Yeah actually it does, it makes them guilty

Of stupidity, of blind faith, of taking illegal supplements

Not sure you're reading what I'm saying. Perhaps the thing I just posted on Facebook makes my argument clearer - either way, I think simply repeating that they're 'guilty' isn't really engaging with my argument, which is that the issue of guilt in this case is at the very least complex.

All the players are in denial.

Stolen but apt

The Players maybe did not join the dots, but the implications of their situation was obvious to anyone capable of looking at the information objectively.

Ask the players.

How many injections did you receive? (lots)
What was the intent of these injections? (to improve infield performance)
How isn't this drug doping and outright cheating?

^ You know what's discomforting about that formula? It's well known that our club, and every other AFL club as far as we know, gives its players injections and supplements too. What purpose do they serve other than to improve performance? Essendon just took it to the next level.

I wish it wasn't the case, but that seems to be how things are in the AFL nowadays.
