[The Sleeping Giant]

This headline made me laugh!

Squeaky clean? I bet there was a cheer at footy park when the news broke.

[kickinit]

Have the players taken anything illegal? Was anything found in their samples?

do you really think players where taken off site for vitamin b and c injections? think of the cost of the people giving the injections hiring of the offsite place and compare that to the cost of a good multi vitamin. The area of what they where told they where getting and what they actually got sounds a bit grey to me. But ASADA say it's the athelete responsibility to know what's going into there body.

$30,000 for vitamins? You can get bags of oranges from the Riverland for next to nothing.
After the crap that was coming out of James Hird's mouth when Matthew Knights was shafted, do you really believe him?

seeing swisse is a sponsor of the afl i'm sure they could of got some very cheap. wonder how swisse feel about this.

but will be softened by the $900K in brown paper bags he gets a year ...

The average bloke/sportsman in the street could not launder $900k pa so I doubt any brown paper bag deal would ever exceed a grand a week or thereabouts

[kickinit]

Reading HIS side of the story doesn't exactly paint a good picture. Why was he importing a second hand fat cooker? Do you now where we can read asada's side of the story? Must have been more evidence than what Lees is telling.

can't find asada finding i'm sure it wouldn't be on the net. But in this article it states he was charged with attempted use of a prohibited substance violation. customs seized the product before he even got it, so he obvisously didn't take any. I do know of one company in america being shut down after traces of steroids where found in there products.

If the AFL is serious, they wont do anything but fine them, take away points and suspend them from the draft.

Anything else above that is just shooting themselves in the foot.[/quote]
Its not up to the AFL
WADA and ASADA pull rank and they will suspend players if required[/quote]

They will deal with the players but the AFL will trot out the "bringing the game into disrepute" line and deal with the club.[/quote]
But if 20-30 players get suspended like the media are alluding to there will be no club[/quote]
Suspend the lot and disband the league .... Lets go to the local country footy on a Saturday Arvo them go to the pub and watch re-runs of footy games from the 80's (when the Bombers could actually win a flag !)

With what has happened this week and todays "co-incidence" in ACC's findings Essendon look in some serious s***.

[Media Park]

The live updates page on AFL.com into the Essendon drama has been removed.

Dean Bailey has a ripper story about Paul Van Der Haar and his drugs of choice (see above) before a mid-week night game at VFL park in the 80s! Classic.

Not having much luck with ur clubs at the moment, I want be backing the bl&g cup to head back to gawler!

Lol

Not real flash, all I need now is to find out Man Utd have been cheating the system and bribing the refs all these years

That's the only one of your teams I'm hoping gets done

[mighty_tiger_79]

I find it hard to believe Hird didnt know what was going on!

[Turbo]

I find it hard to believe Hird didnt know what was going on!

If he did know he will look stupid. If he didn't know he is still going to look stupid.
