They call it an independant review when Essendon F.C President David Evans is paying for it out of Members hard earned cash .????? 
This man has the makings of a brilliant politition. Next election good night and bye bye David. 
doubt finding a scape goat will save your neck.
If they ring me I'll do the review for a Grand and cold slab of VB. Starting with these first 2 steps.
1. Sack Bruce Reid. ( Has served the club with honour for many years but how on earth would the club doctor not know what players have been given.??????? If he did not know and he is subscribing other types of medications for players through out the year this would put players in a possible serious health risk.)
2. Sack James Hird. ( Sad, very sad, but I find it hard to believe a coach does not know what players are taking, whos coaching the club, the club mascot or something.?)
"A WHOLE TEAM ON ILLEGAL SPORTING DRUGS AND NO ONE KNOWS NOTHING AT THE CLUB." Wonder if Essendon's 50,000 members believe in Santa and Leprecauns as well, very thick lot I reckon.?

can't wait for collingwoods turn... i just hope their investigations include brain scans...just to check whether they've been taking dope or just are dopes.

Don't know why the brought in Ziggy, he is decades old, surely Sol would have been a better choice.
Surprised if the Pies never had a couple like the rest of the AFL clubs. BUT A WHOLE TEAM, Bombers being caught is like one big orgy, all caught in bed at the one time. 
with the President and committee on top. Demitriou has had 10 years to get on top of Illegal Sporting drugs, Tanking and Throwing games where financial gain can result. He must go at the end of the season as well, too busy marketing and protecting the product and not enough hard line decisions. At present he's sounding exactly like the guy on the TAC adds, not very inventive. The AFL Boys club days are coming to an end after this disgrace proffessional administrators must take over. I VOTE FOR JEFFREY KENNETt, one time President of Australia. His the man.

you should get in bed with caroline wilson... another imbecile that just makes **** up that they haven't got the slightest clue about. Jeff Kennett.... what a laugh, an even bigger imbecile than you and wilson... he'd completely fk up the afl as we know it. Demetriou doing a great job imo with respect to drug taking in the afl. All this bs is just a huge smokescreen for a govt. desperate to take some heat out of the front pages of the countries newspapers. turkeys like you can't see that and start flapping your wings and beaks around.
hear hear VeryLTU!!
Those that cant see that most of this is political driven GARBAGE have their heads well & truly planted up their arse - Come up & smell the roses, life's too short for all this BS!

How on earth there has not been an Extra ordinary meeting of Members at Windy Hill amazes me, their coping it up the kyber pass at every angle in the book. No reguard for members what so ever. A disgraceful situation. Wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars of members money on an Essendon in house inquiry for Ziggy Stardust to save their necks for 12 months.
Essendon captain Jobe Watson has admitted for the first time that he believes he was administered the banned drug AOD 9604.
Watson said he had signed a consent form last season that included permission to administer AOD 9604, which the World Anti-Doping Authority has deemed to be a banned drug.
"My understanding after it being given through [club doctor] Bruce Reid and the club is that I was receiving AOD, yes," Watson said on Fox Footy's On The Couch.
He said he believed the substance to be legal at the time, but confirmed: "it was what I was told I was being given".

Watson said the supplements program, under the supervision of controversial scientist
Stephen Dank, had been a "new frontier for us".
"The experience of having that many injections was not something I had experienced in AFL football before," he said.
Watson said he was surprised when he discovered in May that WADA had listed AOD 9604 as a banned drug.
"The understanding we had through the advice we got and from the medical doctor at the football club was that it was a legal substance."
The Brownlow medallist said he did not expect Essendon players to be sanctioned. "It's my belief that we have done nothing wrong," he said.
"I don't have a feeling of guilt. All I want is the truth to come out.
"It's not impacting on me. It's not a cloud that's hanging over me. I don't care how long it takes."

