SALADA/VladFL: Slap on the wrist. - STRICTLY ESSENDON SUPPORTERS ONLY

[hurlygurdy]

Completely ridiculous statement; the investigation of substances has not yet finished so they simply cannot make a call on that yet. Don't count your chickens.

Rubbish. If they haven't got anything they can get to stick by now then there is nothing coming. Players are free to respond this weekend on the field and should have wings on their feet. Almost pity North. No wait... I really don't

 

[The Speaker]

gonna take a lot to take points away from youuuuu
there's nothing that the media or vlad can ever doooooooooooo

 

[Matthew_Lloyd]

HTB full of people going "no! it can't be! it's unpossible!".

And the best part is their royal saviour, the all-conquering WADA can't do jackshit because of the lack of evidence

 

[Debating Society]

Dank won't talk.

In what way? He's required to based on law changes which passed on the 1st August.

I reckon ASADA are waiting til the right time to interview him - and that is AFTER they have gathered all their evidence from their NRL investigations which involve him too. It's looking bright on the player front, but FAR from over.

 

[lmaohelp]

Honestly, why is everyone relieved that it seems the players are to be cleared? Under AFL Drug Policy, the players are clear, but what about ASADA and WADA? Surely their rules trump the AFL ?

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

So if the charges don't stick, by definition that would mean that the AFL Commission has brought their own game into disrepute, wouldn't it?

Could be sued for defamation? Well Caro at least.

 

[Aussie Assault]

Dank has been on a regional radio program called Sports Day with Terry Wallace & some Tony bloke. Hes been talking to them for a good 10-15mins. Well worth looking for a podcast. Hes been very open on it.

He'll offer his assistance to Essendon & believe that we'll use it.

Gave his reasoning for not speaking to ASADA.

He also mentioned chasing 2 senior journalists for their guinea pig comments and will take that through the courts.

Told viewers and Dons fans that we need to have faith and the fight is far from over.

Its by far the most I've heard him talk about it all. Called the AFL a kangaroo court & think we'll still go to the courts where we can have it heard in a proper environment.

That would be the same a dividing by zero.. we all know what happens then

 

[rines]

how confident are you the coaches will be cleared?

This is a grey one. This is the situation I find most LIKELY...

The four will not accept ANYTHING that means being labelled as a cheat or involved in deliberately bringing game into disrepute.

I can see a situation where they get to have a transparent hearing where they acknowledge they made mistakes, they over looked individuals, they should have been more vigilant. I see the AFL then offering fines in the area of 20K-100K each with no suspension. Each will be required to sign certain clauses to make sure the AFL isn't smeared.

So not 'cleared' but I don't see ANY suspension holding up in court.

 

[Jobe Watson]

In what way? He's required to based on law changes which passed on the 1st August.

I reckon ASADA are waiting til the right time to interview him - and that is AFTER they have gathered all their evidence from their NRL investigations which involve him too. It's looking bright on the player front, but FAR from over.

He is required to turn up to the interview. He doesn't have to answer any questions he feel may incriminate him.

Dank has said repeatedly, on national TV, that he did NOT give our players TB4. He won't change his story for ASADA's sake. They will get nothing from him - he hates them with every bone in his body.

 

[PeaTea]

Soooooo I guess the next step is to lynch Caro?

Whatever happens, I'm looking forward to her next article.

 

[rines]

Also everyone jumps to 'worst case scenario' for these charges..

But there is NOTHING to prevent all five charges to be solved with a 'reprimand' or 'fine'.

If we don't get that.. we will be going to court.

I hope the players can relax about it and get back to playing some footy.

I LOVE the statement by the club. Take that and smoke it... lots and lots of hints in that one.. oh and before you ask Caro.. HIRD WILL BE COACHING IN THE FINALS!!!!

Did fap.

Hopefully its time now for this "truth" element to come out that James Hird has been takling about for such a long time now.

Attack is sometimes the best form of defence.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

I read this as follow:

players are fine.

I respond:

**** YEAH!!!!!

Five charges? So the club was charged as well as the 4 individuals?

 

[Dont be a lemon]

Hird, Thompson, Corcoran, Reid: all replaceable.

Club should put full efforts into minimizing penalties regarding player recruitment and future premiership points.

I think it will have to wait for a fortnight going by the statement.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

So what about Dean Robinson? He gets off scot free.

No case to answer apparently. The most immediate manager responsible has no case to answer. You'd hope that is not the final word on that matter.

Completely disagree. But we're all entitled to opinions

Say that to Paul Little's face.
