This is a good outcome for the AFL and for the competition.
no its not, it just shows its a complete farce, all you have to do is shred the evidence, its now open season, whatever it takes.

Im with Dave on this one. Im furious, this is a farking disgrace, our two blokes will be the sacrificial lambs to the slaughter. Don't tell me the League didn't know about them weeks ago, kept it hidden, and they knew the Bummers would get off scott free, so our guys are to be sacrificed, to pacify the likes of Caro, Robbo, and the League honchos.
This stinks, its corruption at the highest levels, I am seriously of boycotting all things AFL if our guys go down for this shit and the Dons get off with bugger all penalty. Had a gutful of this League, I will always love the Pies, but the League is killing the game.
Stuff them, stuff them all. Go to hell AFL, stick your comp up your asses, good and proper.

What a joke!
ASADA and WADA must intervene.
AFL should also face sanctions. Any benefit of the doubt the AFL is given for investigating and taking action against doping in sport, should be removed.
The timing of Keeffe and Thomas also dodgy.

When Tim Watson this morning started defending the tribunal hearing the case - reporting that one particular member is so thorough that his rulings are never appealed.....I rang a mate and said they are off.
Wonder how he knew................

So are Dank and Hird going to come clean, be honest and let the players know exactly what they were injected with?
If they are not guilty of using PEDs there is no reason not to.
All the substances were obviously legal.

DO NOT watch Caro and co, Lyon, Lloyd tonight, jumping handsprings of joy that essendoper players got off, and our two will be sacrificed. If you don't want to have your blood pressure go up with anger, take my advice, do not watch Footy Classifieds tonight, with Caro and Lloyd going bananas with joy. ! Just sickening with fury now.!

Caro will be outraged methinks, not joyous.

perhaps, I just don't believe a near entire list of any team would knowingly cheat. Doesn't mean they're not guilty (I think they are), I just sympathise with them.
