Mark Robinson interviewing James last night a good example of how low this idiot is. And, did he look in the mirror before stepping on to national television last night? Does he have a wife? Surely a loved one would not let you look like that in public let alone TV. :confused:
 
Whats going on?
I know there are drugs in sports but when you make accusations like this you want to turn up to the party with more than an empty plate. They have basically vilified every sports person out there.
Well at least Labor knows how to make friends.

I basically read articles like the one I linked above as I initially made an accusation, and god damn, even if there is no evidence I am going to keep defiantly flinging mud until some of it sticks. No matter what anyone says or what actual evidence comes out I'm right and you're wrong. The media are like 12 year old kids, "yes, karma is a bitch" and hopefully one day some of these drama queens find out that karma doesn't discriminate between the hunter and the hunted.
 
On Offsiders this morning Gerard Whateley, Caroline Wilson and the rugby bloke (sorry, don't know his name, have no interest in rugby) all agreed that this was a very serious issue and those that thought it was a beat up were very, very wrong :frown: (paraphrasing). I suppose they all fell for the story hook, line and sinker and would look silly if they admitted they were wrong now :rolleyes:

I either think that they are very wrong, or they are very wrong, with the evidence presented thus far. Wilson is a token effort and the rugby guy was probably a rugby guy.
 
How does a government minister and the ACC come out with "blackest day" and yet we are given no proof? Test results are months off, aren't they? I don't understand this. Either banned substances were found to be in use or not. Please explain!!

Exactly. Plenty of people have worked on the principle of shooting first ask questions later. Essendon would be dirty that they "outed" themselves based on the (to date) non-existent evidence.

I disagree with you Duckman, to the extent that Essendon have "more information" than the public is allow to know.

It can be convenient for some parties to have knowledge of information, yet others (like the public) are not privy to the same information because of "ongoing investigations".

At the moment, regardless whether Essendon have or have not taken illegal supplements, they are the public face of "the blackest day in sport". A number of clubs have publicly stated that their fitness departments run similar programs. Dank has been involved at over 6 different footy clubs around the country and strongly denies any wrongdoing.

While Essendon may have more information than has been made public, if ACC and ASADA had any solid evidence you would have expected it to have come to light by now. In poker terms, Essendon threw their hand in way too soon. As a result it has been a PR disaster.

Fair enough Duckman, but what "information" did Essendon receive prior to the "big blow up" that I assume other clubs did not receive.

What was the "guts" of the "tip off" that Essendon recieved.

Who knows Macquack? That's why it is called a bluff.

For what it is worth, I think the Essendon officials were tipped off about "possible" breaches and while they had every confidence, Essendon couldn't be sure there hadn't been any. They went public and have since found that while ASADA have concerns about Dank, they don't have any concrete evidence.

Now we have a crazy 6 months of "investigations".

Duckman
 
Why don't they just come out and say something like "the ACC and ASADA have concerns that we (Essendon) may have been using banned substances. This is obviously what happened, so why treat the public like imbeciles.
 
I really haven't been following this thread and didn't realise the emotions involved.
I would have thought it was obvious, drugs were involved, the way everyone beat the Freo Dockers.
Weve been robbed.:cry:
 
There's one club up here that's known to get on the roids.

Didn't stop us taking out the flag yesterday.

What a weekend!!!

UP THE RATTTTSSSSSS!!!!!!

Pretty chuffed with that effort, although Adelaide looked a little lost.

We have been horrible against the Crows in Adelaide the past 10 years so extra impressive. Jobe, what a legend.
 
Adelaide won't make the 8 this year.
I'm a crows supporter and I certainly don't see
The fire or a structure that they left last season with.

Tippett gone is a huge loss. The forward line has Walker not Franklin
As the spear head. They need a multi pronged attack. The worst is
Yet to come for the crows.less than 50% wins is my prediction.

Thought I watched 2 mediocre sides crank up last might.
