Essendon 2013

[Booney]

One of Cotchin's team mates is reportedly on his last strike for recreational drug use so that counts him out aswell.
Mitchell was 3rd but Buddy is alledgedly on the gear, Thompson was 4th but the Crows are salary cheats, Swan was next but he has been linked to drugs in the past.
Looks like Lenny Hayes wins it by default

And who is that tiger?

Big accusation to make considering you come from a club that takes performance enhancing drugs to finish outside the 8.

Only if you blokes had an excuse.

Onto the footy, anyone give them a decent chance tonight

Give us a chance but I think we will lose in a close one.
Usually tight games between us, worried that our forwards just dont score enough.
Can see it being a low scoring slug especially if its wet

this is one that can go either way. If both teams play their best I would think it would be a tight game, but if either side lay quiet for a bit it could be blown out.

Same excuse as the power I reckon...been shit! However it's an excuse for them making the 8 not missing it.

Watson admitted use of banned drug tonight on the couch. Throw the book at him and anyone else and definitely strip him of his brownlow. This is going to be a massive story when asada release their findings no matter what approach they take. If they give light sentences they will be ridiculed and if they get what they deserve it will have huge impact on finals series and Essendon for the next couple years.

Is it all the drug cheats that are signing up their contracts now to ensure they have a job for next 2 years or do contacts get ripped up if found guilty of doping?

Nothing new here, the club has always admitted that players were taking AOD but claimed it was legal at the time.
Guess we will find out in a few months

All over the media in Melbourne. Ignorance is no excuse or defence according to WADA or ASADA. Reckon Watson will lose his brownlow, points lost for the club this year, draft bans, and a massive fine will all be in the mix as the penalty.

[Johno6]

as long as I don't have to give the money back I won on Watson for the brownlow last year im happy.

[Banker]

Very arrogant move...

ASADA have a history of punishing ignorance.

2 year bans coming up all round.

How long did Shane Warne get?

[FOURTH ESTATE]

Couple of signings today.
Jobe Watson has signed a 4 year extension
Jackson Merrett has signed a 2 year extension[/
What happens if Jobe gets rubbed out after the ASADA investigation ??? Essendon putting out clauses in these contracts ??

Jobe was one of the handfull of players who didnt take part in the supplement program, he has no case to answer with ASADA

Not looking good now for the Bombers this will get ugly.

No drugs in the AFL. Yeah sure Andrew you dimwitted Idiot!!!!!!!

Your tenure as CEO is the most tainted in AFL history!!!!!!. Ignornace is your legacy

Drugs
Tanking.
Salary Cap cheating
Draft manipulation.

Have I missed anything!!!!

Well, seems like the information you got was rubbish or that nobody at Windy Hill has a bloody clue what went on.For mine, it's a good mix of both.

When quizzed on his supplement intake and if it was a banned drug he was taking "I understood the drug was legal at the time and that was what I was being given".

So he acknowledges that he agreed to take a drug that was banned at the time and tries to deflect attention towards "if thats all I was given" angle?This will be interesting.

His job is to protect the integrity of his company.

But performance enhancing drugs are completely out of his control

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS STATEMENT.

[woodublieve12]

Now that Jobe has admitted on national tv that he took a banned drug, what is the chances of his Brownlow being taken of him???

seems very odd he'd say something...

[FOURTH ESTATE]

But where does it end??

If this is happening at the top level it will be happening at grassroots level as well lets not be ignorant about this. Players today can get what ever they want if they have the right connections

[RustyCage]

They said on the news this morning on 7 that the drug he took was banned when he took it, and banned world wide, so he should have known. Even if the club said it was ok, the player is responsible for what's in his body

Who was runner up last year?
Give them the medal now.
