Unbelievable. The AFL truly is a toothless tiger.
It's a disgrace David. I can't believe how this has been handled by the AFL and Essendon.

I already described my thoughts earlier about this whole issue so there's no need to repeat what I think about this whole debacle.

It gets interesting when the NRL guys are brining Essendon and particularly Hird's name into conversation.
Flanagan's supporters - and he has plenty - will argue it is ridiculous the Sharks coach has been handed the same suspension as Essendon AFL club coach James Hird.
They will reason how at Essendon, Hird oversaw a 12-month program involving thousands of progressive injections whereas at Cronulla, there were only a tick over 100 jabs in an 11-week window.

Any chance ASADA was waiting for the NRL to finish with the Sharks before they come down hard?

It's all over. Finished. Matter closed. Nothing to see here, move on............... :!:

What a bloody FARCE! Hird to return to coaching in 2015 without a problem.

And looks like the AFL sponsored hack media have put the issue to bed as well.

I will never forget the lack of integrity shown by Dimi and his AFL commission on this issue. It is a very sad reflection on how some matters can be put under the carpet for good without a problem or too many questions asked after a certain time lapse. Unbelievable...... :roll: :roll:
How about some patience Laz... I'm starting to think you want the outcome to be as Little prescribes for some perverse reason... reality is that it is not over until ASADA & WADA release their findings and I wouldn't put any credence into a speech by Little.

Patience!!! FMD!! I have had bloody patience since February!! Being patient is as useful as a chocolate teapot... :roll:

I want ACTION taken against the cheating Essenscum, not mere words of warning. And I'm beggining to doubt that I'll get what I want. :shock:

I want Essenscum brought down like a pair of nun's knickers... :twisted:

The final ASADA report hasn't been completed yet due to ASADA's inability to interview Stephen Dank, however apparently ASADA has new powers that means that Stephen Dank cannot avoid being interviewed by them relating to this whole situation.

The punishments that the AFL handed out to Essendon in late August relate to 'poor governance', not whether the players were being injected with prohibited substances hence this issue shouldn't be left alone or be overlooked now by the public or the media.