Mike you get to comment on things like this only when you learn how to spell properly, it's independent for fark sake!!!
Still I shouldn't expect anything less from a Pie's supporter

They're not next to one another on the keyboard and his spelling is consistently craap.

they got the wrong Ziggy,,,shoulda got Ziggytpunter,he'd sort the fockers
they got the wrong Ziggy,,,shoulda got Ziggytpunter,he'd sort the fockers
He is True Blue and would never waist Oxygen on bombers
Been away and catching up so
For what its worth and been a bombers man
So here's a Football Club, that has entrusted an expert in sports physiology,without, repeat WITHOUT him have produced previous findings.
Which means
EFC:So I guess we will be Guinea pigs ??
Danks:Yes like Test pilots.
My findings my detailed analysis of this new frontier supplements program says that this will elevate players to this or that higher/improved level of expertise with improved rejuvenations !.I know my stuff , others have said he knows he stuff.
EFC:Ok done agreed to.
Moving Ahead:
EFC to Player A: here's the deal based on expert recommendations you will be injected with a syringe with a dose of blah blah blah.
Player A: Fine
EFC:Forgot to mention are you familiar with a diabetic ?
Player A:Yes
EFC:Great, then unlike a diabetic you will only be injected with a syringe 50 !! repeat up to 50 times !!!
Are you fcuking kidding ??.
This great new frontier, this wondrous physiologic analysis, this advanced supplement program requires getting jabbed up to 50 fcuking times !!!
Rabies was once known for its requirement of up to 9 injections which has been modernized to 3.
But ahh this PhD with his Pink Bark discovery thinks 50 is the number.
Fine the bombers the maximum dollars.
Take away the Prem points for 2013(akin to Melbourne Storm, made them more resilient)
Based on ASADA's findings end of August show the exit door those that nodded their Wooden Heads to the whole concept.
If an Individual is going to accept up to 50 injections he/she is either a diabetic,or a regular user of the 'never let reality get in the way of drugs'
But a so Called Sports person?
Excuse me Michael Jordan mind if we jab you 50 times for the betterment of the Chicago bulls ??

Think the player are guilty of extreme naivety, I don't think any of them set out to cheat and that's from a diehard eagles fan who's sick to death of those red and black cretins staging miracle comebacks and beating us, yes I'm pointing the finger at you Watson, Carlisle, Lucas, Hird etc, etc.
bring on the player bans, loss of competition points for this year, draft penalties, fine, loss of Jab's Brownlow, public shaming, community duty, prison terms, death penalty for Dank.....
Bet the bookies aren't going to payout on everyone who bets against them during the season, think there's more chance of pigs flying before that happens. Suppose in that instance its just like a positive swab at the races, you just have to cop it, if you've bet against them.
I can't understand if some punters are decidedly unhappy though because its like having prior public knowledge that a horse has been doped but still been allowed to race.
It takes you into some very grey areas indeed legally, I wonder if some smart lawyer is already thinking of getting punters together and launching a suit against the bombers and the AFL for their losses, you can guarantee that some ambulance chaser is thinking of it.
This could potentially end up a god awful mess.

Sorry that should have read as I can understand if some punters not cant.
Would be much easier for everyone if the Bombers lose their next few games and drop out of finals contention imo
seems the were taking an S2 banned substance as well, some players at any rate
All betting suspended.
To be fair everybody should just get their money back and fair for Bookies to do a Reduction Rate of what Bombers were at start of year.
Morals of losing points and most of side Banned. Every team that has Played them should get the 4 points
Will be a Sad day for AFL, Should not of taken so long.

AFL boss Andrew Demetriou says he didn't tip off Essendon as he didn't know which club was under investigation by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA).
Demetriou has acknowledged he did phone Bombers president David Evans the night before the club reported fears its players had used performance-enhancing substances.
He said both the AFL and Essendon had been receiving calls from the media speculating about the use of supplements.

I still believe players will get suspensions.
The "I didn't know" defence has been tried many times b4 with wada and asada.
They don't care if you don't know (Ala Shane Warne amongst others).
They have to give suspensions or they create a precedent they don't really need.

In a statement released on Wednesday night, Essendon described Robinson as a disgruntled, disaffected and discredited former employee.
"The club acknowledges that Dean Robinson appears to be under an extreme amount of pressure as are a number of people who are employed at Essendon," the club said in a statement.
"However, the series of allegations made by Dean Robinson on Channel Seven tonight are totally without foundation.
