

How funny would that be!!      

[Hellenic Tiger]

How funny would that be!!      

Beat Collingwood or Nought at the G.

[Francois Jackson]

Can anyone tell me if this court case has anything to do with the players and their notices

From what I remember they have yo accept it by a certain date to be allowed the lenient punishment

Newsflash - Essendon has established James Hird's new role for round 23 when he returns to the fray. >>

Dean Robinson lists 17 subpoenas in fight against Bombers, AFL

Former Essendon fitness chief Dean Robinson has handed out 17 subpoenas as part of his $2 million court case against the Bombers, with former club chairman David Evans even asked to explain any investment opportunities he may have had with peptide and supplement companies.

As revealed by Fairfax Media on Sunday, Robinson's lawyer David Galbally has lifted the stakes in his client's unfair dismissal claim. The names of those subpoenaed were released in the Supreme Court on Monday, although it emerged that suspended coach James Hird, caretaker coach Mark Thompson, club doctor Bruce Reid and former football boss Danny Corcoran had not been ordered to hand over documents relating to Robinson's demise and the club's controversial supplements program.

AFL chief Gillon McLachlan, his predecessor Andrew Demetriou, Hird's wife Tania, former Essendon chief Ian Robson, current chairman Paul Little and News Corp journalist Mark Robinson were among those subpoenaed.

Interesting to see two Essendonian members now involved!!!

 

[Judge Roughneck]

Is ok robbo

Just keep writing crap

[one-eyed]

THE Bombers board faces a challenge from supporters, including former players and board members, who are unhappy over its handling of the supplements saga.

Essendon’s annual general meeting in November is looming as a showdown that will involve some of the club’s most influential supporters.

It is possible multiple tickets will challenge the Paul Little-led board, which remains deeply divided on matters including the return of James Hird as senior coach.
